By the time GP3 will show up we will be already talking about F1RS3... ;^) l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Your right. It's gonna be hard for F1RS2 to compete with GP3, since GP3 won't even be on store shelves when Ubi releases their sequel. F1RS2 will be released in this fall, and GP3 will be lucky to hit store shelves in Spring '99. My guess is you'll see it in the Fall of '99 (just in time for F1RS3).

Your totally correct, hardly any copies of f1rs2 will be sold once gp3 comes out. That would be because it would be over a year after f1rs2 has been released. Your totally correct.

Fala Roberto, Vi que voce brasileiro e pelo visto tem o F1RS. J jogou online ,pelo Kali.? Se estiver interessado me avise Rafael Medeiros > Is there anybody with ome info about the F1RS 2 -project?

Drum roll please! That one will leave a mark ;)

I can understand some of you American customers are miffed because you feel F1RS2 is coming out "too soon" after F1RS, but don't forget you got your F1RS months later than European customers. If you are lucky, you will also get F1RS2 half a year later than Europe, so there's plenty of extra time for you to play F1RS. :) I don't see any problem with F1RS2, since if it isn't much enough more to justify its purchase after F1RS, I won't buy it. As simple as that. Ok, considering that... ...I can't understand how you could jump into this kind of conclusion. Is GP3 coming out anyway? Didn't Microprose deny its existence?

Nope, I live in Montreal, Qubec, in the heart of all F1RS and F1RS2 (most if not all the programming and testing was done here at the Ubisoft HQ). It's incredible that the 100+ playtesters AND game designers AND programmers arrived with this bugged product. Most of those playtesters didn't know a heck of what was a racing simulators, compared to other companies like Papyrus where you nead real racing and comprehension of the physics of racing, etc... No wonder why F1RS is very bad at some points. I have F1RS since November of 1997. I know it will not be a major improvment. It's like F1 to F1:CE. Or Burnout to the Burnout special edition. They are just making you pay 50$ instead of patching F1RS (whos is clearly still way to buggy). IMHO Yeah but that's Microprose. And it's Microprose. Another time <all in cheers> "It's Microprose" ;-) Geoff told he is doing Gp3, and actually getting out of his multi-million mansion on his private island to do it, so it has to be true. - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Member of the r.a.s.

Like I said, America. North America to be more precise. F1RS was released much later in N. America than in Europe. Yes, the menu system. But you really don't have to be a real racer to give a fast and good menu system. F1RS with the newest patch simulates real F1 racing quite nicely. An imported Euro version. How would you know? You said there isn't much information about it yet. A fairy told me GP3 will be only slightly improved GP1, by the way. You really missed all those patches Ubisoft has already released for F1RS? They appear to be supporting their game very nicely. What are these critical bugs I should be seeing with the latest patch?

Nope. I got it the same day as the Europpeen realease. It is a "Non-American" release, not an "Non-North America" release that happened around November of 1997. Heck Montreal is mostly where all F1Rs and F1Rs2 was done, you understand that ? I agree, but compare it to GPL and It's very poor (especially the game engine). I will just say that with all the staff they had for F1RS the final result was not what I was expecting compared to other companies with less staff who made better racing simulator. Yes but you have the wrong words... It's the normal version you all have, the Non-USA one, the same as I have. I don't live in the U.S., remember... There isn't a Euro version of F1RS, just a non-US version <g> Can't you just understand that I know more than the typical Mr. Anybody racer ? That I have seen more than about all of you about GPL, Nascar3, F1RS2, etc... but I am not in the possibility to talk about it ? Im just expressing my opinion that F1RS2 is just the first version with little bonus added. Grrrr.... ;-) Try to email UbiSoft about a specific question. You will receive the same email as we all have. Yeah good tech support they have <g>. And yes their playtesters and beta testers are soooooo good and know soooooo all about racing physics that they had to do NINE patches to make it decent to race. Oh btw... it's the last patch you will see about F1RS. So there is still the cartoony graphics with high color contrasts, an absolute crappy replay menu, some AI problems, a game engine that could be tweaked a little more, a better way to re-arrange the menu system, some problems with the damage engine when there is a player vs. AI contact. Oh yeah those are minor things to add <g> - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Member of the r.a.s.
