Re AMA Superbike: Give it Time

9 posts by 8 people · 29 Sep 1999 - 29 Sep 1999

I for one will not give it any more time as i have got my hands on GP500 from Microprose..and it is AWESOME,no need to give GP500 time,it is AWESOME straight out of the box. Also SBK 2000 is only just around the corner,have you seen the screenshots?..it looks ***y Fantastic... With these two awesome bike sims..who the hell would want AMA superbike.?????? MHO of course(and many others)

having only run the demos of GP500 and SBK2000, I can say the "looks" of 2000 may be nice but it really has the feel of a tunnel racer. Now GP 500(especially in the handlebar mode) really gives a good feeling of racing. I'm reserving judgement on AMA. dave henrie

Yet another person has seen the light. GP500 is indeed wonderful.

I definitely share your opinion Simon. The GP500 crew did it right by getting the demo out well in advance. The rest of you can look forward to the next 1/2 baked Motorsims release (if they're lucky). You showed them they could get away with it. Rich

SBK2000 is not Castrol Superbike 2000! SBK2000 is EA's upcoming bike sim seen here: [link lost in import] There's no demo available yet of SBK2000. The demo you're speaking of is of this game seen here: [link lost in import] which is another complete joke of a motorcycle games just like AMA.

: With these two awesome bike sims..who the hell would want AMA : superbike.?????? Online racers who appreciate the effor that Motorsims is putting into the online side of things. One need only look to the posts from ex-TEN racers who are frustrated with the "new improved" online in N3. If the online play works the way they claim, there will be a lot of happy customers. Maybe not you, but I don't imagine that matters. Stephen

Not only the online but also just the fact that its AMA. There are many that love the idea of having tracks like Willow Springs ;-) Motorcycle racing sims will not be truely complete till we have GP, WSB & AMA. Would the Cart guys be happy with just F1 & Nascar? -- Mike www.aloha.net/~flying sorry about the fake reply address < Tired of Spam> real folks can e-mail me at flying<at>aloha<dot>net > : With these two awesome bike sims..who the hell would want AMA > : superbike.?????? > Online racers who appreciate the effor that Motorsims is putting into the > online side of things.

Agreed that it's nice, but as with anywhere else in the business world results shout where efforts whisper. Cheers! John
