Disgraceful N2003 preview

Guys, Have a read of this 'preview' of N2003 and look at the comments made by the general public. http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=8426&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 Let him have it. What a disgrace. massivechicken

Whatever man, not everyone is gonna think the same thing about every game. Even if his review is a little ignorant to you, it's a perfectly legitimate review for others with the same mind-set towards gaming.

whats even worse is that his pro race driver review says "PRD is for racing fans who dont want to play more than 20 laps" and "PRD is the best racing game ever" Geez, where do they get this guy? I'll bet he drives some really crappy car and hates Manual gears!!

I dunno, I expect people who preview games to at least read the included documentation before wasting multiple paragraphs bitching about missing features that aren't really missing. Personally I could care less if he likes/dislikes it, I just find the repeated factual errors to be pathetic. OTOH, his preview is about in line with every other review/preview I've ever read on that site. Jason

That's what I'm sayin'. If people can continue to read this guy's review, then they probably aren't gonna find the features either :) So, his review is relevant to those people.

I was willing to read his review with tolerance and let him have his opinions. After all, when he starts talking about keyboard steering it becomes pretty clear where he comes from and which clientele he's writing for. When he then began to criticise the sound I thought yeah right, pure realism in this field isn't everybody's loaf of bread and I thought he's going to start talking about the in-car engine sounds for example. But then he says the crash sound is no good - ouch <g> I think we just need to accept that he was writing for a clientele whose requirements are very far away from ours (however mixed ours may be). But it would be good if such reviewers would define and describe their target group more clearly. The heat he's taking over on that worthplaying site is justified, as apparently, they put up a review that was absolutely not suited to _their_ clientele.

I don't know. I read the review, and his thoughts on the sound / graphics issue not withstanding, I didn't think it was that bad. He says that you need a wheel to play this sim correctly, to have a chance at having a good time. You know what? He's right. When was the last time you recommended a sim to someone without adding..."Do you have a wheel? You really need to get a wheel to enjoy this sim...really cheap too!" And in the end of the review he flat out states that if you want a racing game this in not for you, move on...but if you wanta "GAME THAT TAKES THE SIMULATION ASPECT AS FAR AS IT CAN GO"...then this is the one. Not so bad, I think. Okay...let the flaming begin (ducking)

Ah, but in Pro Race Driver he also mentions the "rear windshield". Ummm..... what is a rear windshield, anyway? Maybe it's only on cars that go really, really fast in reverse. -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com "Ferrari_Corsa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Sf00a.70329$[email hidden]... > whats even worse is that his pro race driver review says "PRD is for racing > fans who dont want to play more than 20 laps" and "PRD is the best racing > game ever" > > Geez, where do they get this guy?

No, he doesn't say "This game needs a wheel to get the most out of it". He says "This game is crap because it requires a wheel to control." BIG difference, IMO. > And in the end of the review he flat out states that if > you want a racing game this in not for you, move on... > but if you wanta "GAME THAT TAKES THE SIMULATION ASPECT > AS FAR AS IT CAN GO"...then this is the one. > > Not so bad, I think. It's a cop out... the review should have started with that sentence and gone on to what makes NR2003 a great simulation or not. He starts of with a premise which doesn't apply to NR2003 and then goes on to lambast NR2003 for not living up to it. That's not reviewing, that's badmouthing. > Okay...let the flaming begin (ducking) Tell me when you're medium rare. <g> Jan. =---

He was aiming all the points at novices to the genre, not you anoraks. Obviously, you want to keep the game completely to yourself and let no one else take part. It's always the same with you muppets. No wonder Papyrus won't be making Nascar 2004.

I totally agree. We don't want dipshits like that showing up to our public network games. Let him and the other children that are more intrested in the virtual bending of sheetmetal play with their Playstations. D

Lol. David G Fisher

When he stated you only have cockpit view and can only look left and right I figured he stopped at about a 1/4 lap because his keyboard was too hard to control :) "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > "redTed" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:b1ru7a$16a2l1$[email hidden]... > > > > "jon" <[email hidden]> wrote in messagenews:2ge0a.5768$pR.4150@FE06...

Nothing wrong with that line. Lines like "Nintendo graphics look better" are what I can't understand, especially since he said he was running it at 1600x1200x32 with full bells and whistles at high FPS. "redTed" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b1rj73$16q8j4$[email hidden]...

No, bogus "previews" full of blatant inaccuracies will do a lot to keep novices away from the genre. The previewer is a moron and any site that would employ someone like that doesn't deserve to have developers send them press copies. Kyle
