GP2 delay

It's pretty obvious isn't it that GP2 isn't as nearly ready as magazines would have us believe. If it were, there'd be some kind of demo available. I have to say all these comments on MicroProse waiting for Pentiums to become more prevalent are rubbish - even if the game is high-specced you don't shorten the life of your product by artificially delaying it. I'm lucky enough to have just upgraded to a P120 and I'm certain GP2 will play brilliantly on it. Why? Crammond's "track" record, ho ho. -- MarkN
SH-MPS have repeatedly stated that there will be NO DEMO until the game is released because there are only so many hours in the day and they feel that the time is better spent getting the game perfect than making a demo. (The VKarts demo didn't come out until after VK was released either - mind you, the more cynical among us might think that this was a deliberate attempt to sell some copies before everyone realized how ***it was...) --

Is Virtual Karts really THAT BAD? I haven't even seen a DEMO yet... I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!? Eldred Pickett
