Grand Prix 4
Grand Prix 4, commonly known as GP4, was released for the PC on June 21, 2002, and is the last Formula One racing simulator released by the developer Geoff Crammond and the MicroProse label. Based on the 2001 Formula One season, GP4 is a huge graphical and physics upgrade from the previous version, "Grand Prix 3" which had been released in 2000. Modifications from version 3. "Grand Prix 4" featured a heavily revised graphics engine and updated physics including wet weather driving: Although the game could be considered a relatively modest commercial success the chances of a  further entry to the series could be considered slim to none because MicroProse's parent company Infogrames dissolved the developer shortly after the game's release. Also, the Sony Computer Entertainment brand's exclusive licensing deal for Formula One games rules out an update with official stats. An Xbox port of the title had been planned for release in late 2002 before being cancelled in October of that year. Reception. "Grand Prix 4" received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. The game won the award in the Sports category at the British Academy of Film and  Television Arts Awards in 2002. It was also nominated for "Computer Gaming World"s 2002 "Sports Game of the Year" award, which ultimately went to "Madden NFL 2003". The editors called "Grand Prix 4" "one of the better racing games in years past". It was also a runner-up for "GameSpot"s annual "Best Driving Game on PC" award, losing to "Rally Trophy".
