f360 for PS2?

Haai, I will problaby get flamed for this, cause a lot of you think these sorts off games don�t belong here but i�m gonna try this anyway. Does anyone off you know if the old dreamcast F355 game or the new F360 Ferrari game will be released on the PS2, and if so when. Thanks Peter

I just recently dusted off my old copy of F355 and was appreciating just how good this game is in most respects, which had me wondering if there was going to be a sequel available at all. This game could be done quite well on a PS2. I hope that becomes the case. "peet" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:fTcq8.43$[email hidden]...

AFAIK, F360 challenge is being developed for X-box. If F355 is anything to go by, it should be a quality title.

The only reference to an F360 I've seen for the Xbox is the Thrustmaster steering wheel. Where have you seen reference to a game by the same title?

There's a news item on IGN from yesterday that F355 Challenge is being developed for the PS2: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/356/356482p1.html Internet User <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3ca9b859$[email hidden]...

That's the same opening movie from the Dreamcast version.

Todd, Have you played F355 either at the arcade or on the DC? It's terrific. The arcade version is very difficult to drive since it is SO realistic, especially using manual clutch and shifting (especially for me since I've never driven a manual vehicle). The physics model is excellent. The DC version has a slightly easier physics model than the arcade but is very realistic feeling nonetheless. Both versions of F355 feel more realistic to me than GT3. Unlike GT3, F355 doesn't have anti-lock brakes ALWAYS ON (it's an option) so you can actually lock the wheels under heavy braking. This problem alone makes GT3 a sim lite at best. The AI is much better than the non-existent AI in GT3 (not very hard to beat GT3 in this area). The only knock on F355 is the lack of damage model. I don't care so much about car deformation as I do about the penalty for crashing. Since there's no damage, crashing results in an unnatural bounce off the wall instead of a realistic impact. Spin type crashes are fine, it's hard contact that feels wrong. I'm sure it's a licensing issue regarding damage and not a programming one. Wake up auto makers, your cars do damage after impact so let's see it. ;0) Bottom line, this is the most realistic console racer I've ever driven. If they implement FF support for the PS2 that would be a great improvement. My only frustration with the DC version was that I had to use a mediocre, low tension, TM Ferrari plastic wheel and pedals. If there's FF on the PS2 I can use my Logitech GT Wheel or possible my Logitech MOMO. -- Joe Marques "Todd Walker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In article <TGiq8.10564$[email hidden]>, > [email hidden] says... > > There's a news item on IGN from yesterday that F355 Challenge is being > > developed for the PS2: > > > > http://ps2.ign.com/articles/356/356482p1.html > > The movie looks great.

THAT would REALLY transform the game, IMO. If they port it to a console, I just hope it's the XBox . . . after all, the XBox is really just a "DC2," right? ;-) -- JB

Could yesterdays date have anything to do with this? ;-) "Tex" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:TGiq8.10564$[email hidden]...

I thought about that after I posted, but the movie on the site does have some bits that aren't in the DC intro (I believe.) I guess we'll find out doon enough. Doug Hook <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:khqq8.2566$[email hidden]...

The TM wheel is just too light and mushy for such a great physics model. My TSW2 is sitting in the closet since I'm a big fan of the Logi MOMO. I'd love the use the TSW2 on a console, that would be quite an improvement. Nothing light, mushy or soft about TSW products, especially the pedals. ;0) I'm all for the xbox as the racing console IF it's compatible with the MOMO wheel or a reasonable FF wheel. Do you race on the xbox?

I have never played it but all this talk is getting me excited about it :-) -- __________________________ Todd Walker http://twalker.d2g.com __________________________

I've talked to some real life F355 owners before and they said the arcade doesn't come close to the physics and handling of the real F355.

But the odds are not very good that those F355 drivers have pushed the car as hard as you do in game. The guy who designed F355 is an F355 owner and he seems to think (after spending countless hours on a track) that the physics are quite close.
