Le Mans 24 Hrs

www.softwarefirst.co.uk are showing two apparently different Le Mans games, Le Mans 1.5 due in July and Le Mans 24 Hrs due tomorrow (24/5), both are by Infogrames. Can anyone tell me whether these have anything to do with each other and whether they have anything to do with the original Infograme title, Le Mans 24 Hrs, that come out a while ago. They are not priced as budget re-releases. Cheers. Andi.

sounds interesting .. two NEW Lemans games huh ... and by the same developer ?? Anyway, the old one wasn't really .. euhm .. well, it has a nice scenery ! (not to say anything negative) Andi Cole wrote:

Is that the same developer, or is somebody else delivering the scenery this time ? I am just kidding, I only reply cause I got frustrated with that other LeMans game, some years ago .. didn't like that, altough the idea behind it is GREAT ... And I would like to see a sim (or arcade .. what the f_ck) of this incredible (can we say 'making-the-US-jeaulous'-racing-event) ... nuff said .. I liked the fact you could do a race in 24 minutes .. .with sunset and all of that ... pitty I didn't play this game 24 minutes in total ... Andi Cole wrote:

A funny side-note.. My friends have the LeMans 24Hour for the Dreamcast. You can play it realtime, so the race takes 24 hours... Two of my friends actually did the 24 hour race, switching every 6 hours or something without ever pausing the game. They started the race at the proper time (4PM I think?) so it got dark in the game the same time it got dark outside and everything! They set up a camcorder too, and they turned it on for a few minutes every hour to give an update on how the race is going. It's a hilarious video to watch.. you can see piles of coke cans stacking up every hour, and pizza boxes. Towards the last few hours, neither of them are making any sense and they're just mumbling and complaining about their eyes! It's awesome.. They came in 1st too.. made the last pass at the 21 hour mark I think. Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "Tony Van Cauter" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Does this game have a "cockpit view" I have not been able to determine that from what I have read...LeMans is my favorite race and if it has the incar view I would buy it anyway just to try it out... **** "Here we are on a planet moving and spinning though space at 500 miles per second...and look...my beer stays right there in the glass!

The view is approximately from the top of the windscreen. Pretty cool, actually! If you like the LeMans race and can live with some semi-arcade handling, buy it now..

Mike- Thanks for that story!! I always wondered if anyone tried that and great to know now what it would be like without having to do it myself! Love the image of the late stages- too much. Tim

The DC version had a lot of promise while the PC version was one of the worst games I've ever played. Jason

It's the sequel to the PS2 version, which was a sequel to the Dreamcast version. It has nothing to do with the PC version. Different engine, developers, etc..
