First of all I like GP2, by the second, it's terribly different, second one
is more playable, graphics are so faster, it includes different weather
situations. It the most real of all.

But aside from that...the GP2 feel is identical...the way the cars "move"
(or don't) hasn't changed one iota...sounds...the old school way of faking
3d...

The problem is, GP3 looks like it might be 6 years old, if even that. GPL
looks leaps and bounds better.
The comparison between GP3 and GP2 is a lot more like N2002 vs N4 or N1999
vs N2, and a lot less like N4 vs N3 / N3 vs N2 / N2 vs N1. Even N3, while
still on the same old engine, added some vastly improved graphics,
especially the smoke and dirt effects (which I also prefer to GP3).
I think Crammond probably finished GP3 years ago...then it got lost in the
mail after it went gold and finally got delivered to the publisher a few
years late. =P

maybe...could be he turned off his brain as well ? :)
Well, I think you exaggerate. If you ever run GP2 and GP3 back to back it's
quite an obvious and appreciable step up in overall game play and graphics
quality. What's strange about GP3 is the glaring contrasts in quality of
execution. On the one hand you have bitmap tires, pixelly bits here and
there, and bizarre clipping. This is all a legacy of the old engine with a
token effort at 3D support painted on at the end. On the other hand, some
of the textures in GP3 look superb (in my opinion). The roadside banners on
the S/F straights look crisper in GP3 than in F1-2001 on everything but the
"full" setting in EA's title, and GP3 was running on an 8Mb card.
F1-2001 has wiped GP3 off my HD, but I'm quite interested in what GP4 will
be like. Personally, I like the rather "organic" look of the screenshots so
far, and the details in some of the buildings and distant scenery (tufts of
grass at the bottoms of fences, irregular sand patches) is quite nice if you
really take a look at it.
