GP500 better?
Thanks,

I have SBK and have played the GP500 demo. Does that count?

I think SBK is miles better. In every department, graphics, sound (although
both are poor), gameplay, realism.

I was looking forward to GP500, but after the demo, I am left very
dissapointed.

so far sbk to me is better in some stuff like sound and graphics but gp500
is great on physics which to me is what racing is about i'm also doing beta
testing for the ama superbike race game and so far its preety good they have
a lot of bugs but if they clean them out this could be the best game out
there

You know that normally when you "beta test" you shouldn't be telling people
about the title.  I would suggest you read the stuff they sent you, if they
ever did, I really hope so.

I would call GP500 FAR from great on the physics. They have some huge physics
holes.

Your reply has a BIG hole in it Destroy, you left out WHY you think it has
"huge physics holes". Please explain your thoughts in future posts instead
of making a meaningless statement.

It was a big downer that sbk screwed online to hell.  But it is possiable to play
cable to cable supposedly.  I might try Tuesday, when I get my cable and ipx
network hooked up.  SBK i think tho is more realistic almost.  But now GP500 is
totaly editable.  So maybe you could be running Superbikes on GP500 series.  You
never know.  Also I liked that SBK had wet race mode.  GP500 is a great game, and
has a better game engine (for playing speed).  I love them both evenly.  But I
think sbk is a touch more realistic.

I wish they'd do something about the screen resolution in SBK.  800x600
sux big time on a large monitor.  GP500 demo is quite gorgeous at
1600x1200, and I love laying blackies everywhere.  SBK still seems more
realistic though.

Well play the game and you'll see. Couple obvious ones I noticed in less that 20
seconds of play:

1. You can't loose the front end entering a turn too fast with no brake usage.
2. You can't instantly roll snap a wheelie in 1st gear.
3. Lean angles achieved in the grass are remarkable.
4. Can't lock up the front brake in a straight line at speed.

I'm sure I could list many more if I played the game for awhile. Don't get me
wrong some things in this demo are well done but these just totally blow this
game into my Recycle Bin.
