Re: N4 Screenshot at Papy site?

Papyrus posts a NASCAR 4 screenshot

Papyrus's new 'screenshot of the week' showed a detailed Dover with the caption 'We've been busy', which readers took as the first look at NASCAR Racing 4 on the GPL engine. Estimates of the release date ranged from October 2000 to a year away. Readers noticed the letterboxed format, and the thread turned to birthday greetings.

Automated summary.

Let's hope you can just copy your GPL tracks into Nascar 4 and race them ! That would be SOOOOO cool :) _ Jarno Thorsten Rueter wrote:

There's a new 'screenshot of the week' at Papyrus' website. If you move your mouse pointer over it, it says: "We've been busy..." It's a shot of Dover Downs and it looks *very* detailed...Maybe the long awaited Nascar4?? -Thorsten Rueter

You'll be surprised how long Nascar Racing 4 is in development, and how close we are from a release. The second title by Papyrus using their new game engine will at 99% be released before the end of this year. -- -- 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.

Nah, N4 was in development as N3 at least a year before the current version of N3, which is a re-hashed version of N2, was forced into production by the delay in the release of N3, which it turns out will be N4. Get that? ;) Expected release is October 2000. Scott PA-Scott PowerSims.com -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

Screenshots and the little movie with actual cars running on Watkins Glen complete with n2-style wheels. I suck at web programming, so I'm having to figure out how to put it all up. But I will. Soon. Later. -Mark

Anyone notice that the pic is in letterbox format as GPL is?Maybe theyll add the tire wear graphs in the unused spaces. Later On Tue, 25 Apr 2000 09:11:49 GMT, [email hidden] (Andre Warringa) wrote:

I, too, have noticed that, and I hope it means they are supporting wide-aspect ratio screen resolutions. If that is the case (please say it is so, Papy), then N4 would really rock on a Sony GDM-W900 (24" widescreen monitor).
