or "Excuse me, you owe me £30 for that POS GP3!" I bet he'd run a mile :) Gerry

From the place he got his book "Direct 3d For Dummies" He really should get round to reading it Doug

Does GP4 still have split-multiplayer, where one driver sits after the other and has 10 seconds to change seat? -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

That was a great idea.. in GP1... however in these days you expect to have descent online multiplayer, you expect that with a 1.2ghz/gf3 that you can run just about all details in hi-res at a acceptable framerate, but perhaps Geoff isnt in these days. I feel bad that everyone bags his work nowdays, but its only because its bad, not because anyone hates him..

This is a favourite from the readme for GP4 Network play: "2. The game can support 22 players, but only if all players are running on high specification machines. This is to future proof the game." Future proof of what? :) "This is to make sure that the game will run like an old dog even on your system in 2030" ? "Kendt Eklund" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

You assume they had brains to begin with! ;) Gerry

Why the hell it's taken this long to finish is totally beyond me. GP1 -> GP2 was a huge leap, no doubt. GP2 -> GP3 was a minor upgrade, mainly in graphics. GP3 -> GP4 has added animated pit crews, some lame radio voices, and practically nothing else. And to top it all off the graphics are at best marginally better than GP3, yet they demand twice the machine. He would've been better off spending a few weeks patching away the bugs (invisible walls etc) in GP3 and gone on to make GP4 a console-only title. -- Frode

You forget: - moving 3D cockpit - tracks with camber - force feedback - cc improvements (2000 season) - physics (differential - 2000 season) - very good wet weather simulation - improved replays (2000 season) - debris collisions (2000 season) > <snip> I think most of the GP4 effort went to the Xbox version. At least it tied the pc developpers from a certain point. We pc owners were unlucky it seems. I have yet to try it out though. If GP4 compares the same to its reviews here as GP3 does, I might still like it :) Bart Westra

Except that a game of this low quality would never sell on consoles. On PCs there seems to be some wierd Crammond religious following who buy up whatever he spews out.

the reason is they are all indian programmers so for the best part of the time they are just getting over "c o f f e e " and " m i l k " ( say it very slowly ) etc "Frode" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7esO8.2203$[email hidden]... > "Joe62" <[email hidden]> wrote > > >Someone should tap Crammond on the shoulder andsay > > > > > >"Excuse me, this is 2002, have you heard of OpenGL at all?" > > And while thee're at it: "Excuse me, this is 2002.Have you heard that > > one-man programming teams were obsolete five yearsago?" > > According to interviews he's not working "alone"anymore.

I must admit my experience with the sense of speed is the opposite to that of everybody else in here. I get more of a sense of high speed in GP4 than GP3. Guess I'm odd. -- Frode

"And while we're on the subject, Geoff, have you noticed that your assembly code is dramatically slower than code optimized by a modern C compiler?"

Modern C optimizers are extremely sophisticated. In most cases it can outperform hand-written assembly code. As just one example, an optimizer will organize code and data to make the most efficient use of specific hardware characteristics. You just can't do that by hand.
