F1 World Grand Prix

F1 World Grand Prix PC demo impressions

A poster asked whether the F1 World Grand Prix demo was worth downloading. Nos dismissed it as crap after five minutes compared with F1 2000, which led to a long argument with Bruce Kennewell, Jo Helsen and others about snap judgments and the value of opinions. A few posters thought its cockpit view and graphics were decent, but most leaned towards waiting for GP3.

That's amazing! I've been tweaking and racing for several hours and I am not sure about it. The graphics are better than F-1 2000, once I found an acceptable combination, and I am still not sure that I've got the best one. There is a lot to adjust, even a choice between "Arcade" and "Simulation" mode. How anyone could make up their mind about this program in five minutes and then admit it is, as I said, amazing.

OK, you want me to justify my "crap" comment. First off the front end interface reminds me too much of F1RS, which had a crap front end too. Next I couldn't customize my wheel, everytime I tried to assign the throttle to my acceleration pedal it would lock up. After rebooting three times I gave up. I set the game to full realism and used the default steering wheel set up. Which had put the brake and gas on the same pedal, even though the game recognized my wheel and pedals fine in the front end. Then I drove the sim, graphics looked way more cartoonish than F1 2000 to me. This was on full detail on a P3 @900mhz. Drove the car around for about five minutes. Felt like an arcade game to me so I quit in disgust and deleted the POS and then deleted the downloaded file knowing I would never bother even giving it a second look. Nope, this game is definately "crap". Just like their first version of F1 racing was. There is only one kind of crap and EIDOS knows how to make it. Was that good enough for you or do I have to download it again so that I can justify to *you* calling it "crap"? -- Nos

Nos, I wasn't defending the game; I just thought it amazing that you could reach that conclusion in five minutes. After spending some more time with it, I am inclined to think that you are correct, but don't you agree that some of the posters are too quick to judge? Cheers, Bill Yowell Nos wrote:

Take out opinions and RAS would be lacking in posts (and appeal). After a while each and every one of makes a judgement as to which opinions to take notice of (and there are many here). Bare facts often tell us little. How do you describe graphics and sound? What looks great to one may not appeal to another. Physics models are judged by feel. The bare facts are listed in the specs of the games (plus a load of hype). RAS provides the opinions of how those bare facts translate to gameplay, realism and comparison to other sims of a similar ilk. Unfortunately, at times these opinions become extreme and turn into a defensive justification of an opinion - which quickly become of little use to the community at large. That is human nature. Pretty much everything written on RAS is an opinion. Perhaps IMHO should be an assumption we should add TIAF (This is a fact) when quoting genuine facts. It would appear less (IMHO!) :-) Having said all that opinions ought to be backed up with some form of justification - simply saying it sucks or is crap is not very helpful advice. Although generally the justification will also be subjective. Tony "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Surely if you listen to music often it must have occured to you that sometimes it requires several hearings to appreciate it? Anyway: anyone will respect even a negative opinion, as long as it is backed up by sensible arguments. The whole point was that the opinion was extremely negative and apparently based on a very short investigation. It simply gives the impression that you weren't willing to give it an honest chance. If you don't want to invest that minimal ammount of attention, fine. But then you better not bother to post this kind of "impression" either! JoH
