GTR Evolution Announced

[Jay]

I have been playing this (soley for Nurburgring really) and frankly I am dissapointed, Nurb is so plain, in some spots quite flat and in the Audi R8 with no assist, very easy. IMO road cars just don't 'right' in it either.

 

[Kryz11]

I just purchase this game over STEAM

FINNALLY

I don't know why I was putting off this game.. I guess GT5P got me sooo busy! As well other cool PS3 and PC games.

I hope this one will keep me busy till X-Mass 09

prepare to play a better game then gt5p noxnoctis... 👍

Oh yeh I hope because more features. better realism.. WELL its a debate if it's more realistc or not.. I never driven 160 MPH on NUR in real life LOL..

I just came back from school.. ima setup my wheel to the PC, install files in order to run G25.. and RACE!!!

Ill post 2morow what I think of the game.. Well I allready play RACE07 few months ago.. So i bet I will have all good things to say!

 

[Kryz11]

Ok. So I got the wheel HOOK up.. Practice. I try to have most realistic settings available. I play with few cars. I am impressed, but at the same time not as much. It has good feel of cars, good sence of speed. Good physics SIM. But When got into STREET CARS.. its really CRAP! They over did the AUDI R8, The viper, etc... I think for Street cars GT5P does a better job of getting real DRIVING, but for race cars GTR evo.. Well GTR evo is still based on old engine. I just can not wait for new GTR3 to come in with new game engine.

But yeh so far I have LOADS of fun with it.. even just doing PRACTICE mode. Pretty reasonable car selection, A LOAD of GOOD tracks, and Really GOOD physics.. but not for the street cars.. I think it will keep me buisy, but for not the whole year

Really worth the money guys. GET IT!


PS
After Playing GT5P Spec III GTR EVO feels SUPER EASY to control... Do you guys experience the same thing?

 

[JosVerstappen]

the street cars are not bad, but not as driftable as gt's cars, GTR does a better job on racing cars....

as for difficulty, the force feedback is much more informative so that helps...

the viper is not easy to control though...

and the racing cars are easier because they are made for racing

 

[Kryz11]

As well graphics. Sure you can support as many cars as you're rig can handle. I have 1440x900, every setting on FULL, I think I always run with around 22-25 cars on a track, which is awesome. BUT, car models looks.. bad, environments.. well They are OK. I am Surprised that there is no PC sim racer to look better then GT5P.

 

[NLxAROSA]

Got this game today via Steam for 26,- euro. A real bargain if you ask me. Sure, the graphics are so-so when compared to GT5P, but it runs very happily on my laptop with everything set to high, so no complaints there. I also got the STCC addition which is very nice. Got the little one running around right now, so I only tested it with keyboard, but I'm going to hook up the G25 tonight to see how it handles. The sound is awesome BTW, much grittier and ear-piercing than GT5P.

Had a little bit of time with this game as well as Race07 yesterday. Purchased from steam for $30 for both. Screamin' deal if you ask me. Anyways, with the resolutions set to 1920x1080, 6x FSAA, and everything set to MAX in the game's graphic's options, the game looks really good, although it could look better IMO. I need to tweek the settings for the G25 to really get a good feel for the game, but my early impressions are good. I haven't search a whole lot, but I haven't found where I can use the H shifter, only shift up/down support. The clutch supports is cool though. Racing was just good fun, lots of seat puckering grins.

but I haven't found where I can use the H shifter, only shift up/down support.

You can set the H shifter up in the control options within Evo. There is a tab where you can chose 1-6th gear. Both the H shifter and the paddles will work at the same time.

Yeah, I saw that and mapped the shifter accordingly but it still doesn't recognize the individual shifter positions. I'll get figured out when I have a bit more time.

Have you selected the option, "Hold For Gear"?

Don't recall seeing that option so I would hazard to guess, no.

 

[McLaren]

Under Control Settings, go to Advanced. It'll be there with a bunch of other Yes/No options.

 

[Pako]

Awesome, I'll check it out.

 

[Joey D]

Got this tonight off of Steam and I'm really enjoying it, especially the MINI Challenge cars. I want to do a skin but I'm a huge n00b when it comes to PC skins, guess I should look around the nets some more.

Tried it. Works great for first and second gear but it just flys into neutral when I try the other gears. Not sure what's going on.

I'll have to go & play with it. I had that same problem when I first got it setup, except it would never go into 3rd or 4th.

Hey guys,

after a while i wanted to hook up at GTR Evo again but what happens now is kinda strange.

I start GTR Evo and everything goes nicely as always but the resolution of the game is 800*600!!!

My own desktop is 1280*1024 and i used to play the game on the exact same resolution, i never changed anything nothing.
Well i have to mention that when playing any racing game i use my HD TV to race.

So what happens now is, whenever i start up the game, the resolution is so messed up, i cant even navigate into the games settings cause the screen is so messy that i cant read anything.

I didnt change any settings of the game what so ever, i cant explain why this just happened out of nowhere. Last time i played it (2 months ago) everything was.

Chris,

If youu change your display driver. the game will revert back to 800x600 (the default) just run the config again and you should be o.k.

good luck.

that is exactly what happened, but the funny thing is, is that i haven't changed any drivers at all since the last time i played...

So i downloaded the latest one for my Geforce and it works again

Anyone actively playing this game online? I just started checking it out and had a blast last night at 1920x1200 with everything cranked to the max. I was heating up my room but it was worth it.

Are there active races I should look for?

 

[Only_in_f1]

Im organising an Evo Sprint league for next month over at a site i race at 👍
