GPL: Might strong head

8 posts by 7 people · 04 Nov 1998 - 05 Nov 1998

-- I was playing around with the latest demo of GPL and managed to flip the racing car. The strangest part is how the driver's head can support the sheer weight of the metallic beast. Is this true in the retail version, or do we actually get the see a smashed head or a flying body? Sounds morbid? Afraid so, but I'm all for realism. :) George

When the car's is upside-down, it is resting on the roll-bar, not the driver's head.

Oh and if you set your clock on October 31st... the heads will be replaced by pumpkins ! (it's a Easter-egg). <btw, for those oldies this is a Gp2 r.a.s. old joke> - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

Not only will you be able to see meat-chops flying around, but those bloddy traces will stay on the track as long as the whole session lasts. Needless to say that, in case of fire, you can hear the driver scream in horrendous pain as the skin on his head slowly shrinks until, well, until it rips and the burned meat lays open...

True, in the German version the driver is replaced by a robot bleeding oil... l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

: In the retail version, you can actually watch his teeth popped out, : one by one, as his open, bleeding, inverted mouth scrapes across : the pavement. I hope you're not trying to be sarcastic. Since I found no smiley faces or grinning characters, I gather this really happens in the game? I am really serious about my post. For a sim that sports the "most realistic" 1967 racing experience, it is really lame to see a driver's head being able to support this ***'s equivalent of a go-cart. George
