GP3 : hey where are all the post ?

Hi I saw a reveiw of GP3 on Cybernetting ( TV prog ) and it showed quite a nice view of GP3 graphics especially with the wet track and all. I thought "hey it is not as bad as some say " what happened to all those post on GP3 ? Seems like the game just dropped off the radar ...

I think that the expectations of some gamers was so high for this game that it was dissappointing for those who were expecting this game to be revolutionary rather than a mere evolution from GP2. The most remarkable thing about this game I have found is that it runs at excellent and ultra smooth frame rates on even a modest system and videocard. Frame rates are high at even 1280x1024 with my old p3 600 and a Rage 128 (30 + FPS). The graphics are near photorealistic with my new Voodoo 5 5500 at 1280x1024 using 4xFSAA to smooth out every jaggie, while still maintaining a good frame rate. The game has its shortcomings, but I am less picky about somethings , as long as I get great graphics, decent physics, and good framerates. Overall I like this game.

>what happened to all those post on GP3 ? Well, in case you have not noticed, Nascar 4 has pretty much taken over this newsgroup as the new 'King" of discussion, supplanting GPL finally. For those that hate it or love it, it will likely be THE sim most debated until WSC shows up late in the year. GP3 is pretty much old news, along with alot of other decent sims from the past year. Nascar 4 seems to have staying power.

I still play GP3 almost every day. The reason that we don't see any posts is because there simply is nothing to talk about. :-)

Check the forums at www.simracingnew.com Sims like RC2000, F12000/CS and GP3 get a lot of postings while sims like GPL get almost none. Different forums get different results. David G Fisher "leong" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Go here: http://forums.simracingnews.com/cgi-bin.ultimatebb.cgi Very professionally managed bulletin board. I enjoy the game; wish I had a faster machine for the first corner of a race though, PII 400 and Voodoo 3 3000 just won't cut it! GMF "leong" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hey From what I read, I think N4 will last the most end of March After that you would hardly see any more post. Typically when a new game comes out , it would swarm the newsgp but in case of N4 , there post are very sparse.... I am not condeming the game , just the responce of the group here to N4......
