PC version of Ferrari F355 Challenge or Ferrari F360 Challenge?

Has anyone heard of plans to port Ferrari F355 Challenge or the upcoming Ferrari F360 Challenge to the PC? If not, which is the best current PC game to feature a Ferrari (not an F1 Ferrari, i.e. GPL or F1 2001)? Thanks, Steve

No, but iirc you can port the sim to the PC using an emulator (Bleemcast). > If not, which is the best current PC game to feature a Ferrari (not an F1 > Ferrari, i.e. GPL or F1 2001)? Hmm... I can't recall any good simulator in my memory having a non-F1 Ferrari. Officially in the game, I mean (not a third-party add-on) NFS:High Stakes is as close as you can get, hehe. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

I'm pretty sure the Bleemcast is for the dreamcast to play PSX games (i.e. GRan Tourismo 2) Ash

NFS2 had an F355 (I think -- it's been a while since I played it.) NFS3 had an F355 as well. NFS4 (High Stakes) had an F50 and F355. Oh yeah, NFS3 (Hot pursuit) also had a 456M official add-on (free download) from EA. I'm just waiting for Ferrari Unleashed! Heheh....I'm not holding my breath, but Ferrari has licensed the use of their cars in all the other NFS games, so why not? If they could do it to the level of Porsche Unleashed, I could die a happy man ;-) Todd Walker GPLRank: +72.27 (Held back by the @#$% Ring) twalker at jam dot rr dot com http://twalker.d2g.com/gpl

Slight correction. NFS3 has a 355 Spyder and a 550 Maranello. NFS4 is NFS3 + F50, as far as Ferrari stuff is concerned. --KC

How good is NFS4? Would you recommend it? Do the graphics hold up to current games, or are they dated? Final question, if I buy NFS4 would you say it would be wortless to buy NFS3? Thanks, Steve > --KC > > >

Hi Steve, Personally, I'd try the NFS series if you want, but if you want realistic racing, then try a patched up Sports Car GT with the Ferrari 355 and 360 cars. http://mrbizkat.tripod.com/main.htm They have the whole set here. There is a bit of installing and patching to do, but there is so much out there for SCGT. Start at www.speedsims.com (when it is up) and go from there. Currently, I have just about every car possible for SCGT (over 1,300 cars) all the tracks (over 100) and it is fantastic.

NFS3 and NFS4 aren't that realistic, IMHO, but my memory may have faded for the period... > Do the graphics hold up to current > games, or are they dated? The graphics are somewhat dated, but you'd be driving so fast you wouldn't notice. :-) > Final question, if I buy NFS4 would you say it > would be wortless to buy NFS3? Yes, that's correct. NFS4 is EVERYTHING in NFS3, and more. More tracks, more cars, more race modes, modifiable cars (albeit just generic "level upgrades" like SCGT) and career racing mode. I believe there's a new EA bundle that contains NFS:HS, NFS:PU, and two other racing games (Superbike 2001 and NASCAR 2001?) for one low price now... You may pick that up and see how you like them... --KC
