You know that EPR didn't sell that good.
You know it happened that way mainly because of your own mistakes.
You also know that EPR was either one of the best sim racing games ever to be released on the PS2, or indeed the BEST.
You know you have a solid fan base to this game, and you know many people have been waiting for a new next-gen Enthusia, with online play.
Now, consider this:
What do sim racing games fans have available now for the PS3?
GT5P - A "prologue" game, very good but very small.
Ferrari Challenge - A very good game, but not a "car-industry" compreensive one. Besides, it seems their producer/devellopers have almost abandoned it.
F1CE - Already old news, people that bought it are now re-re-re-playing it. Besides, it's a F1 game, not a competitor to any new Enthusia.
And nothing else. GRID is no sim, Codemasters went the wrong (arcadey) way with it and there's no prospect they'll reverse their path now.
So ... there are millions of PS3 players in this world eager for a new game. Most don't even expect you guys to release a new Enthusia, many didn't even play the PS2 one, but the truth is that the ones that aren't hardcore GT fans (the kind that feels that buying/playing any other racing game is treason ) will dive at the oportunity of playing something else than GT5P, at least until GT5 is released.
That isn't probable to happen before Christmas 2009.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???? You have the resources, you have the know how, this is the right time. Work on it and release it a few months before GT5, you won't be sorry.
Regards,
