GP3, not so bad at all !!!

After I spend some more hours on GP3, i like it more and more, i have to
admit.

Ofcourse i am a bit disappointed about GP3. But only a bit. Everybody seems
to know exactly what really is realisctic. Well i doubt if there are many
guys (girls?) over here who really are sure about such things.

Common lets face it. Sure its not realistic enough. BUT What did you expect
???

1. no laptimes in the screen (or information that someone is out of the
race), because in a real car they also race without a screen....(i mean they
dont see information in the air...)?
2. a real helmet view, so when you move your head in front of your screen,
then you can really see who is passing you... ?
3. should they sell a drivers seat as well (you give your body sizes to
Hasbro,
and when you get the game , you get also your own racing seat ...?)
4. should there be water coming out of your screen to simulate exactly that
you are racing in rain?
5. a microphone, so you can really discuss your tactics with your team in
the pit?
6. oil on the tarmac, after someone blowed up his engine ?
7. able to get out of your car after having a crash with someone else, and
be able to fight him (put some kickbox features in it?)...?
8. running back to get your second car, cause you spinnened off the track
during qualifying...?
9. being interviewd after you qualified at place 1, 2 or 3 .....?
10. .............

I am sure they make a patch soon for this features.
Come on!! Get real, this is a racing GAME. And sure we had expect more ( i
am
also critical), but lets stay objective, shall we.....?

Keep smiling

I agree, oke we expected more of the graphics, but I can live with the rest. In
the near future there will be enough add on's on the web anyway.  The big thing
I am the most disappointed about is the absence of a split axis feature. Gp2 had
it. Why not gp3? unbelievable.
For the rest I like it more when I play it longer.

cheers
