Did anyone else see this

From Digitalsports.com NASCAR 2001 by EA Sports for PlayStation For the first time, the world center of racing appears in a NASCAR videogame. Race against the pack in the Daytona 500! for the complete article go to http://www.digitalsports.com/dsports/ps5/nascar2001/profile.html We wait for 6 years to finally get daytona in a papyrus game and ea now manages to get daytona for their watered down playstation game. Hopefully this means ISC has become more willing to license the rights to use daytona, which could be promsing for Nascar 4.

Doubt it...I am sure EA got the exclusive rights that Sega used to have. The Daytona owners think their track is so special it's worthy of its own game. Too bad for all of us. Marc. "Patrick Shumar" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

yeah, I would think EA just plunked down the cash to scoop up Daytona for the next 7 years...(or there abouts) I think we'll see Daytona in a Papy sim just about the time a new cart sim is produced by them, or just about the time CART and the Northern Lights Search engine league get back together. dave henrie Patrick Shumar wrote:

A good source has told me that DIS has been liscensed to 4 companies for video games. We know EA and Hasbro are two of those companies. I would bet that Sega is the third, as they have an arcade game and an upcoming Dreamcast title. So, that leaves us with the 4th company. Papyrus won't comment either way, publicly. It will be very interesting to see. Either NASCAR 4 will have DIS, or there is another NASCAR game on the horizon that no one knows anything about. -Jeff * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

Well if Papy doesn't get Daytona when Hasbro and EA have it, then Sierra (their parent investment/funding partners) should be shot. Marc. "Jeff Downey" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'm not very familiar with other NASCAR racing games other than Papyrus but how does their Daytona's compare to the one released most recently? I'm wondering which company does the best job at replicating tracks in general. Thanks. Andrew Marc Collins wrote:
