Title: GTR's 5th birthday Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on November 03, 2009, 07:42:31 AM +0000 Yep, 5 years ago today, GTR was released in Germany - I guess there are still quite a few people here who bought those early German copies from Amazon.de and similar. So happy 5th birthday GTR!

Title: Re: GTR's 5th birthday Post by: Jimmie on November 03, 2009, 12:38:12 PM +0000 I remember trying that game (having only done some NFS with a wheel in the past) and gave up trying after a couple of laps :laugh:
Then a year later or so bought GT Legends for a cheap price and learned simracing. Nonetheless it was a short live up with GTR, GT Legends and GTR2, cause Race 07 introduced the downfall and I'm always hoping some next big fun comes, but I'll guess that'll never happen... (and GTR2 is still lovely!) Title: Re: GTR's 5th birthday Post by: spanner on November 03, 2009, 06:43:36 PM +0000 Thats strange, i thought GTR2 came out in 2005.
Title: Re: GTR's 5th birthday Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on November 03, 2009, 06:49:58 PM +0000 Thats strange, i thought GTR2 came out in 2005. The worldwide release was in 2005, but many of us bought a German copy in 2004. Title: Re: GTR's 5th birthday Post by: ginsters sponsored on November 03, 2009, 09:28:31 PM +0000 I remember the day well. Young, fresh faced and receding just a little I skipped down to the Post Office for my suspicious German package. Best 30 notes I've ever spent and it still keeps giving (I vaguely remember moaning that it wasn't as good as GTR1 though).
To be honest, I thought you were talking about GTR 1 and I was gonna suggest a race in that to celebrate :) Title: Re: GTR's 5th birthday Post by: Simon Gymer on November 03, 2009, 09:44:39 PM +0000 He is talking about GTR 1! :P

It was so rewarding that game! Title: Re: GTR's 5th birthday Post by: ginsters sponsored on November 03, 2009, 09:53:13 PM +0000 Thats strange, i thought GTR2 came out in 2005.

I'm gonna re-install GTR1 and wallow in nostalgia anyways :) Title: Re: GTR's 5th birthday Post by: Paul968 on November 04, 2009, 12:56:19 AM +0000 GTR 1 was a real challenge, but the physics were wrong when on the power - way too easy to spin the car with absolutely no warning.

I still have my original German GTR 1 disc, and the e-mail from amazon.de when they dispatched it. Quote from: amazon.de - 10/11/2004 1 "GTR - FIA GT Racing Game" Computerspiel; EUR 45,57 |
