Scheduled for February 1998? Hmm..I guess that
means we won't see it for another 3 years or so.

Looks like you dont follow up alot..
The last game was programmed and designd by GEOFF CRAMMOND, and this
time it is Crammond
and a whole team.
So they can fokus more on each part of the game.
There for it will be made alot faster.. from what i've heard they are
based on the code from Gp2, but enhanced it for 3d hardware, and made it
more non 3d hardware computer friendly!.

Still, you can count on it being late. Not as late as GP2 was, for sure,
but still late.

You meen the Microprose calender, since Crammond never told when it was
going to be finished, just microprose.That is the reason the game never
was finished.

Since they already have Gp2 to work from I can belive that the game will
be out at that time, maby at the end of the first half of 1998 at the
worst.

And do remember that it is not just crammond this time, he is now
working with a team, and that will surly make progress.. as well as
possibilities for patches if there is something missing.
Let us all hope for the things that was not with gp2, as well as Voodoo
chipset suport.!

I thought GP2 was several years late, and I'm almost certain it didn't
appear before Indy500:The Simulation, which wasn't released until
1989...

You ever maintained computer software?

You ever maintained computer software written by someone else?

In some cases it is easier to start from the scratch and with
the extremely slow 3D engine of GP2, I would think it'd even
be wise.

But of course, they will be counting on everybody owning
a 300MHz MMX with some outrageously expensive 3D card stuck
up its ass.

Hahha, patches? From MicroProse, hehhehhehhehe h h hhekjhslkdjy p9879 yh

Just because they did that mistake, makes every one hate Crammond... BTW
it was not crammond that was wrong. it was microprose.They started to
advertice long before crammond was sure if it would be finished in time.

a-ha,maybe true but o'le geoff could have said to erase those BIG
LETTERS PROGRAMMED BY GEOFF CRAMMOND?
he attached his name and therefore takes responsebility for the whole
game
in my humble opinion,microprose would be crazy to put out a follow-up to
such a heavy selling product as gp2 is
gp1 was released many years ago,and only last year came gp2
my guess is we just might see a demo for gp3 just befor ethe turn of the
century
think i'm gonna join that guy laughing over microprose and patches :-)
microprose,hahahahahahahaha,bringing out patches,HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL

Most of the problems were with stoopid magazines,  that said the game
would be released next month  etc  etc.

Geoff Crammond never set a date for GP2's release,  and stated that it
would be finished,  when it's finished.

Still,  its the best gp sim/game out there,  and its gonna take a lot
to beat it.

Can't wait to see the games that DO beat it.

Cheers.....Ken
