hi isn't this about time for GP4 to go GOLD yet ???
> hi > > isn't this about time for GP4 to go GOLD yet ??? Huh? Crammond's seen the F1 2002 demo and he's shaking in his boots. He's gone back to the drawing board just like he did with his last two 'efforts.' True to form, he'll delay the game for about 6-12 months and then probably throw his hands in the air and just release whatever crap he's managed to dash off.
Release has been delayed by a week, June 16th I think, so not too long to wait. Unless you live in the USA, I think it's release there 3 mths later :P Rafe Mc On Thu, 30 May 2002 09:40:02 +0800, "John Metcow" <[email hidden]> wrote: >hi > >isn't this about time for GP4 to go GOLD yet ??? >

No point in being optimistic about a Crammond title. Doug

That would had been true, if Geoff ever went to the drawing board to really redesign those last two 'efforts' ;-) > True to form, he'll delay the game for about 6-12 months and then probably > throw his hands in the air and just release whatever crap he's managed to > dash off.

which is a good reason to wait since if it DOES SHIP AS a xbox products most of the bugs will be out since you CAN'T PATCH a xbox game right ?? so it a way , that is good news E3 seems to be all about console, don't you think again, it could be the turn around PC gamers needed since both format for PC/ Xbox is released the bugs would be WAAAAAY reduced "jlohman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:40AJ8.133723$[email hidden]... > > > > isn't this about time for GP4 to go GOLD yet ??? > > > > I think we're awaiting GP2 to go gold at thismoment ;) > > I think the main reason to reason GP4 was to get iton the xbox. > >

I wonder how often that happens - a developer sees a competitor's product, so changes their timeline to add more stuff? It seems like a double edged sword. The second product might see all the mistakes people complained about in the first one. But, if most people bought the first release, they might not shell out the money for the second release, no matter HOW good it is...
