RACE Pro (Xbox 360)

[Matt Emmens]

Sorry to 'bump' and old thread but i can't find anyone online so if anyone wants a race my gamrtag is BTCCGUY

You'd be better off joining a league for online play.

All good ! .I had bought this game over two years ago and packed it away with a bunch of 360 games i don't play. I recently i dug it out and Bam! i didn't realize it was a Simbin title. It's out now with my Forza 4! It's a pretty game IMO. I don't have XBL yet. Hoping to get that for Xmas from my gf

 

[Travis]

Glad to read you like the Race Pro experience.

You'll want XBL access (even just the standard mambership) to download the patches Atari released as they are vital in fixing many of the bugs the game shipped with. QA testing doesn't appear to be a focus for Atari's most racing/driving games.

The DLC packs make RP even closer to its PC counterpart but they are a little pricey.

Jus been shopping and seen this game pre owned, are there still people playing, im big on my forza does this come close or better?

 

[Ivo Simons]

Its more realistic then Forza. But dont expect any big fancy excotic cars that you are used to in Forza.
But more real race cars. About the online stuff i dont know really. But dont think its big anymore. Was already not very busy when it came out 2 years ago.

 

[Chris Bell]

Thanks Ivo, that was my worry that it may not be as popular anymore, I jus saw it was a simbin product and not having a pc to try their other stuff out I was just curious

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

Chris, even though online play is scarce it's still a pretty cool game to have. If the price is right, grab it!

 

[Travis]

There is at least one UK based league running Race Pro You'll need to visit SimBin's RaceRoom forum for the specific details as the fellow doesn't post here. Tell him Race Department sent you!

And FWIW, I think Race Pro kills Forza 4 in the most vital area - physics.

Still waiting on the demo

 

[Travis]

Haha Bram. I thought you were a PS3 only owner, so a demo t wouldn't do you any good

I can send you the OXM disc that had the demo on it if you like.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Was just kidding, but the multiple times announced demo and eventually not delivering was one of the things that didnt go well with RP.

Its a nice sim for the consoles but failed already after the first week of release due to the bad critics on the web, no marketing and lots of bugs that should have been found before release by either Simbin or Atari.

No desire of playing it as its exactly the same as RACE 07 on the pc which I have played long enough now

 

[Chris Bell]

It was only a Tenner so its not the biggest risk ive ever taken, thanks guys, will see if i can track it down again!!

I knew you were joking Bram; perhaps I should have added a smiley face.

Funny you mention Race '07 as I had been buying new copies of SimBin games (GTR2, GTL, Race, GTR Evo) from eBay before I got myself a new PC earlier this year & with the G27 I now own (thanks Santa), it's like playing Race Pro all over again but with way better graphics.

Hope you enjoy RP Chris. The DLC is pretty good too, if a little pricey.

So is there actually anyone at their that still plays Race Pro?

Me and a couple of guys in the xbox F1 2011 league play it on Mondays so maybe we could get a small club event going?

 

[Andi Goodwin]

Count me in Dylan

 

[David O'Reilly]

Ill whack this one in here for now. If it grows we may get Bram to put one in the main forums page?
Or maybe if we put it there it will become more poular?
