Hi, Maybe you know the game was on the shelves when they found a huge bug. Mid June is now the time, they (MP) say in a press release to all suppliers.

What year? Marco -- Looking for .sig, please hold.

There dates I have found are usually >> fairly accurate. >I just called MPS and they told me mid AUGUST, what a joke man Hi there, We are not announcing a release date at teh present time since we don't have one. I suppose you called MicroProse Europe? In any case, I am waiting for some news about GP2 to be posted here soon. Best, Joker[SH/MPS Support]

For SH/MPS... Considering all the talk that's going around about this sim, I would like to ask a few questions that perhaps havent't yet been answered, or even asked... 1. What is the MAIN reason for the delay, besides the fact that the programmers wish to obtain perfection? Is there a MAJOR bug? Did you not burn enough copies for the intense demand your noticing? Is it political or is it programmer related? Are you redoing ALL the car models to reflect the new and safer F1***pits and overall car design? 2. Can someone please update the Home Page for this thing. How ironic is it that you have an HTML that's called "The very latest from Geoff Crammond" and it hasn't been updated in about 4 months. Did he pass away? If that is the case, then this must be the lastest... If you're gonna update any HTML, let it be this one. We've seen all the screen shots and read all the reviews, but would just like to know what's going on behind Geoff's desk. Does he have a few minutes a week to write one paragraph to let us poor saps know if he's still working on this thing? I'm starting to know how my mom must feel, I should probably write her, it's been a few weeks... 3. How come I keep hearing the game will ship with what will be a representation of the 1994 season on the grid? If the cars look like the '95s, lacking 3D model redesign, at least throw the '96 drivers in there. I wouldn't expect a motorcycle sim to ship with Freddie Spencer and Eddie Lawson riding the bikes. (...slight exagerration) 4. (Not a question, a request...) Please don't waste any time on a demo. I hope that's not causing ANY delay. I'm gonna buy the real thing based on what I've read. I know it's gonna be great, we all know it's gonna be great, so if someone still doesn't believe it's gonna be great, I'll invite them over and let them play before they pay, cause demos just are just a waste of download time. Peope get a little dissappointed after downloading 8meg worth of demo and only get to drive two laps. After the release, throw a demo on one of those CDs game magazines are now giving away free for all the people who still don't believe... Thanks, ::: Deknami :::

I got some news for all about GP II. This was just handed to us to post on-line: Regarding your Grand Prix II inquiry: Grand Prix II will provide the ultimate in realism, with every aspect of the Formula One circuit re-created with incredible accuracy and detail. In addition to the actual courses that make up the Grand Prix circuit, the game will include full pitching and rolling, spectacular crashes, engine blowups, enhanced camera views, a replay feature, five levels of opponent ability, and richly detailed 3-D effects. We have made some significant enhancements over the last several months, most notably, the addition of spectacular crashes in the game. We anticipate shipping Grand Prix II mid to late Summer. Best, Joker[SH/MPS Support]

Anybody like to speculate on what this means exactly? Bang goes the June date if you ask me. Ah well.... -- (Steve) "'Cos It's lonely here, in the ugly part of town, The buildings are all vacant, and the telephones are down" - Beck, Painted Eyelids.

Yeah thats great but you still havn't told us which YEAR.

>Yeah thats great but you still havn't told us which YEAR. Oh please, that one is getting really tired nowadays. Looks like end of summertime doesn't it?! A time frame always says the END of said time frame to me. Stuart -- Stuart Booth Somewhere in Godalming, England, UK

My estimate is Xmas of 96. (remember you heard it here first) :) I think it's done, they are just holding out till we all have at least p180's. <G>

I asked in *** Megastore on Saturday 18th and they have a release date of 16/06/96 a Saturday if I am not mistaken they seem to release stuff on Sat for some odd reason !!! I just hope my P100 PC and S3 2mb GFX Card can take GP2 in SVGA mode with a good frame rate ???? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Somewhere, deep in the jungle, are living some little men and women.

I now doubt very much whether GP2 will *ever* make it to retail. It is already *worst* managed software release I've ever heard of, apart from the possible exception of Win95 :) In any case, by XMas'96 (tm) , we'll be running P6-300's complete with PlayStation emulators.

Hello, According to a couple of different software vendors the date should be on June 15, 1996 which is a Friday. Hey it is just in time for the Canadian Grand Prix. Timing or what? Erick J. Davis

Sorry to upset you Stuart but down here in Australia we have just finished Summer until December!!!! Anthony

>I now doubt very much whether GP2 will *ever* make it to retail. You're entitled to your opinion. Even if it's wrong. :-) Nonsense. Crammond holds the slavering SH-MPS pack at bay to ensure that GP2 is worth buying in its first release and all everyone can do is complain about it. These are the same people who blaster them for releasing VKarts and GPManager quickly in completely botched form. You can't have it both ways. People, get lives! Surely your existences don't revolve around waiting for GP2? The only "mismangement" on SH-MPS's part is their inability to be honest about not having a release date. At least people will want to buy GP2. *grin* --

For what it's worth ( and that ain't much ! ) I saw a date of 30-Jun-96 posted on a Software Vendor's Home Page ( Computer Express ) I'd have to agree that the continuously delays are a bit stupid, but, I'd rather wait for the finished/polished product to come out. ( I'm also delaying my next PC purchase just to make sure I have a machine that will work well with GP2....... ) : >I now doubt very much whether GP2 will *ever* make it to retail. : You're entitled to your opinion.

>>> Looks like end of summertime doesn't it?!

I forgot about the other side of the world!!!! But if Microprose do a GPManager on us, then we might see F1GP2 out here in the UK before many other places, so "summertime" could be somewhat appropriate here after all! If we're lucky that is. We'll see. Sorry about forgetting my place in the world! Stuart -- Stuart Booth Somewhere in Godalming, England, UK

True summer begins June 21/22 and ends September 21/22. Assuming "summer" does NOT mean the hot weather season of southern CA, that would peg a release at the EARLIEST as early AUGUST and as late as mid-September. So much for June.

Ahhh, the thrill of the chase, as it were. How often has that been the best bit. Not that I'm saying the anticipation for GP2 is going to be better than the end result of course. Stuart -- Stuart Booth Somewhere in Godalming, England, UK
