GTR 3

[Jempy]

Don't read too much into the codemasters example.

The idea of having optional driving aids for less experienced players, while maintaining a full on Simulation handling model for the hardcore crowd is nothing new and has been industry standard for a while now.

It will be up to the player to decide how much simulation he can handle.

I'm sure that fans of SimBin / Sector3 games won't be disappointed

I've no doubt that the usual Simbin's sim quality .... will be at its best at most point of views for this new title.
GTR2 remains still used on my PC ( and I'm still fully painting for it ) .... but there's something I fear a bit about GTR3, that's..... the moddability of it or not.

If Simbin is wishing to keep PC and console with an equal content .... I fear the possibility of modding might not be included.
I personally hope ( as many of us I'm nearly sure ) modding will be possible and allowed.

Well this is rather mega, really excited to see what the Unreal engine can do for a racing sim. Nice scoop @Paul Jeffrey.

 

[Will Mazeo]

I just hope they'll take care with the overdone stuff present in UE4... it's a great engine but man.. even some games that need the exagerated effects got too much of it

 

[Andy_J]

Also they've extended the invite for me to keep popping down and having a look how all this stuff is progressing, so I intend to keep very close to these projects and feed you guys the news first All this despite it cost me about £60 all told to go down to Manchester and get all this info (not bribes btw, train fair, food, drink and taxis etc).

So keep tuned to RD and you'll hear it all here first!

Keep up the great work Paul. I'm sure you can claim expenses from Bram for your hard and detailed work? If not, good on you for your dedication to RD.

 

[Ole Andreasen]

For me it' s simple. GTR3 is a whole lot better than no GTR3. So bring it on.

 

[ouvert]

You have to read, pal!
Article says that the sound engineer from R3E is going to be shared with SimBin but resources are tight and nothing else will be shared. So its all good

Sounds hopefull - Weathersystem, Day & Night time change, comprehensive damage modedl. I really hope there is an rating system equally a Flag, Penalty and Safety Car rule coming.

If so, than good night AC

good .. I was kind of fast reading ... thnx

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

lol no need man, it's been my pleasure

It's actually really nice to see people face to face for a change, nothing like looking in the whites of someone's eyes when trying to get an answer to a difficult question... plus it makes me feel like a proper journalist for a change

I'm writing a travel blog type piece at the moment to describe the visit, dripping with some sarcasm and slightly exaggerated descriptions, but it might be a fun read if anyone can be bothered

I'll probably post it in the next couple of days or so..

Loads of R3E / GTR3 stuff to post first tho

 

[Warren Schembri]

Am I wrong to be reading too much in the second picture that each car has "Blancpain" at the top of the windshield or does it maybe suggest a series which might feature in GTR3?

 

[Visocane]

I forgot how good Night can look in a Game. Hope they'll have a great sucsess with GTR-3. Time for a "real" simulator again with time race's, cut warning, rain, night and everything essential that's missing on the arcadish AC and PC.

Don't read too much into the cars It's a 'proof of concept' shot using borrowed assets from R3E.

You do have all that in rF2 + driver swap and rejoin online, except for the good graphic part, but does not look that bad at night

 

[TobiasR]

Yeah, I think these screens have been out for a while to show R3E on Unreal Engine 4 or something along the lines.

You're probably thinking of this one, which has been out for a while but is different from the new ones.

Well RF2 has all that and i allready owned the Game. But i also Refunded it becaus theyr Paymodel of the Onlinesubscription is *******. I do not own a freaking Creditcard and i dont get why they just cant stay with Paysafe or Steamwalletmoney. I was able to buy the Game like this but no Onlinesub. Screw this System. How can you be able to buy the Game with Paysafe but not the Sub for 1 year.

I never cared about the Graphic's. I cared more about the FFB and that each and every Car has diffrence's in the FFB setup. Like once it's you need to get into - numbers on the other car into + and i woud have to spend the half of my life time to make a proper FFB setting wich dosent make my wheel Clip all the time apart from that the FFB is completly weird to me. And yeah a Game wich i cant play Online when i want and i get bound to a subscription wich has to be afforded with a Creditcard. Not worth the Money and the effort in my oppinion. As good the Tyrephysic's and the AI can be as bad the FFB and the "Paystory" are.

Anyway i'll make a point here because this is leading nowhere and it's OT to. Just my 2 Cent's. Not everyone like's the same Game for some reason's.

Not sure if it matters to you but they just did away with the paid online subscription and it's totally free now.

The online sub thing was removed a month ago, you can buy the game now for very cheap and just drive online

No way. Thx for the info bud. I will think about and consider to buy the Game again. That onlinething shot the bird as we used to say.

<Throws money at the screen>

As for which GT series - Blancpain?

 

[Angelo dos Santos]

I will celebrate...when is released.

But if they release a 3 car game, and then starting to add build after build, more DLC´s...and when you think the game is close to ready, GTR 4 is announced for 2 years ahead....then no, thanks.

This is not a dig at Simbin, is a dig at how the Simracing games are done this days, to me, very unfortunately.

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Yeah, I think these screens have been out for a while to show R3E on Unreal Engine 4 or something along the lines.

Those screens are brand new and exclusive to us
