Papy's Future?

Has Papyrus made any mention about what lies ahead for them? With the start of a new CART season, I'd really like to see someone pick up the torch and release an open wheel sim.

>"AndrewS" <[email hidden]> wrote > Has Papyrus made any mention about what lies ahead for them? Yes. Officially they announced during an interview that the next main project would be an open-wheel racing sim with heavy multiplayer elements.

In all seriousness, Frank, I thought their open-wheel "announcement" consisted of a chuckle and an admission that they would like to do something like that. I do know this much: CART is definitely out as far as Papy is concerned. Midway holds the CART license though 2003, and that's that. Maybe F1? More likely NASCAR, NASCAR, and more NASCAR, followed by some NASCAR expansion packs, and then more NASCAR. :-( -- JB On Sun, 11 Mar 2001 23:36:59 GMT, "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I saw in an interview that at one point, they modified GPL to try it in a high downforce configuration, and they said that the result was "very exciting". Thats all that they'd say about it however.

No IRL projects from Papy, either -- Infogrames is currently sitting on the IRL and Indy 500 license (and not doing a damned thing with it), which means that even though Papy has access to the Brickyard 400 license, there's no way they could do the Indy 500 at this point in time. :-( -- JB On Mon, 12 Mar 2001 04:51:03 GMT, "Russell D.

Hey, Dan -- how does an IRL version of NASCAR Heat sound to you? The IRL Heat project is well underway, and we will be bringing you IRL car shapes, paint jobs, and new Indy-style physics for NASCAR Heat. The cars aren't available yet because the physics aren't finalized, and that won't happen until MGI releases the upcoming NASCAR Heat patch, but that should be coming out soon (hopefully!). Here's a preview of what we've got happening on the IRL Heat project: http://www.simracing.org/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000179.html http://www.simracing.org/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000179-2.html The BHMS site has offered to host a page for the IRL Heat project, so once they get me set up, we'll have a dedicated place on the Web. In the meantime, enjoy the screen shots! -- JB F1CS2K Rank Handicap 57.790 http://f1cs2krank.dhs.org/ On 12 Mar 2001 19:03:17 GMT, [email hidden] (Dan Belcher) wrote:

I want open-wheels to race on road courses, not ovals. IRL would sell even worse then GPL. There is tons of other series (even fictional) that Papyrus could create which would 1) be a better sim and 2) sell more copies. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

well, all the news we are hearing from papyrus is pointing towards F1, CART is a midway property, IRL is just too small nationaly and internationally, F1 is high downforce and what David Kaemmer would probably like to get into following his Barber Dodge years :) pez John Bodin <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Use cars from the 60s-70s. Have a handful of tracks. But have its bread and butter as Online play. If you don't believe me how fun it would be, try a dead start at the Firestone side beside the parabolica. Race to the finish line on VROC. I think a drag racing sim based on the GPL engine would be fabulous. I think it would have to be based in the 60s or 70s. Just think the Hemi, Fastback and all the great muscle cars.
