'Of course people like Anthony with the sounds will be a shared resource, support in terms of physics and car handling we will look to do that if we can, but there isn't much else we can offer as our resources are tight and obviously Allan probably has much more of a chance to get someone in to do these things. 'We have our stuff we need to concentrate on with RaceRoom and Allan has his goals he needs to do with Simbin' said Chris. Sector3 will of course play a small role in helping with the development of the new GTR3, however with their own commitments lined up as an exciting future beckons for RaceRoom Racing Experience, the possibility of sharing resources be limited at this stage. It has been confirmed that the class leading sounds from R3E will be making an appearance in GTR 3, with talented sound engineer Anthony Monteil sharing his skills across both teams during development. Of course with both Sector3 and Simbin working under the same banner, some of the stronger features of the RaceRoom Racing Experience title will be making a transition over to the new GTR3 game. Coupled to these features will be the ability to now model vehicle damage and bring to the new sim a substantial improvement over RaceRoom's current particle system and AI behaviour. Both Chris and Allan confirmed to me the other week that GTR 3 will contain day to night transition, allowing for fully scalable 24 hour time of day conditions as well as a fully dynamic weather system, bringing with it changing handling in the different conditions, aquaplaning and dynamic water movement that will allow rain to pool organically on the racing surface and dissipate as cars travel through the standing water. With GTR it’s a standalone product' said Chris Speed.īecause GTR 3 will be making use of the powerful Unreal 4 engine, the new title will be in the enviable position of being able to simulate several key features missing from the majority of current racing titles on our shelves at present. All those things mean you have to be always online. In R3E we are using Steam wallet and a shop portal that needs an internet connection. ' The only thing you'll need internet for is if you want to race online multiplayer, that's it. Allan has gone so far as to suggest a first playable version of GTR 3 should be available as soon as six months time. It was clear from our discussions that a solid development plan is already underway in Manchester, aided by the knowledge that funding is on its way for the sim. But there is a goodwill for working on good racing games, and this will be a good racing game'. there is a good will for Simbin yes, whatever happened in the past happened for a reason. The reaction that we've had, especially from people looking for jobs and stuff has been unbelievable. To be honest, the reaction and the recruitment process and all that's happened here (in Manchester) I couldn't be more happy about. Just the announcement of Simbin alone has people knocking on the door.

Manchester is good for transport facilities and we are an hour 50 minutes to London on the train, so it's ideal really. We can tap into Liverpool, Sheffield and other areas.

In Manchester we are in the centre of the country. 'I use the term race game developers because they do a multitude of different racing games. 'The North of England is renowned for talented race game developers' Commented Chris. At present Simbin are situated in a rather attractive tenth floor Manchester City Centre location and the team are already scouting out for a new site capable of supporting up to 35 work stations, with several suitable locations identified and on the radar. Such is the level of interest in the new venture, Speed readily admits the team are on the lookout to expand their current working environment.

The studio have confirmed a core group of people are already at work on GTR3, with their recruitment drive in full swing and several additional team members due to join in the next few weeks. With only three months having passed since the announcement of Simbin UK back in October, development is still very much at an early stage with the new title. The best way to put it is neither side will be forgotten.' I'm not saying that's something we are going to follow completely, I'm just saying that they've done it and it's possible.

I can have fantastic fun in the simulator on PC and I can have just as much fun as a casual gamer on a console. A game that does that really really well is Formula One. The product at the end of the day needs to appeal to both sides, hardcore racer as awell and the casual gamer. 'I think another point we need to take note of is, whilst the PC community would love this hard core simulation thing which is fine, as Allan said there is a console community that aren't going to fully adhere to that.
