Who ever claimed that the GT2 physics model was great? Eye candy?
Did you think that was great? What about the poor texturing and lousy
detail? Almost any pc 3d accelerated title released in the last 3 of
4 years looks better than that. As for the physics model, its a psx
game for kids. What do you expect? Most ***s who like it like it
more for the variety of cars and fun factor than the realism IMO.
What you think of it is entirely up to you. My point was that playing
GT2(its a game remember) on a pc using an emulator is just as
satisfying as playing it on a psx, and it looks nicer. If it
satisfied the few of us who would like to see a GT-like game on the PC
then so be it.
I'm slowly developing a thick skin here in RAS, despite the generally
friendly atmosphere.
If you feel that the post didn't belong in the ng, that's another
story.
what i can't understand is, why bother to comment if you don't have
anything to add? maybe i should just assume everybody has a silent
"in my opinion" on their posts when they say something.
where's that monty python mp3. I need a laugh.

As I just played the GT3 demo yesterday, I'll be off today to test it
some more :)

GT series has a better physics model than, say, RC2k, and that one is
considered a PC sim, right?

at least I never claimed it had a great physics engine, anyway.
besides, i've never played GT3 so am not qualified to comment on it
anyway.
now that I think of it, i wouldn't know what a good physics engine was
even if it walked up to me in a bar and introduced itself as being a
great physics engine.
GT & GT2 both "feel" good to drive and the replays / camera views blew
me away when I saw them the first time. I remember comparing them to
NFS3 & TOCA at the time GT was around and saying the PC had nothing
equivalent to compare. In some respects, thats still true, IMO.
