Firstly I'm a big F1 fan and was recommended the original F1-GP by
a friend. It was an old game with a massive following and I got it
cheap and absolutely loved it.
I'm also a big Sci-Fi fan, and was recommended the EliteII:Frontier
game by another friend. It was an old game with a massive following
and I got it cheap and absolutely loved it.
(Hmmm.... sounding familiar?)
And then I heard news of Frontier:First Encounters. It had been in
development for several years and had been hyped up considerably.
I waited patiently for it's release but when I got the game I was very
dissappointed. It was very buggey, had lost most of the fun of
its prequel, and didn't run as fast as it on my system. Later on
a bug-fixed version was released but by then I was completely put
off the game and had gone back to the original.
(Anyone see where I'm going here.....?)
And then I heard news of F1-GP2. It had been in development for
several years and had been hyped up considerably.
But here my [real life] parallel must end since F1-GP2 isn't
actually out yet.
Basically my point is *please* be patient and wait for F1-GP2 to
come out - I don't want it to be rushed just so it can come out
by X date - I DON'T want a repeat of my Frontier experiences.
IF ANYONE FROM MICROPROSE IS READING THIS PLEASE HEED MY ADVICE!!!!!
I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.
David.
