Super 1 Karting: realism???

by lavoiedan.. » Wed, 08 Mar 2000 04:00:00

                         Interactive entertainment and Midas released a
demo version of their next *sim* , Super 1 karting.

                         Get it at:
http://www.racesimcentral.net/

                         My questions are:

                         1- What do you think?

                         2- For those of you who already raced these
little machines, how realistic it is? I found it easy to make
                         rather good times and to winraces, so I doubt
of its sense of realism...

                         BTW, sure there are flaws: AIs are sooo slow in
corners, not only because of their choice of gearing, but
                         even in the braking zone. as well, one can
easily (too easily) punt an opponent to catch its position. Finaly,
                         there would be a good job to be done on replays
(with changing camera views), since they barely help us to
                         improve ourselves...

                         Otherwise, it could be rapidly ***ive!

Incidentally, i had mailed an old friend who runs a rather large indie
software mail order/net site and they've not even aware it existed. Midas may
have it ready to ship on the 17thm but ***s knows where you'll be able to buy
it.

Hi, when i have tried the demo, i have just tried 2 or 3 days real kart
racing, so i got the feeling of it. When
i tried the demo, in my opinion, i have found the physics to very good, and
i like it, just make me remember the feeling i got driving thoses on the
real track !!!.

Hope this answer your question.

Bye Coco

IMO, it's a nice game but as a karting simulation feels totally unrealistic.
I haven't raced the more powerful Karts (only up to 19 hp) but the steering
in the demo is way to slow and unresponsive and the deadzone is huge. Also
you can't use split axis, but that's what karting at a competitive level is
all about. The braking and accelleration physics don't feel right either.

I've raced karts for 5 years now. Last year alone I won 11 out of 28 races.
In my opinion this game is pathetic. The physics are awful, the AI is
terrible, and the kart steers like a freaking 18 wheeler. Hope that answers
your question.

Absolutely correct.
This thing feels nothing like a real kart
