  Haven't been paying much attention...Have we EVER heard from Geoff Crammond
or one of his minions in here?  If so, what was his excuse?

He is working on GP3, should be out in 2000, with the 97 season cars ;-)
Still, GP2 is great.
BTW, has anybody ever heard anything from anybody at Microprose
?????????????

says...
  I suppose the patch'll be out in 2010?

Microprose had a representative here when GP2 finally released,
I think his name was Gabe Turk or something similar as I recall
he was around for about the two weeks that GP2 was available
in Europe and not here in the states, took a lot of grief from
some of us eager Yanks wondering why it was released so late
here, and since then he has not made his presence known.

Always be aware that probably only 50% of the readers actually
post to r.a.s. there are a whole bunch of people who just lurk
until they have something usefull to contribute, maybe Geoff or
a Microprose programmer reads r.a.s. without posting.

Personally I think GP2 is an orphan, Microprose has gone on to
newer projects, too bad... they could at least tell us once and
for all if there will or won't be an update.

Papy takes a lot of heat on r.a.s. but at least they are here
and that counts for something with me, Microprose is a company
on the way down, I suppose they don't care to have a loyal customer
base when they already have our $$$$.

Note: I am a fan of both GP2, ICR2 and Nascar2, so there's no bias there.

Cheers.

That's pretty much Microprose company policy these days. The "Across
The Rhine" fiasco really lowered my respect for Microprose. Any
software developer looking for a publisher should stay away from
Microprose/SH.

Im a little dissapointed that it doesn't run very well w/ my P200Intel,
4 meg of video ram(Matrox Mystique), 64 meg of EDO ram - maybe it needs
a Cray to run properly w/ all the features on ??

I want a refund and then I want to shove his product up his.....

Now back to the regularly schedualed program....

Hey...

Ace isn't that hard... Once you get your car set up right...

Take Monaco for example...  they ai's are pretty slow turning into the
tunnel & at the corner after the tunnel you can outbreak 'm without too
much tire wear...  just the right setup that's all :)

Hmmmmmmmm.

Personally I think it's an awesome game and it runs very well on my
P133 - 32Meg EDO - Matrox 2Meg machine.

How do you make out it's a BETA then?  Does it crash all the time?
Does it not have a feature that you read on the box should be there?
I don't think so.

There are certainly improvements that could be made but I haven't seen
one bit of software that you could say that about.

In my opinion it is an excellent game and excellent value for money.

Thanks Geof Crammond!!!!!!!!!!!

The game runs very well on my P100, med-graphics, OCC%
of 85-110 (most tracks), 16Mb, and a Rendition card.  :)

GP2 is an *incredible* achievement, and to all its and Geoff's critics I have to
quote, from the film `outlaw':
     "He's such a great man that you'd have to stand on your
      granpappy's shoulders just to kiss his ass"
                                    (Steve McQueen).
