The game was developed for the Xbox 360 by Synetic and published in North America by Crave Entertainment with a release date of 5 August, 2008.[2] In Europe the game was published by RTL Playtainment, a subsidiary of RTL Television, and was released on 9 May, 2008.[2] The PC version was released on 7 November 2007.[3]
Using an improved version of the Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit game engine developed for Mercedes-Benz World Racing,[4] Synetic also developed a "pathfinder" system to allow AI controlled vehicles to choose their own route to a destination, so that no two pursuits are the same. According to Andreas Leicht, product manager at Synetic, creating the "pathfinder" system was the most difficult and time-consuming part of the development cycle.[4] The scenery runs at a polygon count of 1,200,000 triangles per scene[4] with a damage model based on physical impulses during a collision, in which the vertex basis is deformed. Also, visual damage to the animated model is triggered if the deformation exceeds specified limits, meaning that the cars not only deform but that parts can break and fall off.[4]
City design for the game was based on real-life architecture using industrial buildings, inner-city districts and railway stations as models, although the game does not contain an entire real city. The development team sourced several thousand photos, texture DVDs as well as researching books and videos to obtain a "real" look for the cities.[4]
The IGN Xbox Team rated Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit as one of the five worst driving games on Xbox 360, mainly referring to the German police setting to the game, and the poor voice acting in the English-language versions.[12] In a review for IGN by Ryan Geddes there was criticism that what could have been an exciting game has been reduced to the mundane.[7] The difficulty curve was labelled "inconsistent", with "cakewalk levels being followed immediately by nearly impossible ones".[7] The "Cases" mode was criticised as the player cannot tell how many missions are left until the case is completed, making the planning of a game session impossible. The missions have been described as boring and dull.[6]
There was praise for the crashes,[7] and it has been noted that the explosions are poor, but their resulting debris is a nice touch. Francis Clarke of AceGamez stated that the graphics are not acceptable for a modern game with textures not standing up to scrutiny and a clipping effect when driving through fields.[13] There has been criticism that the vehicles in the game pop-up, which is emphasised by the speed at which the player is travelling.[6]
On February 27, 2009, IGN reported that a sequel to Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit is to be released for under the names Crash Time: Burning Wheels in Europe and Crash Time 2 in the United Kingdom. This game will feature more open world environments where the first game is more linear.[14] An overhead map will be included for the first time in the series, as demonstrated in the demo available on Xbox Live Marketplace.[15] New escort missions have been confirmed by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), as has the feature that "players can drive onto a field and plow into cows, which shatter into 'cartoony' t-bone steaks upon impact". The ESRB has also commented on mentions of drugs, prostitution and one instance of sexual innuendo in reference to the new escort style missions.[16] Crash Time 2 was released on Xbox 360 in Europe on 27 November 2008,[17] and on Steam on 27 August 2009.[18]
At the 2009 Tokyo Game Show, the trailer for Crash Time III (known as Crash Time: Highway Nights in the US) premiered,[19] This game features over 200 km of roads and over 32 km of playable environments, and the player has the chance to choose their own way to proceed through missions, for example instead of simply blocking off an opponent the player can choose to immobilise the vehicle in order to complete the mission. The story follows the pursuit and investigation into a terrorist unit. Crash Time 3 features night time missions for the first time in the series.[20] A single player demo was released on Xbox Live Marketplace on 9 December 2009.[21] Crash Time 3 was released on Steam on 25 November 2009,[20] and on Xbox 360 in Europe on 27 November 2009.Also available on cloud-based gaming - Onlive
Crash Time 4: The Syndicate was launched in 2010 featuring new gameplay and plot. [citation needed] Set in the city of Cologne, Crash Time 4 initially impressed with an Xbox 360 demo well received but was marred by negative critic reviews and a delayed-release date outside of Germany. This game is the best selling game in the series.
