SCGT or TOCA2?

To those who have played both, which has better AI and which has better physics (SCGT or TOCA2)? TIA Adam

On Wed, 07 Jul 1999 15:51:57 GMT, In my opinion, of course: Both have good AI, with the edge going to TOCA2. Both have a fairly good physics model, with the edge going to SCGT. -Overall-, I personally enjoy TOCA2 more than SCGT, but thats just my preference. My suggestion is to buy both. -- * rrevved at mindspring dot com * unit.26 - s.p.u.t.u.m. * http://www.cabal.net * http://www.sputum.com

> To those who have played both, which has better AI and which has >better physics (SCGT or TOCA2)? Both seem to have AI that's not brilliant, but I find SCGT's less irritating. As for driving - I could never get away with the handling model in TOCA. The FFords were funky, but nothing else felt right to me at all. And even with 2 in-car views, I wasn't happy with either - bobbing head or sitting on the centre console... I'm glad I just borrowed it the game. I bought SCGT, though, and haven't regretted that. Driving (with the advanced options download - which you -need- and can get for the demo) feels far more 'right', the handling more believable. The entire package has a few flaws, but the driving experience overall is good. Plus you get to drive rewarding tracks like Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca and Sebring. Maybe you get to unlock good international tracks in TOCA, but I didn't get that far. Beware - SCGT is more of a hardware hog. TOCA2 has a lot of followers and I don't remember reading a review that wasn't a rave. I've read plenty of decidedly average reviews of SCGT but I prefer it by far. Go, as they say, figure. TOCA2 - more gamey, SCGT more simmy perhaps? That's how I feel anyway, and might explain game mag reviews... Try the demos, then decide for yourself - that's the best bet. Mark Reading, UK

I have Toca2 and the demo of SCGT and I thing Toca2 is much better overall Toca2 opponents are a bit to easy in hardest level the physics of SCGT are OK but I have the sensation of a NFS with gt cars, the sound is crappy, very few views to drive (Toca2 bonet is my favorite). It has a neutral in the gears and a lot more car configuration than Toca2

SCGT has better ai : more aggressive SCGT has better physics : you can download the patch fron isi and the advanced option editor. SCGT : best graphics TOCA2 : Funny but only with a pad or keyboard(don't use a wheel) TOCA2 : Visual damages TOCA2 : the graphics are ugly. SCGT : there are many cars available for download and some people tries to editing car shapes and tracks. SCGT : you can download new sounds and new***pits SCGT : you manage your career(buy your car,upgrade it with the money you earn) I personnaly prefer SCGT because it's more a simulation and all the downloads available have made it a great game and corrected its default.It's the most beautiful sim with ea superbike but less realistic than gpl. TOCA2 looks more like a console game : easier with a non analog controller and the graphics make you think you have plugged you video card to your TV.But he's very funny. The both are also very funny to play with multiplayer mode. What's your choice ? > To those who have played both, which has better AI and which has > better physics (SCGT or TOCA2)? > TIA > Adam

I've just rented Toca 2 for the PSX, and it's not half as good as I remember it being on this platform. MUCH better on the PC! Thomas Ford "Please remove NOSPAM from e-mail address to reply"

It rocks with a wheel! Joystick and keyboard can't come close! Not on the PC version they're not. Especially not when supported by a 3D accerator. Can't you do the same for TOCA 2? Which is a tad unrealistic, don't you think? And what about those appauling views in SCGT? Thomas Ford "Please remove NOSPAM from e-mail address to reply"

No. Their teams do it for them. ;-) Thomas Ford "Please remove NOSPAM from e-mail address to reply"

Semantics. <g> The racing 'entity' still has to earn their keep, so to speak. Eldred __ Put your message in a modem, and throw it in the ***-sea... remove SPAM-OFF to reply.
