I fancy the interpretation that he means "network play" instead of "online play". I guess this means that GP3 will be utter crap after all? ;-) JoH ------- The best way to accelerate a Mac is 9.81 m/s2 -------- --------------------------------------------------------------

I saw yesterday a interview on a local cable channel (Vox (I think) here in Quebec) about GP3. Very good I got my first "live" pictures of the game, a lot more clear than real-video stuff.. Anyways, they showed a portion of GP3 in the rain and it looked great. You could see the puddles of water and the spray coming off at the back if the cars. Track condition reminded me of the rain effect in SCGT, if only better. They also said that the game may run later than the july 28 date because they were tweating online play (with up to 16 players). If this is all true, we're in for a treat! -- Philippe Sergerie ICQ#: 16192023

I don't really know how bad it is, I just know it's there because I could see the spay coming up at the back of the car from the mirrors only, there was no other cars in front. Harjan Brand wrote:

Do you think that pressure from net people made the reconsider the online play? All those "liars" claiming they won't buy the game if it doesn't have online play actually achieving something? I can understand GC/Hasbro leaving some features out of the game so they can sell GP4 ( BTW if you try to type gp4 with capital letters and you don't release `shift` for 4 you get GP$ :-)))). But on the other hand, online play and other candies in GP3 would sell even more copies of GP4. Why? With full-feature GP3 you sell A LOT of copies. You get a large base of GP3 sim enthusiasts and GP3 players ( we all know that GP series attracted both simers and more arcade players ) all getting the taste of online thrill ( if FIA won't give them permission for official online play they can leave the code open for somebody else to do it ). Now, 1 year later we have GP4 out with some small improvements but incompatible with GP3 for online play. As a lot of GP3 owners buy GP4 the rest will follow so they can race other folks on that new Indianapolis track or whatever... Will they feel they got ripped by Hasbro? Maybe. But not more than all those EA Sports NBAxx/NHLxx players! I heard that Hasbro got licence for 98,99,2000 seasons ( is that true? ) and the way they are doing it now they will have a good/perfect sim based based on 2000 season out in 2001/2002 that will sell very well but they will lose on GP3 and GP4 ( i would say that many people from North America will not buy GP3, GP4 as they want online play ( better connections ) and will stick to Nascar3/4, GPL, maybe even that horrible EA F1 2000 ). And they say it's a pretty big game market over there :-) On the other hand, GC and the team were maybe just lazy and are trying to earn as much as they can with as little effort as possible. That, however, would/will get them in trouble soon. There, i've jumped on the GP3 frenzy train, too. Borut

That's be good. I'd be really prepared to lay out hard cash to take the chance that I run a season in GP3 where every race is sodden and I can't see a bloody thing! :-) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Harjan Brand <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:jhv_4.4491$[email hidden]... > How bad was the spray, personally I hope you won't see a thing when > following someone. > > "Philster" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:[email hidden]... > > I saw yesterday a interview on a local cable channel (Vox (I think) here > > in Quebec) about GP3.
