GP3 : Final and Warez are NOT the same !!

How do I know this you ask?

Well, the ripper group "Class", the one`s who released the rip,
sais in the NFO file that the game was released on the July 21th, 2000.
If this is the case, why has it been on several different ftp bases for
several weeks with the specific order not to be distributed before this
date?
This is a fact, I know because I visit one of these ftp sites regularly.
The rip and the iso are from the same BETA edition, but NOT from the
final.
Thank god, cos` there`s a lot of minor bugs in the rip and iso.
Even some AI bugs. The CC can get really agressive, they drive like you
not even there sometimes.
After playing the rip from last Saturday, and the iso from this Tuesday I
really look farward to the final.
btw...the game runs fine on a P2-450Mhz/Voodoo2/128Mb ram PC,
but for the real eye candy a P3-800/GeForce2 is a killer.
Not to brag or anything, but the game at 1280x1024 with everything on
must be seen! WOW !
Anyway..after waiting for almost 2 years the wait is soon over.
I know what I`ll be doing this Friday :-))

Cheers.

So what you are saying is that they also 'patched' the exe to show version 1.00
or maybe the final version is >1.00?

or maybe all versions have had the number 1.00 in them up until now, and
that'll only change if there's a patch after release.

This is called wishfull thinking:

All you guys that ordered the game are just PRAYING that the official
release will be better.

I just wouldn't bet my money on it :)

Just wait and see.

Whether it is the final version or not, if you are expecting dramatic
improvements from the warez version to the official release I think you will
be greatly disappointed.

No, by realizing who the strongest opponents of the game are (without
even having the illegal warez copy!) I'm quite sure I will LOVE GP3.

Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change

Not so sure that is a good criterium. I simply *never* assign any
value to their opinion, whether they are slashing a sim or not...  :-)
