I haven't read the interview yet Michael, but the few lines you quoted seem to be me to be the death knell of ANY GPL sequels... dave henrie

Yeah, what a bummer! As always, a real quality product has under achieved financially because of the complete and utter philistines that make up the bulk of the market. Hmmm. Gerry "NASCAR sims are easy and very boring. Turning left is hardly a great skill." -- David G Fisher

I heard the death knell for GPL2 five months after GPL was released. David G Fisher "I have a very low I.Q., and women have always found me extremely unattractive." -- Gerry Aitken

David G Fisher wrote: > "I have a very low I.Q., and women have always found me extremely > unattractive." -- David G Fisher David, you mad that up! :) BUT THE BEST IT IS...I will be able to legitimately attribute that quote to you. :) Yours sneeringly GDA PS: A while back someone posted a link to a site which had some pictures of you on it, and you are F***ING ugly, son. Oh yeah, and as think as shite.

Managed to glean some positive info from the much-maligned GameZone interview... ----------- Q: What do you think will initially blow game players away when they launch this program? Rich: "It's hard to say, because we're giving the whole product a real overhaul. Graphics, sound, physics, and AI are all getting a lot of attention. If I had to pick one thing, though, it would have to be our new bumpy track surfaces. For the first time, we've modeled the actual bumps on the racetrack, and it really changes the driving experience for the better. Daytona, for example, is a pretty bumpy place, and going over its tunnel side-by-side with another car can be a real adventure! People are going to love it." --------------- Sounds good here; maybe they'll improve the banking too, so tracks that should truly will have multiple grooves. Plus, now that they've got the product to such a high level but no more Nascar license sucking them down the same old path, PC-based spin-offs (perhaps of the road racing variety!) will not require the massive development efforts that make huge sales numbers a necessity. Whatever form it comes in, my guess is the next product from Papy after NR2003 will not disappoint this crowd. Fingers crossed...

Well it seems pretty clear the next Papy products will be for the console market and I don't think too many people in the "sim" arena use consoles very much.

So Papyrus will turn developement to consoles? -So be it. If they think it's worth abandoning their position their position as leading PC racing sim developer, then that's their mistake. Their current buyers aren't going to follow them to the console market and start the word of mouth/hype needed to get themselves noticed there, IMO. I, like most simmers (I think), don't own a console and see no reason to buy one (heck, I don't even know anyone who owns a "2nd generation" console!). My current PC already outperforms the PS2 by a mile (cfr. GTA3), so I'm not going to buy a console to play the next sim, even if it's by Papyrus as it's likely to be a step down from those currently available for the PC (not to mention the fact I'd have to do some major interior work in order to be able to race on my TV). Papyrus is an unknown in the console market. At best they're known as "that developer that made that stupidly difficult racing game with the old F1 cars". I'm perfectly happy to continue racing GPL / N2k2 (or it's successor) until someone steps up to take posession of the market segment abandoned by Sierra/Papyrus. Best of luck to you guys, so long.... SUCKERS!!! Jan. =---

GPL2 was to be released had Vivendi not restructured their entertainment division (resulting in Sierra cutting the axe heavily at Papyrus, in fact Papyrus now is dead, there is almost NOBODY there working anymore). It's really a ghost town at Papyrus. Yes Kaemmer has left, but several depts. have almost if not nobody anymore. Well they already iirc had no more artist dept (giving the job to those Russian people) but now it's several different branches that are non-existent. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://ymenard.cjb.net/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...
