Anyway, Stalker (www.stalker-game.com) is going to be what we all
hoped hl2 was going to be (from what I've seen of hl2 it doesn't look
that impressive compared to Stalker), and Deus Ex 2 is out in Feb. I
have a funny feeling that hl2 is going to flop when it is released
just after Deus Ex 2 and Doom 3...

I got a souped up version of the pudgy green buggy as a bonus for doing
something else in the game and it was pretty easy to win the Platinum Cup
using that. Check your available cars, you might have it knocking about too.
Jan./Re-Volt... serious non-serious fun.

Not really expecting something to drive but just a tad frustrated that
development appears to be on those "final graphics touches" IMHO. The
development model seems to be geared around an evolution of versions -
various series and eras are promised using a ground breaking physics model.
A video of a car on a track, or a working***pit would go along way for
me. I can't get e***d about a transporter and unless I am alone I am
genuinely surprsied that the Wests would not see that the updates simply
frustrate rather than give a nice warm feeling of being communicated with.
Yours oversensitively :)

Oh damn, they forgot to exquisitely model the track!
There will be a slight delay in RL's release.
Andrew McP... trying to resist the urge to give the Wests a good slap.
That sounds right for the standard item. You have to realise I'm going from
memory here.
Honestly, I don't really know. I'm not really an arcade expert so winning
bonusses or getting sub-games (speaking generally here... don't know if
Re-Volt has any sub-games) is just something that happens rather than
anything I work at. It wasn't for getting all the stars on the stunt track,
though, this is the first I hear of a stunt track being in the game.
Wish I could be of more help, but I uninstalled it long ago. Sure was a fun
game though... you've made me want to go back to it, but it would burn up
too much time at the moment.

Chris is programming and Tony is creating graphics, so I think what
you see is mostly Tony's work. He does seem to have a bit too much
time on his hands though. ;-)
Normally, given WSC's background, you'd expect the basics to be layed
out pretty quickly. Some things will be redone entirely (like now
driving entirely on a 3D patch-based system instead of polygons, like
ISI does (they use an adaptive subdivision polygon method from the
looks of it), and Gregor Veble's suspension system, but most things
they've already though of (for WSC).
So you'd expect somethign (at least a box) driving some kind of
circuit pretty soon.
I'm not sure how much impact the loss of the Empire source code has
had, but you'd quickly go into a similar route for RL, so I imagine
they must something driving pretty realistic by now.
For me, building a race game would be a loop of:
while(not satisfied)
{
- physics code
- graphics code
- user interface
- audio
They must have something, only they're not showing it off.

I went back to the single race mode(I'd been running Champ. mode). By winning
all the races in each 'Cup', you get another car. Haven't gotten the one you
mentioned yet, and I haven't been impressed with the ones I *have* gotten.
Hey Chuck! Still playing this game? :-)
