I know Pole Position has come out but in terms of a realistic management simulation, I think we're still waiting for something decent to come out. I hope that game will be GPRM. My only concern is not how long it will take to come out, but more importantly when it does come out, will it be anywhere near relevant to the genre. After all, it doesn't take long and before you know it, everything has changed from tyres to testing restrictions to quali format.....the list goes on. Will GPRM be able to include enough parameters to allow for this?
I understand there will be rule changes implemented in the game on a season to season basis but surely there comes a time when the team must say to themselves we can't keep tweaking else we'll be trapped in a vicious cycle!
I'm a loyal follower, am not ranting and have faith in the team. I'm sure when the game does come out, which it will, no doubts there, it'll blow everything out of the water and make all previous attempts look rather silly.
I was just thinking about this while in the shower. Not that being in the shower is of any significance, I just meant...
F1CM/GPRM has surely not been in constant development for 10 years. The game has probably undergone several near-complete re-writes over that time, and the choice of development framework and even language will almost certainly have changed. The amount of work currently put in to the game is still clear - the latest screenshots blow bargain-basement stuff like GPTM and Pole Position out of the water. If anything, GPRM has been a lesson in how not to manage the public development of a video game.
What I don't understand is why the developers never learn the simple lesson that if you don't keep in touch with your target audience/market, they lose interest in your product/service. The web page hasn't been updated since March, has many dead links on it, and the changelog hasn't been updated since 2007. The Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channel's are somewhat abandoned. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but you're adequately filling the hole left by the West Brother's.
), which can be accessed via the link in my signature, but with less than 24 hours to go I'm curious as to how people think this will go. Will Ferrari be punished further? If so, will it go all the way to disqualification? If not, what implications does that have for the sport going forward?
