Ever played GPL? Oh, and be carefull with the word "game" here... Remco

Remco, Note that he didn't say 'the most realistic'. He said 'the best', and in my book one big part of a racing... game's greatness is decided by its accessibility. GPL certainly doesn't fare well in that cathegory. -- Ari Nieminen Remove .NOSPAM from my e-mail address when replying.

Heh, you want to play it that way....<g> I never said GPL is the best or most realistic racing game. (I think it is). I just asked if he ever played it..... Remco

Agree GP2 is the best racing "GAME" ever, but GPL is the best racing "SIMULATION" ever............

I'll do you one better. GPL is the best driving Simulation ever. GP2/TOCA2 (i prefer toca2) is the best RACING simulation ever. Z. Please remove NOSPAM from my email address when replying.

No... GPL is the best simulation of DRIVING a racing car but GP beats it in terms of RACING ;) M

Yep IMO GP2 is still my fav..... best driving, best crashing, best circuits, best editors, best multiplayer (where I have been playing for 3 seasons now, I love it, my friend, my brother and I, you race for 4 or 5 laps and then the other two drive and the computer takes over for you.) Yes! I hope GP3 is GP2 + 3dfx + random weather + Calender & carset editor for year selected) etc That would be super........... GPL is ok also (different is its own way) Ben Summers

I don't know, the racing in GPL is pretty damn sweet. It simulates driving -and- racing better than anything I've seen. TOCA has more action packed races and I guess to many people it's considered more fun because of this, but it's way out on actually simulating what top flight racing is about IMHO. I'll amend this, I think - TOCA simulates nicely the 5 minute highlights of a particularly shoddy BTCC event... Mark Reading, UK Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.

That is just too primitve and you will lock out the best cards (TNT2/G400). Not to mention customers. BTW, when GP3 is released the cards I mentioned will (probably) be surpassed by new ones. TF

I hear this a lot. It's not a point of view I particularly agree with (mind you I've not played GP for a -long- time), but I'm interested in what other people's definition of 'racing' is - in the automobile sense of the word, of course. For me, in the simplest terms, the object of a race is to be the first person to get to the checkered flag (well, duh). The thing is, there is -so- much more to it than that. You've got a bunch of drivers at a similar level, driving cars that have fairly close performance. As Murray Walker so often says, catching up is one thing, getting past is another matter altogether. If, when racing, you want constant ding dong battles, games that artificially bunch up cars and alter performance characteristics as you go offer more fun - more dicing (I'm -not- suggesting GP does this, BTW). If, on the other hand, you want an idea of what racing drivers -actually- have to deal with - driving a car on the limit, trying keep lap times up to catch that guy who's running 1.5s up the road but 0.2s a lap slower than you, while trying to be defensive to keep the dude who's 1s back and distracting you in your mirrors... Got to be GPL for me. Miss that braking point because you were distracted momentarily by the stricken Lotus and your race hopes go up in smoke. That's a sim. Needs utmost concentration and in, IMHO is utterly absorbing. But, hey, that's me! Mark Reading, UK Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
