VirtualR – Sim Racing News
100% Sim Racing News

Interesting – on which article did he post that?

Just one thing: I’m wondering if this is GTR3, or if that’s coming aswell later on. Afterall the first sound preview was on the gtr-game domainname..

Looking forward to seeing and feeling Simbin’s new tech in action :-).

I hope SimBin had in mind those of us that don’t have a big-boy budget for gaming. My laptop can run iRacing and Race07 at top graphic settings, and the graphic quality I get is enough for me. But some games like pCARS are nigh impossible to run, and they’re only as good as the gaming rig they’re on.

That aside, and with some reassuring comments by SimBin’s staff here on VirtualR regarding the games physics, I cannot wait for this!!! 100% support for you guys!

I’m still skeptical about this.
For some reason i feel upon release it’s going to disappoint greatly.
Looks good so far but ya….

This looks pretty good. Even though I really don’t like the “simraceway” approach to content, I’m going to purchase content whether I like this game or not just to support SimBin.

?

According to several forumposts all over the net, this is NOT Gtr3.

Yop yop, just so it’s clear, what will be released in approx 2 weeks is just a teaser, the car and the track people could try at Gamescom :-) Not the final game !

So we get to race teaser with one car and track and the released game has more content?

But are Simbin working on a full-on sim that will blow our minds?

I kind of get the feeling Simbin are using RR Racing Experience to test out their new tech, and will release a full-on, proper, paid game soon.

and more features :-)

I have the same feeling, Simbin has many new ideas and some are very good.
RR2 was a test platform

It’s the way of (gaming) life, that you have to upgrade your hardware from time to time. Since you can run iRacing and Race07 with graphics maxed out, your laptop seems not that bad. And pCARS isn’t really optimized yet, because of its pre-alpha-status.

If everybody had that approach we would still be driving sims that only look as good as grand prix 2. There needs to be at least some sort of improvement every now and then.

I don’t think there is a gtr3…

*dramatic chipmunk*

Don’t know what you guy’s think but that look’s really good for me.

I see a ghost and a ideal line helper. Seems that every sim developer change
a bit there game style with implementing such a features. I’m fine with it so
far i have the choice of a full pro mode.

I hope that this trend doesn’t turn’s in codie’s way in the future. But same
time i can understand that the money is not coming from pure sim software and if
it is necessary to better survive in competition it stands to reason.

One thing is fine with that because many people were hating pCars for arcade
features and such and now we find this features in all of the upcoming sim’s. Now let me a bit lough about this hahahahaha.

”I see a ghost and a ideal line helper. Seems that every sim developer change

Race07 has it, so it’s not new.

Yes and keep it alive. It is ok.

Wow, incredible low poly. Improved GTR2 with better lighting.

Don’t get me wrong, but i don’t see much low poly stuff here.

I have only one question. What engine is this built on?

That’s good news, I was waiting for an improved gtr2 with better lightning.

For a minute I thought wow this looks just like GT5………………oh wait that was just a GT5 clip. Still looks awesome though.

Indeed, it’s all in the optimisation. I ran the Historix mod and Targa florio on an really ageing duo 2 and intergrated gfx card, most settings med/low. It’s surprising how steady the framerate is, and even more surprising how good it still looks. The less optimised/polished mods/tracks are sluggish and ugly in comparison. I’m sure Pcars will allow a moderate system to run it well…. when it’s fully finished.

Yes true, but, this is PC gaming. Not everyone has the highest of high-end PCs. The software should accommodate for this in some capacity. It is wrong to think you should be able to run max settings for recent games on sub-standard hardware however.

If Simbin’s F2P platform is like most others, one thing you can look forward to is plenty of updates. if this is a test platform those updates/developments may transfer over to the full game too.

Does this sim have dynamic weather and adjustable time of day?
Thanks.

Enough polygons to look clean, IMO.

The Audi looks awesome and they only released one shot? I am disappoint son! :P

Is it just me, or does the track that’s at 0:55 look very much like Trial Mountain from Gran Turismo?

