AutoKinesis updates for 7/17

Hi guys!

In case you missed it, here is some cool stuff we put up at AutoKinesis:

 

First Drive: 2011 Rolls Royce Ghost

I am certain that at some point, you’ve had a discussion with your friends or FinalGear contemporaries, the discussion of what cars you would drive if fame and fortune were immediately bestowed upon you. I know I have. It usually splinters into a conversation about the expensive car you’d want to drive and the car you want to be driven in. Say that, more realistically speaking, after hard work and saving, you had the means to get one or the other. What call do you make? Rolls Royce says that the answer lies in their latest creation, the Rolls Royce Ghost. Read More….

First Drive: 2011 Ford Fiesta

Ain’t no party like an NYC party, ‘cuz an NYC party don’t stop. Unless the party is more of a fiesta, specifically the 2011 Ford Fiesta, and you mire it in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The party at the very least slows to a crawl at that point. No worries, though, since the Fiesta is specifically designed for the urban stop-and-go environment, giving the driver plenty to work with on the side roads and in the gridlock.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 parks in the dream garage this fall

When Test Drive Unlimited dropped in ’07, we ate it up because a ton of the fun was not racing, which is admittedly odd for  a game that focused on being an M.O.O.R: Massively Open Online Racing game. Between the high-speed challenges littered across miles of highways and back roads, players of TDU were free to ogle their garages outfitted with cars bought with race winnings. And if they wanted something out of their immediate price range? A player could pop in to any car dealership on the island and take any car or motorbike out for a spin. Between all this and shopping for outfits for your character, TDU allowed us regular folks a taste of what it’d be like to be a care-free car collector on a tropical island.

We can expect to indulge in  new  petrolhead car-porn fantasy sim this fall, as Atari has announced the pending arrival of Test Drive Unlimited 2. The newest installment will let you compete and partner up with other drivers that will populate “a brand new island.” TDU2 will feature vehicle damage, day and night cycles, and weather effects. The single player narrative has been revamped, but will still retain the whole luxury “lifestyle customization” elements, meaning you’ll still spend time shopping for luxury beach houses, buying clothes to match your super car, or customizing the car to match instead.

New race types, a slew of new vehicles, and the promise of a new island to explore should keep us busy as we re-hibernate at the end of 2010.  We’ll keep you appraised of updates until then, and check out www.testdriveunlimited2.com for more info.

…..transmission ends.

Getting Caught Up….

So what’s new with you guys? it seems slow here, post-wise, so I thought to give everyone a quick heads-up. as mentioned before, AutoKinesis turned 2 recently, and as such, is going through some kind of internet puberty. We’re experiencing profound changes that are new and strange to us.

The regular update schedule (meaning the at least 1 post a week schedule) is hereby suspended while we work out this exciting growth period behind the scenes. Here’s some of the stuff that’s happening:

• There is now a true “we” as AutoKinesis is no longer a one man operation, and has been blossoming into an ever growing team. sweet!
• domain name change soon, no longer the brutally long and complex address, but something simple to remember
• new location. AK blog will still be running and gunning, but the main content will be on our very own site.
• New stuff!! you’ll get the articles, pics and snarky commentary of old, but more videos, events and content.
• new look, new logo (same name, we’re not taking a page from “SyFy” and calling ourselves “AutyoKinysiys”)

That should bring you up to speed for now. Let me make it clear that this isn’t one of those indefinite we’re-under-construction messages that people put up and disappear forever, the time frame for our metamorphosis is very specific. Plus, I’ll still drop news and hints here while we plug away at it.

Right, now back to work….
