Forget all that pap, GT3 is of course a masterpiece but Toca Race Driver is on the way to wipe that memory from our minds and memory cards.
OK, so perhaps red hot racing action isn't everyone's kind of thing but Touring Cars has got to be one of the best motorsports around.
The great thing of course is that good old Codemasters are behind the wheel and if they can churn out something better than Toca 2 - bring it on!!
No, I'm not a Codemasters employee by the way, I just can't wait to get my hands on this baby. The screenshots look superb although being a Toca geek I have noticed that some of the vehicle models aren't quite right (and that's not being REALLY critical).
Roll on Autumn baby!
Looks like a good year for driving fans who own a PS2, in the following months there's going to be GT: Concept, Toca Race Driver, Colin McRae 3.0, Rally championship, burnout 2, The getaway, driver 3, GTA: Vice ect.. I know some of them aren't proper racing titles, but still they are mainly set around cars. The good thing about that list is that nearly all those games appeal to me.
Thing is, they've got to get some Toca fans on board now as the season is in full swing. By the time it's released the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) will be just about over (ends in September).
I'll be getting it regardless!

Part of my post from the Colin McRae 3.0 thread elsewhere on this forum...
"At first glance, this looks amazing. But I did notice a few problems. Things seemed to slow a little with many cars on screen, and there was also what I call "pop-down". This is like clipping, but the effect is that parts of the scenery disappear before they've gone off screen. As the car was racing along, track barriers were okay, but advertising hoardings would suddenly disappear as the reached the edge of the screen. I hope they resolve this before its release in September. Other than that - it was fantastic!"

Wookiee's great little comment "pop-down" scenery glitching sort of thing.
