The community is once again buzzing about the release date of Simbin’s GTR Evolution game and expansion pack for RACE07. Like posted here, the European release of the Atari version will most definitely be the 30th of September.
Amazon.com however now lists the game to be released on August 15th. Without wanting to ruin anybody’s hopes, I think it is very unlikely that American buyers will be given a head start of over six weeks on the European buyers. What’s not helping with cooling discussions down is the fact that all STEAM-using RACE07 owners now find GTR Evolution in ther game list – Listed as “Preload complete”
Now I´m pretty sure that does not mean much…but it’s quite a tease, isn’t it?

It means the game is complete and downloaded to your system, and will be unlocked as soon as its released.

Yes, but I think the point is that if its complete, why wait until september?
Maybe SimBin forgot marketing, and delay the game to show some screens. :smile:

Damn if they give this game first for Steam-users, although i’m the one too. But i can’t buy anything from Steam, so i have to wait boxed version.

A preload isn’t a complete game. Often it is missing a massive chunk of it.
For example, the Half Life 2 Episode 2 preloads were simply the engines, which were part of the original Half Life 2.
