Check http://www.cdmag.com quote: 'The biggest challenge for the game is that it is trying to provide great arcade driving action with a realistic simulation "feel". A difficult task, to be sure.' Makes me a bit worried....

From what I've heard from everyone one else... including some fortunate few who've seen and played the alpha\beta... they say its all sim, with the same help features as you'll see in GP3 to make it easier for the wusses.

EA are known for their arcade titles, but as far as I can tell, F1 2000 will be very much a simulator. Whether or not they'll botch it up in the end and stick with their usual arcade style of things only time will tell, but keep your fingers crossed that they don't do what they know best, this time.

Sports Car GT wasn't made by EA, it was made by another company and EA sold/produced it. All the physics was done by someone else. -- -Brett http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Alien/9030/ The Confession's of Ezekiel: A modern day Vampyre Goodbye Greg Moore 1975-1999 "I will see you at the front, and wish me luck..." - Greg Moore > On Fri, 11 Feb 2000 22:28:22 +0000, robswindells > >"E.

Both SportsCar GT and F1 2000 are done by Image Space Inc. EA is just a publisher. EA did tone down the physics of SCGT fearing the mass market would find it too difficult, but they're not doing that with F1-2000. They spent alot of money to get the F1 license and they want a ultra realistic product to go head-to-head with GP3...
