Apart from an updated physics engine and AI changes, GP3 - in keeping with the series – will provide a whole slew of options for us to play around with. We will be able to take part in a quick race (just click and go), a non-championship single race and, of course, a full Championship season complete with practice and qualifying rounds. There are five difficulty levels as well as a host of driving assist features (As seen in GP2) planned. These will serve as training wheels that can be gradually turned off until players reach a level of difficulty they are happy with.
For more experienced players seeking to extract the best performance from their cars, GP3 will continue the tradition of extensive setup options to fiddle around with. This ranges from most straightforward aspects like wing position, gear ratios and brake balance to advanced features like spring adjustment, ride height dampeners etc. Adjustments to a car’s setup will affect its performance and handling, and Micropose has taken more care to ensure that this better explained to the gamer.
One of the many big changes is all the circuits have been upgraded to reflect the ’98 season. There have been an awful lot of changes to the circuits themselves since ’94 – the corners have been changed, new safety rules have been incorporated. One of the other big changes made was that fans have been begging for is weather effects. They have gone one step further and introduce dynamic weather effects, where by rain may stop and start several times leaving puddles as it dries out then reforming once the rains begins again.
As most gamers would whole-heartedly agree, playing against real live opponents is one of the most thrilling aspects of computer gaming. This is especially true of racing games, and Micropose is aware that it extends the life of a game dramatically. GP3 features hotseat, modem-to-modem support, and of course LAN, however the max number of people isn’t specified. The final concern with GP3 is that the game fixture is based on 1998 not 2000. This is because Micropose have spent quite some time researching information on every race and drive that competed in 1998. However the message from most people is that they don’t give a damn about dates and just want a damn good racing game. Whether you’re looking for a quick bash around the track, want to slowly improve your racing skills or want the full Grand Prix racing experience – Grand Prix 3 will have it covered.
