New F1RC Screenshots

http://www.gamestar.de/aktuell/ggalerie.php?bildname=../aktuell/galerie/2001 01/f1rac/f1rc&bildanzahl=49&seite=1&name=F1%20Racing%20Championship There are a number of sims with fantastic graphics, but just based on these screenshots I think Ubi Soft may be about to give us the best yet. Amazing. I've always thought Ubi had some of the best graphic artists since I first was wowed by POD about four years ago. And yes, I know the physics MUST be bad because it's not made by Papyrus, and it's definitely "no GPL", and all that blabiddy blah be blabbidy blu. We must remain extremely pessimistic.

The link I gave doesn't work.

I'm enthusiastic of the new game engine's capabilities, but F1RC is not the end-of-all sims, it was not made for that. It's pretty much an semi-serious game with simulation elements. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- People think it must be fun to be a genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

>"David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote > The link I gave doesn't work. It works David, it's just too long and OE cuts it. It's normal, just copy/paste the second part and they will load correctly. Of course, my previous message wasn't negative, I don't want the end-of-all modern F1 sim. It's not important for me at the moment. >http://www.gamestar.de/aktuell/ggalerie.php?bildname=../aktuell/galerie/2001 > > 01/f1rac/f1rc&bildanzahl=49&seite=1&name=F1%20Racing%20Championship -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- People think it must be fun to be a genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Yes, very nice looking indeed. But, why do I never see any screen shots showing the view from in the cockpit? -- Jagg

There is no pure "cockpit", it's a dynamic process by Ubisoft that will give you around a dozen camera views different. You pickup the best one, every information should be available for you. The low shots you see are actually the cockpit ones on that page, there is about 5 other series of pictures. Yes, the cockpit is poor. Yes, it looks like the one in PowerF1. The guys doing the CART HEAT patch should send their cockpit art to Ubisoft. Now *THAT* is quality. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- People think it must be fun to be a genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

I haven't seen any cockpit shots from CH yet. Were they on champcar.net? I'm torn. I have Heat, I have F1cs. Which one will make the better champcar port???? dave henrie "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Tk1e6.163451$[email hidden]...

I've been reading that the final cockpit shots haven't been shown anywhere yet. The one's we've seen are just temporary until the finals are finished. Not true? David G Fisher "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Tk1e6.163451$[email hidden]...

That's what I read a couple of days ago, too. If UbiSoft takes all the good points of GP3 and improves on it's bad points (the announced features at least promise all of that!), F1RC will be very good, indeed!

Ditto... Though I don't like agreeing with either of you <g>, I must admit I'm mildly excited by the prospect too. At the very least it *looks* 3D accellerated. Jan. =--- Ronald Stoehr wrote...

I've played the dreamcast version and the physics don't seem to have moved forward that much from MGPRS the graphics are very nice though but the cars don't look right, the tyres are too skinny and the cars too wide like the pre 99 cars.

I won't be buying it if it is. What's the processor used in the Dreamcast? Maybe it doesn't have enough juice to do the calculations for a realistic physics model and the PC version will be different. Hoping anyway. -- Jagg
