GP3 carshapes'n'stuff

Well after seeing those new 3D shots (www.alphaf1.com/gp3), it's clear that all the cars are gonna be the same shape and have the same***pits. I really thought that in 3-4 years, (Sir) Crammond would have at least added individual car shapes and***pits to the game ( and I hate to point out that F1RS and GPL both have these features, F1RS being 3 yrs old and GPL over 18 mths old). oh, and I hope those shadows are gonna be less blocky in the final release. Other than those 3 points, it's looking good, especially those lighting and smoke effects, David C

Too bad the game will be outdated when released again :( at least F1 2000 will be current which e***s me a lot more than waiting through endless delays of a game which will be behind the times when it finally does see daylight. I'll definately get F1 2K as soon as its released and then maybe GP3 if the EA game is not good as far as car driving model is concerned. I bought WC, GP2 and I suppose I'll get GP3 more due to loyalty than anything else. Trev

BTW, I had the chance to drive F1-2K for a few minutes the other day. Based on that quick preview, I think people will be very happy with it. I haven't tried GP3, and so can't compare them, but I'd say F1 2K will be the best modern F1 sim to date. -- Pat Dotson IMPACT Motorsports http://www.impactmotorsports.com/pd.html

So according to that sentence... GPL was outdated of 30years? It's pointless. Whatever year I do not care. The cars were more fun to drive that year.. why not take them instead of the 1999 season? We all know that within months of it's release we'll be able to change any carsets like we had back in Gp2. Be sure that most of the file architecture will be the same. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

>> Too bad the game will be outdated when released again >So according to that sentence... GPL was outdated of 30years? This is true and is one reason why I never really got more than a casual interest in it, I cant idntify with 60s era F1 cars and drivers. It's Maybe YOU dont but I sure do and I imagine there are a lot of others that feel the same way. The cars were more fun to drive Who says so? How about an "IMO" here and there? . why not take them instead of the 1999 season? We all know that This really doesnt matter, F1 2K will have all the up to date cars and tracks when its released, this makes it more attractive to me. FYI I also stated that I'd probably buy GP3 when it is finally released, I just dont want to wait til June or July or whenever it does finally see the light of day. Trev

F1 cars don't look so different to eachother so I don't really care. All cars will handle the same and I don't really care about that either because everybody would be racing the Mclaren otherwise. About those***pits,well that's a pity. It would be nice to see the real***pits because there are a lot of differences between the teams. But hey, doesn't it look good! Compare it with screens from F12000 and F1 world grand prix. I'm sure it'll be the next F1 benchmark (ok wsc looks more promising but it ain't a F1 sim and we all know Mr. Crammond) GP2 didn't have the best graphics either when released but it has beaten everything for gameplay.

Well... that's your problem ;-D The majority of people in this newsgroup don't care about whatever year GP3 is modeled on, or don't care about how old any software actually is by modeling the year. What's the problem? Why is it wrong? It was said numberous of times by Formula 1 drivers, because of the additionnal groove and width of the car. Good for you, most of us don't care. Up to date means nothing.. it's does not make anything better or worse. The artist simply paint the cars, tracks, adds, etc.. the way they were at a specific year. That's all. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...
