Title: F1 Racing Championship from Ubisoft...
Post by: THE EYE on March 20, 2001, 01:21:17 AM
hmmm... I rented this game yesterday... THANK GOD !!!
For me it´s nothing special, IMO the F1 Sim from EA is much better...
The FX are good, but you just didn´t get the F1 "feeling". There is a lag of colours aswell - everything seems to be a bit gray ?! And the steering is bad, the game has the same name like the great PC Game, but nothing else...
I wait for SONYs F1 Racer and hope, that this will rock !!!!
The folks at Ubisoft still have to learn a few things...

Yes, I´ve rented this one also a few weeks ago... but it isn´t so special too !!!
Fact is, there is no good F1 sim for the PS2 right now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That´s just very sad !!!

Well..I was in the grand stand at the very first corner of the track, ya know that place where ralf schumacher spinned at the beggining of the race. I got pictures and video footage of the whole scene!

So yes I was dry, really wierd coz on one side of the track it was wet while it was dry on the other!

Hey macabre... that´s cool - NOW I know what "Black Woods" mean... :D

Is it the place where the "Black Wood Hospital" is ??? :laughing:

Ich komme aus Düsseldorf und war schon oft am Nürburgring... aber leider noch
nie bei einem F1 Rennen... Ein Freund von mir war mal da und er sagte es sei einfach
nur GEIL, aber VIIIIIEELL zu laut !!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Sorry, that was in German, but it´s easier that way... ;)

@Metal_Gear_Ray: I don`t have a favourite team,I just like it when a german driver wins :D
I know - one day I will go to a race , Monaco would be even better than Hockenheim.But it would be even more expensive also :D

@THE EYE: Yes,the same place - the hospital is just far more south.I think its a hotel `in real live`.

Haha... liquidpool, actually they (or rather Sony) changed it to Studio Liverpool, which is a city in the UK for those not familiar with British geography, and/or a Department store for those who live in Mexico (that would be me and PSXXX).

I got the game, but I asked the store clerck if it was possible to switch it with zoe, if I didn\'t like it,
It\'s not a great game, but it\'s not bad either, once you give it a longer try you become used to it and it plays really quite well, ai is good in it,
about the graphics, they are not at all bad, if it weren\'t for the horrible trilinear mipmapping, you can see the cars switch to lower degrees when they\'re only about 20 virtual meters from the screen, eeeehhh!!!
on the other hand, when you for instance race monaco(!) it is really cool, when you drive out of the tunnel, you can almost feel the heat of the sun unleashed on you, and the water effects (in the rain) on and behind the car are really sumtin, too bad they forgot to do the road surface, it doesn\'t reflect when it\'s wet.

btw. did you see Jos (the boss) Verstappen go, he owned the whole field, last race, those moments make me proud of my first name (it\'s the same as his)
