It uses the same engine, therefore it's almost 100% certain it will be.

The***pit is nice enough - the rotating LCD display is a clever idea,
something that I don't think has been done before. However, it's going to
REALLY get on your nurves if you're trying to look at numbers that are at 90
degrees to your eye line - people will laugh at me tiliting my head going
round the corners....

I appreciate that this is only a 60% completed thing, but GPL looks more
organic, GP500 looks more real and TOCA 2 looks more vivid.

I am expecting much from this game. I am sure Crammond will deliver (D'ya
know that GP1 was written here in Tetbury, Glos.) But there's A LOT of work
to do.

You are right, though, looking at the features list, it's certainly nothing
to shout about.  It won't be ahead of it's time like F1GP and GP2 were.

It is done the same way in OF1R.

Errrr... we know it's the same engine, so it's erm, almost certain it
will be. Which bit did you have problem with?

Sorry, I can't explain it with pictures for you, do you understand?

GP2 was a ripp off, only the screenshots were great.

The new GP3 page has NOTHING to offer:
- screenshots are just awfull (GP2 quality)
- all the other promises are just 'the usual shit'.

.. OF COURSE it will have 3D support. Of course it will have the real
tracks, real cars..

It just doesn't say anywhere if it will be playable..

I suggest everyone just copies the game IF its good, so we finally get a
PLAYABLE game for all the money we spend on hardware to get GP2 going (in
vain). I upgraded like mad only to find out the game looked totally outdated
by the time it was fully playable in SVGA.

Or if you are a total morron, just join the hype created for GP3.
Its all just meant to make you spend your dollars.

Hi,

what's your problem?
I think the screenshots are really nice for the software mode, better, then
GPL in Software mode.  Image the graphic with a Voodoo3 or Riva2. The
graphic of Gp2 is still good for a game that is so old. I play Gp2 more then
every other new racing game (ok, maybe without GPL).
What should they write on there webpage?
Gp2 was and is a very good Racing Game. With a better graphic, network
support and a driving-model like GPL it would be near perfect. We should
wait for a "offical demo", then we will see, how the game will really look
like.

Greetings,
Tobias

The poly model has some extra features, like barge boards (?).  It looks a
lot better than the angular Ubisoft models.  Let's hope he gets the 3D
hardware side up to speed (so the speak).

Organic... good choice of words.  I have always found Papyrus pallettes
much more realistic than other games.  Although ICR2 had chunky textures,
the colours always looked better than GP2 to my eyes.  GPL seems spot on
to me.  The Ubisoft products are just a little to weird for me.

But without as much info, and not as readable.

I must admit, the GP3 feature page doesn't state that its MORON proof.
Therein lies your problem
