GTR roars off Xbox 360 start grid

via CVG

According to our resident racing game expert, developer SimBin's GTR on PC was the finest and most realistic realisation of the motor sport on the platform ever. Rejoice then, ye hardcore racing game fans with an Xbox 360 nestled under the telly, because THQ and SimBin are wheeling GTR onto Microsoft's next-gen console. Vroom, vroom...

GTR is roaring off the 360 start grid courtesy of a multi-title deal thing struck between THQ and SimBin. Not a whole lot has been said about the next-gen GTR yet, but we've been told to expect a game that "sets new standards for racing realism on console". GTR features all the cars, drivers and tracks from two full FIA GT Championships and is directed by professional racing driver and former FIA GT Team Owner, Henrik Roos.

Said Roos about GTR on 360: "SimBin has built a reputation for delivering cutting edge technology, unmatched atmosphere and white-knuckle realism in our racing games. With GTR for Xbox 360 we're developing a title that is not only a truly authentic racing game, but also a challenging, realistic and entertaining game that will be easy to learn but tough to master. In other words - do it for real!"
