New SuperCar Challenge for PS3 under development
Click above for high-res gallery of SuperCar Challenge screen caps
System 3 has a follow-up title to last year's Ferrari Challenge: SuperCar Challenge. The new game will offer 40 cars to choose from, not all of which are Ferraris this team. The roster will include such cars as the Aston Martin DBR9, Lamborghini Murcielago RGT, McLaren F1, Maserati MC12 and, of course, a supercar or two from Maranello like the Ferrari FXX. You'll be able to race them on 20 real and fictitious tracks and the graphics of each car have been improved with better polygon counts, texture details and buffing. Multiplayer capability can link 16 drivers at once, sim players will get good handling and tuning options, and there'll be an arcade mode for folks who just want to tear up the pavement. The AI has also been redesigned to be more consistent, and there's a "Legendary" AI setting meant to challenge the best drivers.
It will be available exclusively for the PS3 this Spring. While you wait, check out the high-res screenshots below and the video about the game's innovative camera angles by clicking here.

I foolishly bought Ferrari Challenge from the same developer ($60) because it had VIR and there was the promise of monthly DLC. Out of the box the graphics are gritty and low rez with copious popup and frequent drops in frame rate. The online racing was broken and the leader boards are rife with glitch times.
Well 9 months later, the game is still broken and no DLC has been delivered; instead it will all be rolled into a new game. Ferrari Challenge amounted owners were nothing more than beta testers and we had to pay for the privilege.
Let’s hope Ferrari Challenge: SuperCar Challenge better, but they’re not getting anymore of my money.

I was disappointed with NFS: Carbon.
Whatever happened to good old games.

"I was disappointed with NFS: Carbon."
Well that's to be expected...

They wouldn't have any business if Gran Turismo was finished and out.

gt5 will be out at the end of the year.

Larry:: The games sucks because its happens to be a "BIG DEMO" hence the word prologue, and if you played throughout the GT series, you would know that something like this "Prologue" deal would be a demo/ glimpse of what to expect. Don't hate just because it has 40 cars, and that you didn't know what prologue meant and bought the game.
fYI: GT5 will be coming out this year estimated summer for japan, Late fall/early winter U.S/Canada..and Christmas time in Europe.

C'mon, do you really believe in that "FYI"?

This Larry character:
40 cars? My Prologue has 73 cars. Did you special order some undone version?
Oh, and i find Prologue to be more fun than any other racing game out including Forza. I also have a Logitec G25 clutch wheel so the game play is that much better.
You GT haters need to recognize who will always be the best.

I was talking about this game in this article.. it only has 40 cars, so scratch that. ive owned gran turismo 3 and 4, great games, but i was disappointed by the prologue because of the driving dynamics and its really not that fun, i hate to say it but forza is much better

oh just for the record, I was a GT lover, I cant tell you how many hours Id sit behind the tv playing those games. Anybody that comes over and plays the Prologue hates it, so if the game (GT5) is anything like the prologue I'll be severely disappointed.

I can't say anything about the Gran Turismo 5 that is going to come out... I didn't even play the prologue (don't own a PS3). But Forza Motorsport 2 is the most realistic driving I ever played. And I played a demo or the full game of 99.9% of driving sims since the days of the original NFS on PC.
I cannot speak for GT5, but the previous versions were not as nearly as realistic as some PC simulations of the time. But the thing that makes me really jealous of GT5 is that uber-cool Logitech G25 wheel with the fully functional manual with clutch. I want to get a PS3 just for that!!! I guess I'll have to try and see if GT5 is any good...

I wouldn't even bother with this game. To have the oppurtunity to drive all ferrari's for 60 dollars isn't worth it to me. I would say 1/3 of the cars in this game drive exactly the same regardless of model/year, etc. I would prefer Forza or GT series where you get everything...
on another note does anyone have Race Pro for 360? How is that?

My brother does who posts on here.. Says it's awful.... My other brother said the same... Our only hope is Forza 3 for us without a PS3... I still say GT1 was the best racing game ever!

I can't wait for GT5.
I bet that Logitech Wheel/Clutch combo really adds to the fun.

Seeing how this is a post about GT5...
GT5 better be the Second coming of Christ, it has been in development for more than 3 years (or something close to that)! I love the GT series. I just hope that they don't make the mistake they did with GT4. Sure, it had hundreds of cars. But most of those cars were multiple versions of the Impreza, Lancer, and 68hp Suzukis. They had a few muscle-cars at least, but they seriously lacked any modern American cars. Its not about performance either (see Diahatsu).
Anyway, not even Forza matches up to GT in terms of physics, but its getting closer. I applaud them on that.

I wouldnt touch this game with a 10 foot pole. Bought Ferrari challenge pre-order (as any true tifosi would) and boy it sucked. Graphics, gameplay, cars, just awful.
FWIW, Forza 2 has been my game of choice for a while, for the way the cars handle - but the graphics on GT5 are unbelievable. Here's to hoping that GT5 is as balls as its supposed to be, and that Forza 3 is equally as impressive.
