The Game on which the JV title is based says alot i think...yuo can call it a sim if the cars will be the cars of 2020?;) JV and Ubisoft have totally different idea's about it and they call it even a Urban racing game...says enough does it;) Just watch the press conference yourself.

Your Info is wrong. It's not F1rs3 they are talking about. Rs3 is developed by Ubisoft France i read and will be ready end of this year. Ubisoft Canada has signed the contract with JV and that title will be released somewhere in 2001. The project is called F1 racing in 20 years....JV want's everybody to experience the best way to get realism. JV will be having a big input in the stuff and i'm really happy to hear that....and the best thing is he want's it to be big online with contests and stuff. And about the Gameloft...that's old stuff too;) The Gameloft would have released already half year ago but thanks some guys of the rs2 community it got on hold and the engine is very good developed actually. I have been testing the beta version last couple of months and it still has it problems. But the interface fabulous...even the Vroc or the old Gameservice looks like nothing compared to this Portal. And the best thing of the Gameloft that it will get servers almost over the world. Ubi Soft and gameloft are not sitting still for sure. I can tell my info, it's just the Gameloft/Ubisoft Canada;) Brian "Racing Doctor" Balgobind "ymenard" <[email hidden]> schreef in bericht news:ZUC15.75910$[email hidden]... > I'm pretty quiet about Ubi Soft these past months.

Just listen to the press conference itself.....It won't be a F1 racing game at all. www.ubisoft.qb.ca "Brian V.

I'm pretty quiet about Ubi Soft these past months. Actually, I'm very happy about the way everything is going at the moment. So I'm sure some of you might say "What? Frank being soft on Ubi? Shocking!". No, they are just a little less worst than before ;) Like F1 2000 <vbg> ;-) Their next F1 title should be released at the end of 2001. That's basically 3 full years after MGPRS2, which was released a year after F1RS. That is a very long time actually, especially since both titles made good business in some markets (Qu�bec, France and many European countries with heavy F1 popularity). There will be 2 important thing about this new title (which release date might be sooner). New game engine and Internet multiplayer championship. Yep! A new game engine will be incredibly refreshing, considering it will battle with F1 2001 and Gp4 possibily. While I can't talk much about the new game engine, be sure that it's an incredible step above the old one. Even more than the old vs. new Papyrus game engine? No. Ubisoft works in a different way than Papyrus, and has multiple division of development spreaded around the world. It's fragmented also for the development of their racing line, so building a completely new game engine takes more time and is much less powerful. But still, it can't be worse than the old one, and I'm very happy of it. The other important thing is that Ubi Soft will create a web portal with an Internet multiplayer championship using that new title. http://www.gameloft.com/ will be the portal, actually creating 25 jobs here in Montr�al. How do I know that much? I cannot tell! ;) Basically, it will be similar to the NROS championship (not the normal racing but the championship we had during the end of 1998). Preliminary online races will be held and multiple division will then be created, racing for prizes and money.

I'm missing the irony here, but the accurate to the cm extra turns at Cleveland in C:PR was really nice :D > Conclusion: the tracks will be super-accurate, and with what's left of > the budget they'll create wireframe cars that run in the middle of the > track. <G> > > JoH -- Olav K.

Accidentally, according to rumours F1RS3 tracks will be developed using GPS. ("accuracy to the inch/cm"; where did we hear that before??) Conclusion: the tracks will be super-accurate, and with what's left of the budget they'll create wireframe cars that run in the middle of the track. <G> JoH

Of course, with the latest developments, some things might chance in this situation, and that's what I was told. They told me RS3 could easily be pushed back to merge those 2 titles into 1. Like I said, the release might be pushed back, I was told upon the possible USGP but I wrote the start of the next season since from what I saw it can't be ready for such an early release date. I was also told RS3 would be merged with the whole gameloft division after it's release. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

JV's association is just PR, like Arrows with Geoff Crammond. In the end, JV will have a global idea with the Ubisoft team at Montr�al doing everything else.
