I can't understand why there aren't any REALLY good racing-games on the pc. NFS 5 is ok, so is Rally Masters and Colin McRae 2. But they are NOTHING compared to GT3. I honestly plan to shell out almost 500$ for PS2, GT3 and steeringwheel, just to be able to play GT3! But that would really screw up my college budget for this fall
EA (just an example) should be able to release racing games with the same graphical quality as GT3. Sure, it would take a bit of computer-power, but with the prices we have today, people who actually buy the newest games have powerful PC:s. If you use AMD and Nvidia for example, this is what I consider "low-end", "mid-end" and "high end" today.
Low-end: Duron 700+, 128 Mb SDRAM, GF2 MX
Mid-end: TB 1ghz+, 256 Mb PC133 SDRAM, GF2 GTS
High-end: Tb 1.33 Ghz+ (266 mhz bus), 256 Mb+ DDR, GF3
And don't come saying that e.g. K6-2:s are low-end (not to use the K6-2 as an example of something bad, I used one for a year without problems, but they aren't exactly speed-demons). I'm talking about computers actually beeing able to run the newest games.
So, if game-programmers understood that they could have a duron 700, 128 Mb and GF2MX as a limit (instead of a celery 300, 64 meg, V2), pc-games would probably be a whole lot better graphically. I know that really great-looking games are on the horizon (e.g. Aquanox), but soon the PS2 will have Metal Gear Solid 2 as well! ARGH!!
I know there might be some spelling-errors in this text, and I blame them on me beeing tired as hell. I just had to write this because I'm SO F****** JEALOUS of all PS2-owners!
