Ranking favourite racing sims

Sinjin asked readers to rank NFS Porsche Unleashed, Sports Car GT, Viper Racing, Grand Prix Legends and NASCAR 4. GPL topped most lists, with NASCAR 4 often second. Many posters added older favourites such as Revs, Stunt Car Racer, Night Driver and Indianapolis 500.

Okay, I'll do this. No flames, no arguements, just my opinion. NASCAR Racing (1,2,3,4) - the nock - still has Sears Point and Watkins Glen on the schedule... Should be rectified by 2005 ;) GPL - the nock - hmmm what nock? Viper Racing - the nock - mandatory career path - ie. once winning the championship you *can't* defend it. Sports Car GT - the nock - clumsy interface NFS didn't rate because I don't have it. Sinjin wrote:

My ranking: 1. Grand Prix Legends. A manly mans racing sim, OK? 2. NFS: Porsche Unleashed. I can smell hot metal, burning oil, rubber, sweat and dust when I play this one. Fun-fun-fun! 3. Viper Racing. A very "focused" sim, obviously. Intense racing, insane AI. A lot of untapped potential. 4. Sports Car GT. Varying framerates drive me crazy. OK physics. 5. Nascar 4? Haven't played it yet... /petern

Well, ... 1) GPL, ... (and GPL, GPL, and GPL ...!!) 2) N4 demo is good, I'm eagerly waiting for the whole thing... should be coming to my nearest post office soon..., The cars and series (Nascar) are not very close to me, but I'm waiting, what Noonan & al. can do... 3) F1RC demo is promising, but I don't know yet, what will it be? 4) GP3 and F1CS2000 are not bad; hard to compare, both have sunny sides... 5) Viper R. is good, and so is SCGT. Nothing more. Arto

Hmm... might be hard cuz some are close, but... 1. GPL 2a. NFS:PU 2b. Nascar Heat 4. DTR Sprint Cars 5. Monster Truck Madness 2 (great online action) 6. Midtown Madness 1 or 2 (on LAN with my kids ;) 7. Nascar 4 (I'll race it to join the crowd, but ....) 8. GP3 (It's not great, but I like it better than the other F1 games and sometimes I'm in the mood) 9. .... I'm really anxious for WSC! I hope it's not disappointing. I expect good graphics and frame rates on a high end computer. It can be done, and it should be. There's also no excuse for poor physics and FF.

ok, if we are going to honor some oldies. Stunt Car Racer Amiga version by Geoff Crammond of GP3 fame. Few games have had induced similar emotions while playing. e.g Drop dead fear of falling off (literally) the track. balancing speed and chassis damage, flinging the car into corners and hoping that the banking and suspension will absorb the lateral forces and keep you on the track. and the juuuuummmmpppps.. woohoo!. Revs C64 Version (by same author. The "first" decent racing sim in my opinion. Came out about 3 or 4 years before F1GP. Had only 2 circuits. Siilverstone and Brandshatch(in the second version). Graphics were limited to the road and some catch fences. Excellent realism and years before anyone else had attempted such realism. Outrun Arcade (just for the wow factor) I still remember ducking the first time I went under the pillars or something on level 2. Also remember trying to stand taller to see over the next hill. Amazing how quick the arcade "stunning" graphics start to look dull. Especially now that we can see the emulated versions side by side. POD 2 - Father of some of the most competitive online racing i ever did. If you look at the best laps around the world. Milliseconds seperated the top times, much like it is today with GPL. Before all the other sims did it better, this "arcade" game made shaving milliseconds off rewarding. Also its the first racing game I played with seamlessly fast internet gaming with zero frame-rate / lag problems on my modem. Its funny that they (ubisoft) couldn't make a sim as good in its class as Pod was in the arcade mould. I discovered Pod a year after its release and was amazed how well it had aged. I'd still play it today if it worked with my Geforce. Another thing, why don't pc's games implement ghosts better? Pod let you race your top 5 ghosts. It was interesting to see how different lines for the different ghosts added up to similar lap times. You could see which lines were faster for each portion of the track. Also swapping ghosts on the internet was very easy to do, sort of like the hotlaps system we have today on gpl. and finally. Indy 500 Papyrus's original masterpiece. It came from nowhere and dominated the field for years. I was still playing it well into the Indycar "era". There was just something special about playing a game without qualifying and trying to work your way through the field into first. I think the main contributionsIndy500 made to the genre are the AI and the excellent replays. I think I still have a zipped copy of my biggest crash somewhere. I played the amiga version first. It was actually very playable with a mouse. I guess I clocked the most hours on the pc version though. crappy adlib sound and all. Bottom line. GPL roolz. >4. Night Driving (Atari 2600)black and white with white dots coming at you :) an arcade game converted to atari, i believe. >5. Stunt Driverthe first 3d polygon game with a decent shelby mustang. :) Not bad, but the more friendly 4d stunts was better in my view.

Even better, Revs+ supported joysticks!!! Allthough some clever people made a patch for the original Revs to support joysticks even before Revs+ was released. Andre >Cheers, > >/Martin >

Didn't have that patch. But Revs+ must have been the first sim I "hacked". I changed the driver names, and if IIRC correctly they were encrypted for some reason. Just as F1RS. Cheers, /Martin

Mind you, there's very few programmers who have as good a track record as mr crammond. I suppose you would have to include Dave Kaemer in that class as well. these days though, developing is a team thing and the individual programmers shouldn't really be singled out to the exclusion of the other contributors(IMO). regards all.

Ahh, memories. Indy 500 was the sim that got me hooked. I had never finished (and won) a full length race, and couldn't seem to survive the crazy AI cars. In desperation, I logged on to Compuserve Gamers Forum and plaintively asked if *anyone* was playing Indy500. I got a reply from a very helpful guy who calmly explained how to survive the AI and win the race. He and I became online friends for a few years, but lost touch later as I toned down my involvement, and he went on to become a bigshot in the sim field. That guy's name was Matt Sentell, who I think was still in high school at the time! He was just about the smartest, most thoughtful, most knowledgable racing fanatic I have ever met, and it was his dream to do a sim about 60's era Formula One. I shouldn't have to tell anyone how that one turned out! ...Ron <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I got the kick of Icr2 finally about 3years ago when I "caught it". I finally got out the driving-on-ice mentality and totally went into it. I race it in it's own virtual world where reality is different, for me Icr2 is 100% realistic in it's own world. I mastered Icr2.

Sorry. Only truck racing sims I heard of are NASCAR Craftsman Trucks for N2/3 (and possibly N4/NH). Wait, I have seen this series. Hard to believe anyone would race a semi- and do it on a road course. You couldn't get me to do it. I don't really enjoy roadies (unless in a F1 car). Come to think of it, it's okay in a sports car as well. Something *designed* to turn right.
