GTR back in the driver's seat

Last year, gear-headed racing studio SimBin released its first console game, the Atari-published Race Pro for the Xbox 360. While the effort received a positive critical reception, it didn't fare quite as well as the company's previous racing sims on the PC.

That move to consoles may be short-lived, as today the developer promised it will "take gamers back to the roots of SimBin style racing games" with its new GTR game. However, the publisher didn't actually specify a platform for the project.

The new GTR game will include new online features and a "very comprehensive" array of downloadable content when it launches in 2011. The developer says the game will place an even greater emphasis on realism, specifically when it comes to graphics and player immersion.

Currently there's no announced publisher for the game. For more on SimBin's latest effort, check out the GameSpot review of Race Pro.
