I agree with these guys, just follow me a minute,
You can actually get on the internet, check email, FIND ng's, and probably
surf the web. If you're above the age of 21, then you probably have more
friends who aren't on the net than those who are.
So, these 2 things probably make you feel very "tech savvy". I agree, you
probably are, probably have a big TV and DVD. If you are so tech savvy that
you would know about getting on the net, to find a track, for a game, which
probably less than 1% of people in the US even know about in-depth, then
don't you think that guys smart enough to actually PROGRAM that game know
that releasing 100,000 copies of THAT track anywhere, especially free with
race program as I heard it, is going to end up getting to the people who
are into their game deep enough to find it? I say, good business move, great
end run, can't wait till N4, I'll buy it.
The other thing, after Daytona, we definitely need flipping cars. NFS does
it, AND looks better in D3D. The perfect blend is out there somewhere,
probably N5.
Not flaming, just expressing a different viewpoint for you to consider,
