Ok, I see Papy do Nascar no more. Is Papy itself also no more? If not, what's on the horizon for them?

Friend of mine was just at Papyrus. Many programmers, very busy, but no clue what they were working on. Theory is something for consoles, as that's where the money is :-( "Byron Forbes" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3f75da0e$[email hidden]... > Ok, I see Papy do Nascar no more.

They have said they are going to do cross-platform games, so whatever it is should be available for both consoles and PC. Personally I am glad that both the NASCAR and IRL licenses are tied up elsewhere, because that means Papy will have to do something more interesting now.

I hear they are doing something like a combination of Grand Theft Auto and Halo. Gran Theft Halo or something... FPS/Driving sim...with a hip hop soundtrack.... you know more shizzle fo yo nizzle!!!! Seriously tho, it is a good bet it is an arcade racer for the game boxes, which had better sell well or Papy will be gone.
