  • Played GT3 for a bit last night...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I'm sure it would be much better if I hadn't played GT2 at all. Some of the annoying shit is still there, like auto-replaying every race... what idiots.

I didn't mess around with the camera, but the 3rd person view seems too close to the car.

The background, well, all the graphics are amazing, very well done. The dust cloud that the rally cars kick up is amazing. You really feel like you're there. The physics are still slightly off in rally mode, but they're close. You can't do a Scandinavian Flick, the weight transfer just doesn't work right. A minor complaint that only one of you will understand... :)

Having the torque ratings off really bothers me. Details, gotta have that shit right.

No used cars? wtf? I thought that was a really cool idea and very much more realistic.

Burning tires up as a money sink? I don't like this idea. I liked to be able to buy tons of cars... now it appears that you'll be dropping lots of cash on tires all the time.

It's a good game, I'm sure, but I want something different. Like World Rally Championship or motorcycle racing based on World Superbike.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Colin McRae, or at least the version I played, was terrible. You couldn't even race against other drivers, and Colin himself sounded like he was on Boredom pills. "Ah, coming up on a right here...ah...um..."</div>
