Fails WP:NVG as a video game. Notability separate from the sport Swedish Touring Car Championship. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 02:32, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Delete I request that this article be tagged for "speedy deletion". Nobody can provide any notability and nobody wants to contribute. The article in my mind stands as "dead end". If game enthusiasts absolutely want to discover information on this game, they can look up and search for the game on MobyGames.com. Yes, this game fails notability even though the sport it's supposedly based on is notable. I agree with you, GeoffreyT2000. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 02:37, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
Swedish Touring Car Championship was released in 1999 for PC, exclusively in Sweden (and Germany too probably?). It was developed by Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment AB, latterly known as EA DICE, and based on the real-life touring car series of the same name. This was after DICE's initial fame as pinball game developers on the Amiga, but before their acquisition of Refraction Games AB (the team responsible for the broken World War I½ FPS Codename: Eagle, who would go on under DICE to create the pretty good WWII FPS Battlefield 1942), when they were putting their physics expertise to use on PC racing sims. STCC followed the free Volvo advergame S40 Racing, DICE's entry into the market, and laid the foundations for their popular Xbox racers Midtown Madness 3 and the RalliSport Challenge series. DICE no longer makes racing games; however, their Frostbite game engine currently powers the best-selling Need for Speed franchise, and will be seen in this year's Need for Speed: Payback. I personally believe STCC is a minorly important part of racing game history, almost but not quite as important as "The One with Rachel's Date" from Season 8 is to Friends history, and I think it also deserves a Wikipedia article. Please just take my word for it and do not ask me to prove any of this. |
