I have not seen anything on GTR's site about release dates,
and I only find a few German versions for sale on Ebay. Anybody
got info? Thanks.

When will GTR be released in the US?
A US buyer asked about GTR's release; replies said early 2005 was expected and suggested buying the German version on eBay with fan English translation and pit radio patches. German owners called themselves beta testers awaiting a join-lag patch, and posters disagreed over the demo's graphics and physics.
Automated summary.

Early in 05 is the scheduled date. Whether that holds up is anybody's
guess.

UNACCEPTABLE! I want it now. I guess I'll have to
learn to speak German. Thanks for the reply.

Get a copy off Ebay. There are English translation patches and an english
pitradio patch at m4driving.it. This sim is awesome! You don't know what
your missing!

group(german speaking) rather than most ppl(english speaking),maybe to test
the water and see how it was recieved with a smaller release first?

Still waiting for the Join-Lag Patch. If they can work this problem out, its
a great game.

Same thing with RBR.
I guess the european side of the world decided the market wasn't worth it
after what Bush did. ;-)

I hope it's better than the demo.

I think it is. I almost didn't buy it because of the demo.
"JTS" <[email hidden]> wrote in news:[email hidden]:

The demo is either A) an early press release intended NOT for the public
but ...'The Press' That was the version released several months ago.
or B) an arcade demo intended for magazine distribution. The physics from
the first demo were already 2 generations old by the time that was
released.
The magazine demo did not even include the simulation level. So far the
biggest complaint I have heard is the lag incurred when a new player joins
in mulitplayer...a problem that has been with ISI based sims since 2000. I
find it a little odd that so many people seem taken aback by that lag since
it has been known for years. ISI with it's newest version of the Motor
engine have overcome the join-lag by introducing a pretextured car. It
would seem logical that SBDT will be able to incorparate that feature in
their v1 of Motor in GTR.
That being said...(to the original naysayer in this thread)what was in
the demo that so disillusioned you?

Lousy graphics, sound, mediocre physics engine...

Yep, one of those words that looks a bit weird for some reason!

ok, compared to the glitzy Need for Speed type engines it might look
mousey. And the sound? They supposedly sampled each and every engine
while at the tracks. Compared to F1c, that should be a positive, so I
guess compared to some of the add-on soundpacks for Nr2k3 it might sound
lightweight. And physics...we covered that...the real sim, although I
don't have it yet, (not a German) should have at least updated physics.
If, however, you don't like the feel of ISI stuff, then even the full
product may not be to your liking. Have you tried the Rfactor multiplayer
demo? If so, how does that compare with your impression of the GTR demo?

I almost didn't buy it because of the demo.I wasn't impressed with NFS (the version b4 Underground). It was a game
I played when I wanted to good laugh. I'm not being condescending, I
feel the same way about Midnight Club 2. It's a silly game, but fun.
I was mostly disappointed with the graphics in the GTR demo -- they
seemed to be from technology 4 years ago. Perhaps the full version has
better looks. I still haven't seen a racing sim that matches the
graphics of N2003.
I haven't tried Rfactor. I'll have to give it a go.

Well, GTR is a fair bit better than N2003 in the graphics department. One
thing that people often forget to do is to set texture detail to 'full'
instead of just 'high' - the textures look a bit crappy on 'high' but on
'full' they're the most detailed textures I've ever seen in a game. The 3D
modelling in GTR is world class too. The only drawback is that the lighting
isn't as advanced as something like TRD2 but it's still on a par with N2003
in that department.

Yep. I just installed the press demo and the first thing that hit me was
how good the graphics were. Sounds seemed pretty good too - maybe a bit
tinny.
