Since we haven't produced an F1 game, I'm curious as to which translation
we shouldn't do for the Playstation?

Rick,
As both a Playstation owner and a PC owner, and someone who owns both
NASCAR and IndyCar II, I would still buy IndyCar II if you put it out
on the Playstation, though I would not buy NASCAR for it. I keep
hearing that Papyrus is doing Nascar for the PSX and IndyCar for the
Saturn. Is this true? Why not do IndyCar for the PSX?
Randy
Sorry, I can't really comment on any Playstation/Saturn efforts.

a) I wouldn't mind running ICR2 on my 27" TV
b) Great Dolby Surround on the Playstation
c) for the time being, the Playstation is a smoother polygon-handler
than most PC's
d) 16-bit color instead of 256
e) effects that can't easily be done on the PC without special
hardware like transparency, fogging, rain conditions, etc.
There are many wonderful things the Playstation offers as hardware
features that would make IndyCar shine. The PC will catch up to this
when the new 3D boards take hold and people start writing highly tuned
Windows-95 based games that use them, but for the time being I
wouldn't mind playing ICR2 on a Playstation.
Oh, go to www.sony.com and navigate your way into the Playstation
games area and you'll see some shots of their F1 simulator that are
equal to or superior to the F1GP2 shots you see on the 'net.
