Infogrames is eyeing Hasbro -- what will this mean for racing sims in the long run? Will Infogrames be more sim-friendly than Hasbro, I wonder? Will this be good for GP3 in terms of follow-on games, and NASCAR Heat as well? Infogrames holds the exclusive license to the Indy 500, so maybe we'll see something along those lines if they gobble up Hasbro? Right now, Infogrames doesn't have much in the way of driving games beyond Driver and the Dirt Track Racing titles from the Wizard Works division, so you never know what might happen. Here's the blurb that caught my eye: http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/news/3743.html NASCAR Heat and GP3 would be nice additions to Infogrames' catalog, and good titles to build on in the future. Could be good news, perhaps. -- JB Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
Considering HASBRO's track record with previous fan favorites <cough...FALCON 4.0>, I'm thinking any new ownership is better than HASBRO. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:907f49$h6a$[email hidden]...
