In an interview in PC Format GOLD (a special racing edition)
Mr Crammond said thar he is working on GP3 - it will be an evolution
of GP2 (he's not starting from scratch but GP2 is so damn good he
shouldn't need to). He also stated that it would be pushing the hardware
(as GP2 did) but would cater for the range of systems out there.
So there you go. There is a God after all.

In other words he still can not code worth shit.
CHOP CHOP CHOP.
Push the hardware....that should be clue enough.

YES!
Now all we have to do is wait, and wait......... and wait?

How many games do you know that play well in SVGA on a P90?
NOBODY has made an in-game F1 car look as good as Geoff Crammond,
3d accelerated or not.

Personal opinion. I prefer dropped frames in ICR2 than the
slow motion of GP2. For hot-lapping, though, this isn't an
issue. The slow motion just ruins the flow of a lap. I don't
notice when ICR2 dips from 27 to 22 fps for a corner, but
I certainly notice a 10% slowdown of GP2.

Actually, I thought the***pits were pretty drab until the
user-designed***pits showed up.

Hi!
About those old games:
Yes, PONG plays great on my old 4.7MHZ
And I used to play an F1 'sim' couple of years ago, which had a
williams,mclaren and Ferrari and had 8 circuits incl. detroit!
But I agree that F1RS is NOT the step forward we should expect after
those years.
I reccon that Papyrus will do with GPL!
People complained about the delay with GP2.
GPL is 1998 - 1967 = 31 years too late :-)))))
Bart!
Yeah I like a game that a real lap time is 1:30 and it takes 1:45. That
is cool.

I thought I heard he owned all the rights to the series and could do whatever
he wanted with it. I was also wondering about the graphics engine in GP2,
since I've never really played it. I've seen several people refer to it as a
"2D" game. Are they doing this because it doesn't have 3D card support or
because the cars arent made of polygons ot what?

Fast race driving is all about SA. When a sim drop's frames rather than
elasticating time, you can find yourself embedded in the rear of the
backmarker, simply because you didn't see him start to slow down.
Neither of the approaches should cause problems if the software is
configured with enough overhead to cope with those situations where the
processor bogs down.
