*New Thread*Offshore Racing Video Game
 

For you guys out there that still like to play video games.
Would you buy an offshore racing video game?? I was just wondering how many people here are into video games? I know I am, i'm on xbox 360 and like to play online and thought that with all the car/bike/atv/snowboarding/truck/nascar/etc racing games around, how come NOBODY has made a game for Boat racing?Anybody on offshore connected with EA,THQ, Turn 10 or any other video game maker? My thoughts on an offshore racing game would be starting out small with outboard hydro's and work your way through tunnel hulls, inboard hydro's, like the stuff that races over in kent narrows in the summer then up through the ranks of small offshore up to the grand APBA Offshore ranks all along testing and tunning the motors and props. With games now a days you should be able to trim the boat in and out as well as the tabs up and down.Lots more deatails but you get the idea. I would think that boat manufacturers would be up for it if it was done right, it would be great exposure for that sport and possible get people more interested in the sport or boating..... Whatcha think???

Here's a freebie to tide you over, not exactly 360 worthy.

I would think the games exist out there. I know I've seen them in the adult arcades...you know the ones that serve drinks to adults trying to be kids again! :drink:

add poker runs in the mix.

Absolutely, in a heartbeat!

Definetly, and with the gaming today you can just keep adding, whether its more boats, courses, new parts, or motors or whatever because they make online downlaods. I actually just downloaded new cars last night for my new Need for Speed Prostreet game. It's so easy and fast. You could race online with people all over the world just like you do with forza 2 or Need for Speed or the first person shooters.

well stop talking about it and get on it :D call the people you need to call like EA sports it would be very cool if the controler vibrated to how well the boat was trimmed out in the conditions

YES!!!! I can vouch for most kids my age also.:D;):cool:

I think someone was trying this a few years ago.

Good idea, just don't know that there is a "huge" audience for it.

I wish you luck with it. PC version too!!!:D

well get as many people to vote as possible as well as give ideas like classes and boats. How many people are on Offshore only?? I'm going to make this thread on Speedwake and Scream and Fly, lets see some responce... I bet we could get Fountain Racing to sponsor it, you know how Reggie like to be involved in everything.....:D

p.s the game could also have events like the lotto shootout where testing and tuning really make the difference..

I remember a boat racing game my dad gave to me years ago, I think it was on the original Playstation.

But with technology these days a pretty sweet game could be made. Most likely couldn't have name brands in it, but names close to name brands. Would be pretty awesome.
