Here is some decent news for racing fans with a Steam account. Indianapolis 500 Evolution, developed by Brain in a Jar, will now be heading to Steam Greenlight. Yeah, I know, a PC racing game might sound a bit niche, but fans of the genre need to take notice as this title is filled with historic realism like no other.

Check out some more information on Evolution:

Tracing an era of rapid technological development, Indianapolis 500 Evolution takes players from the end of the front-engine ‘roadster’ era of Indy cars to the British manufacturer invasion and the rise of mid-engine monsters, culminating with the dawn of the down-force revolution. Featuring more than 190 race cars and six historic tracks, the game also includes multiple variants of the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway, covering its development from brick-paved oval to modern speedway as it evolved throughout the 1960s. Other courses include Hanford, Langhorne, Milwaukee, Riverside and Trenton and car manufacturers such as Lotus, Lola, Hawk and McLaren. Rounding off the content features is the roster of legendary drivers for players to race against, which includes superstars such as A.J. Foyt, Graham Hill, Jim Clark, Mario Andretti, Al Unser and Jack Brabham.

Of course, support will the title through Greenlight will see the game launch as the only historic racing simulation of the Indianapolis 500 on the Steam Store, which is pretty big news to enthusiasts everywhere of the genre. Now even if this may not be your thing, show your own support by giving the game a vote at the link below, and if the game gets the “Greenlight”, make sure you pick up a copy for an authentic racing experience.

During today’s Playstation Playground event, it was revealed that the Playstation 3 was able to outsell the competition, achieving the number one spot in sales for the first half of 2012. This is according to official NPD Group Australia data. The achievement was highlighted as the Australian interactive games industry was down in value for the first half of 2012. Additionally, the Playstation 3 was the only games console in the Australian market to achieve double digit unit sales growth, year-on-year over the same period.

Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment Australia, had this to say upon announcing the figures:

“PlayStation sales in Australia are powering on, and that’s before the introduction of the new, more affordable PlayStation 3 this week. When you combine the great new PS3 form factor, our new Essentials value games range, an incredible line-up of blockbuster games content plus new innovation like Wonderbook™, this will further our momentum into this summer holiday season.”

This comes on the back of the release of the Super Slim PS3, which will hit Australian retailers this Thursday in two models: the family friendly 12GB model (AU$299.95) and the 500GB model (AU$399.95) for the more serious gamer.

The company responded by saying “As a matter of fact, yes! Entire season on disc. Dec 4th in NA for Xbox 360 and PS3. EU dates TBA.” Not only does this mean that the game will hit retail stores on December 4th, but it also reveals that the last two episodes will be released sometime before December, giving the company a little over two months to work with.

The Wii U is region locked

While we should have known this was coming and those who thought otherwise probably will be kicking themselves for assuming otherwise, but the Nintendo Wii U will be region locked. This means that only consoles bought in a certain region will be able to play that region’s games, meaning of course that there will probably be a slew of games released in Japan that we will never even be able to import.

This news comes from a translation of Famitsu courtesy of NeoGAF. This is unfortunately a continuing streak with Nintendo, as nearly every gaming device released by Nintendo over the years, minus the Nintendo DS, has been region locked.
