GTR Series Coming To 360?

27
Kotaku: Certainly looks that way. Swedish developers SimBin - the team behind the super-hardcore, super-awesome GTR racing series for the PC - have announced via press release that they're working on an Xbox 360 game, the title of which will be revealed "soon". Now, while we could keep an open mind about this, and speculate on whether this means they'll be releasing a point-and-click adventure game based on the reign of the Holstein-Gottorp house, we won't. Because all SimBin have ever done is racing games. So we'll instead prepare for the inevitable announcement of a hardcore racing sim for the 360, whether GTR-branded or not.

1.2 - "The first announced game to come out of the deal is a GTR installment for the Xbox 360. "
I honestly(and I'm not exaggerating nor stating this with the intent to be comical),I honestly do not know nor see how a person can read that and call this a rumor update.

A couple of days ago a new SimBin game for Xbox 360 was revealed in Cannes. At first it was thought to be a game from their RACE series, but it turned out it wasn't. Now chances are it's a GTR game that was announced two years ago, but in the mean time dropped by THQ and presumed canceled. That's why it's news, now we know something is still coming.

1.4 - ^ Kotaku are speculating that a GTR game will be announced by SimBin for the 360
Whilst again,it was already announced to be in production and a Press Release was done 2 years ago;

http://www.gamingtarget.com...

THQ in 2007,announced that it would no longer be the Publisher of the game,that was about it.The game was never canceled nor shelved as a result of this,so I would GREATLY be surprised if they were not bringing the GTR game to the Xbox 360.

Two questions: If this is true, why on earth would anyone get Forza again? Isn't GTR meant to be the ultimate simulation racing game?

I hope you know that there are only GTR class cars in this game, no custom paint jobs, no in depth tuning,no engine swaping,no auction house.

GTR beats Forza 2 in only having an in car view.Apart from that Forza destroys GTR in every way.Believe me i have played both.

4 - Being a 360 owner
Honestly I could care less.
I'm happy for other 360 owners that wanna play it but IMO if you played one racing game you've played them all.

Yes I'ved heard this news way back before and am anticipating an XBox 360 release by SimBin whether it be a GTR2 type version or WTCC one.
Hopefully it'll be the best of both.

Also to SimBin - if you can read this article please include the most beautifully designed LeMans concept Mazda Furai ( which actually is only going to remain a concept and will never be raced in the series ).
Will be good to see this concept racer be used in the virtual world.
