This is a small story from April`s issue of PC Zone.
Although nothing has been officially confirmed by Microprose, it`s
believed that the sequel to the massive Formula One Grand Prix is on
the way and due for release early next year. Rumour has it that GP3
will feature a network option and possibly a new licence that will
bring it bang up to date with last years F1 season. There`s also the
possibility that Crammond will be adapting the code and models to
accomodate some of the new regulation`s, recently introduced by the
FIA as well as updating the tracks, teams and cars.
Fans of F1GP2 will be well aware how processor-intensive the game
is, and is thought that as well as introducing a multi-player option to
compete with the forthcoming F1 titles from Psygnosis, EIDOS and
Papyrus`s Indycar 2, Crammond will be refining the existing code to
take advantage of the graphical wizardly now offerd by
DirectX,MMX and a number of dedicated 3D accelerator cards such
as PowerVR and 3DFX.
