Grand Prix 4

i have both games.. gp3 and f1 2001
gp3 beats the hell out of f1 2001's gameplay and thats for sure but on the other hand, f1 2001 takes gp3 in graphics
nowadays i dont even play gp3 anymore.. f1 2001 seems to have a colorfull track atmosphere that keeps u on driving.. gp3 seems kind of monotone..
i wont give u a headache anymore with the 3d background of gp4, but as LS. said, if gp4 will have gp3's gameplay and f1 2001's graphics a lot of people would be happy.. i would
so far gp4 looks like a really small graphics improvment of gp3 but with worse carshapes..

At least the carshapes are different for each team...surely an improvement. Also, I think the graphics are a big improvement on gp3

They dont look that big an improvement. F1 2001 is amazing, if GP4 in newer than F1 2001 why isnt GP4s graphics anywhere close to F1 2001? The GP4 graphics at the moment are horrible. The cars are too bulcky and the colours look weird, the cars look plasticy whilst F1 2001 graphics are amazing.

Come on Ellis, your being a little melodramatic...the graphics arent horrible at all, and it does say 'WORK IN PROGRESS'

But if F1 2001 looks so bloody amazing why cant GP4 look like it?

The Jag looks really bad, the colour is very very wrong, the shape is all wrong, the car looks too bulcky, and the cars look all plasticy.

So far its a huge disappointment for me. F1 2001 is out of date and 2002 will be out soon, imagine the graphics that will have and it will still be miles better than GP4 graphics

Work in progress, yeah but GP series have never ever been noted for its amazing attention to graphics

Well, i remember times when i only could play F1 with my matchbox cars or with slotcars. I don't care that much about the grafics, cause i really enjoy the possibility to play a F1-sim-computergame with my mates.
Hey they could make a superb 3D F1 game that only runs smoothly with a GF-4 and above 2Ghz CPU.
(is that F1-2002?)
I wouldn't buy it...
Keep in mind that not everyone can buy a new system every 6 month.

Yeah i agree with glory, maybe they are deliberately keeping the graphics low so the games runs smooth as with 24 cars on the track all really close. As long as the game has improved grpahics on GP3 and the gmaeplay is at improved slightly, i will still stick to the GP4 series, but no internet play is VERY disapointing (ahem geoff if ur reading)

I agree with that too, a good point Glory_G.

"Keep in mind that not everyone can buy a new system every 6 month."

this is one reason i like the GP series

Im running 350Mhz, and upuntil a while ago 32Mb RAM and until yesterday a 4MB graphics card and GP3 still ran decent
