GP2: What's Next?

Just a thought: So what if Geoff Crammond leaves Microprose, and starts developing games with Papyrus? :) Be a good team, eh? Papyrus kinda smiles when you ask about F1, and then they say "no comment" or more recently, when someone here asked if they weren't developing an F1 game because of the limited US knowledge, Papy replied, "Who says we're limited to a US market?" -I know, total speculation, but wouldn't the two heavywieghts of racing sims pull off one kick-ass game? :) Btw- quotes are not exact, just the basic "feel" I got from Papyrus' postings here recently.... Good rumor anyways ;)

This is a good idea but the only problem I see is this. With Geoff striving for perfection the game would be about a year late and then with papy working on the patch, that'll come about, oh say 7 months late we would all be so disgusted and frustrated we'd trade our Pentiums for Gameboys. Karl

Geoff Crammond and Papyrus (sans Sierra of course) combining together on racing sims????? Boy, that would be paramount to a Microsoft-like *** on all that is speedy. The type of F1, BTCC, or <gasp> Le Mans sim a pairing like that could make???? It blows the mind. It's interesting that I see info. (CGW August 96) on Sid Meier leaving Microprose, "Wild Bill" left, and Geoff Crammond too? Is he really leaving? Will Microprose cease to exist? Who else is there?

> -I know, total speculation, but wouldn't the two heavywieghts of racing sims > pull off one kick-ass game? :) Not to snub F1/Indy/Nascar, but let's get some other racing, please! My personal preference is WRC Rally, but any variety would be nice - Touring cars, GTP, Superbike, Motorcycle GP, Baja, Dakar, Powerboats - There's more to motorsports than than just "open wheel" and Nascar!! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Neil Mouneimne | "I hate spreadsheets, | ---CS-Anime-Bab5-SegaAM-Mtn_Bikes-RPGs-Newton-Ducatis-Hk-Glock-Rally--
