It says much about Geoff Crammond's earlier achievements that the whole of the r.a.s community is panicking that GP3 might not be with us on July 28th. It usually says much when a game is not made available for extensive press review prior to launch. Of course we all know that the likelihood of GP3 being a dud is about the same as Gaston Mazzacane winning the real F1 world championship this year. My bet is that expectations are so high that Hasbro doesn't wish to kill the current massive hype by any suggestion that this game is anything less than the second, or in this case third, arrival of the Messiah. All we can do, race fans, is to wait - just pray that we're not made to wait any longer than two weeks from this Friday.

News on the Wednesday, July 12, 2000: Grand Prix 3 Finished! Grand Prix 3 is now officially finished according to Chris Boas from GrandPrix3.de (German Site) who told me that GameStar (Also German site!) have official confirmation that Grand Prix 3 is finished and will be going gold (duplicated) in the next coupefle of days: "GP3 is finished. During the next few days the Master-CD is going to be copied." So, looks like the 28th July release for Europe is definate!

GP2 was available for"an extensive press release" over 6-months before retail. And as for the entire "RAS community panicking".....give us a break!! Some of us do have lives. :-) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Chris Wright <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8kiltt$nck$[email hidden]... > It says much about Geoff Crammond's earlier achievements that the whole of > the r.a.s community is panicking that GP3 might not be with us on July 28th. > > It usually says much when a game is not made available for extensive press > review prior to launch. > > Of course we all know that the likelihood of GP3 being a dud is about the > same as Gaston Mazzacane winning the real F1 world championship this year. > > My bet is that expectations are so high that Hasbro doesn't wish to kill the > current massive hype by any suggestion that this game is anything less than > the second, or in this case third, arrival of the Messiah. > > All we can do, race fans, is to wait - just pray that we're not made to > wait any longer than two weeks from this Friday. > > > >
