RaceRoom Racing Experience Announced by SimBin

[Bram Hengeveld]

Finally SimBin has made an end to the speculations about their mysterious upcoming game as they have now revealed some more details including the format and name of their upcoming title. As expected after Simbin's marketing director confirmed that we haven't seen any GTR 3 screenshots until today. This is what the press release stated:

Game developer SimBin Studios AB and publisher RaceRoom Entertainment AG are proud to announce RaceRoom Racing Experience™, a new Free 2 Race concept, soon to be released.


RaceRoom Racing Experience combines traditional game play with a brand new community portal, all connected and seamlessly built into one platform making it More Than a Game™.

RaceRoom Racing Experience is a Free 2 Race concept where a high end racing game is provided for free. The concept offers the opportunity to purchase additional content, thus allowing every user to build the game of their dreams.

RaceRoom Racing Experience™ will be presented at GamesCom in SimBin’s exhibition booth, hosted by publisher RaceRoom Entertainment AG, found in hall 8.1, booth 030. Eight simulators will be hosted onsite for GamesCom attendees to get a first look at the new concept. Leading staff from SimBin will be available onsite to answer questions and provide walkthroughs for drop in as well as booked guests and media.​

What do our readers think? Will we ever see a GTR 3?

Will have to wait and see, not very great looking though...

I'm not waiting for another Raceroom, I want a new GTR with the new engine as promised.

 

[Shawdad]

interesting...

 

[ufunacaoenn]

Sorry but I am growing tired of all those promises and annoncements, I want to see some results from Simbin.

 

[Philip Antonia]

Hmmmm!! Will have to see what this.

 

[Philip Antonia]

Really was hoping to hear about GTR3, but we may still get some info during Gamescon on that!!

This might be worth while though .

 

[Boby Kim]

Aiaiai...this is not good...not good at all

Purchase additional content? No way. If it were proper DLC, then yes.. but I'm not paying for bits and pieces to get a full game together. It's a horrible way to get us to pay more money for a single game, just like the pay-for-content system that iRacing uses. I find it absolutely disgusting. I'll skip this and wait for GTR3 to be released. In the meantime I'll switch to rFactor 2, that's at least looking very promising.

 

[Jonas Lex]

Im just confused.
So far Ive not seen a free to play game where it wasnt the case that whoever pays the most is most competetive, thats the usual concept of free to play games.
It doesnt have to be the case here as well of course, but if so, that would be a big disappointment.
Lets wait and see

SIMBIN REVEALS MORE THAN A GAME AT GAMESCOM

 

[Philip Johansson]

Looks like a copy of Iracing

 

[Matt Horst]

A day late and a dollar short.Not sure i will even be interested in GTR3 if it ever does come out.To much other good stuff coming out so you loose SimBin.

 

[Kenny Paton]

Sounds kinda Simraceway like. Which I find fun.

 

[Kenny Paton]

Looks like a copy of Iracing

Is it not more like Simraceway?

 

[Rupe Wilson]

I cant wait to see this, good or bad i still want to see it ,
If its using then new game engine even better, lets not forget we are all very happy with GSC and this is not the next gen of game engine ... just very talented people..
...At least its some news.....
With the recent pics from AC and the possible combo with great physics may make anything SimBin will produce look tame in comparison... i hope not as i am a avid SimBin fan....

 

[Travis]

I'm always happy to read a new game announcement by SimBin but it's a 'wait and see' from me too. Need more details on the DLC and its cost but happy to download the base version.

Hopefully concrete information about GTR 3 will appear sometime soon too.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Hopefully concrete information about GTR 3 will appear sometime soon too.

Will do my best to see if we can get some direct info from SimBin on GTR3 during the GamesCom next week.

If it's the old gmotor2 than I don't need a new RaceRoom, I can build my own game with GTR2 and Race07