A horrible accident occurred on Sunday morning at a coffee,and cars show near me..A couple,from my home town,were at a huge car show near Jones (The OBI,for those who are familiar with Long Island,and Jones beach).They left the show at some point.They were driving a Cobra (kit car).From the reports and info that I read,stated that the car lost control,went off the road,& crashed,where both the driver and passenger were killed.It was reported that the driver may have had medical problems,which could have been the cause of the accident.Very sad news.It will most likely cause the cancellation of any further shows to occur at the location.This is a picture of the car leaving the show,and then a picture after the accident..RIP.?
I came across a video online of the accident and it appears there were witnesses and people alongside and in the road watching cars leave the event. Sadly this time speed and a spectator was in the road and appears to have caused the driver to swerve and lose control. My heart goes out to the friends and families of the couple that lost their lives in the accident.
COBRA BALL is an Air Force airborne intelligence platform (RC-135) which carries infrared telescopes for tracking ballistic-missile tests at long range. COBRA BALL operates out of Offutt AFB NE and deploys to various locations around the world. The Cobra Ball suite of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Measurements and Signatures Intelligence (MASINT) sensor systems designed to exploit the enemy electromagnetic spectrum. The MASINT sensors are two linked electro-optical sensors -- the Real Time Optics System (RTOS) and the Large Aperture Tracker System (LATS). RTOS consists of an array of staring sensors encompassing a wide field of regard for target acquisition. LATS serves as an adjunct tracker. Due to its large aperture, it has significantly greater sensitivity and resolving power than the RTOS, but is otherwise similar. Connectivity includes JTIDS and TIBS data links. Variants have been proposed for the operational detection of theater ballistic missile launches. In war, Cobra Ball could provide rapid recognition of TBM launches following cloud-break and horizon clearance. Within seconds of launch detection, estimates of launch point, intercept point, and impact point are available for transmission over a data link to theater C4I elements like AWACS, JSTARS, and the AOC. Estimates of increasing accuracy are transmitted during the course of the missile's flight until burnout has occurred.
This is a photo of Cobra Ball with the unpressurized compartment. The compartment housed infrared sensors. I believe I was on only one mission in which we opened the door inflight (usually FL 310 to 350) for a successful "event."
- I unfortunately was the Wing Weather Officer assigned to the Cobra Ball mission during 1981. Dave Loomis, myself and others were in the open hangar door watching the final approach that night. I have to agree with Dave, the actions to save the other 18 crewmen during "typical Shemya weather" went above and beyond six fatalities.The winds were blowing nearly directly across the runway from the south at over 40 mph. The remains of the aircraft departed the runway to the south and stopped out of reach of the fire department crash trucks fire retardant coverage. We had to let the aircraft burn itself out because we could not reach it with firefighting equipment.To have found the rest of the crew alive, in the dark, scattered in the wreckage, snow falling and winds howling, is a testament to the fire rescue crews. Not enough has ever been said about their efforts.In the days following the accident, I became the official accident photographer responsible for documenting all of the pieces of the wreckage for the investigation team. I am amazed to this day that we recovered as many of my friends as we did that night.Thanks for your efforts to keep this tragedy from fading into the past.Larry J. Becker, Lt Col, USAF (ret)
Wing Weather Officer Shemya, 1980 - 1981
- I too thank you for remembering the men who died that night. I was the RC crew chief at Eielson AFB who launched the ball for that fateful flight. I knew each and every one of the men on that crew and was devastated when I was called at home that night and informed that it had crashed. These men took their lives in their hand every time they flew into "the rock", Shemya. I flew in there many times over my 8 years stationed at Eielson and was never really comfortable on landing. It was a short runway and always treacherous weather. That was a horrible time for our Wing, we were a very small outfit where everyone knew everyone else and their families. I'm sure the memory of those days still haunt many of us that were stationed there.Sincerely,Hobart Gay
- I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the site. I was stationed on Shemya from Feb 68 to Feb 69. I maintained the tacan and belonged to the comm. squadron. I was on the squadron volleyball team and actually played a game against you guys in the hanger where Rivet Ball was hangered. I remember when it ran off the end of the runway. I knew there were two different aircraft, but was not aware of their names at the time. I also remember Boozer's funeral. All the photos brought back memories of my year on Shemya. Thanks. Bob Mai
