(besides GTR 2002?) what do you think will be the next sim that�s really worth waiting for?

Well overall I'd say it looks pretty bleak myself, but if I had to pick 1) NR2003 - I don't think it will be much better than NR2002 just more fluff. However its the last of the line which means it could have a very long life like GPL 2) LFS- Even though I'm not that impressed with it myself. 3) Racing Legends- If it ever happens. For me the biggest thing to wait on will be hard ware upgrades. I think once I max out my current motherboard I'll have a hard time justifying any major spending. MadDAWG

Race Driver *might* come good, and (outsider's bet) Codemasters' take on 'IRL'.

> what do you think will be the next sim that�s really worth waiting for? In terms of a significant step forward like GPL in 98, I would say the only likely contender is Racing Legends. Sure it has to live up to its promise as a hardcore racing sim, and plenty here doubt if the project will succeed, but in terms of who is going to produce the next "big one" I see little other prospect.

I thought somebody here said that EA was done with F1. dave henrie > Dunno of anything worthwhile coming out. I'll possibly get NT2003 > despite every reason not to. > > Jason

Slightly embarrassed to admit amongst all you hardcores, but I'm looking forward to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 in Mid-Oct. -Tim "Jeffrey3456" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:amnf9k$7dros$[email hidden]... > (besides GTR 2002?) > what do you think will be the next sim that�s really worth waiting for? > >

For me its NR2003. The final in a long great run by Papy. Until someone can outdo their realism and networking code it will be hard to beat. Looking forward to any new racing sims that can offer good online league play, maybe the new IRL will give us just that.

Somebody said that they were done with F1 because they were going to focus on NASCAR Thunder. Personally, I think the use of the F12k2 engine in NT should indicate that EA is quite happy with the F1 series and will continue it. I think the person who said they were finished with F1 assumed that ISI developed NT, when in fact they just supplied the base engine to Tiburion. Jason

I have read an unverified statement about the demise of the EA F1 series in an article that was mainly about the closing of Microprose UK. (Sorry -- didn't bookmark it.) It would be really interesting to know what EA's licensing deal is. Here's a likely scenario: The deal ran for three years, and when it was time for renewal, someone (with the initials B.E.) got a bit greedy... :)

So close to release though, and I have not seen one screenshot from the cockpit for NFSHP2. It could be great fun if they use the NFSPU physics. - Dave

Good. The great thing about the NFS series is the breathtaking graphics. NFSPU still easily holds it's own against today's driving sims so NFSHS2 should set a new standard for graphics that all others sims will be measured against. -Tim
