Pro Cycling Season 2010 : Le Tour De France

For nearly 10 years, the Cycling Manager series, created by Cyanide studio, has offered a clever mix between sports simulation and management. It has continuously increased its audience through its different versions, each introducing novelties and each becoming the new video game benchmark for hundreds of thousands of players.

Today, Pro Cycling Manager starts afresh to offer its most beautiful cycling season. Benefiting from a new more beautiful and more powerful graphic engine, Pro Cycling Manager/Tour de France 2010 marks one of the most important steps since the beginning of the series!

Concerned with offering the richest and most realistic experience possible, Cyanide designed a new graphic engine for the 2010 edition to allow a level of detail never seen before during the races.

Thus, many improvements reinforce the race stages' realism. The game features very high resolution textures and a new handling of the flora which is now luxuriant, more diverse and environmentally accurate to where the race is taking place. The lighting ambiance of each one of the hundreds of stages has been reworked according to various weather conditions - sunny, rainy, cloudy, foggy, etc. - in order to offer more believable and vivid sets.

Lastly, many advanced visual effects complete the ultimate rendering of the game, especially during postproduction: the bloom effect simulates image exposure to light, more depth of field enhances the focus of the TV cameras that follow cyclists during each race.

This new more detailed and realistic look offers the most beautiful and the most authentic experience in bigger and more diverse environments.
