Spirit of Speed 1937 Expected To Gold Master This Friday

Spirit of Speed 1937 Expected To Gold Master This Friday David Rowe, Joint Managing Director at Broadsword Interactive, mentioned to us earlier today, that their upcoming 3D racing game, Spirit of Speed 1937, is expected to Gold Master this Friday. Check out the first look article we published a while ago for information and screenshots. This game, to be published by Microprose, received our "Gamer's Alliance ECTS 1999 Awards - Best Racing Game", and is incredibly promising. - *** News [link lost in import]

How on earth can you make an "award" well before the retail version of the thing is released???!! You are risking whatever credibility you have by doing something like that!

Possibly because it's an ECTS award for games at a trade show which haven't been released yet. I assume that only unreleased games would be eligible for such an award. :> This :> game, to be published by Microprose, received our "Gamer's Alliance ECTS :> 1999 Awards - Best Racing Game", and is incredibly promising. - *** :> News -- Richard G.

Yeah, pretty weird. 1) It hasn't gone gold yet. 2) 1999 isn't over yet. But it's the best racing game of 99'. It's like albums that are released with a sticker on the front saying "Includes the hit 'whatever'". how did they know it was going to be hit when they decided to print the stickers before the album had even been released? glen

Because the single was released before the album?? l8er ronny -- "I heard if you play the NT-4.0-CD backwards, you get a satanic message." "That's nothing, if you play it forward, it installs NT-4.0"

Yep....or videos with "Recommended Viewing" on them! Recommended by whom.....the local dentist? Mrs. McGillicuddy down the road? :o) > >How on earth can you make an "award" well before the retail version of the > >thing is released???!!

What do you mean no credibility? We've got loads of credibility. What's more, we're going to scream and whine until everyone recognises it! ;-) Cheers, Richard

I always thought that "Going Gold" with a NEW GAME meant the game was finalized and has been released to the public for sale........

No...it means that the "master" has been cut and will now be replicated on a full-scale basis. -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
