MGI would love to make Viper Racing (2) for the PS2 is Sierra hears from us

I got this response from Dave Broske today: Hi, Yes, I'd like to see VR on the PS2 as well. Tell Sierra. They're the ones who own VR. If they wanted to do another one we'd talk to them about it of course! Dave Broske MGI It appears that the best way is to contact Sierra by snail mail. Here's the address. Let them know that you would like to see Viper Racing or Viper Racing 2 for the PS2, PC or Xbox today. Sierra On-Line, Inc. 4247 S Minnewawa Ave Fresno, CA 93725 310-649-8000 8:00am-5:00pm (PST) Monday-Friday -- "Terrorism doesn't scare me; I sprinkle Anthrax on my Corn Flakes" Galley

That's nice to hear, but I'd be more interested in MGI using that fabulous racing engine of theirs to make a Sportscar racing game for the PC or X-Box. I can't believe the publishers of F1200x get away with using that horrid looking engine time and time again. THAT is one engine that should be put out to pasture. Everytime I get a PC good enough to run one of the F1200x games with a full field smoothly (over 30fps), they release a newer game that once again chokes my PC. I wouldn't have a problem with it if it looked as good as either of the Nascar Games or MBTR or even a souped up (16-bit graphics, newer carsets) GPL!!!

They use a new engine for F12001. It looks excellent and runs very well.

And if it had a half decent multiplayer system, it could well be considered a classic. We have have bickering F1ers' here ever since Crammond first wrote World Circuit...Rarely have so many agreed about a single title like they are with F1 2001. I would suspect GP4 and F1RC 2 will have to be major upgrades to keep up...could be an interesting summer. dave henrie "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:WEp_7.362240$[email hidden]...

I was including their F1 2001 engine in my post. That's why I referred to F1 200x. That engine is just a modification of their old one and I'm sorry but it still suffers from the same problem. Too much horespower for average visuals. Does it look better than their old games? Yes. Does it compare to the newer games. No way. MGI and Papyrus have excellent engines that look great and perform even better. That's why the prospect of a Sportscar game by either company would definitely get me, and I'm sure many in this group, excited.

What kind of video card are you using? It looks nothing like the old engine, and runs far better. FPS aren't quite as high as F1RC, but are in the ballpark. N2002 is very nice, but I don't think it looks as good as F12001. I don't think there are many people here who will agree with your view on the F12001 graphics. It's about as good as they get right now in auto sims. There is also a spotscar mod out for F12001 which looks and plays great btw. http://www.madfactory.racesim.net/f1/ David G Fisher "Jeneral" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bGw_7.152385$[email hidden]... > I was including their F1 2001 engine in my post.

No, it is not a MODIFICICATION. It is a COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE...It is MUCH better then F1 2k, and does not deserve to be spoken down upon like they are the same thing. -Stuart Becktell "Jeneral" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bGw_7.152385$[email hidden]... > I was including their F1 2001 engine in my post.

No it isn't. It's a new engine, and I've been able to play all F1200x games with the same PC, a 667mhz P3 w/ a GeForce DDR. Works great with F12001, just have to get the drivers right. Also, the physics calculations are very advanced, maybe even more advanced than N4.
