Heh, yea the 360 version is the old GTR, just with all the new cars and tracks added on. Probably wont come out until next year, but the 360 wheel looks pretty useless anyway. :bucky!: But you'll be glad Oban 'cos everything seems to run much smoother in this demo!
After finding sim mode and 3d wheels in the options, I've been flying around a couple of 5 lap sprints with the AI in the Ferrari 575, and I love it! You get the Ferrari and Lambo Murcielago, Barcelona for the track, and Race Weekend and Time Trial modes. The front end menus are so nice! And everything loads incredibly quickly.
It's much easier to find your way around, and everything seems a bit more polished, which should attract people who haven't played GTR before too.
They've improved on a lot of the key elements, like the low speed and tire slip physics. And general race atmosphere is better. I like the pit stops. The game runs so smoothly with maxed out settings its awesome. Runs much smoother than GTL.
Ok well, I'm gonna dive back in, and check out some wet races to see how the frame rate holds up. B)
EDIT: well all i can say is the frame rate didn't hold up
but it was still playable, and the rain effects are so cool. The reflections are nice, and the rain seems to look and sound as though it comes down harder the faster you drive, which is great attention to detail. Love it!
