No, by realizing who the strongest opponents of the game are (without even having the illegal warez copy!) I'm quite sure I will LOVE GP3. -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved.

or maybe all versions have had the number 1.00 in them up until now, and that'll only change if there's a patch after release. Dennis <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

So what you are saying is that they also 'patched' the exe to show version 1.00 or maybe the final version is >1.00? Dennis.

This is called wishfull thinking: All you guys that ordered the game are just PRAYING that the official release will be better. I just wouldn't bet my money on it :) Just wait and see.

Whether it is the final version or not, if you are expecting dramatic improvements from the warez version to the official release I think you will be greatly disappointed. -- Man O' Silver Chatham <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > How do I know this you ask? > > Well, the ripper group "Class", the one`s who released the rip, > sais in the NFO file that the game was released on the July 21th, 2000. > If this is the case, why has it been on several different ftp bases for > several weeks with the specific order not to be distributed before this > date? > This is a fact, I know because I visit one of these ftp sites regularly. > The rip and the iso are from the same BETA edition, but NOT from the > final. > Thank god, cos` there`s a lot of minor bugs in the rip and iso. > Even some AI bugs.

My only question is... when is July 21th, 2000 ?? Is that on or around the 21st? ;) LOL Scott PA-Scott

How do I know this you ask? Well, the ripper group "Class", the one`s who released the rip, sais in the NFO file that the game was released on the July 21th, 2000. If this is the case, why has it been on several different ftp bases for several weeks with the specific order not to be distributed before this date? This is a fact, I know because I visit one of these ftp sites regularly. The rip and the iso are from the same BETA edition, but NOT from the final. Thank god, cos` there`s a lot of minor bugs in the rip and iso. Even some AI bugs. The CC can get really agressive, they drive like you not even there sometimes. After playing the rip from last Saturday, and the iso from this Tuesday I really look farward to the final. btw...the game runs fine on a P2-450Mhz/Voodoo2/128Mb ram PC, but for the real eye candy a P3-800/GeForce2 is a killer. Not to brag or anything, but the game at 1280x1024 with everything on must be seen! WOW ! Anyway..after waiting for almost 2 years the wait is soon over. I know what I`ll be doing this Friday :-)) Cheers.

Not so sure that is a good criterium. I simply *never* assign any value to their opinion, whether they are slashing a sim or not... :-) JoH
