Not much new stuff... new car paints schemes, a couple of new tracks (only of Winston Cup Series btw)... It seems to be mainly aimed at new sim drivers or people that found N4 a bit too difficult (i.e. including new driving aids and driving lessons). One cool feature: the possibility of adding your own sounds (music?) and graphic to replays. $50 US still seem a bit steep, but then again other gaming companies also sell "new" products every year (just look at EA: F1 2000, F1 2001, the whole NHL Hockey franchise, etc).

This is a good thing; just a few tweaks to N4, all done by January '02, and then the Papy crowd have plenty of time then to spend on OTHER pursuits... ;-) SB "Philster" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Any bet's on whether it'll be backwards compatible with N4 online?

Yet another item from Papy, well Sierra, that I believe could be a patch. Maybe a large patch but there are plenty of GAMES out there that have large patches. I'd rather pay $20 for a 70m patch than go to a store and buy a $50 patched version of what I already have. I have always supported Papy and will continue to do so, but in many ways I feel were being robbed by Sierra, AGAIN.

I can appreciate the sentiment, Charlie - But my own (biased/twisted) view is that the better returns Sierra can milk out of their cash cow, the more agreeable they'll be to Papy's spending time & resources on something more palatable for those of us of the open wheel/right turn persuasion. It's a common refrain from musicians; give the publishers a hit or two and you can do what you want with the rest of the disc. So - bring on the "B" side! SB PS - Be interesting to see if N2002's online-compatible with N4, eh?

Either that or, "the more people buy what should be a patch, the more stupid and gullable the average consumer will prove the Sierra theory on how to milk a milked cow" :) Tim White INTRAC Motorsports www.birds-i-view.com/intrac Steve Blankenship <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:EEGW7.225$[email hidden]... > I can appreciate the sentiment, Charlie - > > But my own (biased/twisted) view is that the better returns Sierra canmilk out of their cash cow, the more agreeable they'll be to > Papy's spending time & resources on something more palatable for those ofus of the open wheel/right turn persuasion.
