Same here! Things do sound better now.
Things I liked about the article:
- overhaul of the N2 engine
- better graphics
-- non cartoon smoke! (that moved in the wind)
- better sound
- 4 wide AI! (please be better at Talladega! everywhere else for that
matter)
- Seperate (and redone) crew cheif/spotter (cool!)
- 43 cars, cool!
Other things that would make this NASCAR fan happy! :)
- Realistic qualifying/provisional system, make qualifying really count!
(not the automatic "provisional" currently in NR1999, it could be
toggeled of course) I think it would be cool if the real pressure that
NASCAR teams/drivers go through to qualify could be simulated.
- Having more than 43 cars trying to qualify. (you see it every week
these days!)
- Pit stalls determined by qualifying order
- If you can't tell I think the qualifying procedure should be revamped!
- A career mode
Later,
John
So I was right (so far), in thinking that they were just not able to get
GPL-based N3 running at playable speeds for the majority of current
hardware, so are doing the enhanced N99 engine for our benefit, to have a
good, playable, better looking, better driving and smooth NASCAR game this
year.
Nice to see it was the playability issues that caused them to do this as I
suspected, rather than suits at Sierra screwing 'em over. While Sierra
might try to rush this out for a buck, I think they also may be smart enough
to let Papy do their thing, since the NASCAR series has to be a huge golden
goose for them, and some suit may be smart enough to know not to kill it
(amazing as that is).
1024x768 on my V3 should be pretty sweet, and it'll make me REAL glad I got
my SB Live for 4-speakers (while N2K doesn't do EAX it does do Directsound
3D so I should be OK )

From the article:
Hmmph! Sounds like an insult to the serious gamer to me. Like we're
supposed to be ***SO*** e***d about FF and 3D sound at the expense
of a realistic simulation. No thanks, Papy. You can be certain that
N2K and NL will *not* be on my purchase list.

Very well put! Looks like GPL will be the only sim on my hard drive for a
long time to come ...

Yeah I have heard all the arguments about how people get disoriented using
them but it is just another skill to be learned, much the same as learning
to drive using manual gears of taking all the helps off one by one. Once the
habbit is formed, it becomes second nature and there really should be no
excuse to drive into the side of cars. I'm not gaving a go at you personally
Byron, just expressing an opinion :-)

I'm using my "left right look" more and more often. I haven't used it
enough yet to determine if there is a blind spot or not. So, If you're in such
a position again, it might help others if you were to save the replay. and take
a snap shot of just before you move over. That way we could get a good idea of
where that blind spot might be.
Just a though.
