We may not be getting a whole lot of news regarding Pro Cycling Manager 2011, so while we're waiting, you may want to turn to Cyanide's free online-game 'Cycling Manager Online'.
As some of you may remember, the game was initially launched as 'Tour de France Online', followed up by a Vuelta game and then, in December 2009, a full season-based game.
Much like PCM, you control a team of riders with individual fitness planning, training etc. All stages are simulated, but you can plan the team tactics prior to each race.
I'm not sure how active the game is, but apparently, Cyanide still believes in the project. The game was recently moved to this address: http://cymo.tourdefrance-game.com/
The game is currently in maintenance, but it's expected to be back up within a couple of days.
Yes, you probably know the lyrics of this amazing song 'Friday' by Rebecca Black. Thanks to PCM.daily, you've (= all members who have logged in) been able to enjoy this song every 2nd hour you've visited PCM.daily.
PCM.daily feels a great amount of responsibility when it comes to letting our members know that it's soon time for the weekend, so is there really any better way than playing 'Friday' for you? I don't think so.
For unknown reasons some of you mistook our intentions, thinking this was some sort of evil virus -- let one thing be sure: Rebecca Black is not a virus. Alright, 1,429,963 people (expect that number to have risen when this article has been published...) dislike the song, but with more than 73 million views, she must be an amazing artist.
Happy 1st of April everyone :D
... and yes, we, the crew at PCM.daily, had lots of fun with this. We hope you "enjoyed" our little prank. And don't forget that we did not prank you last year - I'm sure PCMNorge remembers ;)
According to Amazon.fr, Cyanide will release two cycling games this year: Pro Cycling Manager - Season 2011 for PC and, as revealed a while ago, Tour de France 2011 for both Playstation 3 and XBOX.
Amazon confirms 16th of June as the release date for the PC-version (as we announced earlier today), and apparently, the console versions will be released on the same date.
Along with the release date, Amazon.fr also reveals the cover of the upcoming PCM. You can see the PC-cover below and the XBOX/PS3-covers in our new PCM11 Screenshot Section.
Although Cyanide has been surprisingly quiet for quite some time, a few details on Pro Cycling Manager 2011 do slip out from time to time.
This time, it's the Scandinavian release date of the game. Although it may not be much, it's something: The Scandinavians can expect the game to be released on the 29th of June, according to Nordic Game Supply, the official Scandinavian distributor of the game.
So far, there's no word on the international / download version of the game, but at least one website has it listed as being released on the 17th of June -- which does sound somewhat reliable. Either way, it's safe to expect it to be released around that date.
Pro Cycling Manager 2011 to be released on Playstation 3
French website PlayFrance.com has revealed that Cyanide is currently working on a Playstation 3 version of its upcoming Pro Cycling Manager 2011.
Very few details have been revealed so far, but according to PlayFrance the game will be released in mid-June for a price of c. 50 €.
For that price, it does seem likely that the game is more than just the PSP-like XBOX-version that was released in 2009. Cyanide refused to make any comments on the matter, though.
