Nascar Revo SE is Great

EA's Nascar Revolution SE came out today and its great. Resolutions now go
to 1024 and run 60 fps. Graphics and cars look awesome, MUCH better than
Sierra's Nascar3 and the frame rates are much higher. This is the game that
should have been initially released. I see why they took the time to do it
right because there is a great game here.
P.S. The Direct 3D mode runs and looks MUCH better than the Glide mode on my
Voodoo3.

I mean no disrespect and I am probably wrong, but this just seems to me
like an EA employee hyping the game. :P

Yeah, the graphics... it's still a turd, since let's remember that NR:SE is
only a repackaged version of NASCAR Revolution with a patch.  If the title
exists on the market it's only to make competition before Christmas to
SIERRA's product.  If you already have NR, no need to buy SE just download
the patch.

It's not even advertised on their site, and if you want to read about it go
laugh in the message boards.

Here are the only things updated compared to the 1year old title :

- Added Interent Play (turned ON by downloading v1.04
    patch available in late October)
- CD Checking (need the CD in to play)
- The default camera view is now the In Car view
- Larger pit stop time variance for Pit Mistakes ON as well
   as OFF
- Adding more detailed text messages i.e. more input to player
   about track status, penalty descriptions, and flag conditions
  (example: "Pace Car Out", "Black Flag for Speeding on Pit Row")
- Removed flag man animation from In Car view and replaced
   with detailed Text Messages
- Added mouse steering control (option available in Controller
   Options)
- Added more dynamic bulb flashing for night tracks (ie. less
  frequency and tied to on track action)
- Changed black flag penalty functionality (i.e. If you get a black
  flag for speeding on pit row or entering the pits when they are
 closed you will be given a black flag penalty after servicing).
- Added a HARD_HIT case to the yellow flag triggering. It should
  create more yellow flag situations during a race.
- Refined the AI driving in the game (more dynamic, more passing,
  and more taking looks)

I bet you it still has the terrible late draw-in.  I love seeing the
track being built just 50 yards in front of my car as a speed along..
