You're all lucky I probably will get the PS2 version, otherwise my erratic driving would kick your asses!

Including you, Dave...
 
Head over to codemasters now, 3 new videos are up showing in game footage, forget the demo, this is gold!

Formula Audi Palmer on Adelaide
British GT on Brands Hatch (chevrolet corvette incar cam)
Gemballa on Spa

It does look quite simply astounding, still no damage videos and no prosim either so lets hold on and wait for them.
 
Me too including a whole official confirmed track list.

Only 3 rally stages which is dissappointing and only 3 Kart circuits, but meh, it looks like a nice selection of tracks, including mondello park, bedford autodrome and casttle combe in the UK:D
 
I was really disappointed... the damage isn't even realistic like the old preview pics. The car just gets out of perspective. The graphics look the same too. :grumpy:
 
i ran into a wall (on purpose) 90 degrees into the wall, headfirst. 280km/h with a DTM C-Class.

damage: two front wheels came off, most of front end crushed to the edge of the windshield frame area. of course windshield shatter, but i was expecting a lot more. 280km/h into a wall...it was solid concrete wall...
 
the new pc demo sucks. :(

the graphics are ugly compared to GT legends or any new racing game on PC. Wheel compatibility SUCKS. Handling is DAMN arcadey, much more so than RD2.

hmmph. I hope it's good on ps2, cause I sure as hell am not confident with the pc version after that demo.
 
Mr Deap
Yeah peoples always expect to much from pics...

nah not from pics. from previous instalments. but then again, i only played toca 2 on xbox and playstation, but you'd think the PC version would have a leg up on consoles...

as it stands, Toca 2 on Ps2 with my DFP was more fun. but its only a demo I guess...
 
Just played the console demo.

Holy shiznipple its good, the handling, the damage, the simulation oh its so good! Cant wait for this game!
 
I noticed in the championship screens, there is a special section before the honda section, and its all set in the Bedford Autodrome, single car time trials within the circuit complex, could be quite interesting.
 
Played the pc demo and I am not impressed. If you're used to GTR and GTL then TRD2006 is nothing. Even GT4 is much more to my liking.
 
I played the PC demo today. Seems good, i was a big fan of the previous game and the thing i am most happy about is that it runs great on my PC.
 
Just played the PC demo... and I'm also not impressed. The damage seems almost exactly like on the previous game and so does the physics. Hoping it will be better on the ps2...
 
I have played the demo for the PS2 and driving around Hockenheim in AudDTM is lovely. Graphics and physics have been improved, I felt a touch of excitement when negotiating the corners at high speed. Philips Island in the V8s was equally so and there are plenty more races to try out and this is just a demo disc.......Did I say lovely.

I would agree that the PS2 demo certainly has moved things on from TRD2, the graphics and physics certainly are much better. Also the off-road Baja buddies seem to indicate a much better future for the rally sections (which were bloody awful in TRD2).

The damage (at Pro-sim level) is much, much better. Ran a British GT Mosler into the back of a TVR to see what happened and it was race over, the car was damaged to such an extent that while it would still move (just) it certainly was no use in a race. This is much more like what I have been waiting ofr in damage modelling.

All in all I'm getting quite hopeful for TRD3, the range of racing looks great (British GT championship 👍 ), good track list as always (now with my local circuit - Castle Coombe - hope they get Avon rise and Quarry corner right), good damage and the mad Scots bloke.

Damage modelling looks fine looking at this pic:

Anyone know if its actually gonna feature the Holden Racing Team and Skaife in the V8Supercars series this time or is it going to be left out again?

Can anyone say which demo feels better, PC or PS2?

The PC one ran very slowly on my PC (which is well above the recomended spec), so for me the PS2 version gets the nod.

BTW can't wait for the lawnmower racing (not a joke).

No TRD game has ever looked that good, and the current demo (and the final version - willing to put money on this one) isn't goig to either. At least not on the PS2 and even with a top end PC I still don't think so.

The PC demo ran great for me (the second one did anyway, the first one in the Civic's was poor), great graphics, superbly smooth, average sounds, but it ran great. It was the way the cars handled that I wasn't keen on, it didn't feel a all like a sim, the people that played the PC demo generaly seem to agree but different people are playing the PS2 demo, I awnt to know what the handling is like
 
VIPFREAK
yeah... that looks nothing like the current demo. I don't know why they released a demo if it's nothing like that. :odd:

That's what I was thinking... why realease a new demo with the same old damage physics...
 
In the PS2 demo, the handling is a bit different compared with the previous version. The overall feel is a bit more realistic, the cars have less suspension-travel and bumps feel hard like in a real racecar. But... It feels like you have little control over the car, Good driving means basically, learning the track, the correct lines, and entrypoints and trying to go as fast as possible. The cars (in the demo) don't feel nervous at all and if you go full speed and steer fully to one side it hardly makes any difference as if you should have steered gently or a little. This, I feel is a bit frustrating but I can live with it after getting used to. It also seems that the drivingexperience is a bit different in the way that you have not so much control anymore at what happens to the car. But overall, I still like it very, very much and I will certainly buy it. The replays are also great and have the feel of a real TV broadcast. I also discovered that if you drive alone (with no AI-opponents around you) the camera zooms more in on your car in the replay. Nice touch.
 
Sorry for this stupid question maybe,but granturismo.no has created some track maps. Any chance to get those in a large resolution? That would be kick-ass :)
 
The March issue of OPM is supposed to have a PS2 ToCA3 demo.
(Do you hear that PD! That's a Region 1 demo! D-E-M-O) :ouch:

Confirmed: version 3 will still have only 8 on-line.
They tried for 12, but the poor, old bird can't handle more.

Cheer,

MasterGT
