Geoff, a perfectionnist ? (part 2)

I just bought the game today. I was so e***d by this game.
The wait was too long.
So, I install the game and.............the problems start.
First, the menus are uggly with this awful orange.
The calibration of my MS gamepad took me 30 minutes, yes 30 minutes.
It's the only game which has a such weird way of calibrate the controllers.
I had no problems with all my others games (MGPRS2, CMR, RC 2000, F1WGP,
F1 2000, etc.......). If someone has a MS Gamepad, please send me your file.

Then, the first time i play a race, it was awful.
The wheel in the car was all black !! A big annoying bug.
Geoff was a real piece of shit. The cameras views are awful. Only one is quite
good,
the***pit view. The exterior view is awful and we can't ajust the zoom like F1
2000.
And why Geoff insert some unplayables cameras views (with "page up") instead of
insert a "over helmet T view" or more exterior and***pits views ?

The graphics suck. I tried all resolutions, even at 1280X1024, they suck. They
are out of date.
If the game was released in 1997 or 1998, ok fine. But we are in 2000 !!!!!!

About the data numbers while racing:
A lot of numbers are mising in F1 2000 while racing (speed, lap time, etc......)
It is, IMHO, It was
sad for me. But i didn't believe my eyes when i saw that Geoff, THE
perfectionnist for a lot of guys,
didn't includes any numbers in the screen.
All the F1 game have now the official licence, so why don't use it ?
Even MGPRS2, without licence, include the "official timing" features with the
real times sponsored
by Siemens or Tag Heuer. It was a key feature for realism.
But F1 2000 and GP3 don't include that. Shame on them. They want to be sim ?
They look like arcade games....

I AM VERY ANGRY with Geoff Cramond. He took 4 YEARS to do this ?!?!?!
The game is a really piece of crap.
I bought F1 2000 in order to wait for GP3 in march, but finally this game is 10X
better than this stupid GP3.
GP3 is just GP2 with (a very little) better graphics and rain. That's all.
Some of you think F1WGP is shit..Are you kidding me ? This game is 100X time
better than GP3.
The graphics are very good, they are a tons of very good***pit and exterior
views. It's finally with this game that
i will play until the release of CMR2 and WSC.

Ohhhhhh, it's like a nightmare. I wait for GP3 since a lot of months
and........I will don't play at it for the moment.
Maybe after a few weeks when some cool guys will make some great 3rd party
stuffs.

I regret to don't have try the warez. You know what ? Because i would save $50.
With my 56kbits modem, it would take me a month to download the warez (120 Mo).
If i had a DSL, i wouldn't buy this crap.

GO TO HELL, GEOFF CRAMOND. WHY DON'T YOU RELEASE A DEMO, UH ? BECAUSE YOUR GAME
SUCKS............
I hope you read this NG and see how a lot of us think how ***is your stupid
game. the West Brothers read this NG in order
to have suggestions for their futur cool WSC. I guess you don't.

Please stop with my gamepad.
I ordered a MS FFSW that i will receive next tuesday.

Do you just see how are display the messages durin the race,
like "Schumacher is out" or "you did the best lap" ?
It's like my old Amiga of 1990.
Geoff, a perfectionnist ? Are you kidding me ?
I will do better than him for the stuffs like that.

Yes it was.

Funny. Looks like the calibration routine is not... how they say it?
"Idiot proof" after all.

a) It's a sim. You don't get anything but a***pit view in real life.

b) You can adjust the zoom.

Technically, they could be a lot better. Aestethically, they're the best
in F1 sims.

You don't get "onscreen" displays of times etc in a real F1 car. All you
get is the pit board info each lap. So what's the ***about "arcade"?
You know, the drivers in real life do not see the thing we see on telly.

If you really are any kind of F1 enthusiast, you'll learn to accept the
dynamic weather as a superb tactical challenge.

What's this shit about exterior views? I thought you wanted a sim, not
an arcade game. And the in-helmet view, while an amusing idea, is
worthless.

Geoff has very little to do with Hasbro marketing.

