I know some of you guys talk to the West's, so is there anything you
*can* tell us about it ?

I'm not asking people to break trusts or anything like that, but it
would be awfully nice to hear from someone who has actually had their
hands on a working copy, no matter how early it is in the development
cycle, if possible

Yes I know, I'm not one of those with the most faith in this project,
but if they do make it this time around, I will be there, CC in hand, I
don't mind paying for quality, as long as I actually get quality

toleit that was swirling backwards.......

And thus you'll always be wrong.

Not meaning to rain on your parade or anything, but that's *exactly*
the type of thing we used to get on the RSC boards a few months ago.
And it was *always* wrong. I don't think anyone's expecting "we're
going to have this, this and this in X weeks' time"[1], but this is
slightly worrying.

Having said that, I'm a *lot* happier about the chances of RL coming
out than I was about WSC. For one thing, the Wests are willing to go
on the forums and answer (some of) people's questions, which is
always a good sign - remember it happened here with Rally Trophy. And
ot having to mess about with Empire is surely a help in that
department.

[1] Though why not? Who *cares* if it gets out that (say) Ferrari are
in discussions with the Wests? We all know they'd like to have a
Ferrari licence anyway, so why is swirling rumour better than hard
fact? There's far too much justifying any level of secrecy by "it's
commercially sensitive, dontchaknow" - a great deal of it
unnecessary. We need a sea change in the way these things work - so
that a game maker can say "well, we're talking to Ferrari, but I
don't know what the outcome will be for a while. Looks reasonably
promising, though".

Before anyone makes the obvious point, yes, I *know* the world
doesn't work like that. But it should - and it could, if people
wanted it to.

Same with "nerver right", I suppose?
