GTR 3

What an idiotic post that is. More choice in sim titles is better for everyone.

the idiot is probably the one who didn't understand with the smile that it's 15th degree...

In the end we shouldn't give too much attention to the Porsche GT3 on the picture. I think it's just a screenshot from their earlier build when they had "Blancpain" BMW Z4 GT3 cars. It may just be their clumsy way of teasing a new game !

Some of you don't seem to understand what a leak is. Maybe its a language thing. A leak is the unsanctioned release of confidential information to news media. Its not unusual for a leak to have one source. In this case we have two sources. The original tweet and Paul's confirmation from the head of Simbin. We also have a linkedin source from Simbin confirming that they will be at Gamescom.

i doubts its a leak at all, look at the attention the game has now, its all marketing

Welcome to my ignore list then.

...
We also don't know why neither Simbin or FIAWEC mentions GTR3 being an FIAWEC game.
...
Meanwhile ACC was all over the net the moment they said it was the official Blancpain game.?

Yeah, because SRO basically announced it with a press release. Would be nice to have that for a WEC game too...

FIA and Simbin both had the chance to do that, as they clearly know this "leak" or whatever you want to call it is, is out there, yet don't seem bothered in the slightest to confirm or deny. Strange marketing strategy imo. Just another screenshot would have done so much without dismissing the news that might come at Gamescom.

That's not true, as neither Catalyst Games nor SimBin UK are listed as exhibitors at the 2018 Gamescom. Which makes this all very much strange, unless they'll promote GTR3 at the RaceRoom showroom. Which would be strange aswell.

Well the only reason I was looking forward to ACC was because it was the closest new thing to WEC,but if GTR3 has WEC then I have no reason to get ACC XD
(Sorry to my compatriots at Kunos XD)

Ok but how are they still showing screenshots of the wrong cars after 18 months in development?

Imagine if Kunos revealed ACC with a shot of a Pirelli World Challenge Cadillac and then told us it was a Blancpain game...

 

[Koen Verlinde]

For now I'm much more inclined to believe GTR3 will be about worldwide endurance series of GT cars rather than the World Endurance championship. Stuff like ADAC, Super GT, Pirelli world, that would make sense considering the info and the screens we have received.

Hello, thank you for the information.

I'm at Gamescom next Wednesday. In which hall at which booth the game will be shown?

 

[whip]

where is gamescom being held?

Its not strange marketing when you remember Simbin clearly did not want to release this information at precisely this time. If your partner is trying to launch a TCR pack for RR this week, the last thing you want is to steal all its thunder by officially announcing the GTR3 license.

Cologne, Germany

Can someone explain how is this more valuable than ACC?
i.e: ACC is already limited to GT3 cars. This one will be even more limited. I'm probably a big AC fan, but really can't see the value in getting less, and remain excited..

Thanks

Does any notion of value matter other than rabid fanboyism? in the end you get two complimentary sims.

A WEC title would be three classes ( let's ignore LMP1-H, it's almost dead ) vs SRO's management of GT3 & GT4 - however the WEC is a very small number of events at an even more limited range of tracks than Blancpain. Not a great license :S IMSA Weathertech would be harder on marketing but easier on word-of-mouth, I'd think.

Anyway this is all dubious hype so far - give me something concrete & I'll pay actual attention.
