Default V8 Supercars 3

Well after waiting 5 hours for the 555mb demo to download ,I must say I need a better graphics card because i was disapointed with the in game graphics, the game has better features with black flags and tyre warming and wear ,I only got an hour to play last night and on hard setting could not even finish a race,on easy i kept getting black flagged due to there slow speeds into corners.
Have you played and what did you think.?

Alan

ITS AWESOME, it does need a pretty good graphics card to run, but so far the game looks pretty good

The physics are terrible, doesn't even feel like you're driving a car. Unless something changes big time I'll be sticking with rFactor, GTL and GTR.

i love the it, i am an V82 on Xbox Live addict, i CANT wait for the new one.

You can do alot more in terms of adjusting your car, but you can alter gearing on this one by the looks on a V8, which you couldnt do b4

So far the best V8 supercar game I've played is the V8 Challenge mod for F1 Challenge '99-02.

Check it out here V8 Gaming.
You can also create your own cars, and get the latest skins. (Big bonus especially when you want to race the current cars). There's a whole forum here: RSC V8 Forum. This is made by the same people who are making the RFactor V8 Supercar mod.

I'm willing to bet this game will be crap, purely because Codemasters are the laziest publisher I've ever played a game from. I've said this in the apst and got flammed for it and probably will now but as car as I'm concerned Avesco or whoever should give the game to EA or even Take2 games.

You need to get the game called "F1 Challenge '99-02". The V8 supercars are just a modification of the game. (the physics are really good, much better than codemasters).

Once you get the game, (should still be available in stores), you can apply the 171mb mod to it, then the 1.1 patch.

One of the things I like most about this game is the fact that you can make your own skins quite easily if you have photoshop. It also has a telemetry program so you can check out how your car setup is working. (tyre temps, brake temps, etc).
