Subject: Re: Got ICR II, questions to Rick Genter.
1- Where is Jaques ? I can't beleive you would forget to
include the actual Champion of the serie :). I suppose there
is just legal stuff behind the fact that he is not represented
in the game !?
<<<
Licensing.
2- The Paintkit runs in VGA mode. Isn't there a loss of pixels
when you map the cars in SVGA ? So will there be a SVGA Paintkit
in the future ? With Win95 perhaps ?
<<<
The VGA paintkit gives you access to every pixel of car texture. You
aren't losing anything. On the other hand, wait until you see the Windows
95/Macintosh paint kits. Breathtaking!
3- The breaking model seems to have included the locking of wheels
( if you break too hard, you lock the wheels and slide),
am i right ?
<<<
Yes and no. The wheels don't actually lock, but you can slide.
4- You talked about a coupon for Windows95 users to get the Win95
version free (apart from Delivery) when it shipes, there was none
in my box. Has the policy changed ?
<<<
There was no coupon, but the policy has not changed. DOS purchasers will
be able to obtain the Windows 95 version for a nominal fee when it is
released.
5- Do you have an idea of when the Multiplayer Service at Papyrus
will be on-line ?
<<<
Nope.
