GP3: it is going to be a hog

Hi

Looking at the screenshot of GP3 weather
I would say it would be another framerate hog
for machines less than 600mhz.

It is nice to have so much more things
added to GP2 but most of us are
going to find it hard going

Thanks and regards

I'm also very affraid it will require a heavy pc with the rain on, but
we'll just have to wait and see...

Not at all, i have the latest warez version which is most likely the
final version or very close to what will be released in stores and the
only good thing i can say about GP3 is that the framerate is really
high even with all details set to the max including in the rain. And
that's on my measly 2nd machine (a PII 350)

But the reason the framerates are so good is because the games
graphics are bad, with lousy low res textures and tons of blockiness
and pixelization, the whole game has this faded washed out look to it.

I never owned GP2 but have always heard all these people going on
about how it was the best ever and how GP3 would be the end all be all
of F1 games, well now that i've played it i can say for sure it's not,
hell, even UbiSoft's F1 Racing '97 has this beat. F12000 is better as
well. GP3 is going to go down as one of the most over-hyped letdowns
ever, it's just so dated looking compared to other F1 games that have
been released in the last few years.
