GP3.........(again)

I've just got a special edition of PC Format (in the UK) The PC Format Gold, special racing games edition, spring 1998. They have an interview with Geoff Crammond (God), in which he clearly states GP3 is on the cards, WHOOOooaaaaHhhhoooaaawwww!!!! He states he is not about to start GP3 from scratch, but he is going to continue to add to and refine the code used in GP2. No real details about GP3 were discussed, no release dates, or new features that might be incorporated, but he did mention that he was interested in what 3D cards are capable of, and GP3 will remain a sim, not an arcade type game. The interview talks mainly about his past, but at least now we know for definite, GP3 *is* on the way. BTW, this editon of PC Format is a great read, has loads on all the old driving games, and all the new, well worth shelling out for I thought? and I don't normally buy PC Format either! They also had a preview of Grand Prix Legends, which looks awesome, and the "in car" view now has *proper* drivers arms, not the planks of wood that were featured in earlier previews! (release date stated as April in the UK?) 8?) *Peter* 8-)

Just curious... Does PC Format have a site on the web?? "Peter Gagg" skrev i meldingen ... sNIP! ed_ on NROS Edwin Solheim, Norway http//:home.sol.no/~solhmrek "Early on, the cars were getting faster and faster. And with good reason: everybody was cheating." - Richard Petty

Sounds interesting, will have to give it a try when it's out. Im sure it wont be out until Spring of '99 (at least). Racing F1RS in the meantime, and loving it !! If he still doesn't know what 3D cards are capable of, then he's gotta alot of catching-up to do. :) I hope there's a simple***pit view in GPL. I have a Thrustmaster GP1 steering wheel, and I hate the thought of seeing my arms and steering wheel, right behind the games arm and wheel graphics. It really takes away from the immersion of driving the car yourself. Other than that, GPL looks very good.
