Grand Prix 3 (Again)
            Posted: May 11, 2000

            It's perhaps no surprise that Hasbro
            continues to push Grand Prix 3 with more
            vigour than any other title at this year's
            E3, even though the Americans have yet to
            fully realise the thrill of modern Formula
            One Motor Racing. (We really do like it.
            Honest.) In Crammond's typically petulant
            way, there's still no obvious indication of
            when it's due to be finished - the
            September date we've heard is, in all
            likelihood, rather optimistic. A perceived
            pessimism seems all the more justified
            when you consider that the latest version
            of the franchise is little more advanced
            than the single-track demo already
            presented twice this year.

Not only that, they assumed by the bug count (32), that it could be
forever until we see it.  My gawd, 32 bugs?   Microsoft would consider
this to be a perfect piece of software. <G>

EB still had a late August release date for GP3.

Seeing Hasbro's methods in the flight-sim genre I wouldn't be
surprised if GP3 is pushed out the gate way too soon and they drop
after-market support soon after release.

Also you can see from some of the detail of the piece that the writer has
not been following the progress of GP3 at all, since he states things we
already know to be false concerning the sound effects.

I've heard both July and September confimed as definite release dates within
the last two days.  If only Hasbro/Microprose would keep their official
"site" (if you can call it that) up to date then these rumours wouldn't
persist.
