Racing Legends.....

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 Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

I've got some inside information, but I can't share it. What I can say without breaking any trusts is "two weeks".

It will always be "two weeks" away from completion. Andi. "Internet User" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3d4b5da5$[email hidden]...

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". -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

But it should - and it could, if people wanted it to. -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

Well, from a purely logical point of view it is absolutely impossible to prove that he's always wrong :-) Norbert

bad idea. if they said that it would take exactly 5 minutes until "WRL got the ferrari!" got thrown around the net, and then, when the game finally arrived, it'd get pounded for not having the promised Ferraris after all. -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 "a poster is a human being or the software equivalent"

Lol, two weeks till they announce that yes they are working on Racing Legends and no, they don't have an estimated release date yet? :) EA and Papy have to be laughing their butts off. I sure hope the Wests' prove them wrong, but so far their track record ain't that good. Don Burnette

Their track record? You mean track record of created games? F-16 Combat Pilot (Electronic Arts, 1989), 007: Licence To Kill (Atari, Domark, 1989), Super Space Invaders (C64, Domark, 1991), R.I.S.K. (C64, The Edge 1987), Cyberball (C64, Atari, Domark/Tengen 1990).... Just a fast search in Google. I'm sure there are plenty more :-) /Carl

So by that, they have been working on WSC/RL for the past 12 years?? :-) -- Tim Doyle TDRacin� Online TeamECR Sim MotorSports www.TeamECR.com VRW Team Owner www.VirtualRacingWorld.com "Carl Ribbegaardh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aik3kf$14u2vq$[email hidden]... > > Their track record? > You mean track record of created games? > F-16 Combat Pilot (Electronic Arts, 1989), 007: Licence To Kill (Atari, > Domark, 1989), Super Space Invaders (C64, Domark, 1991), R.I.S.K.
