Look at the front grills.  Remember how they gave us the hints of the
Ferrari licensing in GPL by plastering the Monza screenshots with the
Horse... Looks like they did the same here ;-)

Sierra finally wakes up and chipped enough money for the licenses.

I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how
long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

the corwds in the steps look horrible... the ones in Nascar Heat are much
beautiful and has more depth in it. IMHO.

But, i know, the games is not released yet, so i just wait to see if they are
going to improve that.

It's not dificult .... maps crowd texture in lots of vertical plan instead of
big one sticked on the steps.

No offense but if you want to waste your FPS on better looking crowds, then
please go play Heat :)

I do not know about you but when I am going around Daytona at 180mph, I am
not looking at the crowds

Hell, I often times turn the grandstands off to improve FPS,,

oh well to each his own, but I won't pretend to understand it, hahaha

Sure, I can live without great looking crowds, even tho I shouldnt have to
But their reasoning has been that they are using the 3D effort elsewhere
and, by the look of the cars, they havent
The detail on the cars just pure suks compared to Heat

Now before you get your N4 panties in wad, like everyone, I WILL wait until
the release but I'm not holding my breath
If your really being honest with yourself, you have to admit that your
hoping everything Papy has done in the past will not happen in Feb...
And that if Heat had a solid patch for online cautions, N4 wouldnt even be a
discussion at this point

ain't Unreal Tournament, its a ***y racing sim.

If I had to choose I'd rather them spend more time on the AI and
physics then anything else.

Give me GPL physics, the most realistic AI possible and NASCAR 3
graphics  and I'd be happy.  :-)

It would be neat to have an option for dual processor AI, for example,
the AI could  utilized more complex routines if you had dual procs,,

I say max the damn thing out now,, and let us catch up in about 6
months to a year  :-)
