E3 and Sim Racing Coverage...

Lets just make a long story short on the above subjects.

There was none.

I have visited no less than 20 internet *** press and haven't seen
nadda, nothing or zilch on racing simulations. When you are talking
best game of E3, the press has aligned them self with RPG games.

Hopefully this is only a temporary problem and the ***press
reviews that support and visit this newsgroup will host up and post
up some reviews shortly.   There was a mention of NASCAR 4,
WSC and NASCAR Heat, but nothing on other newly released games.
One of the sites gave Motor Madness 2 the best sim of show.
That's ok, but at least I would like to know what else they reviewed,
than to just pick one.. Who was 2nd, 3rd and 4th and why.

I'm not sure where the marketing problem exist, but you might think
that all lays at the feet of the publishers as well.

Just a point I wanted to raise and create some discussion.  If you
have a sighting of any E3 reviews for racing simulations.  Please
post the link here..

Thanks

E3 and Sim Racing Coverage... nadda, nothing or zilch

It's about time you realise that whatever "cool" racing simulation are, they
do not have any success on the mass market.  People want FPS, they want
online RPG, but they in majority don't give an arse about racing sims, even
if they are fans of racing.  They will love multiplayer racing at the local
DaytonaUSA arcade game, but that's mostly all.  It's just too much
time-demanding.
