Haven't bought, but looks like MCO - Motor City Online, but singleplayer

[GeeBee]

Anyone else here remember/play MCO? I know the community had been working / supporting various projects for it but most of them never really got anywhere. This game looks like it could get close if it has any ambitions for multiplayer.

Seem's like the car handling may be similiar to MCO as well. From a couple reviews "The steering and car handling is so poor that it makes the game almost unplayable." "The cars handle like boats - Sometimes when attempting to accelerate from a full stop you just stand there revving the engine to the redline without moving, even though your car is in gear"

In MCO you could change out different engine block types and like ~14 more components, Transmission, rear end. Suspension Spring, Shocks, and rollbars for front and rear. Wheels/Tires (no wheelwell limits) Front and Rear spoilers on the body. It took a fair amount of tweaking to get cars to be drivable. Near the end I had a 57 Bel Air convertible w/ a blown 502 making +1000hp and it handled like a dream in a corner, if you let off the gas, if you tried to turn with throttle it would end very bad for you. I would typically keep pace with the Firebird Forumla's in that car. /ToggleGlassyEyedReflection off

Would really like to purchase this game if it has any Intention of going multiplayer, doesn't have to be a MMO, A creative multiplayer with a power/weight settings system would work. Ability to host a server in a "near" mmo setting would be wonderful.

I thought the same thing when I saw this. The interface looks quite similar going off memory. I only ever played in the beta though, I couldn't justify a monthly fee for games way back then.

Might have to keep my eye on this game.

we are going to have multiplayer mode! We had it working 3 years ago in our first prototype, but due to the fact we want something special there, not only play with each other but lot more, we want to see first how the game will be accepted by the players.

We are going to add it, for sure!! That is part of our game design. :)

Any timeline for this as of currently? At least for the Xbox version. :)

MP is currently under development. No hard ETA, but our goal is to release somewhere around June. Most likely there will be multiple releases, first, we will add the Pub with high scores and hall of fame. (that will be in the next few weeks)

Since this thread has been resurrected from 2017, I'd like to point out that the poor handling mentioned in the OP from 7 years ago no longer exists. If anyone reads this thread and is put off by that mention, don't worry about it. There have been numerous updates since then and the handling has been good for years now.
