Sounds like all the Star Wars media blitz.

I don't think it's possible.  It will just be "How good is *good enough*" for
most people.
I'll make my determination if a demo ever comes out.  Right now, I won't care
about the game.

I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how
long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

Hmmm, no.

SHould do your research really.

It's been mentioned in the pass that for cars to go public and race online -
they will have to go thru an authentication/locking procedure by Chris and
Tony - thus making them uneditable in the future. This guarentees that what
someone races online is what it appears to be

Let us not forget - that cheating in F12001 mods is as easy as editing a txt
file.  I made a 400kph beast in 30 seconds.

I was one of them, but it was different from what you wrote.  Technically,
Lucasfilm did promote Episode 1 incredibly well.  Too well, I would say.
But there was substance behind it, it was Star Wars for fricking's sake! ;-)

Not anything against the West Bros. here, but I don't see in their list
anything that could compare to let's say the route sheet of George Lucas.
Anyway, Episode 1 was good.

Thats good news (well, new to me at least) indeed. Looks like most
of the important features are there on the spec list, back to the
discussion about if it will ever materialize in the real world :-)
