As to the original Q, yes I dl'd the movie. Yes, probably PSX version. Can't
tell too much from the low-res 1 minute movie, so I'd say just wait for the
(hopefully real-soon-now) demo.
BTW, who is the "Point of View Inc" referred to in the movie?
Oh, I also suggest getting a program like "Getright" which allows you to
resume dl's that were interrupted. I use netscape's own "smart download", but
I find the interface, and the adverts, annoying.

I was the lead programmer on the PSX version of Sports Car GT. Point
of View did the PSX version of SCGT. Some of POV.'s previous titles:
NFL Blitz (PC), Mortal Kombat Trilogy (Sega Saturn and PC) and Golden
Nugget (PSX), and Black Dawn (Sega Saturn) .
SCGT is not a port of the PC version. There were some "shared"
rescorces between us and Image Space... Our team was able to to attend
all of the tracks used in the game. After we were done modeling the
tracks, we were able to send our photographic resources to ISI.
In addition, the PSX sku features 3 additional "hidden" tracks that
are not available on PC.
As far as it being "arcady" goes, the physics/dynamics variables for
each car were just tweaked to reach the target audience for the PSX
sku. The dynamics simulation run by the game is extremely complex and
could have been made much more realistic... if the publisher
(Westwood/E.A) so desired.
I also put together the movie that is used on the EA web site a few
months ago. It contains actual shots of gameplay. Unfortunately, the
codec used for the movie (Cinepak) is quite poor and much of the
richness of the game captures are lost.
Hope this clears up some informaton

Thanks for the information, finally get some lead developers on this news
group, just have to say, typical playstation game hehe (hidden tracks). But
then again, if it is for psx, it should be targeted for that audience.
