what Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 They should have done another Test Drive Unlimited imo. They were onto a winning formula there. This looks like a cross between GRID and a crap racing simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynnoj Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 My dad really wants this. Is there a demo due? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unimatrix Xero Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 there 'is' a demo due, bth Atari aint flushed with cash atm, so im guessing people will gamble and buy the game expecting it to be a arcade racer (when it isnt) they wont like it, then it will sit in their game collection until they trade it in. i wish for a demo before release but im not pinning my hopes on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Worst. Official Thread. Evar :p But might give it a bash,. SimBin do create nice racing games, they just lack some soul and passion :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal_dragen Veteran Posted February 11, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2009 Looks decent, that's about all I can say. If the video is any indication, then the track and car selection looks pretty thin. The weather effects do add a nice touch however, and overall it looks decent. May look for one of those copies in the used shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah, there isn't much in it. Only 13 tracks (and not even the Nurburgring), and the cars are about as diverse as they are in the Race PC games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted February 11, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2009 It's a touring car game, not GT/Forza. You're not gonna find Ferrari and Lambos here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It's a touring car game, not GT/Forza.You're not gonna find Ferrari and Lambos here. So why are there Koenigsegg's and F3000 racing cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted February 11, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2009 Uhh because the CCGT is a tour car? F3000/BMW are also part of the FIA and career ladder, just like World Touring Car Championship.. Like I said, this is not the GT/Forza series.

Unimatrix Xero Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Race Pro has been delayed until the 20th Feb now and im with DM on this one if you want lambos and other cars then go play forza if you want touring car and GT class cars this is the game for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethos Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Perhaps I should hook up my 360 to my PC monitors again, so I can use the steering wheel properly - Time for some serious racing (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 They should have done another Test Drive Unlimited imo. They were onto a winning formula there. This looks like a cross between GRID and a crap racing simulator. Test Drive Unlimited was awesome :) However, I don't think Race Pro will be that bad, I have Race 07 (and GTR Evolution, which is one of the expansions) which is the PC version and it's pretty awesome. There is a fair amount of detail too, in terms of what you can tweak on the cars. It's like GT/Forza/GRID, but more focused (on Touring Cars). The sound is pretty awesome too, the noise of that Koenigsegg was just wow, I could of raced for hours on end (not caring if I was winning or not) just listening to the engine roar every time I put the (virtual) foot down :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 To further add to what I said, it (well the PC version at least) also offers a lot of options for controls as well. You got the usuals like clutch, gears, lights etc and you can even have engine start as well! (I actually managed to stall my car in the pits at the start of the qualifier, lol that was the last time I went completely hardcore!) I'm not sure how that will translate to the 360 though? I suspect it might get toned down simply because the 360 controller/steering wheel doesn't have enough buttons. Graphics aren't really that great though, they are enough (but it ain't no GT5p/Forza 2) and I'm sure the 360 version will be dolled up a bit as it's a bit dated now. Still what this game lacks in graphics it makes up for in gameplay/immersion/customizability(under the hood) (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
