Passo: not that I'm aware of, although a bunch of guys have combined it with Team Fortress to make it multiplayer. Youtube "Team Portress" for a video.

Quote from TheAdmiester :Don't all copies of GTRE include Race07? I've yet to see one that hasn't got the little banner at the top of the box stating that.

I bought the DVD version of GTR Evo; it had the banner saying Race07 was included when in reality all that meant was I was able to (and had to) download Race07 off Steam free of charge.

Quote from squidhead :Ehm... I take it you two need to get a separate thread. The one that gives out BJ's to LFS and bashes on any other game that's trying to get close to being realistic

Why me? I'm not the one that said Evo is a pile of tripe...

Quote from The Moose :<"GTRE is shit" post>

I take it you presumed Evo was a sim. If you treat Evo as an arcade racer, it's actually rather good.

Quote from danowat :Any hint at a release date yet?

Reports suggest September-ish. Although this is PD, so it's probably more like December. lol

Quote from PaulC2K :Until they make an official statement, then i'll take it with a pinch of salt.

Agreed. So many people are making claims about what is and isn't in the game that the only info that you should believe is that from PD itself, but Kaz is being tight-lipped as per usual. Until Kaz says "this and that are in, this isn't", it's all speculation and should, as you say, be taken with a pinch of salt.

Quote from Boris Lozac :So five years for a racing game that has 1000 highly detailed cars and tracks, is forever.. but 10 years for SC2, 5 years for GTA IV, etc.. isn't..

Not to mention GT3 came out early/mid 2001 and 4 late 2004/early 2005, which is nearly four years. Five years for the move to a next-gen console is perfectly reasonable.

For reference, the NA release dates of GTs 1, 2, 3 and 4:
GT1 May 12, 1998
GT2 Dec 23, 1999 (~ 1.5 yr)
GT3 July 10, 2001 (~ 1.5 yr)
GT4 Feb 22, 2005 (~ 3.5 yr)

One of the main reasons GT3 was released that shortly after 2 is that it has a fifth of the cars. Had PD upgraded everything in GT2 (meaning 800 cars instead of 150-odd), GT3 wouldn't have been released until late 2002/early 2003 at the earliest. With that in mind, I have no problem with a 2010/Q1 2011 (Jan-March) release date for 5 as making the transition from PS2 to PS3 while adding in more vehicles and tracks as well as other goodies such as damage, weather (we hope), interior view isn't something you can do in two weeks.


Could be worse, be grateful this isn't Half-Life 2 EP3 we're talking about...

Quote from brandons48 :Oh boo hoo.

Nissan Skyline R35

Nissan GTR

Same shit different bucket.

Agreed. It's a Skyline underneath, regardless of what the badge tries to tell you, so Skyline R35 == R35 GT-R

The three-wheeled one? As far as I'm aware, that car (well, thing) *cannot* complete a lap of the 'Ring. I think the four-wheeled one can, but only just.

April 29 is the best estimate at the moment - MS had a guaranteed 30-day exclusive period, which puts the PS3 release date at April 29.

Indeed. Most real-life tracks will have just the one layout - maybe two or three at the most - which means that for the 20 tracks, 70 variations theory to be correct some tracks would have to have 8 or more variants. Which is a lot.

I personally think it's referring to 20 real-world circuits and 70 fictional tracks, with the 70 including long/short layouts [Grand Valley Speedway/GVE for example] but not forward/reverse setups (because they're not actually a different circuit, merely an existing one run the wrong way).

Quote from MAGGOT :Who is Justin Bieber, and why is she worse than Taylor Swift? Who the hell is Taylor Swift, for that matter?

Justine Beaver - bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... ynext_from=PL&index=1
Taylor Swift - good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xg3vE8Ie_E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptSjNWnzpjg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuNIsY6JdUw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlTfYj7q5gQ

How can you not know who Taylor Swift is, she gave us the Kanye "Imma let you finish" meme...!

Quote from Senninha25 :I'm a frequent twitter user and I can't stand seeing Justin Bieber on the trending topics...

Tell me about it... why the hell is he so popular? He's a 16 year-old kid that looks and sounds like he's half that age and his music sucks. (a clone of Miley Cyrus then. ha)

Quote from Stefani24 :Taylor Swift is that hawt girl who can at least decently sing (Töki's Avatar, for that Matter).

I like you.

squid: I agree. I never played HL1, but I still managed to follow the HL2 storyline perfectly. The game (HL2) was tremendously enjoyable and it is - personally - one of the (if not THE) greatest videogames of all time.

Comments like that ("HL2... was a letdown") make me wonder if you even played the game and its expansion episodes from start to finish.

They're called fanboys, you should know that by now

Before someone accuses me of being a PS/GT fanboy, I enjoy PC gaming as much as the next guy. On my computer (laptop, heh) I have GTR (2 & Evo, + RACE07)/rFactor/LFS as well as Half-Life 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike - and I enjoy playing them all. Same goes for the likes of GT1/2/3/4/5P, MW2, GTA4, Burnout (3 was legendary), Tekken 3/6 to name but a few on the Playstation.

Proclaiming one form of gaming (ie console vs PC) is better than the other just makes you out to be an idiot. If you were smart you'd realise that each system has its own advantages and disadvantages, and as such no system is "better" than the other.
