Folks,
Is there any concensus? probably not >-|, I have seen both comments
in favour and against GP4. I installed it last night and played it
more or less no-stop.
My first reaction was the sound is _so_ different, much more like f1
2001 or 2002. Maybe it more like the real sound (from watching it on
TV) but I liked the sound in GP3 sounded more 'aggressive'.
The graphics are much better (ATI 7200 1024x768 Athlon 1200) and I
have not seen any of the annoying slow downs with GP3 (2000 or
not). What surprised me is how different many of the tracks are, I
wonder if they were way off in GP3....
Some bugs, most noticeable is in the pits the mirror views are wrong,
they still show 'track' objects. I personally don't think that the
animated pit crew add _that_ to the game, but it might take more races
to be more sure.
Monaco is a real improvement, the blue sky (of all things) is just
great.
Someone mentioned it was easier, I would agree, i don't know if easier
is the right word, I prefer 'forgiving' again maybe it is a time
matter, but when driving on the limit in GP3 it was very easy to spin
off, seems much harder now.
