Psygnosis F1 Champ Edition: New racing game?

I saw a New F1 game by Psygnosis. I almost bought it because it had a***pit view :-) Does it fix the problems with the original game? Like lack of the ability to save settings from one session to the next? -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

If you live in the USA it's called champ edition, but in Europe something else but take a look at their site: [link lost in import] Bart

The physics are supposed to be better, but if you didn't like the first one, skip this one, too! l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

I d/led a demo and the AI kept running into me every time I braked for a corner. Pass.

But who liked the original? Jerry Morelock

That was going to be my reply :-) I returned that game after 13 hours :-) I was hoping this new version was kick-ass. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >But who liked the original? >Jerry Morelock >>F1 Champ Edition is unbelievable if you like the orignal!!!!!!!! >>....Answer to ALL your questions is YES!!--and then some!! >>F1 '98 is on the way: Autumn '98...

Actual game play time was probably 1.5... I seemed to have more fun with the demo :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

>That was going to be my reply :-) I returned that game after >13 hours :-) That's about how long I kept it. Well, if it's any help, I can think of several ways the word "ass" could be used to help describe the original version. :-) On the bright side, this version couldn't possibly be *worse* than the original . . . could it? Sure isn't much being said about it, is there? And I'm not about to suggest someone run out and buy it just so they can give us a review. I don't want to be held responsible. Jerry Morelock

F1 97 , (Champ edition in the US) DON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BUY THIS GAME I recieved a copy with my Monster 3D card. The game as a sim is absolutely terrible. The***pit view is very poor , the sound is poor, and the gameplay is the absolute worst ever. It seems to have a very exaggerated reduce with speed facility on the steering, at high speed full lock on the steering wheel gives very little change to direction, whereas at low speed the slightest input from the steering gives full lock. There are very few setup options. IMO the original F1 from Psygnosis, which I had on the PSX was a more realistic sim when used with a wheel and pedals setup. The games only redeeming features are the commentaries (although they become repetitive quickly), and a fun arcade version. (But this is rec.autos.simulators) I had it installed for less than 2 hours on my PC. IMO stick with GP2 , F1rs or especially GPL ( when it's released). Ian Parker
