The game is looking good. The color palette and textures look much the same
as SCGT. I just hope the game engine has been tweaked to eliminate the cpu
bottle necks when driving with a full field.

Car proportions are incredibly poor. Front wheels (F1 wheels aren't
cylindric-shaped, they are almost balloons!), sidepods, rear wing support,
helmets, etc... And a jag a couple of inches in the air. Btw I've sit in a
F1 car, and be sure that in the***pit you don't see them wheels as high as
in the picture #9. It's not like GPL!
Look at picture #16, you'll see the front wheels almost a feet out of the
car compared to the rear wheels. How can they forget this? :(
Will they ever learn? How many people is it going to need to say them that
the cars make the overall game look ridiculous in all their press releases
and previews? <g> :)

I guess we'll all be waiting for GP3. Im also putting money on RS3 in late
2000 as the dark horse to capture the title again. I think the ubisoft model
is a good one with easy/realistic modes (good for sim$ and arcader$), a
career mode, outstanding weather, animated pit crews and easy to edit
graphics built right in the game. Now if they just improve on the already
decent physics and graphics we'll see FS steal GP's title again.
Why don't all sims take a leason on that one - I mean, why not build a game
so the true SimAttics can tweak the hell out of it without first breaking
all kinds of code. It would give games a far greater life and a broader
audience. And Im not talking about that SHIT hole n3 calls a paint shop -
sure, you can edit cars out of the game but you have to jump through hoops
to do it. The only reason I can see a company not wanting fans to edit
everything is if they plan on releasing season patches or something, but
what company does that?

After looking closer at the pics and reading some of the write-ups and
interviews I would have to say I would surely give this game a chance...EA
has produced the NFS series which is one of my favorite arcade racers and I
do love SCGT (even if it does seem a bit incomplete).
It appears the physics may be better than I thought after all, as is the AI
perhaps and, as I said before, I do love the color pallet. Much better than
the bright greens and blues of MGP-RS2. I read it doesn't have weather
effects, which is disappointing, but nor does GPL which is top5 (not 7,
sorry).
If you were a beta tester why don't you let is in on some more....like; how
does the graphic engine handle a full field of cars on an average pc? how is
the damage model? how good is the ai really? what sort of car adjustments
can be made? how cool is the pits/crew implementation?
It does have one big thing going for it -- it will beat GP3 to market by a
few month...which is hopefully not because EA is pushing it out the door
early, which seemed like the case with SCGT.
So, I leave you with this, drop Rouge Spear out of the top 10 and move GPL
up...no way was RS even better than the original R6.
