Troll urges Hasbro to beat Papyrus with NASCAR Heat

18pACK claimed that NASCAR Heat beat NASCAR 4 and that Hasbro should seize the market, which most dismissed as trolling. David G Fisher argued that EA had produced more sims recently than Papyrus, and posters clarified who developed which titles, including ISI, MGI and Digital Illusions.

Say what? Hasbro had a great opportunity, getting their product to market sooner, with a good physics engine. I think they really missed the boat with that one. I was all pumped up for Heat, bought it as soon as it became available in the stores here in my area, kept it on my hard drive until the first patch, the gave up and deleted it. I really had high hopes for Heat, once I got my first look at N4, I knew they(hasbro) had missed the boat. But hey, if there ever is a Heat2, I will give it a try also. -- Don Burnette "18pACK" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Cwii6.12947$[email hidden]... > This is Hasbro's big chance to slap papy down and take over the NASCAR sim > market!!!! > > Hasbro-you've got papy beat in graphics, physics, scalability, playability > and much more-now just patch that damn yellow flag mess and run with it!!!! > > > >

They need a lot more than a patch :) Though my Cable Company can't seem to get their latency problems fixed (Thank You Cox Cable Fairfax), and you can't run online when latencies are exceeding a full second, N4 has the best multiplayer of anything coded so far. -Larry "18pACK" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Cwii6.12947$[email hidden]... > This is Hasbro's big chance to slap papy down and take over the NASCAR sim > market!!!! > > Hasbro-you've got papy beat in graphics, physics, scalability, playability > and much more-now just patch that damn yellow flag mess and run withit!!!! > > > >

A hell of a lot more people play N3 than play NH and I would even venture to say more than the other games you listed. Have you ever gone online Won and seen how many people are there every night playing N3? Heck, how many does Raceserver have signed up themselves.. over 9000 I think and they are a 3rd party utility.

You're half-right, rrevved -- MGI did Viper Racing, but it was Image Space Incorporated (ISI) who brought us SCGT. FWIW, ISI was also responsible for F1 2000 and F1 Championship Season 2000. Also FWIW, Digital Illusions did the STCC game "(Swedish Touring Car Championship," I believe). I'm just a wealth of semi-useless knowledge . . . <G> -- JB

Yeah, but I'll take GPL and N4 alone against all of those others combined. The depth is just incredible. I will admit however, that EA is getting better - I thought they did a pretty good job with F12000 and now F12000CS. I had F12000 on my hard drive for a while, and had tried F12000CS demo - not bad. The only sims I tend to keep on my hd for any length of time though are by Papy - well, with the exception of flight sims, I kept the ones from Janes on for quite some time - at least while they were producing flight sims. -- Don Burnette "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:lOmi6.54415$[email hidden]... > SBK2001, F12000, F12000CS, RC2000, yeah, they sure don't know how to make > sims at EA. > > What the hell has Papyrus put out since GPL (2 1/2 friggen years ago)?
