NASCAR Racing 4

Hey all, I felt it necessary to follow up on my interview and clarify a few of the hottest topics. NASCAR Racing 4 is scheduled to ship in Q1 of 2001. Don't ask me the exact date and I will tell you no lies<VBG>. As for multiplayer, the 43 player support is dependent upon bandwidth. Obviously depending on the the network setup, whether it be a LAN, TCP/IP or what have you, the quality of the experience will be based off the bandwidth available. This is brand new multiplayer code and not based off of our previous NASCAR products. We have been working on this code since the release of GPL. N4 will include dedicated server support. We will release this product with better multiplayer support than N3 had but as I stated in the interview, I am not at liberty to go into details and tell you exactly what that support will be. I want to reiterate what I said at the end of the interview: "There has been a belief that Papyrus doesn't know or care about what the community wants to see from us but we are that community. Believe me when I say that I want to see online racing prosper. But I don't want to start making promises, nor set deadlines on what it is that we will deliver until I'm sure that I can make those commitments." I stand behind this statement. As we get closer to shipping this product, I hope to communicate more to you. Scott

Thanks for the update, Scott. Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +51.95 Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Thanks for the comments Scott. Be prepared when you come back. There will ALWAYS be a few here who's goal in life is to trash developers.. :) We certainly benefit when folks like you and Ed Martin drop by. It is very easy to have rumours get started and clear information is usually the best way to prevent that. VERY GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE MULTI-PLAYER updates. thanks dave henrie "Scott Stutsman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8n1l0l$774$[email hidden]... > Hey all, > > I felt it necessary to follow up on my interview and clarify a few of the > hottest topics. > > NASCAR Racing 4 is scheduled to ship in Q1 of 2001.

Thank you, Scott for taking the time to visit us and ditto what Dave said. There will always be people who trash the ones on the cutting edge. They should thank their lucky stars for all the Papy sims.

I don't think Robbie has come down off cloud-9 from that 4th place finish to even know about the Jeff Gordon/Tony Stewart confrontation... :-) I like seeing someone ruffle Jeff's feathers. Man that Stewart has a temper though. Should be an interesting couple races coming up. Dave Ericson "MomoBoy" JDB Racing Uncle Fester wrote:

They seem to show it once a week on RPM2Nite on ESPN2, especially this week with the Stewart vs. Gordon thing brewing up memories of fights in the past.

no at the Glen. Jeff was upset because he is having a tough season, and this was his race to win. Tony Stewert was upset because he always is. They got into it at the beginning of the race, Gordon ended up tapping the wall, Stewert got out pretty good, I don't remember who's fault I thought it was. DOES go to show you that NHdemo's cars sticking together is a tad unrealistic.
