New GP3 screenshots <drool mode : ON>

http://www.futurenet.com/pcgamer/games/game_shots.asp?item_id=2209&vti=p The middle screenshot is obviously from GP2, but wow. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... "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."

Looks like it could have great graphics, but what PC system will it need to run smooth with all cars. When GP2 came out, I had a fast PC for the time and the game ran a bit slow with all graphics and car. If the driving physics of GP3 are at least as good as GP2, then I will play it even if I can only run a few cars with these graphics. Cant wait!

Oh wow++. This release is going to be a long wait. :-( Galadryl

I don't get it. It may look pretty, but surely if the physics engine is virtually the same as GP2, then whats the point. It will be effectively GP2.5 or GP2+ Surely the real reason to buy this sim is if the physics are more realistic than its predecessor. Since GPL came out, nothing has got close. GP3 must be at the same level. Shame that won't happen because 'arcade' drivers will moan its too hard. GP3 will also sell even if the physics aren't that different, just because of the name. Ohh well, my opinion :) Gavin www.sharknose.freeserve.co.uk to run smooth with all cars. When GP2 came out, I had a car.

How come every screenshot we get from GP3 are taken from Monaco ? is this the only track the have finished ? Frank [...]

Very pretty but why do we always see ***y Monaco when these "first shots" are published?!! to run smooth with all cars. When GP2 came out, I had a car. If the driving physics of GP3 are at least as good as > GP2, then I will play it even if I can only run a few cars with these graphics.

I just want a modern F1 sim that has more realistic physics than the UBIsoft tittles. If Papy does a modern F1 sim with the GPL engine and the car feels like a modern car with downforce and stiff suspension (actually I would really like it with early 80's cars that had big tires and no ground effects), then I might like it better than GP3. I just want something with modern graphics and better physics than the Ubisuck games. Lutrell :-) DSR # 74 http://insideracingtechnology.com/dsr1.htm

I find the visual image of the steering wheel turned but the front wheels pointing straight ahead worse than the old missing front wheels. Do it right, Crammond! Jeff (no drool here)

I cant wait either, the graphics look great! I guess there is no chance of the malaysia track being on there too is there? i saw a screen shot showing an Arrows car all in black DANKA livery does that mean we wont have Bar on the original team lineup? Will the game be for the 98 season or the 99 season? i have a P3 500 with voodoo3 3000 do you think that will be enough horsepower? LOL:-)

Why is it that, no matter which direction the steering wheel is pointing, the front tires always look like they are pointing straight?

Solution! Take that damn worthless steering wheel out, you already have one in your hands. How many are necessary? Make the tires turn and shitcan the steering wheel. Paul > Why is it that, no matter which direction the steering wheel is pointing, > the front tires always look like they are pointing straight?

I thought that maybe it was a wide angle view that made the wheels look toed in so that when the car is turning, the inside wheel looks straight ahead. Also I never really thought of how difficult it must be reading a dash on the wheel that tilts. Lutrell

No, not complaining, my favorite sims, GPL&VR, both have steering wheels. My point was, who many do you need? When I drive a real car I have one in my hands and that appears to be enough, I sure don't need anoither superimposed on the dash. Paul > Oh no, GPL complaint deja-vu....! > Cheers! > John

1998 season.

ROTFL. Missed that one before...hehe. :)

>Very pretty but why do we always see ***y Monaco when these "first shots" >are published?!! Especially ironic since Monaco was the most undrivable track in GP2 due to the FPS demands of all that scenery. It wasn't until very late in the life of GP2 where I actually had the CPU horsepower to drive Monaco without dealing with 100% processor occupancy or having to drive it with graphics that looked like F1GP1. Lets hope GP3 works better on the average PC Platform when released than it's predecessor did. I want to be able to drive Monaco right from day 1 :-) Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva GPL Ferrari driver. Powerslide Racing Team - GMSS League F1 division.

>Solution! Take that damn worthless steering wheel out, you already have one in >your hands. How many are necessary? Make the tires turn and shitcan the >steering wheel. Paul Personally I like the wheel onscreen as in GPL, when it wiggles it helps me to see that the front tires are at the limit of adhesion, when it's turned and my wheel is straight up, it tells me that I've damaged my front suspension/steering. If anything make the visible wheel a toggle in the prefs. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva GPL Ferrari driver. Powerslide Racing Team - GMSS League F1 division.

For people in the UK, these are the shots that have been in UK magazines recently. M

Whats your source? Give us one or stop putting everything down 'cause its not GPL.

I think its really to show that if Monaco looks good in a game then the rest of the tracks should be good. Since so much (close up)detail has to go into Monaco, I'd say thats the reason.

Well the game is 98 but a black arrows doesn't mean 98, have you watched any 99 GP's? hehe, anyway, I think it will be 98.

The 1999 livery for Arrows is back at the back and orange (primarily) at the front in deferance to Repsol, who are Pedro De La Rosa's backers. M
