Quake3World

Anyone up for some stunts/races/derbies later today? Or are you afraid...

is this game worth even a download or what?...its like 3 gigs...

It's worth every packet. Maxed out all thee graphics too, simply put amazing. Tons of fun.

really? cuz some of the reviews say its shit...

its fun... but don't expect a racing game.
the only thing that impressed me was how good they made it look, yet it still runs max detail (no AA, 8x AF) ~50 fps on my 2.4g p4 & underclocked radeon 9800pro.

How do you show fps?

The reviews are shit. User reviews say that site reviews are underrating the game. Review that.

Ah ok.
Thought there might be some native in-game command.
Thanks.

I think I get a steady 75 fps.

I can only max my monitor's refresh freq to 85 hertz , so if I can get near that it's fine.

Anyway, seems to run pretty smoothly on my decrepit p4_2.8 1gb 9700pro 1024x768 max.

I'm amazed I'm still not forced to upgrade after 3 years.

okay i'll download but i'll prolly just let my kids play it...i ain't got time for shitty games...

only shitty threads

So, what kind of game is it, where you drive a car around a track, with other people, trying to get across the finish line first?

FPS game?

sounds like he only played the stunts..

i already finished derby, race, and 90% street aswell as the championship derby, race..

Actually i was using the ATI tray-tools that come with the omega drivers.
the same thing i use to underclock the vcore so i don't get sparkles and insane poly explosions. (i think the poor thing is on its last legs... one too many hot ass summers in my no-a/c apartment... thermo next to the pc says ambient of 83.5°F (28.6C))

i beat all the single player... it only takes a few hours.
and its not a racing game, its a demolition derby.
the driving is pretty terrible, and after the first lap its impossible to find a clean line through all the rubbish strewn about.
that’s why I say its not a racing game... its not about lap times. trying to get fast laps is just an exercise in frustration.
it's an arcade-smash-em-up
and that’s fun in a cheesy arcade game way. (in embracing its arcade style, it is a much better game than those god awful NFS underground games)
lets just say, its fun... but not something i'd get my steering wheel out for. (especially considering the automatic-only)

And oddly id rather play this than almost every racing sim out there. Its more fun than burnout as a whole, and beleive it or not, id rather play this than gran tourismo.

Tho, id rather play forza than all of em. but for "FUN" ill take flatout 2 every day off the week.

Speaking of sterring wheels. i should break mine out. This game would be class with a proper wheel.

That bowtie track would be fun online with 8 people.

Hah, just finished playing that and other tracks with 8 people, ggs!

game?

Didn't look at this thread \o/

Anyone up for a game tomorrow?

Actually Watson, you on right now? Let's play.

I'm hosting in 5 seconds, server name is your profile name anyways, so look for "Mazda" in the server list in a bit.
