It could come close to GP3 if it had better throttle response, better

Eh?
I'd go with F12K in Graphics performance, I Get 40fps at Max Detail with
FSAA (about 60fps w/out) and graphically its twice as good as GP3. Although
I do like GP3's weather system

I even think official Formula one is better than F12000.
Hats off for EA for making NBA 2000, but hats down for Fifa2000, and
F1-2000.

Anders H. J?rgensen,
der snart flytter til ?rhus.

As written in a thread below, Hockenheim should be a rollercoaster in some
places, the motodrome and the ostcurve. I agree that F1-2000 has potential.
It could come close to GP3 if it had better throttle response, better
braking physics, better track accuracy, better graphics performance, good AI
and weather. Impossible to improve all that without major changes to the
game engine. F1-2000 was rushed because they knew otherwise they wouldn't
stand a chance against GP3 in sales. Still, i'm looking forward to F1-2001.
At the moment GP3 is king though.

Cheers , Jason

I won't even mention the shrink heads driving the F12k cars...
oops, now I did it! ;)

  Personal preference I guess - from the***pit shots I'd have picked
GP3.

  The out of car shots you've given from GP3 seem strangely pixelated
compared to my version and I'm running on fairly modest hardware -
Celeron 450 with v3000.

I did both shots in 800x600 to try and be fair. although 1280x1024 in gp3
will improve graphics , still not enough to beat F12K IMO and this would
also have been an inacurte comparison.

But as you said it's Personal preference, which was what the page is
supposed to gauge, I wasn't originally doing the screen shots to say F12k is
better, it just looked that way in my preference.

Why dont you make it fair and put the top notch GP3 graphics on
instead of the semi good ones.  That imola shot looks nothing like
what the GP3 graphics can do.
Look at the saubers.  The EA Sports one looks very cartoonish.  Look
how long the front of the car is?!?!?!?!?!  Its totally out of shape,
the front of the car is waaaaaaayyyyyyy too long.  The head is tiny.
The F!2000 cars look more clearer in some shots.

I much prefer the GP3 graphics,  lots more detail around the place as
in where everything should be, the correct sponsers etc.

ok, you can have the graphic level in GP3 set up as high as it will go
and the background pics will look blocky.  What matters is if you go
advanced in graphics, and unselect reduce texture detail then they
look completly real, and totally crisp, no blockyness at all.

The picture in that shot looks awful and is nothing what GP3 can do.

Are they babies driving the cars?? I didnt think drivers heads were
THAT small.  

GP3***pit hands down

The F12000 cars look cartoonish, very bright looking, as does most of
the game (cartoonish that is)
I prefer the GP3 cars.  I spun out at Melbourne yesterday, and it was
a complete mirror image to Coulthards spin this year there, i could
not tell the difference it was that good.

I dont like the F12000 cars.  They look so long and wierd, totally out
of shape.  The front of the car is 3 times longer than the back of the
car (which isnt right)

GP3 has great backgrounds and trackside objects.  The f12000
graphics...in that imola pic, you cant tell if the trees are green or
black.

Gp3 hands down again!!
