Nascar Heat - Moving POV!

Just checked out the latest Mpeg of Nascar Heat http://www.simz.net/menu/news.htm and there is some excellent footage from the cockpit going around Watkins Glen. Moving POV! Not as extreme as N4, but very close IMO. This may be a pleasant surprise :) --David Cook

Wow, I was *very* impressed with the vid. I was going to skip it and wait for N4, but my compulsive purchasing nature won't be able to resist. Whoever made this mov just sold a copy that may not have been purchased! Loved the roar of the V8 too, reminds me of my ex-1970 classic, and boy, hasn't The Glan changed ;) Cheers, Rod.

Check out this review on Heat too... http://www.nascarnet.com/news.asp?newsid=22 Looks like Heat is everything N3 should of been, and N4 might be, if not more... given the extra modes. I'm very anxious to get my hands on both releases to see how the driving models differ. Dave Rod Prince wrote:

I agree, I was stunned by the Video, excellent trees, excellent track design, excellent textures, excellent sound, subtle POV movement. Combined with this movie and the multiple previews on http://www.nascarnet.com/index.asp I can't decide which I'm more excited for, NH or N4.

I noticed that the lighting in and around the car is dynamic, but the shadows seem to be static. I'm wondering why they would model one without the other... --David Cook In article <NkPb5.46$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote...

Hello etcher. > for a 43 car field with all the detail on you will need > > 600 Mhz > 128 Megs RAM > 16 Meg AGP 3D card > 8X CD-ROM Yes! Every screenshots are indicating just 16 cars in the field, so I really worried about that. Initially, I was thinking to skip NH, but it looks like havving value. Thanks nice info. Y.Minami
