Ok, lets say you all were building a new racing game/sim. What parts of
current games should be kept, and what can be disposed of? also what should
be added that does not exist in any sims/games right now ?
For keepers:
- The obvious: GPL's physics (or better?)
- RC2K's rally stages. (with better pace notes)
- Graphics... Hmmm, still nothing I really like out there. Perhaps
something like CD-I's golf in full 3D?
- The feel I get from Viper racing that it has been made by pure racing
enthusiasts.
- And, well, the price of viper racing :-). Even though I would have
paid twice as much for a sim like GPL. This one was really cheap if I
consider playing time per buck!
- Damage modeling of Viper racing and GPL combined. Jeez, there is a lot
of viper here. I should start racing that more often again.
- Incar sounds of Network Q RAC rally championship.
- Car and track info like in NFSSE. Or a track discription per corner as
you are viewing someone driving the track.
Redirect to the trash bin:
- Ingame music.
- So called 'gameplay enhancements'.
- The misleading 'best simulator ever' text on game boxes.
- Way over due realease dates.
- Bad technical support.
- Software piracy
- Microsoft.

Real game physics and internet play is a must

A track editor would be great! I could reproduce a few of the local
area tracks. race a few places that other users might not care about.

Everyone wins with this type of package: the publisher extends the life of a product when the
customer buys the editor.
