GTR 3

[James Johnson]

Box just because it means that if i do lose my steam account i've still got the game.

 

[Senad Subasic]

I practically never bought games before Steam. It's simple, it's convenient. When I want to buy something, I check there first.

Boxed version:
That means I have the game, even if I won't have a net connection or somebody steals my account, or Steam goes down, etc. + it looks fine on the bookshelf, it has a printed manual, and it feels good to take those CD/DVD-s in my hands! And I can install it a lot faster as I have a 4Mb connection only, so downloading a game on Steam can take a lot of time.
+ nowadays Steam is a lot more expensive than our shops. (when I bought GTR Evo it was the other way, but this year I bought Race On full version cheaper from a shop than the expansion was on Steam)

 

[Tim Meuris]

definitely boxed version.
I swear by it.

 

[David Wright]

In the past Steam release of Simbin titles has lagged release of the boxed game. I think I'll buy whichever is available first.

Apparently in the US, digital sales now account for half of PC game sales.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Kind of on the fence at the moment. It all depends on whether SimBin/Atari will distribute the boxed game in Australia or not.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Is Atari the publisher again?

 

[Ross Balfour]

Steam - instant play and no hassle on hunting it down in stores or waiting for the delivery time.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

Is Atari the publisher again?

No idea... I'm just going by who published earlier games.

 

[Mike Chaney]

I always buy boxed if possible, there is something about having it in your hands that just feels better.

 

[Mike Bell]

nother few ideas
- tyre barriers that act liek real [tyres fly everywhere when u hit em]
- car damage more realistic
- when a car get damaged the stuff stays where it is
- when a car gets koed if its dangerous th saefty car comes out and marshals move the car to a safer position
- oil on the track
- mud and gravel shift if you go off track
- f1 style qually as an option
- water [rivers] that you might fall in
- more weather options
- more car classes as default [take the most popular gtr mods and put em in the game as base cars]

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

I prefer a boxed version because i think is more secure than a steam account.

 

[Philip Antonia]

I'll buy boxed as long as they're made. I like to have my collection on the shelf.

I'm perfectly happy using steam for the game itself and it's auto updating etc, but I hate paying for a virtual product!!

Silly I know

 

[Philip Antonia]

One thing I really hope to see is improved crash physics. I hate seeing cars being tossed around and flying unrealistically through the air

Eveything mentioned above is why id always get the boxed version

 

[Shakurazz]

Whichever is the cheapest

 

[Pieter Theron]

Steam for me...Only had 1 issue with Steam since I've started using it. They also seems to have change the load it placed on resources in the past..Thumbs up for me

You can play any game on Steam while being offline. Just turn on 'offline mode'.

 

[Senad Subasic]

If somebody manages to steal your account, you shouldn't be using computers anyway . Happened to a friend of mine, but he got it back in a day or two. You have the receipts for your games, no problem in getting it back.
I don't think it's possible for Steam to go down. At least the game repositories. But if it somehow does, I'm sure there will be plenty of time do download and archive all of your games.

On the plus side, convenience, easy installs, automatic updates, large communities, zero plastic waste.
I have some games on CDs and DVDs, and they were fun to look at for the first half hour. Now they just occupy space and collect dust. And the mediums won't last forever.

I like the way the RACE series was done, boxed copy but installed into Steam. I like having boxes for some games
