RAS Ripped in PC Gamer

7 posts by 5 people · 12 Apr 1998 - 15 Apr 1998

They also didn't give CPR the best review, it got a 79%. But what astonishes me, is not one of the reviews in the mags I read have mentioned that this "simulator" didn't have yellow flags, random weather, realistic AI, or control. I think some of them have mentioned frame rate once or twice. t>...

In its latest issue I think. They were reviewing F1RS and commented that MS CPR was unjustly trashed in USENET. BTW, they really liked F1RS--think it got a 90 rating. Dan P. _______________ Remove 99 in my address to reply

Dan P. wrote LOL. Who wrote the article ? Can you please tell us his e-mail ? I think that most of us had some good reasons to trash C:PR. Sure some people went over the line, but the bad words are justified by a bad game IMHO. The worst thing that they done was to hype the product at that point. I think Microsoft's C:PR road has soo many bad things that it's funny at the end. Let's see... Remember the Beta CD's of C:PR. They told us that the first50 would have the game only. But it appeared on more sites than we tought, and we had to fill something also. I think the answers to them (like "Witch browser do you use") had an impact on who got it and who didn't. Or maybe all those PR people who went here and got trashed. It took some time before they said they would work on a patch. All the hype for the track editor, who finally went online the day I woke up the r.a.s. people about it. The Glide patch who was intentionally hidden from us so we would have to use D3D instead. There is too many of them to list, I'm sorry. Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s.

That happens all the time, esp. with sim reviews. In a German mag Longbow2, to most sim heads a jewel, received only a luke warm review. In contrast, CPR received a seperate review booklet with all the marketing hoopla.

LOL, anyone know why 2 trolls come here at the same time ? (Mr. Mak and him). Btw, why are you on the USENET Mr.Not ? Isn't the Usenet supposed to be a way to discuss your opinions. We all know here (and it's a fact proven since many years) that PC Magazine's racing reviews aren't always very neutral, and tend to mislead many "rookies", in a search of a realistic or arcade racing title. Most of them are influenced by numbers of factors. Those reviewers normally aren't really some hard-core SimRacers, but all-around game lovers who have a limited knowledge of racing physics. I can recall only Randy Magruder, who IMHO is the only trustful website/PC Magazine reviewer (well, maybe with Mrs. Allison also). Each of them have a very good knowledge in racing simulators. But Mr. Not, what do you know about racing simulators ? For the second time I ask you what are your present and pass racing experience, virtual or in real life. Maybe you should lurk a little bit more here and read the FAQ, it's seems that troll aren't very well accepted (for very obvious reasons). Not that I'm against you, people can change, I really understand that. I'm the type of people who gives a second chance to many people. It's up to you to show that you have your own valid opinions and thoughts here about racing simulators (this is still rec.autos.simulators, not alt.flame).
