[pc/xb360] Gtr2

[Matra et Alpine]

Got GTR2 and it's almost as good as they hyped.

Graphics are superb, but more on that once new graphics card comes WELL OVERDUE !!!

The updated physics give much more realistic control on throttle steering.
The car also doesnt' feel so much like a brick going over kerbs, it 'feels' like each corner is finally acting differently.

Interesting comment ,J, as it's better than any ( other than RBR ) for tyre "feel" I've tried - including LFS. Sometimes modelling an approximation is enough perhaps

BUT network play still has the problem that it only takes one person with poor latency and the whole thing goes into a spiral of stutters Shame until enough get on GTR2 and easier to pick and chose good and known friends to race with.

AI not perfect as a faster class car will still tend to punt you in the rear if you leave them enough space to take your inside on a corner Minor tho


Well just dropped in to add my thumbs up and if you've waited for it, it's worth it. Might catch you on a track of an evening. Back to making my millions I'm afraid ............. take care.

Ah, Peter Locke stops by for a visit. Long time no see.

Is GTR2 available for seX-BOX 360 yet?

The master is back...

Good to see you back on the forums Peter. GTR2 is a really big step forward. In the past the biggest worry was keeping the car on the black stuff, but the new, more natural feel of the game means that I can worry about the actual racing more. Can't wait to put in my first online race.

So your saying its almost as easy as Grand Turismo?

I thought about getting this for PC, maby I should reconsider it.

I have just got around to buying GTR2.

Partly because I thought my computer wouldn't be able to hack it..

but mainly because it was on sale 2nd-hand for a fiver!

B.A.R.G.A.I.N

it took a lot of .plr file fiddling but it now runs acceptably and although it could (and will someday) look a whole lot better, it still looks better than GTR.

I'm just getting used to the updated driving model but getting there and the new cars in it are superb.

Definitely two thumbs up !

I hate to double post, and I don't know if many people will care but what the hey!

Was driving in GTR2 and had the biggest sideways moment round Blanchimant (sp?) in an MC12. I haven't figured out the replays yet so here's a screen grab collage of it : )

and yes I did recover it somehow
