Amazing how such conclusions can be drawn from a screen shot.  You simply
make an ass of yourself by offering such presumptuous conclusions based on a
friggin' screen shot.  What will you say if you are wrong?  Probably
nothing, you'll just troll away with another moronic guess for some other
unreleased game.  Everyone appreciates thoughtful intelligent commentary.
It's just not possible to criticize the entire game based on one screen
shot, if you think it is so you are an arrogant putz.  Fool.

I cant understand why people are judging the game from screenshots, SOS1937
looked great from the screenshots, and what a pile of poo that turned out to
be. If you've played GP3 then by all means tell us what its like, but dont
make assumptions based on screenshots :)
WSC sounds promising from what the manufacturers are saying but I'll again
reserve judgement till I've tried it. As for CPR, don't get me started there
!!! ;)

Well... If he thinks that Multiplayer Racing is not a must for a ***
racing simulation.. maybe he thinks that 3d-acceleration is not a must
neither <vbg>.  Im starting to think he's living in retro mode that Geoff.

This one's *obviously* software rendered.  Keep your pants on.  I'm sure
we'll see some 3d hardware screenshots soon.

That's funny. I will buy GP3 and I,m sure it will be a great game. And
even if it,s just a gp2 graphic and win32 update I'll be happy.

I can only agree with you. In my list of requirements/likings for any
sim, the following three share the top spot :
- quality physics engine
- online multiplayer
- 3d acceleration (D3D/OpenGL since I have a TNT :))
No doubt GP3 will have a top physics engine, and 3d acceleration (though
I only really care for the performance boost it provides).
But the online multiplayer is something different. As I never ever race
GPL offline, and have never raced against its AI, you can imagine my
feelings towards the currently reported GP3 specs. If the lack of online
multiplayer is still suffered by the final release, I won't even consider
buying GP3.

But wasn't GPL released with no online supports!!?!?!

VROC is an outside source, which can' this be done for GP3, I'm sure it will
if people aren't turned off too much y all the ***in this NG about it.

No. GPL was released with multiplayer support in the form of modem to modem,
IPX and TCP/IP.

VROC is a broker service that matches players and servers, helping to
connect them using the GPL multiplayer TCP/IP support.

modem to modem isn't exactly as good as what VROC is surely!?!

I'm judging it a lot on the competence of the design.

If programming for DirectX (which I believe they do), there is basically
little difference in doing software to hardware. Unless they are
updating their own software engine, which would mean extra development
time better spent elsewhere in my opinion.