Agreed. Either Geoff should have listened a bit more carefully to the
simmers and/or F1 fans. Or if he did, Hasbro should have listened to
Geoff. Little things (actual stop and go penals, safety cars) ARE
important and would have been easy to work into the game. But: no.
Despite 4 years of various wishlists for GP3.

I agree. I think this game would be much better if there were more tunnels,
jumps, checkpoints and maybe some police cars chasing you.

 Also, i can't seem to get the car horn to work with my g-g-gamepad.

And they haven't even spelt Damian Hill's name write....

>>First, the menus are uggly with this awful orange.
>Give us a break please?

An ugly menu is an ugly menu - if you can't get that right...?

GP3 is designed to be played with everything down to the keyboard,
coincidentally enough very like F1GP and GP2...

Everyone drives it like an arcade racer, there's no choice. I've got a
noisy pot so the car flicks to the left every now and again, throwing
me onto the grass and into a *** spin. No probs in GP3, if I
instantly mash the brakes the car just straightens itself back up
instantly and I carry on my merry way with nary a second lost.

They don't "suck", but they're far from what they could, and should,
be.

So you think GP3 _isn't_ GP2 with better graphics and rain? Looks
_very_ like it....

You shouldn't be. The weather is incredible, the game we've seen four
years ago, and for much of it all the way back to F1GP. Overall the
weather brings it up to "okay", but no more than that.

Cheers!

Geoff, a perfectionnist ? (part 2)

by Erwa » Mon, 31 Jul 2000 04:00:00

GP3, a sim ?!?!?       Are you kidding me ?
GPL is a sim but GP3 is not more "sim" than F1 2000 or MGRS2.
It's just an arcade game.
So, for an arcade game, it should include great stuff like official timing or a
lot of great
cameras views like F1 2000 or F1WGP.





> >I just bought the game today. I was so e***d by this game.
> >The wait was too long.

> O.K.

> >So, I install the game and.............the problems start.

> Like... ?

> >First, the menus are uggly with this awful orange.

> Give us a break please?

> >The calibration of my MS gamepad took me 30 minutes, yes 30 minutes.

> Your g-g-gamepad?

> >It's the only game which has a such weird way of calibrate the controllers.
> >I had no problems with all my others games (MGPRS2, CMR, RC 2000, F1WGP,
> >F1 2000, etc.......). If someone has a MS Gamepad, please send me your file.

> LOL.

> >Then, the first time i play a race, it was awful.
> >The wheel in the car was all black !! A big annoying bug.

> My wheel is fine (beautiful). What type of video card do you have?
> Drivers? DX version? CPU speed? RAM?

> >Geoff was a real piece of shit. The cameras views are awful. Only one is
quite
> >good,
> >the***pit view. The exterior view is awful and we can't ajust the zoom like
F1
> >2000.

> So you drive it like an arcade racer?
> Oops, I forgot about the gamepad.

> >And why Geoff insert some unplayables cameras views (with "page up") instead
of
> >insert a "over helmet T view" or more exterior and***pits views ?

> I guess you've lost me. Do you want to drive from the suspension view, or?

> >The graphics suck. I tried all resolutions, even at 1280X1024, they suck.
They

> I disagree, but then again, your wheel is black and ugly, so..

> >If the game was released in 1997 or 1998, ok fine. But we are in 2000 !!!!!!

> Congrats!

> >About the data numbers while racing:
> >A lot of numbers are mising in F1 2000 while racing (speed, lap time,
etc......)

> I guess he spent more time making the***pit the best.
> Maybe he didn't have time for all the arcade options.

> Numbers?

> >All the F1 game have now the official licence, so why don't use it ?

> He did.

> >Even MGPRS2, without licence, include the "official timing" features with the

> So you want the word 'Siemens' on the screen, or.. ?

> >But F1 2000 and GP3 don't include that. Shame on them. They want to be sim ?
> >They look like arcade games....

> Those 2 sims are hard to drive with that gamepad, huh.. ?

> >I AM VERY ANGRY with Geoff Cramond. He took 4 YEARS to do this ?!?!?!
