GP3.........(again)

GP3.........(again)

by Peter Gag » Fri, 13 Mar 1998 04:00:00

I've just got a special edition of PC Format (in the UK) The PC Format
Gold, special racing games edition, spring 1998.

They have an interview with Geoff Crammond (God), in which he clearly
states GP3 is on the cards, WHOOOooaaaaHhhhoooaaawwww!!!!

He states he is not about to start GP3 from scratch, but he is going
to continue to add to and refine the code used in GP2.

No real details about GP3 were discussed, no release dates, or new
features that might be incorporated, but he did mention that he was
interested in what 3D cards are capable of, and GP3 will remain a sim,
not an arcade type game.

The interview talks mainly about his past, but at least now we know
for definite, GP3 *is* on the way.

BTW, this editon of PC Format is a great read, has loads on all the
old driving games, and all the new, well worth shelling out for I
thought? and I don't normally buy PC Format either!

They also had a preview of Grand Prix Legends, which looks awesome,
and the "in car" view now has *proper* drivers arms, not the planks of
wood that were featured in earlier previews! (release date stated as
April in the UK?)

Sounds interesting, will have to give it a try when it's out.  Im sure
it wont be out until Spring of '99 (at least).  Racing F1RS in the
meantime, and loving it !!

If he still doesn't know what 3D cards are capable of, then he's gotta
alot of catching-up to do.  :)

I hope there's a simple***pit view in GPL.  I have a Thrustmaster
GP1 steering wheel, and I hate the thought of seeing my arms and
steering wheel, right behind the games arm and wheel graphics.  It
really takes away from the immersion of driving the car yourself.

Other than that, GPL looks very good.

They are about to relaunch the site, next Monday, and the latest info is
from last December so you might want to try next week.
