GTR 2: FIA Racing Game2 -SCREENS links

[Vespyrus]

I'm not sure when it came out, but it's sort of an unknown publisher, and developer, so it may have not been heard of by many. In the US, I don't think it's been out as long as other countries possibly.

I'd give it a 9.5 or 10. I mean it's the best and most realistic racing game I've ever played, but it doesn't have the million dollar EA or MS or Sony type feel to it.. It's got plenty of cars and tracks, I guess my only complaint is that some of the backgrounds of the tracks is a little bland. Like a building has no texture or something. If you know what I mean.

You can unlock cars and lots of tracks, and these are real cars - the cars come race spec, there are no turd econo boxes to hook up.

I picked it up for $19.99 at Circuit City.

One of my favorite aspects is that the cars are set up for the tracks already. Gear ratios and stuff, so you can just jump right in. The game is realistic and very challenging. Prepare to spend a 20 hours of gameplay trying to learn to get those extra couple seconds on the license tests style driving school.. and such.

The audio/video customization options are fantastic. You really can adjust just about anything about the game.

Screenshots don't do the game justice though, it must be felt and played and heard. Real race car sounds get me really excited. :naughty: j/k

Look here at this quick link, tell me what you think.

January 12, 2006 - The first two screenshots of GTR2:
With the release of "GTR - FIA GT Racing Game", Developer SimBin Development Team and Publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS AG caused a sensation. Up to that point, there had never been a racing simulation based on a racing series which was accurate down to the last detail as the numerous top ratings and awards for "GTR - FIA GT Racing Game" so impressively demonstrated.
Come summer 2006, GTR 2 will set new standards all over again! The new DirectX9 graphics engine ensures that the race cars and circuits are portrayed in a more detailed and photorealistic way than ever before, and the sensation of speed experienced with the HP-beasts is even more immersive, thanks to the improved driving model.

The dynamic day-night light cycle, weather changes, and impressive damage system once again provides an impressive experience of the exciting FIA GT racing series on your PC at home.

Not ALL that unknown, but a pretty damned good game, raced this alot when I had my Logitech G25, and the guys at SimBin are very nice, they're swedish and I've encountered them a few times(I work at the main office for one of Swedens most popular gaming stores)

It's a shame I had to sell my PC Racing Wheel due to monetary issues.

I saw a logitec wireless force-feedback Xbox 360 racing wheel and pedals at Gamstop (U.S.) here for $79.99, but I might just get the official 360 one, and the wireless PC kit for $19.99. Oh, if I was filthy rich.. *sigh*

Excellent Game IMHO. Simulation all the way, but .. it's driving a race car.. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Do you still own the game?

I haven't had internet for a while, and I just finally got a chance to check to see if any mods were being made for this game.

You can get to screenshot links from there too.


They ripped Codemasters (Race Driver, etc.) tracks I think, but changed all the assets (textures, sounds) The latest track was uploaded only a couple of weeks ago, so there is probably more tracks in the works.

You can race on or offline, and there are also the V8 Supercars, I downloaded that too. I downloaded all of them, so I'm going to try them and see how they are.

BTW you don't need a steering wheel if you have an analog stick.

 

[Gargantou]

Pfft, an analog stick isn't even CLOSE to the same feeling as a steernig wheel, btw, it was a LONG time since I saw you post here VirusType2

You underestimate the power of the dark sid.. er I mean analog joypads.

Are steering wheels really that good? I've wanted one for like 20 years, but never even got to try one. N ever.

My brother has Race Drivin' (arcade game) with the force feedback wheel and steel pedals and stuff. It rools. I liked Datona USA, with the 4 speed gear shifter. Good stuff.

Hey, maybe you can go to the hardware store and pickup an appropriate sized spring for your brake pedal. I do shit like that all the time.

I'd have to see the underside of it to tell you if that would be easy or a 'pain in the ass - not worth it' job. Might need 2 sets of nuts and bolts (short so they don't poke out of the pedal much)with washers and a drill. If you can get seated nuts (screws), thats even better. Seated so they are embedded in the plastic instead of protruding.


It has been a LONG time. We are still alive. I trust you are well.

I still don't smoke and I feel so much better. I quit like 10 months ago. That was one of my last posts here, describing the difficulty of quitting in the off-topic chat.

rFactor nurburgring nordschleife in a ferrari f430 and a force feedback wheel = f***ing win.

GTR2 = not bad.

Those user made tracks above are really nice to have, but the tracks that come with GTR2 are much better.

I heard there were buggy cars that team made, they jump and stuff.

I've been using the Corvette, Lamborghini, BMW, TSR, and sometimes a Ferrari, for the most part.

The Ferrari's are too finniky. You have to really apply the throttle evenly at all times or the rear tires light up and it's really easy to put it into a spin.

The Corvette and Lamborghini are probably the best cars in the game, at least out of the ones I've unlocked. Awesome Power, incredible grip, immaculate Handling, and outstanding brakes - not to mention they frikin' scream.


You have a X360 wheel, right? Did you hook it up to your PC? Did you try GTR2 with it?

 

[Gargantou]

I hooked up my 360 wheel via the MS Wireless Gaming kit(that lets you connect any 360 wireless controller etc to your PC), it's okay with GTR2 BUT, for some reason it doesn't appear to support Force Feedback in ANY of the games I have used it with, GPL, GP4, GTR2, Race the Official WTCC Game.

And it's a bit of a downside how limited the turnangle is.
