I want to bump this thread up for everybody who never played this game. GTR2 is still a superb racing simulator. Better and more realistic physics than GT5, (and I love GT5 physics). Better and faster AI (and you can customize it, you can select with a slide how fast you want them and how you want them, the way the race: clean, real, or dirty, and this is a GREAT feature. Now with my last video setting I've found a way to run it at 60fps and it is SUPERB, the way the car handle, the way the brakes react... the tracks, the sound, and yes.. the graphic. No jiggy shadows, no standard cars, no camera tilting in dashboard view, everthing work as it should. The cars grip and suspension feel real, the atmosphere feel real: the safety car, the flag rules, the team radio, box speed limits, the aggressive engines sound, everything we always asked to Poliphony seems to be in GTR2. Strange isn't it? Only thing I feel still better in GT5 is the level of detail of premium cars (when you look at them in the Showroom) because when you watch a replay even with premium cars the ugly shadows comes up. If Poliphony want to inspire themselves and improve thier game they really should give GTR2 a go, and all of you if love sim racing but you are getting a bit tired of all the problems in GT5, or you just curious start considering to buy SimBin's gem. You want be disappointed and you don't need a super computer.
My laptop is a Dual Core Duo P8700, hard disk 500GB, memory 4GB, and a quite weak grapic card still able to run it 1280x1024 at 60fps. I've downloaded logitech drivers for my DFGT.. and magic happens! 👍
