Quiet day before NASCAR Heat's release

A poster noted the lack of NASCAR Heat posts on the eve of its release and asked whether the missing save-game feature had put people off. Some said it had moved the game to their 'maybe' list, while most said they would still buy it and asked for the save-game argument to end. Retailers were reported to expect stock on 23 August.

Considering tomorrow is the release date. Has the lack of a game save put people off?

Please give us a break with the save game. I'm guessing that every single one of us here(including you) will be running to the store on tues. I don't mean to be rude, but we've all heard all of the arguments about the save game about enough I think. The horse is dead.

Is a save game feature really that important to you? Not arguing here, just very surprised that so many people here find a save game feature so important.. Andre

So I guess you don't play GPL then because it doesn't have a save game feature either right? P.S. - Yes, the lack of a save game feature is lame but it certainly doesn't prevent me from buying a racing sim. To each his own I guess...

Naw, not here anyway.

Makes absolutely no difference to me, either way. Maybe other games need a save feature of some sort, but racing games need them the least of all. Alanb

I'd agree it's pretty disappointing too. Not so sure it's a showstopper though. And the reason they make a loud fuss about it is valid. They want to let the developers know *why* it didn't sell in their case. -- Chuck Kandler Windows--computing for the Unwashed Masses Registered Linux User #180746 http://counter.li.org
