I honestly don't like compromises and SimBim always on the Sim side in my head. Hmmmm
I understand the worries, at the same time I understand the company needs to make money to pay the bills and return profits to the investors. I think the only way to achieve what the sim community wants and what the casual gamer appreciates is to have the core sim aimed to sim racers and a bunch of highly effective and adjustable assistance systems.I worried about that too, but when I pushed them on the subject I got the impression that those of us looking for a realistic experience need not be worried. All the good serious stuff will be in, with options to make it more user friendly possible to turn on and off. I'll not go into the conversation we had here, but I finished the chat with a contented feeling that it will be suitably "hard-core" enough to satisfy those wanting that kind of experience.
At the end of the day time will tell I suppose
The best way to put it is neither side will be forgotten.
GTR 3 will contain day to night transition, allowing for fully scalable 24 hour time of day conditions as well as a fully dynamic weather system, bringing with it changing handling in the different conditions, aquaplaning and dynamic water movement that will allow rain to pool organically on the racing surface and dissipate as cars travel through the standing water.
It has been confirmed that the class leading sounds from R3E will be making an appearance in GTR 3
I guess that makes me high then! Seriously, this can only be good news for simracers and casual drivers alike.today's news can only be seen as a shot in the arm for our beautiful sim racing hobby.
