CPR Sucks; Sierra/Papyrus nows your chance for a 3dfx patch for Indycar2

Personally I hate the handling, framerate and the fact it uses DirectX that make me hate Cart Precision Racing. Sierra/Papyrus nows your chance to do a 3dfx port of Indycar 2. Seeing on how your re-releasing the game under a different name (not sure what it is) and competing directly with CPR why not include a 3dfx patch version with it or available over the net. Now would be a good time to do a Glide port for not only 3dfx but also the next generation Rivas and Rendition 2x00 and show that Direct X and Direct 3D is crap. If not you really have no market for your re-release of this game and no plans to do a Indycar 3, at least not before Nascar 3(X-mas 98) and anything afterwards would probably come a year after that.

Exactly how do you propose to run a "Glide" port of ICR2 with an Nvidia Riva or Rendition chipset-based video card?

? What? This kicks ass over Kali! I played several people yesterday and all involved thought it was a blast! You must not have 3DFX or maybe a very slow system. This game rocks! I can't wait to rush out and buy it. When it's setup right and your joystick is the way you want, it's fantastic. The sound is incredible. I agree D3D isn't the best API out, but it flies on my K6 225. I'm very impressed and can't drive it enough. It has an incredible sense of speed when you hit Cntrl D to turn off the dash and have the road screamin buy under your face. Can't wait for full version. Hawker

From what I've heard, there will be GL drivers for the NVIDIA Riva 128, but I don't know about the Rendition. As for the old Renditions, there's no way, but who knows for the next generation Renditions.. Ben -={ To get my real email address, remove the NOSPAM }=- SPAMMERS!!! Read this!!! No spam for me!
