GP4 isn't gonna be an add on pack, probably everything that should of been
put in the upcoming GP3 to begin with.  Make that money!!

% yeah, but in the days when anyone will sue for any pathetic reason, a modern
% day celebrity (which F1 drivers are) will care about their image, or at
% least their people, or their people's people will.

% I think it's just a legal safeguard.

From what I have heard of what is being left out, it sounds more like
either Geoff dictates or can't be bothered to program.

pit communicaton

decent net and lan play

come to mind....

What bothers me is they try to play it off as something they do to enhance
the game for us, the players. "It would detract from the experience", is an
often abused sentence.

I say: put it in there you lazy bastards and let us decide whether it
bothers us or not. Assuming there's a way to not use the feature, of course.

Cheers,

Jan.

Seems like they are getting into Papy's habit of add on packs.

I just got Unreal Tornament and after I installed it, I checked
for any updates or patches.  It was quite refreshing to find
that epic games have made a FREE add on pack, including several
new maps, for downloading.

Like Microsoft with their flight sims, Epic also actively
encourage third party add-ons.  Maybe the sim-racing
manufacturers should have a look outside their own genre
sometimes to see whats going on?

Or Hasbro is trying to force another half baked product out the door.
Don't expect much support from Hasbro either. I will bet my money on
EA and future versions that enhance and fix problems.

Never played Kick Off 2. Who does it? Anyway, I like the EA Football
games, as do many other people. It's been good since WC '98.

Was Nascar 2000 developed by Image Space like F1 2000 and SCGT? Nope.
