Developer Cyanide and publisher Focus Home Interactive are delivering a new short teaser for their upcoming Pro Cycling Manager 2013 and Tour de France 2013, designed to show off the new animation system for the characters.
The team states, "Animations are now adapted to rider effort. It improves the realism and gives you precious indications on the effort and energy levels of your opponents."
Cyanide says that the new animations are also a simple way for the player to evaluate how hard he can push his own team and will reveal which tactics are best suited.
The video is taken directly from Pro Cycling Manager 2013, but the same system is also working in Tour de France 2013, which will be launched in consoles.
The two cycling-inspired titles will be launched before the Tour de France starts in early July.
