Re: GP3--Short Opinion

> Here is another A-s trying to tell himself that gp3 is great, Well its >not, And f1200 >is still a better sim to drive In your opinion maybe. I personally prefer GP3 much more than F1 2000. F1 2000 just doesn't "feel" right to me. I don't know what it is. Besides, I don't really find F1 2000 at all fun. If I want pure realism, I play GPL. If I want a good, fun race with cars that behave pretty much like I would expect an F1 car to behave, I play GP3. And, "Blade", no need to be a total ass when stating your opinions. :-) ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

In all fairness, since I slagged f12k for graphics and interface, I should have given it credit in the physics department. I think f12k has a superior physics model to GP3. I won't argue with the "better sim to drive" opinion either. However, GP3 is a funner sim to drive for me. I fire it up whenever I get pissed off at GPL. Finally, what's an A-s? Does this have something to do with my GPLRank handicap?

Well, since everyone else has had something to say I'll add my two cents. First--the graphics are fine, not great but IMHO much better than f12k (5 words re f12k: make the shimmering go away--this on a v5 with 4aa). People used to the phenomenal FF from GPL will be disappointed--it took me a long time to get my LWFF to give me even half the control and immersion of GPL (FF lag is a big problem here and there are not tweaks to deal with it like in GPL)--I think the TSW crowd is better equipped here. Weather effects are great, interface is great if a bit convoluted--i ran f12k to remind me of how hideous an interface can be ("its in the game"--no, it isn't?) The physics model is very different from GPL and takes time to adjust but once you start to accept it, it is quite serviceable--albeit somewhat less immersive than GPL. As for canned spins? depends what you mean. you can catch spins quite easily but i for one can't control them. By this i mean i haven't been able to drift the car (but hey i suck at these sorts of games so talk to the experts about this one). Racing is fun and the AI cars behave quite realistically. I would rate this game pretty high in the context of what you find on the shelves these days; a definite picker upper. I think the hardcore race crowd will be a bit disappointed though as it isn't as immersive as GPL. Still, it is pretty darn fun. Chris Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
