GTR Xbox 360

Does anyone have any info as to whether or not GTR is going to ever see a release on the 360? The trailer has been on Marketplace for ages, I expected a Spring release but haven't yet seen one. Can't find any info (or haven't looked hard enough) on SimBin or THQ's pages.
Been looking forward to this for ages.

Spring 07 I am sure its due, seems to have taken ages though, did they not announce this at launch?

I thought Spring 07 too. But is it not Spring 07 now? Would there not be some more information coming regarding release dates of upcoming games? I'm not too knowledeable about these things and not too sure where to look.
I'm looking forward to Forza 2 and Dirt, but I've been waiting and waiting for this.

Yeah I guess it is spring, on the Simbin website it just shows the box and some screens and the expected release of Spring 07 and a link to the THQ website but that has no further info either from what I can see.'

edit, teambox has release as 1st September :confused:

Maybe it's just going to get pushed back and back. Hope not.

I can't even find it on a certain competitors website now, so I guess it's another "when it's done" title.

forza 2 scared it off in fear of low sales tbh.

Yeh Dirt and Forza 2, cannot wait for these 2 games! Gonna be amazing! Also Assassins Creed in September! Only games im buy i think, maybe Airbourne and BF: Bad Company aswell.

THQ has confirmed that it will now not be publishing SimBin’s upcoming Xbox 360 title GTR Racing, consumer games portal CVG is reporting.

GTR, a hardcore racing title, has already enjoyed much success on PC, and THQ was due to publish the Xbox 360 version this Spring.

"THQ and SimBin are no longer working together on the GTR Xbox 360 videogame," a THQ spokesperson told CVG. "Our focus within the racing genre is continuing to build THQ's internally developed Stuntman, Juiced and MX franchises."

Whether or not THQ’s decision to walk away from the title will have any implications for its long-term future is currently unknown..

As much as I love the franchise on the PC I'm glad about this because Forza2 would just batter it on the console market.
