Grand Prix 4 versus F1 2002 versus F1 Racing Championship

A user who had played a cracked GP4 asked whether it had been released, prompting rival recommendations. One poster championed Ubisoft's F1 Racing Championship and reported that its sequel had been cancelled, while others said its physics were flawed and favoured F1 2002 as the better F1 sim and GP4 as more arcade-like. Gunnar Horrigmo lamented F1 2002's lack of AI in multiplayer.

Get f1 racing championship by ubisoft, the best of all! the grafix are the best of all games, btw, f1rc2 project is stopped by ubisoft for unknown reasons, so it wont be released :'( but f1rc is definatly the best racing game ever, try this link: http://www.actiontrip.com/files/demos/f1racingchampionship.phtml there are links to the demo, try it and tell me what u think, the new season 2002 update is verry cool, but u cant use that in a demo, and the game is here in holland cheap at the moment, the game is from 2001!

Gp4 suxxxxxx...... LOL GP4 = Nice fun arcadey F1 drive with pretty good AI (except in qualifying) F12002 = Nice fun F1 simulation with rather crap AI If you want arcade physics and rules, get GP4. If you want an F1 simulation, get F12002. Buy according to preference :) -- Frode

Agreed It was VERY nearly a superb product - just not QUITE right Now is someone could just export those tracks...... DOug
>"Doug Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote > It was VERY nearly a superb product - just not QUITE right Exactly. As also, F12002 is a very nearly superb product, just not quite right because of the badly modeled tracks and 3d environment. As also, GP4 is a very nearly superb product, just not quite right because of it's 15 year old core engine ;) > Now is someone could just export those tracks...... We said the same for Motorsims and the tracks they created for AMA Superbike. Perhaps those people could realise that the work they have done still is worth the potential to other companies. Other companies would love to have to pay for a team of 3d modellers and 2d artists if they could buy it from somebody else that have done it perfectly. Really, why not? If I had serious 3d track modeling skills, I would try to create tracks so I could sell them to either the track themselves (so they can sell it again to game producers) or directly to game producers. That means arcade-type tracks or simulations of real tracks. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

But they promised that the patch for f1rc would be released before f1rc2 would be released.. Well perhaps that was the reason f1rc2 got canned.. :-/ Andre

well, no, not really. I do a lot of LAN-racing with a few buddies, you see. Monaco just isn't that fun with three cars on the track. -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 gnus don't kill people. gnus-summary-lower-score kills people.

>"schumiboy87" <[email hidden]> wrote > try to put that in the game, and u will see how perfect it is ;) Sorry, but that absolutely did not change the fact that it is flawed at it's core. Those updates changed nothing to the sim except the standard graphical updates. Yes even the physics (not psychic) updates. F1RC is as flawed as any other sim, and far from perfect. Far. Stop trolling on us. GPL is a thousand times more perfect then that eh! -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...
