MGPR2 US Release

Does anyone know what date this game will be released. I haven't heard anything lately about this game and the ubisoft site has nothing at all about a release date.

I bought a copy at my local EB a while back for $20, so it IS around. Still haven't decided if it was worth it, though. Heck, that's three six-packs of decent beer! Tough call. Oh well, back to GPL. Steve B. remove "edy" from address for email

MGPRS2 is a lot more difficult than GPL! Try getting pole position in MGPRS2. GPL and MGPRS2 are both superb sims but do different things. Let's try and move this group on from being a 'GPL rocks and everything else sucks' bore! Iain >I bought a copy at my local EB a while back for $20, so it IS around.

It must be soon, because there's an ad for it in the new issue of "Maxim". BTW, the name is just "Monaco Grand Prix". -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove "spam-jammer" to reply Galley Stuff You Gotta Have! "We do the scroungin', so you can do the loungin'!"

I think Monaco is a much better game (and they both are games) than GPL, but I think GPL is a little harder than Monaco. Actually I think GPL is much harder than Monaco.

I agree with you completely. A top time in MGPRS2 is incredibly difficult. David G Fisher

I would just start off saying that this is my opinion. GPL is an awesome game, but I prefer Monaco, because I like the way modern F1 cars handle (I know the GPL is a sim, and thats the way the cars really handled back then, but I prefer a little bit of stability in my games), I prefer the graphics in Monaco (the graphics in GPL are good also, I just prefer Monaco's). I also like using the easy mode in Monaco (I'm not into tweeking cars to get faster). Plus Monaco has 17 tracks, and 11 cars. Also, Monaco works with my current hardware setup, GPL does not. I understand all the talk of GPL, it's truly an awesome game, It's just not my kind of game.

Hi Jalo, <Major snip> Fair enough. Remco

Hi Fran?ois, <Snip> <Snip> <Tease mode on> I wonder when N3 comes out you're still as fast as you are at NROS. I've seen your efforts in GPL. <G> <Tease mode off> Remco

Remco Moedt wrote Hehehe good shot. Im a traditional non-open wheel driver. Not oval but traditional stock-car road course racer. I know from real-life and virtual experience. As a Touring car driver it was much easier to find myself more in my reality with a stock-car such as on the NROS than with a diabolic car like a 67 F1 ;-) Still, I found my place now with the Honda. I did a 1:22:67 lap in practice at Kyalami. Don't tell me that's slow with a Honda! I probably will never master correctly the GPL cars, but at least Im having a blast trying to get those sub-1:30 laps at Zandy with the Honda. But shoot me a Stock-car at the Ring and I can put you a sub-8minute lap ;-) As for my hate of Ubisoft... It's something very deep that goes more than just because of the software they publish. And no it's nothing related to a job as some people speculated ;) -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

Nope, that's fast. BTW, I did a 1:21:3 with the BRM :-P Hehe. Maybe, when N3 comes out, someone creates a track converter like ICR2<->N2. Then we can check your claim. I'll print this out, and hang it on the wall. When the time is there, I'll challenge you! Ok, but this isn't an issue for the original poster. Personally, I do have F1RS and MGP2RS, but I don't play them. It just doesn't feel right compared with GPL. For a modern F1 sim I still prefer GP2. Remco
