GTL

Am I right in thinking this goes on sale in the UK tomorrow (today actually - I'm writing this at a sleepless 4.00 a.m.!)?

Chris Y · 3 Nov 2005, 09:16 (Ref:1451130)

Nope - officially the 4th of November is the UK release date. If you haven't ordered it yet, try http://www.sendit.com - £17.99, and you should receive it tomorrow if you order early enough

Hmmm... I only bought RFactor at the weekend. Can I strectch another? OOOO I'm so tempted!

Kempi · 3 Nov 2005, 15:25 (Ref:1451350)

You really should.

rdjones · 3 Nov 2005, 19:09 (Ref:1451497)

I popped into Game today just for a quick look round and I notice there where several copies of GTL on the shelf, I was tempted....

pirenzo · 4 Nov 2005, 15:14 (Ref:1452121)

Right, I've not really heard much about this game, is it going to be worth the money?
If yes then I might pick it up over the weekend..

Yes. That is if you are a sim racing fan. If TOCA Race Driver is too much of a "sim" for you, it's not the right thing for you to get. It is very accurate in its physics and thus demanding for the casual punter and not worth it without a steering wheel.

It also is pretty power hungry, so you should have a decent machine. The AI is actually worth driving against, even though of course nothing beats online racing.

I can safely say that Pirenzo will detest the game, as it won't give him as much fun as arcade games like GT4, NFS Xuning/Lax Poweder or Toca Fake Drivers......

... not

pirenzo · 4 Nov 2005, 20:07 (Ref:1452336)

LOL. The 'decent computer' bit probably rules me out, that and my wheel/pedals being 125 miles away right now. Sounds like just the ticket for me though

Will investigate tomorrow for sure.

luke · 4 Nov 2005, 21:15 (Ref:1452387)

The graphics look amazing, I'm certainly tempted. Maybe it'll be under my Christmas tree.

luke · 4 Nov 2005, 21:18 (Ref:1452389)

And over 25 variations of real tracks like Imola, Monza, Donington and Mondello Park.

Jeffrey-Lee · 4 Nov 2005, 22:29 (Ref:1452435)

I've got for nearly a month now and still find the thing totally awesome

That Pantera is a BEAST

racer69 · 5 Nov 2005, 01:58 (Ref:1452533)

Have we got period tracks for the cars they have (eg, 1970s Monza say), or do we have old cars on new circuits?

Real liveries/teams, or fictional?

Comes out in AUstralia on November 31.

The ladder is the case. It simulates the Fia GTC-TC, which is a modern racing series for vintage cars. Which also answers the second question: you get real liveries, but in the design they are driven today which need not necessarily still be the vintage livery.

Pirenzo: just noticed the GPL-avatar, should have looked more carefully.

Yeah, you will love it.

**Spudgun** · 5 Nov 2005, 16:26 (Ref:1452853)

I have no willpower whatsoever. I've just got back from purchasing a shiny new copy of GT Legends. I'll let you know how I get on.

gizmo71 · 5 Nov 2005, 21:51 (Ref:1453036)

We ran our first official SimRacing.org.uk fun races for GTL last night and had a blast.

There are a few bugs and wrinkles to be ironed out yet but they're working on a patch so let's hope they sort it out soonly.

pirenzo · 5 Nov 2005, 23:23 (Ref:1453102)

Well, I saw it today, priced £30 in some places and £35 in others. I don't trust the postal delivery system in my halls of residence enough to buy it online so I won't be getting it just yet...

**Spudgun** · 6 Nov 2005, 16:12 (Ref:1453425)

Well, I've had a go and done a couple of the cups. I must say I am impressed. I still only have the lower powered cars but I'm working on it.

I did have a test drive in the AC Cobra and all I can say is wow. So much fun throwing that thing around!

Chris Y · 7 Nov 2005, 13:23 (Ref:1454162)

It is a VERY good game

Naturally, I enjoy racing the Mini

My machine is pretty poor by today's standards. Only an Athlon 1700, 512mb memory, an onboard sound card, and a Radeon 9550, but it plays the game admirably, as long as you're not looking for eye candy.

Mackmot · 7 Nov 2005, 14:59 (Ref:1454255)

I bought it for my dad for christmas but I think I might just open it early.

**Spudgun** · 7 Nov 2005, 20:23 (Ref:1454593)

Well, if anyone at any point wants to try an online mini race let me know. Sounds like fun.

**Aysedasi** · 8 Nov 2005, 13:47 (Ref:1455216)

Looks like I'd better open the wallet then.........

Robin_D · 8 Nov 2005, 15:28 (Ref:1455277)

I ordered from Amazon.de because I was impatient and couldn't wait. I have just unlocked the F275 - GTB/C Wow! The noise!

There are a few mugs and bugs online but once we get the leagues up and running I will be joining one!

I love this game!
