Race Pro

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't this just a re-hash of RACE 07?

I guess it shares a lot of commonality with RACE 07, and I think this is exactly what people are expecting, a high class simulation.. but there are fears they will dumb it down..
 
I hope they don't dumb it down. Consoles need a decent racing sim. With realistic damage, no boost if you are loosing option, reward good race driving, ban online people who just ram....

GTR Evo is a closer comparison as it has the GT cars as well, although not the Nordschleife I believe (maybe in DLC?), but it's on a different format (i.e. xbox instead of PC), and a new engine, so it's not a rehash for anyone who hasn't played it on PC. Does have a couple of different tracks as well - Laguna and Road America... not that you can't download the same tracks on Race 07 anyway.

Right, there are a whole load of movies (in game) on Xbox Live. Just downloaded and watched the production car one and it looks great. I'm really looking forward to a simulation on a console rather than the slightly more arcady versions!
 
cool, post up a little mini review if you get the chance

really been looking forward to this... hope it isnt pap
 
The eurogamer review is pants, the guy doesn't really come across as 'knowing his stuff' OXM are usually rather dubious and the gamesradar one is a few paragraphs long... Personally I'll wait for the demo and see what one of the better reviewers at IGN have to say. Hopefully someone on a sim forum will give us some decent user feedback.
 
Well my pre-order has now shipped! I've got the bonus car... Should arrive on Friday I hope, so should be some good racing on Friday night :)
 
I joined the racepro forum at atari, the game is getting very mixed views but from what i can read between the good and bad... its very much a sim, theres a few bugs and glitches.

the visuals have been slated but the majority think the physics and handling is very good.

aslong as I can have some quality edge of seat races with ok gfx on my 40" lcd tv then I will be more than happy :)
