If they could simply update us about it.  Just, something.  A little
anything.

I've always been of the "they dont owe us anything - there'll be news when
there's news" - but I'm getting to the end of my teather as well

Quite. Perhaps someone could come up with a sim - or any PC game -
 that's been this long in development without a demo, yet has ended up
as a great game. Can't think of one offhand. I said a few months back
that various people's comments had more or less convinced me that WSC
was really on its way. Not any more - I'll believe nothing till I see
*at the very least* a varied video, and preferably a demo. Screenshots
won't do any more.

They did release a video quite some time ago. Last I heard they had to port
WSC to D3D because initially it was done in Glide and that is probably what
the hold up is. Also something about licensing issues for certain tracks. I
still believe in WSC. May the WSC force be with you.

Unreal
Falcon 4.0
Max Payne

Probably others too.  I'll admit to losing interest in WSC, especially
now that we have good sports car mods for F1 2001 and with Pro Race
Driver on the way, but I still think it could happen.  Someday.

I'll believe it's still coming when they relaunch their website, or at
least, when they spell "Construction" properly.

Okay, fair enough. But did any of them have the almost total lack of
information we're getting with WSC?

Glide "died" years ago, if that's the thing holding them back then
they're not as good at programming as everyone thought :-)

Yes yes, Daikatana ;-)

Let's hope they don't model killer frogs.

I don't think Max Payne was all that great of a game.  It has some cool
effects but it had absolutely zero replay value.

Just my $.02,

Daikatana was a great game?

2 out of 3 ain't bad.  :-)  F4 needed a lot of patching on release and only
'took off' with erazor and the realism patches years later.  I hope to heck
WSC wouldn't need that.
