Re: Other than GPL

If your looking for Nascar you should do ONE or TWO things. Try Nascar Heat. The Demo just came out I beleive. or/and wait til November-April for Nascar 4. Both of these titles should be head and shoulders above N3 and Nascar Legends. The best part of NL is the Riverside road course and ....of course...the Daytona's and Superbirds. Not too many users online tho...so getting a big online NL race is tough. N3 has thousands of online drivers most nights. Need for Speed / Porche Unleashed has gotten VERY good reviews even from the sim-heads. F12k has some supporters and there should be ANOTHER Ubi-soft Monaco Grand Prix Racing Sim 3 by this Xmas. That may or may-not standup to the current offerings. Finally any preview needs to cover what 'could' become THE sim of 2001. WSC(World Sports Cars) you'll see plenty of mentions about this one, but it is still several months away from completion. dave henrie I think this is the link to the NH demo...the server may be pretty busy for a few days... http://www.avault.com/pcrl/demo_temp.asp?genre=sims_racing&game=nascarheat&s ize=42.13 "Toner" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

N4 has been delayed to 2001. I enjoy Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed (NFS:PU) and Sports Car GT (SCGT), and on a lighter note... I think that Re*Volt is a hell of alot of fun.

Beta?! GP3 has been RELEASED in the UK -- it's not a "beta," it's a FINISHED product. Unfortunately. -- JB In article <3994c672$[email hidden]>, "* Leong" <[email hidden]> wrote:

don't pass on GP3 if you don't insist on internet multiplayer capabilities - it is one of the best open wheel racing sims, second only to GPL (which simulates a totally different era).

Thank's all for the post's. I've got a 56k modem so downloading demo's is'nt an option. I have Riverside in GPL and it's a darn good track. I've heard a few good thing's about NFS Porsche, I'll have to look into that one. SCGT seem's to have a few follower's from the GPL camp so I think this could be my next purchase. As for all the current F1 sim's or so called sim's, I think I'll pass. GP3 was such a mammoth let down and as most people rate it as the best of the modern era there's nothing really to chose from there. MGPRS could give us something to smile about though if Ubisoft use their head's.

I bought it the minuite it came out. I am, or was, a big Crammond fan. Gp3 sucked big time for me. I blame GPL for this, my standard's are just to high now. I've played all Crammond's game's, Revs was about 5 year's ahead of it's time,GP1 and 2 could'nt be matched in their day. Do you remember when GP2 first came out, it was unbeleivable . Crammond was alway's way ahead of the opposition, I feel GP3 is stuck in a time warp. The Graphic's are nicer when they move, you've got weather but the physics are dodgy in places and the track's are'nt properly scaled. It all boil's down to physic's, this is why I've asked for no mention of GP3 and I have it already. ----------------------------------------------------------- Got questions?

N3 and NL are great for close racing. They are a bit old tech nowdays, but fun non the less. The AI can a bit frustrating, but they are better drivers than in that game you don't want mentioning! Give them a go or wait for N4. Steve Toner wrote in message <[email hidden]>...

Most stores here don't even have the Acceleration Pack and are still selling N3 and NL for $65 - $69 each. What a deal! :-) -- Nos
