Exclusive screenshot of PCM08
Other GamesUpdate: I just found another screenshot. It's not exclusive, but I haven't seen in at other PCM websites before. See it here.

Today, I was contacted by the press department of Focus, the publisher of Pro Cycling Manager. He wanted to give me an exclusive screenshot, and I thought: 'Why not?'. So, although it's in no way revolutional, it's a screenshot of Pro Cycling Manager 2008 - and we haven't really got many of them yet. Also, it's exclusive to PCM.daily, and that's never a bad thing either ;) Along with it, I got some screenshots of the cover, including a new 3D version of the cover. I was also sent a press announcement about the game which states that it will be released on the 19th of June, not on the 20th as some sources have said.
All screenshots of PCM08 can be found in our Screenshots section - including the new exclusive one :)

Pro Cycling MANAGER - Le Tour de France 2008

The management side of the game has been given extra depth with many new elements. It has an entirely new stamina system, as well as a more realistic progression curve for each rider. Plus the new ‘young talent recruit system’ will help you to get the signatures of the best young riders before anyone else.

This year, the racing is even more realistic, with the most advanced rider AI yet plus highly detailed rider models and animations. The 2008 edition also includes a new improved user interface, lighting system and more detailed, richer environments with a large variety of buildings and tracks.
The new improved, highly detailed graphics and extra features look set to make this the most beautiful immersion into the professional cycling world to date.

that's only 7 days after MGS4. which means I won't be getting it on release day Wink
#2 | EintrachtFan on 05. May 2008 20:25
Well, from the key features is only one really "new". And the screenshot is really nothing special.
But i'm still hopeful it'll be a good game... Frown
#3 | Waghlon on 05. May 2008 21:03
Oh god the dilemma. PCM08 or MGS4?
#4 | issoisso on 05. May 2008 21:04
waghlon, you're being sarcastic, right? MGS, hands down Wink
#5 | Waghlon on 05. May 2008 21:07
Youre right, im being sarcastic, what the heck was i thinking?
#6 | Addy291 on 05. May 2008 21:38
Throughout the 180 real-time 3D playable races


Cyanide finally gave it a 1:1 scale? or am I misreading that?
#7 | Waghlon on 05. May 2008 21:45
Cyanide will never give in and accept 1:1 scale. Thats against their nature.
#8 | EintrachtFan on 05. May 2008 21:51
real-time doesn't mean real-time. There are games which are round-based, where you do your turn and then the computer turns. And then there are real-time games, like PCM, where you can control your riders at every second and the computer also control his riders every second.
I hope you understand what i mean ^^ I think that's the case here.
#9 | Addy291 on 05. May 2008 21:53
I understand now, thanks EintrachtWink
#10 | chuckie on 05. May 2008 21:58
highly detailed rider models and animations.

That's not for them to deciceWink
#11 | CrueTrue on 05. May 2008 22:04
EintrachtFan: True, it isn't anything 'special', but something is better than nothing Wink
#12 | EintrachtFan on 05. May 2008 22:13
Yep, that's right. Better than Crimson Cow's cycling game, there we don't even have the info, which company is going to create the game ^^
#13 | Deadpool on 05. May 2008 22:22
MGS?
#14 | rjc_43 on 05. May 2008 22:24
Metal Gear Solid i presume...
#15 | CrueTrue on 05. May 2008 22:25
Eintracht: Aren't they going to create it themself as with that Vampire game which has been postponed for 6 months? Wink
#16 | CrueTrue on 05. May 2008 22:25
And yes, MGS is Metal Gear Solid, a very, very awaited game for PS3.
#17 | rodda on 06. May 2008 07:50
surely 1:1 would not be a great thing really anyway...
#18 | p3druh on 06. May 2008 11:01
1:1? Yeah, because everyone wants to play the same stage for 4 hours...
#19 | stuartmcstuart on 06. May 2008 12:34
They would have to use a much faster forward than x8, thats for sure Wink
#20 | E_Hagen on 06. May 2008 14:12
Only 65 teams :cry:

Yes, it's exclusive. Cyanide and Focus gave it to Feltet.dk and not you!
#22 | chuckie on 06. May 2008 16:37
Only 65 teams


I'm sure there will be more un-official teams.
#23 | CrueTrue on 06. May 2008 16:38
Mercury: True, and?

Chuckie: Nope.
#24 | Mercury on 06. May 2008 16:42
That's stealing then....
#25 | CrueTrue on 06. May 2008 16:47
Okay.
#26 | Waghlon on 06. May 2008 17:55
Crue, when something is "exclusive" to another site, that means its not yours.
#27 | Addy291 on 06. May 2008 17:59
He knowsWink He just doesn't care
#28 | Waghlon on 06. May 2008 18:10
Addy, i know, i just doesnt care Pfft
#29 | mrlol on 06. May 2008 18:24

Depends on what their copyright policy is - if there's no link to one on the page, or anything like it, chances are that probably won't be construed as illegal
