VirtualR – Sim Racing News

whoohoo first one ^^ !!! This looks great, love the uphill races !

Looks like a warp free three screen experience as well. Very nice!

OMG, sounds are so amazing!!

Bloody hell. Sim audio revolution! FINALLY! Only taken about 6 years lol. I would like to buy the dev team a drink, but you said it’s free to play? How times have changed.

This really looks beautiful, even better that last trailer. :)

That looks devastatingly fast. But it sounds superb.

very good, gt5 was so far the only game with some decent enviromental sounds, now i wanna hear a direct source version :)

Damn great sounds. Fantastic work, Simbin! Can’t wait to try RRRE.

What little we are seeing of this title looks very encouraging. What I’m completely not understanding, however, is why there is so little footage surfacing from Gamescom? Perhaps someone who’s been there can comment?

Bring Em on SimBin RRRE and GTR3 we want both nothing less!!!

Marvelous sound work.

Check out this vid

yeah, I noticed that too. Very nice, indeed!!!

What are those red things that he drives through??
Powerups??? LOL…

Ok It obviously sounds awesome, but at the same time it doesnt really sound different to any other ISI/rFactor engined game (which all previous simbin titles are). It sounds awesome because the samples and such sound freaking amazing (plus it sounds like they have the volume blasted) but the actual sound modelling/engine doesnt seem to sound any different than other simbin aka ISI/rFactor games.

BRAVO!!!!! hats off to everyone at Simbin!

The main thing is that it sounds good. Who needs new technologies, if they don´t improve anything?

looks arcade..

This game looks arcade. The car is too fast and flyes everywhere.The graphics are OK, I supose thats enough.. fine now?

Those, we call braking gates. It’s part of the optional raceline when doing a leaderboard challenge game session.

One more time ?
Looks arcade… There you go. Feeling better ? ;)

I would say its hard to judge how accurate the feel of speed is, but if you have ever seen a hill-climb race in real life, you would be surprised how fast it can look, and how fast cars change racing lines. I was not running hot for the mountain race track, but the hill climb idea, and the fact that it looked all very solid graphically and sound wise, was a very pleasant surprise. I am sure that when we now more details about the long term idea about Raceroom X , it will become very interesting.

Whatever people say in here, does not matter.
For the honest and passionate sim and modding enthusiast , it has been a holy year up and till now. We are spoiled with new toys. Who could ever have something against that..

Maybe it’s the brake line in 3D ?

the Raceroom booth at GamesCom was running a Lap time contest. This meant having to wait your turn, and allot of people where on a tight schedule, to visit all the area´s . That might explain it. There is allot of footage out there, but almost all show the same. The lap time Race. All in all i was surely NOT disappointing with what was shown. At the moment i feel that lots of details of the game project seem t0 be kept from the press. i am sure we will get exited soon.

I am really impressed with the sound of the JUDD. it really does sound spot on.

Do you have any video or impressions planned for your site?

yes i have some video material, but it will probably be this evening, befor i can post it. Sadly enough my holiday ended wednesday evening ;-) back to work after 3 weeks. it hurts ;-)

Cool, looking forward to it =)

WOW!!!!!! GT5 dopplers are finally uncrowned! Bravo Simbin!!!

just speechless: OMFG!

PLEASE, get us some direct feed! it’s soooo good!

is that Niels driving?

Believe me, the sound engine is very different from ISI, we worked for 3 years to get the best of this new platform. But you’ll find out by yourself in 2 weeks ;)

Sound engine is incredible. Absolutely incredible.

Shoulda gone to SpecSavers.

Does anyone know anything about the monitor mount?

Ok thats awesome, Im glad Im wrong about my initial impressions :) , and even more glad that other than just editing numbers and editing sounds in a current sound engine, that you have actually taken time to develop further the sound engine technology (look how much of an impact it makes in battle field bad company 2 and battlefield 3, sound engine itself, and not just simply the samples, makes a HUGE difference).

So im glad you guys are investing time and money into further developing the sound engine/technology :)

On a further note, is this game (particularily in the physics and/or ffb department) using any rFactor 2 engine :)))))))) ??????

Hey mate. I never seen a hill clib? LOL, actually I saw this very same BMW car in the last days before the tragedy we all know. So… And you are right, what people say here will not chance anything in the final product. Sad. To it looks like sega rally year 2012

ahahah funny guy. maybe you should try before sending others.

did i say ” You never’ … I said ” I you have ever”
and , if so the, you know how fast it is.

I assume by the way you phrased that you work for SimBin? If so, given your implication, can you just straight confirm what we’ll be getting in 2 weeks? A demo, perhaps?

This looks great, BTW, and I say the more the merrier.

P.S. – How will you monetize this? Free to play has to make money somewhere.

I don’t need to.

Well, that truly was short. But, it also looked and sounded fantastic in motion.
If this engine is the basis for GTR3 (which I suspect it is), as long as they can acquire the correct content for GTR3, I think Simbin will please a lot of the long standing fans.

your arrogance amazes me

yes it is. Pitty simbin recycles race over and over again

Then you are easily amazed because right now, I’m just being playful. Maybe take a deep breath before your next reply.