The latest version of pCars runs maxed out on my medium rig. With 40′s fps with 20 cars. I have a 470GTX and a cheap AMD 4 core. The GPU could be overclocked by 150 mhz. But doesn’t seem necessary.

Im just guessing here, but from the looks of it it appears that the lighting is baked to the track so real time of they day wouldn’t be possible (it would still be possible to have a few different preset times, like say noon, afternoon and night). Disclaimer: this whole post is baseless speculation, I could very well be wrong.

I thought that too!

Dude….. The footage between 0:53 and 1:10 IS Gran Turismo 5.

Here’s one more:

Here’s one more:

it sounds good as well…which is important!

it sounds good as well…which is important!

Damn, now I don’t know if the downrates are because some users hate MAFIAA or because they’re stupid enough to not see that the footage cuts to a different game for about 20 seconds :D

Well, this is a more casual free-to-play game, not a sim. Why wouldn’t you expect robust driving aids (which even AC will have)?

It is ok for me if anybody like it. I don’t need it and don’t use it. Nobody is forcing me to like or use the title ( are you sure that this wan’t be a sim ? ). Everybody should find something for his like and if it is not me it is also ok. It is not the most important in my life. Nothing simple as that. I’m not going to harber a grudge. I’m not a kid and come here to hate or badmouth any of this great works even if it doesn’t fit my own intrests. I’t is not me who is calling everything and every race game arcade because the car isn’t riding on ice and spinning every corner. Me is neutral even if i for myself don’t use any of the race/game/sims and try to be objective without to insult somebody for his like. Maybe sometimes my honest opinion is stronger than by other people but it is not offent meant. The ghost and helper thing i write because of many other’s were hating pCars for arcade features and now as you for yourself mentioned even AC will have it and if i’m right ISI also. So far i have the choice for a full pro mode i’m fine with it and if not also. I don’t need it to preserve my life.

Because downvoting is the new art of anonymous trolling

Because downvoting is the new art of anonymous trolling

Yep, I knew this feeling would happen. Excitement! :D

Yep and because its anonymous, it totally loses its point or meaning for a troll – basically cos he’s not trolling. :)
And because it’s anonymous to other members he doesn’t get the personal attention.
It’s like the dislikes on YouTube, no matter what the subject or how helpful or funny or innocent, people will dislike it.

Sometimes the down vote can be because they legitimately disagree or don’t like what you posted but then why not say so instead ? Cos a down vote is quicker. But what are other memebers to do now ? Think the poster is a bad guy ? No, they have their own opinion and may even up vote the same post. So the down vote has had no effect other than to let you know that some anonymous entity had an objection. Well panic stations then eh ? Without knowing the objection, its useless.

Being bothered at the down votes is like being annoyed at graffiti on a wall that you’ll never see again.
So to me the down votes don’t bother me at all, simply because they are sometimes abused by the less mature minds amongst us, so consequently are only worth ignoring.

The only people who really matter in the thread are the ones who will take the time to post a constructive opposing view instead (if they disagree with you).
And I can imagine you get people who down vote you simply because it’s you. That’s actually quite sad but a victory for you in a way because it means that you have somehow gained this control over them without them even realising it.
Your every post controls their response. Think of that power :)

Now SURELY this post is worth some of those meaningless down votes ! Don’t let me down.

Then you should disable option of the posting order by “best”, which is also the default option, which means that downvoted posts are at the bottom of all comments. That’s the reason why they downvote.

I’m happy as it is. Like I said, it doesn’t bother me at all.
Besides when you sort by ‘best’ its not longer chronological and maybe easier to miss a post.

You think racers will have to pay for cars? I personally would want to just buy a title with everything in as it used to be.

Looks promissing, The sound engine and the quality of sounds in general looks quite good indeed!!!! Let´s see those babies on track on my end!!!

Keep up guys!!

R8 LMS! Sexy! I wont to drive that beautiful beast.
