    Weird. After being quiet for so long, I assumed it was dead. My.com still involved, I wonder... time to go hunting. Edit: Yep, still a My.com game. Hmm.

    Yet on Steam it doesn't say anything about My.com, just Saber Interactive and Mad Dog Games.

    Did World of Speed shut down at some point? Or did it even release? I remember a game with a similar name, coming out with the same premise.

    Sweet, been waiting for this since its announcement, ever since Need for Speed World was shut down I was hoping for something to replace it.

    I had a huge PC racing mmo itch at some point and scouted very hard for something to satisfy it, after hours of searching this was the absolute best one I could find based on the information about it on the site but it wasn't released with no release date and I looked on the forums everyone thought it was never going to... FUCKING HYPED.

    No, World of Speed never shut down. It was an offshoot of the original Project C.A.R.S. that went silent for a long time. It was supposed to basically be a F2P Project C.A.R.S., but with Need for Speed like car customization.

    I'm curious to check it out and see how it's developed over time. I'm sure that everything good is locked behind a paywall, but I'm always willing to check a new racing game out. After all, it won't cost me anything to take a peek.
    You might want to look at Ubisoft's The Crew.  The Crew 2 is in beta.  Playing The Crew will reward some vehicles in The Crew 2 on release.  Although it's not so much a racing game but more like an online car game.

    Actually you might not.



    I actually played The Crew for months on release, and also some with the Wild Run expansion. The second one is shaping up to be more of the same, but with a ton more vehicles, including boats and planes. I agree its not the best racing sim, but its a fun "car game". And if you have friends or "crew" it can be a real blast. Matchmaking has come a long way since its release, and the races are pretty great now. If you tried it at launch, but didnt like it, I would suggest giving it another shot, its much improved.
