F1 2000 general question

by Mark Jeangerar » Sun, 23 Apr 2000 04:00:00

Came by to see what the consensus was on F1 2K. I have read a lot of interesting stuff and in some ways it looks like a lot of fun. But then in other ways it looks like a let down. So I have one question I haven't been able to answer for myself from what I've read.

Is F1 2K at least as good as Sports Car GT?

To me it is, if not better. Having said that, I don't think you'd like it Mark.

That didn't answer his question.

IMO it is better than SCGT but it needs a powerful PC to run it well.

I'll second Ian's opinion, and as far as GP3 is concerned, I'll bet that in
order to produce cars that look as nice as the screenshots floating around
you'll need an even more powerful PC. Just the unfortunate steady increase
of system requirements. I hoped that hardware T&L would short circuit this
for a while - it's cheaper to replace a video card than the motherboard &
CPU - but has any game in any genre been released which shows the dramatic
improvement forecast by nVidia?

Back to the question - although I really liked SCGT (and it's still my
favorite for playing head-to-head), I am more 'involved' with F1 thanks to
television coverage etc, so I find F1 2000 even more enjoyable.

You know...everyone says it runs bad on anything but a
killer machine.  I have an AMD K6-3 450mhz, 196meg SDRAM,
Voodoo3 3000 and it runs with a full grid just fine.  I was
able to make a nice little move on Frentzen that put me in
fourth place where I finished Silverstone.  Not once did I
have a problem with framerates.  

Personally, it is a very fun sim...buy it if only for that
reason.

Did a 20 laper on Silverstone last night, got away second, took coult***
the second lap, thought I would get away but that ***y coulthard just kept
right on my arse. Cave in to the pressure on lap 10 and spun. went back to
5th spent the next 7 laps getting back to the lead. ***y Coulthard again,
right up my arse all the rest of the way! I won, but only just Coulthard was
1.2 behind.

What a great race! I was so pumped when I finished that one.

You must be running on fairly low detail. How many cars drawn?
I too am enjoying it, but really have to crank some details down to get a
smooth framerate on my 464 mhz celeron.

I've got a monster machine PIII running at 581 ant GeForce DDR at have been
getting poor frame rates. However I've switched off the force feedback
(which is pants anyway) and it's now running OK with full detail.

I hope they do a patch to resolve this FF problem

I think thats the reason i like SCGT more than F1 2000.  I have
watched all but two F1 GP's since the French GP in 1981 and have
always read other media concerning GP racing, used to be
magazines but know mostly stuff on the web.  I know very little
about GT racing these days though.

SCGT I liked because it was fun and even if there were some
innacuracies it didn't bug me as I would not know about them.
To me SCGT seems like a reasonably accurate sim.  Seeing as I
know alot about F1 the inaccuracies in F1 2000 do annoy me
because they are so obvious.  There's track innacuracy, cars
crashing on parade lap, pathetic sound, unrealistic performance
of AI and can you imagine Ross Brawn telling Micheal
Scumacher "You can do better than that, stick to the track!"
LOL!

What a joke!

Chris

No you are not getting old. "pants" is most likely some esoteric
british term similar to "tosser" :-)

Cherro, old man!
