Re: Does everybody hate GP3????(I dont)

I can't hate GP3 because I still haven't gotten GP3! I hope it arrives tomorrow... And BTW, I probably will love GP3 considering it's a lot like GP2. :) ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

It's not that we hate it. It's just that I'm tired of rehashed sims. GP3 fails in the low fps (fixed at 25fps when the computer had an occupancy of 23%!!) and multiplayer areas. If your only into single player racing then GP3 would be fine with the FPS hack. I wanted a new sim for July so I ordered Viper Racing :-D Jason. "Anders H. J�rgensen" wrote:

I am surprised to see so many negative comments regarding this game. I love it. Apart from a missing carrer-mode, (and the not-so well balanced autobrakes in rookie-mode as I have written elsewhere)it is absolutely georgeous. I think the graphics are quite good, and especially I am surprising to see that my not all to great machinery can run it quite easily in 800*600. I even think 1024*700 is a possibility, but I haven�t tried. And, as a prove of the great graphics, try taking a replay, and push the left arrow button. I think that is one hell of a great graphic performance. But most importantly, the car is as fabelous to control as GP2. .. MVH Anders H.

I certainly don't hate it. I'm getting a lot of fun out of playing it. There have been plenty of positive messages here about GP3 as well. Having said that it isn't as impressive now as GP2 was when that was released, and it hasn't reached the heights I expected it to. In particular, I think the physics, AI and some of the graphics don't quite match up to some other titles (not just GPL), but it won't stop me enjoying the game. The gameplay is there in abundance and the wet weather is excellent. It would be in the 85-90% region I guess. "Anders H. J�rgensen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It's the same structure (almost) as in GP2, but what I really like is the ability to use the keyboard in the menus. I wish, Papy would reenable keyboad navigation in their future sims. -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change to take effect.

pros: - physics (although its NOT gpl ;-) - handling (you can catch spins and slide!) - weather - nice sounds cons: - you only hear your own sounds - the ai is very stupid and aggressive - useless default setups (when will GC learn it???) - coarse grained graphics: even at 1280x1024, I can't see the apex of most turns early enough, whereas I can with F1RS/RS2/F12000 ... overall: on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give it a 8 ...

Not the best (that would be SBK) but decent, and a good sense of speed. I like the physics. I'm in control but it feels "dynamic" - if I make a mistake I can usually recover, but I pay in lost time. The weather effects are great. The user interface is horrendous, as is the controller setup. An embarrasment frankly. But I can live with that, as long as the patch the worst of the controller deficiencies. The track editor is incredible news - there will soon be a ton of tracks available. That will add huge replay value to the game. Joe McGinn _____________________ Radical Entertainment

Don't get TOO excited yet. It is released as "technology preview". Simple things are already possible, but it seems they bumped into some (computer car related) serious problems when trying to make completely new layouts. JoH

Am I the only one in F1-2000 that has problems with the white line on either side of the track? On my machine, the outline of the track seems to point towards the centre of the track around 100 meters infront of me and is blended into the track. Makes it real hard to tell what the track is doing a few hundred meters infront of you. After 50 or so laps I learned the track and all was fine from there, but in GP3, I can see where the track is going and as a consequence, the same (or similar tracks) in GP3 are much easier to get my line correct.
