MicroProse, F1GP2 and all that s&$@

6 posts by 4 people · 17 Dec 1995 - 20 Dec 1995

Do those blokes (and girls...don't wish to offend by being sexist) from MicroProse know all about PR or what. First they spin shit about how good GP2 is and how they can get 20 fps with all detail on etc etc (on a Pentium of course) then they advertise that it will be released by mid September 1995 (yes they did give a year !!!). Now that they have finally release some sort of demo (after basically ignoring this newsgroup and not posting any updated information on the homepage for 9 weeks) they would appear to be unwilling or unprepared to accept the amount of traffic coming their way now!!! I have been getting connection denied messages for 2 days from both FTP and WWW so as far as I am concerned they can shove their piece of code so far up their arse I hope it gives them a f&%#(&! brain tumor (assuming anyone over there has one). I will not be buying the game if it ever does get released, I am sure I will be able to sample it some cheaper way !!, this will just leave more room on my shelf for NASCAR 4 and IndyCar Racing 7 as both of these games will probably be out around the same time. As far as I am concerned MicroProse can go to hell. Lets just hope that the recent happenings at Papyrus won't have the same effect over their. I wonder how we can get Rick and Geoff together, maybe they can start a new company? The products may be a LITTLE late but at least we would be treated like CUSTOMERS and not DIP SHITS. Phew......Time for another of those blue pills!! Bye A.B. PS. If anyone is awake at MicroProse my Email address is at the top of this post (thats the first part.......no you idiot, up the top) you could always try responding, but I suppose that will be coming in 6 months too right......will I need a P6 400 to recieve your message or will I have to be happy with VGA and 13fps?

You have to understand, MPS/SH by making a game so advanced, basically proved an insurance for gamers in the years that come that will guarantee that the game keeps with the standard for soem while.

Holy dingbats Batman, maybe you should take a whole BOTTLE of those blue pills of yours! Of course we're all upset that they've pushed back the release date of GP2, but man, relax! It's just a game - it'll come out sometime soon - time goes by fast. If you want to flame me, go ahead, but first look above at your message again and look at how you spazzed... Lonnie
one big SNIP Don't take it personally, if you ever get a real job I will start on you (if I can be bothered as it sounds a bit like you are an arse ***ing prat who believes anything you are told !!). I as a consumer have a right to my opinion just as you do to yours BUT I for one know that if I provided the same sort of service and LIES that MPS have been giving us I would be out on MY arse looking for a new job. I don't care if the game doesn't come out until Mar 2054 as long as we were given the truth and a little respect. Gotta go my chicken has just woken up. See ya A.B PS F*&$ off
