New NASCAR 4 screenshots
Posters admired new NASCAR 4 screenshots but noticed that the tar-sealed cracks at Talladega repeated in an obvious pattern. Others said this would be less visible in motion, joked about 'canned cracks', and discussed overclocking Celerons to run the game.

1) Let's see some crashes already.
2) Those tarred cracks at Talladega look pretty bad.
3) Time to save up for a 1ghz processor.

If you look closely, you'll notice the cracks at Tally are canned in that
the same "crack" design is repeated over and over down the track. Look
closely and you'll see it. The 3 different lanes have a unique crack design,
but that design is repeated down the track. Would be nice to see more
realistic random cracks, because in it's current form it does look pretty bad.

I'd be willing to bet there will be a hot key to turn off the cracks for
those who find them not up to snuff. Which is to say the cracks aren't all
they are cracked up to be.

that sounds like something that i might be very interested in.... even my
budget can handle that... i was thinking about just taking my chances, but
$30 for guaranteed o/c sounds pretty reasonable...
and i'm lucky enough to have A/C in here- so it never hits 90 :)
any leads on GeForce2 cards :) ?
please send me the contact info.... my email address is just the reply-to
(yeah, i know i should spam-block....)
thanks,

First we have to deal with "canned spins" in our sims. Now we have to deal
with "canned cracks". I'm certainly not buying it...

I suspect that it's something quite obvious in a still like that, but
in a moving shot will be less noticable and from low down in-car will
be indiscernable. That's my thought at least, but is one we'll need to
trust the testers on to feedback what works and what doesn't.

Correct.
Look at the grass textures in GPL from a replay TV camera view, compared to
sitting in the car. They look boring and repetitive from a replay view, but
get the job done in car.

If those cracks don't "MOVE" when I drive over them, I'm taking it back!

I never said I wouldn't buy N4 or would take it back if the canned cracks
at Dega weren't fixed. All I did was point out a flaw shown in a pre-release
snapshot and indicate that it would be nice if the cracks were more realistic.
It would also be nice if I was handed 10 million dollars, but that doesn't
mean if it doesn't happen soon I'm going to give up on life or something.
All it means is that I would be a bit happier with life, should it actually
happen.
I only made an observation and stated my wish for an enhancement. You people
are just plain mean! ;-P
