World Sports Cars Movie

I just thought some of you might like to check out this, a 39.3Mb video of World Sports Cars, available at http://www.4gamer.net/img6/wsc_mv.mpg. It is a video camera recording a TV screen showing some menus and replays. The start of it looks like a fairly advanced version of Brands Hatch, with one car circling. Look at the car as it goes through the chicane - as it heads over the crest, the rear end lightens and gets thrown slightly sideways, and the way the sim accurately recreates the little shake as it regains grip is truly phenomenal! I was dubious about this game ever delivering anything like its potential before I saw this, but now I just want it! By the way, don't all start downloading it just yet, I only have 35% :-) Luckily it is a .mpg so you can watch what you have downloaded so far while still downloading the rest. Nick.

So is this the PC version or the PS2? Most of the originally announced cars were shown. The Mclaren driver saves a pretty nasty tank slapper...somebody should teach me how to do that someday...:) dave henrie

Isn't this movie a year old? "Nick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I don't know. I found it on the internet, didn't know if anybody here had seen it, and posted it. Sorry for trying to be helpful, jeez. Nick.

Before I take the time/bandwidth to grab this, is this any different from the video that was floating around about a year ago? I believe that video had a Mclaren going through a chicane, skipping over the curb, and that was about it. Jason

This a quite long (couple minutes) video of a few different sports cars running around Brands Hatch (apparently). It was filmed off a monitor, so it is somewhat flickery. It is very pretty but the car motion isn't too convincing.

This is several laps starting with the Mclaren, then running short stint with the Panoz and the Mercedes/Sauber? At Brands Hatch...the original video I remember had a half lap at Monza, then he turned around and redrove the same half lap backwards...before opening a door or bonnet(can't remember EVERYthing) This may not be new, but it's not that trade-show vid. dave henrie "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > [email hidden] (Nick) wrote in messagenews:<[email hidden]>...

Do not get offended.. Personally I am glad that he mentioned this was a old movie so I did not have to go spend all that time downloading it since I have already seen it. Glad that you posted the link trying to be helpful, but do not get offended when someone else also tries to be helpful "Nick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3cb49f50$[email hidden]... > I don't know.

Nick, Even if it might be a year old, I hadn't seen this one before. Thanks for posting the link. "Nick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3cb49f50$[email hidden]... > I don't know.

I had not seen that vid b4. I thought it was the one with the missing body panels but it wasnt not, thanks alot for posting the url. I saw a mouse pointer at the selection screen, I would assume it's a PC version.. Considering the way that this sim is being developed the cost of overhead must be nearly nill. I'm willing to bet this is why its taking so long. Sure it could have a bunch of money thrown at it and do a burnout out the door, it would be just another EA "Gamulation". I have faith still.... I believe we would of heard something if it wasnt coming out... "Nick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Maybe I missed it cos I was moving house about then. It shows a couple of cars for 3 1/2 minutes on a track. Filmed with a movie camera on a pc screen. "Replay" is displayed constantly (until the end?) My impression was that cars (and other graphics) looked great, but they were being driven very cautiously. There was zero impression of aggressive driving - even when driving resulted in car going off the track. Could have been a real handful to drive hence a cautious approach to this leaked view. thanks for the link Tony

But seriously, that is a behaviour I have never seen in a sim before, but you see it a lot in NASCAR, the Aussie V8 series and other such championships (I suppose WSC cars might do it as well :-). Just as the rear of the car lightens and regains grip - it doesn't leave the road, but it's just enough to loosen it up and start drifting. The effect I mean is when the tyres regain grip and suddenly stop sliding, and you see these light, stiffly sprung cars tweaking back onto line. It means not only is the tyre grip modelled realistically, but the suspension is fully modelled as a whole bunch of wishbones with varying arm-lengths and so on, rather than just a spring/damper. I don't know if GPL is as detailed as this, as (1) it is difficult to tell with an open wheeler (very low CoG), and (2) it is extremely difficult to find a place on the GPL circuits which will loosen the car up just enough to exhibit this behaviour. It is an extremely subtle effect, and maybe it is my racing background (rather than sim programming/playing) that I notice this kind of stuff. Nick.
