Lets see what its like before disgarding it as a patch eh?

It was funny to see the pro-Gp3 fans going "Wait until you see it! It's just
screenshots! It's just press releases!". They were wrong for that, they
were also wrong when we just didn't care about GP2000. So why would they be
right for GP4?

I fail to see where he called you a fan. Never the less, the point he made
remains.

The point he made was nothing to do with my point,which was that Its easy
for people to be critical of things they couldnt (or wont) do themselves. I
respect anyone who can produce a sim good enough to be sold. Saying that, I
was very disappointed with gp3, I thought it should have been so much
better, its part of the reason I am making my own sim.
"everyone's a critic" ;)

If I buy a car and it doesn't work right, I'm not going to build my own; I
_payed_ the auto maker for that. Same can be said for anything from a
coffee maker to a pc.
Just my Sunday morning .02 rant :)

bah! whether a game is sold or not has virtually nothing to do with
quality.
so you're allowed to criticize GP3, but John isn't?

Yeah a game that exists that I have played and didnt like.
I'm just saying there are those who "do the work", and the rest of the world
just moans that it should be better. I would rather be one of the people
who makes a difference rather than someone who just talks about how it could
be better.

Although,
Its a little different when the product needs to be out in such a short
time, and has such a short life.
All the best

PS. Couldnt be bothered continuing with this discussion - got stuff to do.
Right. Stuff to do. Lint removal?
Yep, lets fire these guys and invest that money into... erm, what was I
talking about? ;-)

GP3 wasnt particularly buggy if a remember, except for the terrible network
"support", it just wasnt that good compared to what had happened in between
GP2 and GP3. I still think its unfair to judge GP4 before anyone here has
driven it.
All the best
