Interesting info coming up!
Hello PCMDaily users.
I have found some really interesting PCM08 stuff, which probably is the bird whispering in CrueTrues ear. I've done it without any help by CT though! :-) But some things needs to be cleared out, so you've got to wait until tomorrow afternoon for the news. :-D
Who had expected this? Cyanide has already reveiled the very first information about Pro Cycling Manager 2008, the next "part" of our beloved cycling game. In Cyanide's announcement we're told that they have rebuilt the rider structure from scratch, and this means that all jerseys and other stuff for the cyclists are no longer compatible. The changes are as follows: - A more realistic and consistent mesh for the rider. - No more deformation on the rider texture. - The bike texture is large enough to allow us to faithfully reproduce the real model. - Different 3D meshes for frames, wheels and helmets
Luckily for us, there will probably be a lot of jerseys available on the day of release? Why? Because Cyanide has decided to release a template and a Rider Viewer which you can use to see your creations. You can download the viewer by clicking here (temporary link). So, from Cyanide to you - that's your Christmas present. Cick "Read More" to read the full announcement.
(Besides, I've heard a bird whisper that there are more news to come soon -- and I can promise you that those news are very interesting, especially for some nationalities ;))
Some of you may be wondering what has happened to our Weekly News updates - don't worry, they are still a part of this site, and we do actually have a lot of news to bring on to you. Only problem is that I'm in the middle of an important projecct (I'm finally feeling the consequences of being at a university). Last day for handing in the project is on Friday, so at some point just before Christmas day the Weekly News will return.
Until then, well -- enjoy the Christmas days. I don't - I'm at page 60 of my project and haven't bought a single gift yet - but I hope you do ;)
As promised, we are following the Official World Cup closely. It's being organized by Nebula who - as far as I know - is doing this for the first time. The Cup is organized into four phases: a First Round, a Quarter Final, A Semi Final and the Final. The database will, as mentioned earlier, be the Equal DB made by Aab-ern. This DB is very good for online playing, since all teams are equal. No prizes have been announced yet, but tradition says that Cyanide will donate a copy of the next PCM.
The World Cup goes from March until June, and you can subscribe in this thead until mid-February. You can read the full original presentation by clicking "Read More" - it's written by Nebula, the organizer.
Once again, good luck to everyone who decides to participate.
As with (nearly) all the previous games, there's going to be hosted an "official World Championship". They don't really tend to be very well-organized (due to many factors), but it will of course be interesting to see if this new guy, Nebula, is going to manage to do the impossible -make the English and French community communicate :P There's not much information about the event yet, but you can subscribe at the official forum. No dates or prizes have been announced yet, so the only thing we really know is that they are going to use Aab-ern's Ladder Database as the "official" database.
Good luck to everyone who wants to participate. We will of course follow up on this story once we know more.
