If you read closely you would see that VLR is on board for multiplayer and general game advice to make this game a success. Not bad for a 15 year old game.Īnd VLR is not involved in game development, nor is DirtWorks Designs. There have been so many people quit dtr2 over the years and promptly declare the game as dead but yet it’s still going strong with 20+ cars at the bigger league races each week. Just because you quit a game doesn’t mean it’s dead. Nobody used the browser hardly anyway the last few years. Just because the browser went down doesn’t mean the servers went down. Now that I’ve said that and it’s settled, I will say this: If Big Ant Studios somehow gets close to the $830,000 mark, I’ll contribute enough to make it happen. There is no way in hell they’re going to raise almost 800k in 15 days. This is a plus.Īs you read the details of the project, the $266,000 only covers a base package that does not include any other chassis, and, most importantly, will not support online multiplayer racing. To get the good stuff, Bracken is looking to raise $830,000. I thought $266,000 was ambitious for a 30 day campaign, but $830,000 is nothing short of ridiculous. Anybody can look at the numbers and see that. I really liked the DWD Stocks and Super Stocks.

That’s a name I recognize as the leading developer of mods for various dirt racing simulations, primarily rFactor. It’s starting to sound a lot like name dropping. There’s nothing wrong with that, but he has no game development experience. Seriously? Is this supposed to impress me? TeamVLR is a guy who ran a Dirt Track Racing 2 league for a few years. Then we see TeamVLR listed as a consultant. His official title was Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, which is a fancy name for a salesman. First of all, Mark Bracken was a marketing guy at Ratbag, not a game developer. As of this writing, half of the time has elapsed and the pledges stand at only $52,278.īut hold on just a minute. The project will only be funded if they raise at least $266,000. Big Ant Studios with Ratbag’s Mark Bracken as Executive Vice President is looking to fund a new Dirt Track Racing game using a Kickstarter campaign. It was pretty much an asphalt driving experience.įast forward to today. There was no power sliding, even in the Late Models. The graphics never looked very realistic in the Ratbag titles, and the physics felt like you were driving on asphalt. The Difference Engine was considered great at that time, and maybe it was, but NASCAR Racing 2003 Season came out during the same year and had better physics and better graphics. While it was a great dirt racing simulation for its time, it did have some bugs that never got patched despite the fact that Ratbag remained in operation for two years after its release. I’ve played Dirt Track Racing 2 as recently as 2014. Gamespy drove the final nail in the Dirt Track Racing 2 coffin when they took their multiplayer matchmaking/browser server offline. It seems ten slots is about all that’s needed, as that is about how many were still playing the game at that time. Ratbag was dead.ĭirt Track Racing 2 continued to be used in online multiplayer league racing despite its quirky bugs and ten player limit until at least 2014, however the community is tiny. Krome Studios never attempted to create any type of racing game or simulation. Krome Studios hired many of the Ratbag Games staff and established Krome Studios Adelaide. Midway games acquired Ratbag in August of 2005, then promptly closed the Ratbag operation in December, putting about 75 people out of work with little notice.
