GP3 : hey where are all the post ?

Hi

I saw a reveiw of GP3 on ***netting ( TV prog )
and it showed quite a nice view of GP3 graphics
especially with the wet track and all.

I thought "hey it is not as bad as some say "
what happened to all those post on GP3 ?

Seems like the game just  dropped off the radar ...

I think that the expectations of some gamers was so high for this game that it
was dissappointing for those who were expecting this game to be revolutionary
rather than a mere evolution from GP2.  The most remarkable thing about this
game I have found is that it runs at excellent and ultra smooth frame rates on
even a modest system and videocard. Frame rates are high at even 1280x1024 with
my old p3 600 and a Rage 128 (30 + FPS). The graphics are near photorealistic
with my new Voodoo 5 5500 at 1280x1024 using 4xFSAA to smooth out every jaggie,
while still maintaining a good frame rate.
The game has its shortcomings, but I am less picky about somethings , as long
as I get great graphics, decent physics, and good framerates. Overall I like
this game.

Well, in case you have not noticed, Nascar 4 has pretty much taken over this
newsgroup as the new 'King" of discussion, supplanting GPL finally.
For those that hate it or love it, it will likely be THE sim most debated until
WSC shows up late in the year. GP3 is pretty much old news, along with alot of
other decent sims from the past year. Nascar 4 seems to have staying power.

I still play GP3 almost every day. The reason that we
don't see any posts is because there simply  is nothing to talk about. :-)

Check the forums at www.simracingnew.com Sims like RC2000, F12000/CS and GP3
get a lot of postings while sims like GPL get almost none. Different forums
get different results.

Go here:
http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Very professionally managed bulletin board.  I enjoy the game; wish I had a
faster machine for the first corner of a race though, PII 400 and Voodoo 3
3000 just won't cut it!

Hey

From what I read, I think N4 will last the most end of March
After that you would hardly see any more post.

Typically when a new game comes out , it would swarm
the newsgp but in case of N4 , there post are very sparse....

I am not condeming the game , just the responce of the group here
to N4......


power.
