Is the RACE On expansion overpriced?

[Craig Stevenson]

Do you think the Race-On Expansion is overpriced at £18?

I think Bram want to say that the new engine who is coming for Pc it isn't the same of the one on xbox360.

Not really, but once a dev has started a base game with a certain engine you cannot expect that an expansion all of a sudden has a new game engine.

That requires, to stay compatible, that also old expansions will need to be equiped with a new game engine. Don't think a single developer will do that out of missing revenues as a new game engine is a good selling point.

If done correctly, it is possible to upgrade the game engine without making any of the content incompatible.

Graphical improvements are quite easy to achieve since the skin files, etc., are just wrapped around the models and the engine decides how to display them. Adding specular highlights, shadows, bump mapping, etc., does not affect those basic files at all.

I'm hoping we get another expansion or upgrade for the RACE series as I am thoroughly enjoying all the content so far.

It was worth it for me. I paid $35 USD for Race On and GTR Evo together. I did not own Race 07, STCC or WTCC so I pretty much got the whole shooting match or 35 bucks. The STCC cars don't interest me too much but I love the GT Viper, the formula masters is intense and I have been getting into the American series a lot lately which I didn't like at first too much but now that I know how to drive the cars a little better, the muscle cars are a really rich experience.

I'm pretty noob so I need to get into a league so I can maybe learn something from some vets. I don't know hardly squat about car setup either which seems to make a big difference cause even when I think I'm going fast and doing well I am way off the lead time.

The amazing Steam Christmas Sale means the game was really worth it, I hope those of you who do not already have the game managed to catch it then.
