Interview with senior designer for Papyrus Richard Yasi

www.gooddealgames.com/interviews/int_Richard_Yasi.html Good news : Papy sticks firmly on realistic simulation (I never doubt ) Sad news : No more historic sims - no market I just hope that Motor City Online and Rally Tropfy will open market.

Well, talking about NASCAR Legends he said "I'm a big fan of historic racing. In many ways, I think it's vastly superior to the heavily sanitized racing and cardboard personalities we see at the track these days. Unfortunately, that title didn't exactly fly off the shelves. The public seems to have little interest in historic racing, so I doubt that we'd ever do another historic stock car title. But, in this industry you never say never." So maybe another historic open wheel sim isn't out of the question :) -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "Mario Petrinovic" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9n8f1s$8965$[email hidden]... > www.gooddealgames.com/interviews/int_Richard_Yasi.html > > Good news : > Papy sticks firmly on realistic simulation (I never doubt ) > Sad news : > No more historic sims - no market > > I just hope that Motor City Online and Rally Tropfy > will open market. > > > >

Well, I get the impression that not only is one not in production, but they haven't even talked about it enough to *think* about it...

The way I interped it is that another historic *stockcar* sim is out of the question. We've allready heard that both Kaemmer and Cassidy would love to do a sequel to GPL or a modern open wheel sim.. so I find it hard to believe that thats all of a sudden out of the question. -- ed_

Just because they would love to doesn't mean the Sierra 'suits' will allow it... :( Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett F1 hcp. +16.36...Monster +360.54...

Except that Kaemmer is said to have left Papy some time ago. Maybe Sierra/Papy isnt interested in historic racing, but Kaemmer seems to be more than capable of finding another team of people and do what he likes to do (except run in his real openwheeler) Martijn >The way I interped it is that another historic *stockcar* sim is out of the >question. > >We've allready heard that both Kaemmer and Cassidy would love to do asequel

The bit about Kaemmer leaving was squashed pretty quickly by Papyrus. I wouldn't go reading too much into what Yasi did or didn't say. Papyrus has had a policy from the very beginning of not discussing upcomming projects until they have been officially announced. Trying to read between the lines will only set us up for heartbreak or frustration. "IF" somebody at Papy says they are working on a new open wheel title..THEN we can get all excited. But to try and parse what he inferred by not saying yes or no is futile. dave henrie "�artijn" <ï¿[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9nbp4d$2g1$[email hidden]... > Except that Kaemmer is said to have left Papy some time ago. > Maybe Sierra/Papy isnt interested in historic racing, but Kaemmer seems to > be more than capable of finding another team of people and do what helikes > to do (except run in his real openwheeler) > > Martijn > > >The way I interped it is that another historic *stockcar* sim is out ofthe > >question. > > > >We've allready heard that both Kaemmer and Cassidy would love to do a > sequel > >to GPL or a modern open wheel sim.. so I find it hard to believe thatthats

What did they (Sierra) expect? They released the highly-anticipated NASCAR3 in October 1999 or so, then quietly slipped NASCAR Legends out the door 30 days later. It's a given that it (Legends) will have less appeal to many of today's newer/younger fans, but if you don't promote it and you release it in the shadow of your blockbuster annual sim, WTF do you expect?!? <sigh> "But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

The split has killed any chance of PAPY making a modern CART sim Papy will continue to produce nothing but Nascar sims The end has come very sadly....... :( Let's all thank Tony george for saving American open wheel racing!!!!!! Someone please shoot him! If you want a modern CART sim put all your hope behind www.champweb.net/ISI/EA SPORTS Please email ISI and EA Sports and tell em you want a modern CART sim There is no market for it according to PAPY - for them its Nascar Nascar Nascar - although they would love to do a modern CART sim if they were ALLOWED too..........
