Question for those rejected by First-Racing , as was I.
I think I was rejected for saying that I prefer oval racing to road
racing on the initial beta test survey. Would the others who have been rejected and those who dare if you have been accepted (I liked the golden ticket analogy...just having watched Willie Wonka with my son..it was very funny.) please post what you answered. I think if you answered oval you didn't get in. Which would suggest that the game is going to be a road race game. I think that is not too much of a surprise. The next question would be, what sort of road racing game. If they are going for a license, and what we have heard about them wanting to do a "car" sim are true, then perhaps we will see a Speed World Challenge type of sim. Basically stock cars of various sorts on road course. Of course this is wild speculation, but I think it would be cool. Brit btgoss http://www.thecancerdiet.com |

And I've got the experience. But it might be 'cause I'm crazy, eh. -- -- François Ménard <ymenard> -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World... |

Calm Down?
Please, this is the best thing to happen to sim racing rumour mongering since the WEst Brothers. What else is there to do except wildly speculate about what the sim will be, and what color wheels the cars will have...if they even are cars. Perhaps it will be a hover boat sim..... or a snowmobiles on land sim... who knows... Brit btgoss http://www.thecancerdiet.com |

They're probably looking for sales, which, unfortunately, means finding out how to appeal to the non-hardcore-sim crowd as well. ISI has been doing pretty well on the sim aspect, but after the commercial flop that F1C seems to have been (I have to assume it was one, since you can't even find it in stores anymore), so they're probably trying to figure out how they can match the sames of games like Gran Turismo. |
