What is the least expensive package that gets us all of the content?

$25?

Yes.

25€ I think which is about 32cdn if I remember correctly.

Have you had more time to play, GT11?

[MasterGT]

25 € = (Team Member) Access to exclusive car(s)
100 € = (Senior Member) Access to exclusive track(s)

So have there been any exclusive tracks released yet?

Not that I know of.

No, not yet.  I've been trying out a few games on my computer.  Dirt 3 (came with my power supply), Dirt Showdown (came with my video card) and test driving iRacing.  I also got sleeping dogs with my video card but I haven't tried that.  I'll try pcars again this weekend.

There are some exclusive tracks in there, at least there were when I checked a while back.  I only have the 10E pack and remember seeing a handful of tracks that were unavailable to me at the time, not sure if it was a specific car / track or game mode combo or what but I do remember something that was off limits .

Of course that may have changed, but I haven't bothered logging in to check since my PC won't run it.. yet.. might end up dropping a little more RAM and a better video card in it in the next couple of months if I can find compatible parts for a 4 year old system that have compatible prices with my wallet.

Not positive, but I think MasterGT meant exclusive tracks with the 100 € pack.  It's the first pack that says it comes with exclusive tracks...

I put some more time into this last night.  Testing out different games on a triple monitor setup.  The default view under triple screens is too narrow but performs pretty well.  You can customize the field of view pretty easily but performance suffers with a wider field of view.  This is understandable considering that they haven't worked on implemented triple screens yet.  Overall it was pretty impressive though it is obvious that they have a lot of work left in front of them.

Yup.

This was reason #1 we looked into Race 07.

True, full featured multiplayer is a long way off for pCARS.

Bingo!

not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread... so please forgive.

will the console versions be able to play online w/ the PC version?

I think that is a serious problem if they can't, because our little family here would be split in two.  I hope that doesn't happen.

Not gonna happen.  I assume the protocols are entirely different.  Plus, the PC version is getting a more robust tire model so it they wouldn't be comparable/compatible anyway.

Not sure what the others will do, but I plan to get both ps3 and pc versions. 

[EX_stream_tuna]

hmm... I was just hoping they were developing them to work together, but I understand why tht would be a huge challenge.

I guess I see a racing game, thanks to GT, as being a hub for a community as well as just a place where some people go to race.  The "community" is going to be much different in one version vs the other I think.

And community is one of the best aspects of racing, so hopefully there's a good way to keep everyone together.

we won't know until both are out, whether we could run a community Time Trial leaderboard  and have the times be comparable for the same person.  I guess if you have two versions, you'd be the test subject!

Change is good, but scary too!

I think there will always be lots people not willing to jump through the hoops of PC gaming. I currently have no patience - or funds - for it. Regardless of how the quality compares, I doubt I'd move away from consoles for gaming. I'll likely be running a Sony system until a noticeably better console is available.

I'm a former PC gamer. I enjoyed building PC's and tweaking the system for maximum performance. I could not do or afford both PC and Console so I made my choice with a PS3. I purchased my PS3 4 years ago and I think I have another year or 2 before I need to think about buying a ps4.

There are advantages and disadvantages for both. The PC definitely requires more time and money though.

Cheers.
