GPL IS STILL KING!

Like I said a couple months back, GP3 is just GP2 with a facelift. It might be the best modern F1 sim out there but it still doesn't even come close to reigning king of racing simulation, GPL. I've played the warez version and find it just as good as all the others out there, but if I really want to race on my computer I boot up GPL still. GP3, nothing but hype! I guess we'll just have to wait till World Sports Car comes out since Crammond just took a big shit and out came GP3. Vintook

So good music is only music that sells well ? :P -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

That was not the intention, and i'm sorry if i did. Actually, looking at my comment again, I see it didn't quite fit in as I hoped to. :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

Attacking a poster's use of words seems to reveal the lack of a real point pertaining to the subject. Stick to the topic or don't type anything. That would at least unclutter this newsgroup a little. Yes I realize responding to you just cluttered it further. Vintook "Kevin Gavitt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hs1f5.14195$[email hidden]...

We should stop comparing GPL, GP3, WSC etc. They are all kings in a different kingdom (actually, I prefer president in a different republic). It is impossible to compare a no-aerodynamics, threaded narrow tire 400 BHP low-tech carsim to a winged, wide-tire 800+ BHP high-tech car sim to a winged closed-wheel 1000 kg 1000 BHP sportscar sim and say which is best. It's almost as ridiculous as comparing FIFA 2000 to Roland Garros tennis grtngs, HGRM "Vintook" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bzVe5.4539$[email hidden]... > Like I said a couple months back, GP3 is just GP2 with a facelift.

At the end of the day, its success will be measured based on sales, and will be crowned on that criteria alone. GPL is the reigning king crowned by the minority, unfortunately. It's a superb simulation, but out of reach to your average racer. This is where GP3 will excel. The market is driven by sales, and as such, you're more likely to see a GP4 than you will a GPL2. ;( So which one really is king? Time will tell. Cheers, Rod.

I'm sorry, but reading my post again I see nothing but praise in it. Perhaps you misunderstood me. So, let me try to rephrase it in more poitive terms. Ok? How about; Vintook took a big shit and out came GPL IS STILL KING! ? Better? I'm not sure I do your fine words justice, but I shall endeavor to learn.

There's no direct correlation between a good and product and a successful product. Nowhere did I say or imply that GP3 was good. (especially considering I've yet to play it) - yet, I called GPL superb. When you see the monthly PC charts, what's it based on? Sales. When you see Top 40 music charts, what's it based on? Sales. What simulation is more likely to generate a sequel? The ones that sell well. Don't put words in my mouth. Cheers, Rod.

Both games needs a good ballistic model for the ball based on the laws of Newton :P -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying
