4?!?!?

I fail to see your logic here Robert. Because Papy is still making N4, they
can't have Daytona or Pocono? How do you come to that conclusion?

And by the way, your name is spelled Robert, not Roebrt.....<G>

Well it's like a modern F1 simulator without Monaco, or a historical F1 sim
without the Nurburgring, or even worse.. a IRL title without Indy!

Unfortunately, greed has another time come into the way...

Maybe not! We might get a big surprise :) I think Papy want's Daytona in N4
just as bad as we do. Maybe they can make it happen...

What exactly do we think is required to make this happen?

Obviously the "exclusive license" excuse is no longer as other titles will
have Daytona. How could Sierra/Papy NOT get Daytona if all the other
companies get it? The only way I can see them not getting it is if Sierra
won't cough-up the $$. We know the Papy folks want it in as badly as we all
do.

What do you think?

i think that sierra wont give papy the money to get the license to daytona.
think about it, ea and hasbro are full of cash because they make like 50 other
games. papy only makes about one to two titles a year, and knowing that sierra
is cheap (yeah, im sure it cost sierra $50 to make N3) they probably might not
want to cough up the money!

Easy to come to that conclusion WW. It's called licensing. The reason why
there's never been Daytona in any of the Nascar sims and Pocono since N2 is
that Papy couldn't get the licenses for those tracks.

From what I heard from the engineers at E3 they are planning on
Daytona for N4....I did not ask about Pocono
