I'm in the driving "sim" business

Note the quotes around "sim", that's meant to be toungue-in-cheek. ;-) Our game is firmly seated in the arcade driving category (though it does have 3D physics simulation - the driving model is probably most similar to Driver). We've been working "The Simpsons Road Rage" for about a year (I am one of the game's designers). It's just been demo'd and announced at E3. Here's the press release: "Finally, Radical Entertainment�s The Simpsons Road Rage for PS2 and Xbox relocates the series� characters and the town of Springfield into a driving game similar to Crazy Taxi. When Mr. Burns buys the Springfield Transit Corporation and jacks up the fares, the citizens haphazardly drive each other around town in order to earn enough money to buy back their transit system. Thirty-five characters populate 12 neighborhoods in this go-anywhere virtual Springfield." You can get a bit more info from a preview here: http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/previews/0,10869,2762271,00.html Joe McGinn _____________________ Radical Entertainment

How do you think it compares to GPL? KFG

It's WAAAYYY more realistic than that arcade trash... ...just kidding! ;-) Actually all three of the game designers are big GPL fans. We often have LAN races after-hours at the office. While our game is the polar opposite of GPL in most respects, the one characteristic of GPL we wanted to capture was that of constant danger, driving on the edge, the feeling that you're driving just a little bit faster than you should be.

Interesting, the license for "The Simpsons" is really taking off since about a year. The marketing dept. probably assumes the soon end of the show and wants to cash in the most with it (I mean, there hasn't been that much titles with it's license since the start of the 90's). -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...
