No details yet, developer confirmed it yesterday at an expo:

All that was said was:

This year will be an important year. They launch GTR Evolution this summer and this autumn there will be STCC and the company's premiere on Xbox 360. The name of the game is not decided, all Roos says is "Race something".

STCC = Swedish Touring Car Championship

We will have to wait until 2010 before we get any totally new games from the company. - Yes, at that time we will develop games simultaneously on PC, X360 and Playstation 3, says Henrik Roos

Here are screens from the "old" game, GTR, announced in 2006 running on X360:



That one was probably cancelled though, as the new game is based on RACE it seems. Here's the GAF thread about the PC Race 07 demo.

[Kafel]

OMG YES !

[Zezboob]

Finally !

[mabuza]

read it as sinbin.

[Paracelsus]

PS3 2010

GT5 will be out by then, so I could not care less about this one.

[hadareud]

GT5 will be out by then, so I could care less about this one.

cool

[Leonsito]

At least a truly racing simulator on consoles.

[Wax Free Vanilla]

i don't like gtr - when is rfactor going up on psn?

[AAK]

GT5 will be out by then, so I could care less about this one.

Nah, they'll probably end up delaying it to 2011 or 2012.

[Uncle]

GT5 will be out by then, so I could care less about this one.

How much less to be exact?

[Paracelsus]

How much less to be exact?

Less to the point it can stay on the store shelf for like, forever.

[Sho_Nuff82]

GT5 will be out by then, so I could care less about this one.

So no one should bother making racing games for PS3 after 2009?

[Agent Icebeezy]

Cool!

[Ryuuga]

GT5 will be out by then, so I could care less about this one.

Really?

[Jtyettis]

Heck yes, finally.

[acm2000]

GT5 will be out by then, so I could care less about this one.

so this ps3 game of theirs, coming out a year after gt5, is irrelevant? wow, thats some epic stubborn fanboyness

[Paracelsus]

Really?

Typo. Sorry.

so this ps3 game of theirs, coming out a year after gt5, is irrelevant? wow, thats some epic stubborn fanboyness

Not at all, it's just that I get two, max three racing games for each gen. GT5, FM3 and I still have to get PGR4. Guess there's no space left.

why the hell limit yourself? if its good, get it, enjoy it, simple

I'm guessing as this was for a Swedish website, other Countries will get localised Touring Cars as well, if that extends to us Brits getting the BTCC I will be totally amazed, and happy as hell.

Oh, for the record, Simbin are one of the finest racing devs out there, and their Touring Car pedigree (As proven by RACE:WTCC and 2007) is second to none at the moment, this certainly takes the sting out of my eyes after the debacle that is RD:GRID, good stuff.

[diffusionx]

Too bad its not coming out for PS3, I have a G25 and would totally support Simbin but I will not buy that garbage MS wheel. I have GTR2 on the PC though ($10 from BB), guess that'll have to be enough for now.

[DC R1D3R]

Fuck yeah!

I've been patiently waiting for this.

[cjelly]

The driving simulator to end all driving simulators.

The campaign for 60fps starts here.

[SealSqueal]

I have wishing for these devs to bring it to consoles. Hot damn!

[godhandiscen]

Typo. Sorry. Not at all, it's just that I get two, max three racing games for each gen. GT5, FM3 and I still have to get PGR4. Guess there's no space left.

Thats a pretty good logic.

[GHG]

GT5 will be out by then, so I could care less about this one.

Oh man...

Simbin games are twice the sim that GT games have ever been.

[Paracelsus]

Thats a pretty good logic.

I don't play many racing games anyway. If you need more, good for you.

Oh man... Simbin games are twice the sim that GT games have ever been.

So is FM2, and so will be FM3. And?

[skybaby]

Oh man... Simbin games are twice the sim that GT games have ever been.

Oh no what have you done. I can hear the brigade stomping out of the Grid vs GT5p thread into this one.

[Joe211]

Oh man... Simbin games are twice the sim that GT games have ever been.

BS

[acm2000]

Oh man... Simbin games are twice the sim that GT games have ever been.

[tehbear]

No G25 or better support, don't care. Not dealing with that pos MS Wheel for something of simbin's quality.

[Bidermaier]

RACE 07 is a really good game. It is not a pure simulator like LFS but the car physics are way better and more realistic than titles like GRID, GT5 and FM2

[FabCam]

So no one should bother making racing games for PS3 after 2009?

Sounds about right.

[Negaiido]

Wow development of the PS3 version takes 2 years? :o

[brunoa76]

The driving simulator to end all driving simulators.

Better wait for Ferrari Project by Blimey (the real developpers of GTR2 PC).

[BCD2]

Great news. I had kind of relegated the 360 title to vaporware.

[Dibbz]

so this ps3 game of theirs, coming out a year after gt5, is irrelevant? wow, thats some epic stubborn fanboyness

if it's anything like this



then yeah I'll pass :/

[AndyD]

if it's anything like this then yeah I'll pass :/

What game is that?

RACE are usually good, we will see how this turns out.
