GPL Mini Review on AGN! (Say it aint so)

There's a rather unflattering review of GPL on AGN (http://www.agn3d.com/ The author seems to have some serious gripes out Graphics Quality, Framerate and control. I can only hope he's working off an early beta or something, I've been looking forward to this one for awhile, and will be very disapointed if what he says holds true. . (and yes, I'll probably buy it spite of what is written) Gary

Try the demo and judge for yourself. The demo is a very very pre-alpha copy so you can expect compatibility, drivability, and graphics to be better than what you see in the demo.

I didn't see the review anywhere, did they pull it already?

What he neglected to say was he was trying to run it on a 286 with 8 megs of RAM, using a Gravis Gamepad to practice because he is going to apply for his learner's permit next year so he can drive his mommy to the store.

P.S. The guy didn't even know how to spell BRAKE! Oh yeah, I am going to look for him for advice on racing simulations, just the fact that he slammed the greatest driving simulation of all time shows you how ignorant this guy is. Wait for a professional review, this guy will be laughed out of the room!

Wait >for a professional review, this guy will be laughed out of the room! I wouldn't mind him giving a bad review, if it was well thought out. There are probably some here who will find enough fault with GPL to rate it under something they play now, and they are more than entitled to that opinion. But this kind of crap, from some arcader, with a weak system and crappy controls, and with blatant inaccuracies is ridiculous. Ken

Actually I tried the demo and liked it. Only problems I had were with garbled sound, which from this newsgroup seems to be a common problem. I guess that's why they call it beta. In any case I really hope Papy gets it right on this one, the potential is there for a near perfect driving sim! Gary >Try the demo and judge for yourself.

I've been looking, too- I see nothing but some screenshots(pulled from the demo, if I'm not mistaken). -- Scott Moore Hoosier MotorSports [link lost in import] Sports *** Network [link lost in import: /***.com] >I didn't see the review anywhere, did they pull it already? >Mike (TEN ID:mpete) >http://www.mnworld.com >Mike's Nascar World >>There's a rather unflattering review of GPL on AGN (http://www.agn3d.com/ >>The author seems to have some serious gripes out Graphics Quality, >Framerate >>and control.
