anybody know a release date?
World Sports Cars release rumours: dead, delayed or moving publisher?
A poster asked again for the World Sports Cars release date, provoking jokes about how often it is asked. Andre Warringa linked rumours that WSC was dead, while Ruud van Gaal said the West brothers had split from Empire over its push for a more arcade-like game and quoted Chris West saying the future had never looked better. Others reported that West Racing might have filed for bankruptcy and that a Sierra publishing deal was unconfirmed.
Automated summary.

No.

Rumor is that WSC will be released, in modified form, on 3041.

The PS2 version has been split off quite some time ago; obviously the
CPU intensive code that the original PC version uses can't be used on
the PS2. The X-Box is somewhat more powerful, but as console racers
are very arcady, I wouldn't imagine the Wests even WANTING to work on
that version, even though the architecture of the X-Box is very much
parallel to the PC. In other words; Razorworks would be working on the
X-box version too.
So after a period of lets-do-it-ourselves-then (with the idea of
selling the game on the internet) it seems now it has found a
publishing home at Sierra.

Hey, finally some decent info! And Sierra seems a better choice than
Empire.. looking at N2002 Sierra does NOT want to release arcade games

Thanks for the heads-up.

The Sierra publishing deal is also a rumor. No one is speaking, nothing
has been confirmed. The only thing that is known is that the Wests are not
working with Empire and haven't been for at least 3 months. It also appears
as if West Racing has filed for bankruptcy. Is the game going to be
released? Doubtful.

Incorrect - Sierra are the US publisher for Empire - both Empire and Sierra
are owned by the same parent company.

the US by Empire...

If you have a killer flight sim and you are going to release it in the
States, do you want to use the publishing name that so totally bolixed Red
Baron 2d no wait 3d, no thats(3d) not possible 2d, no we just need a patch
3d, nono we can't possibly get it out in less than 2 years if we choose 3d,
but we have already DONE the 3d work, but but.... ???
No I think, if I'm releasing a flight sim title, I keep far far away from
Sierra.
A racing title, that is another story...you have the built in fanbase from
the Papyrus products.
Most likely Verant/Havas assigns titles to whichever publisher they see fit.
In this case, since they own both Empire and Sierra they could choose to use
both for different parts of the world.

At the moment Red Baron 3D is the only flight sim I have on my HD, and

it right.
I feel pretty much the same way about CPR. The problem with CPR wasn't that
it sucked, but rather that it was *almost* great, but nonetheless missed.
CPR was the first disc I actually threw away. I got tired of reinstalling
it to find out if I could like it this time. Eventually if just got tired
of being frustrated yet *again.*
I guess I needed a CPR 12 step program. One of their tenets is that, "
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting
different results each time."
