Nascar Revolution SE

When Nascar Revolution came out, I tried it for about an hour, and found it the most worst race sim I ever played. Especially the slomo problem was terrible. I didn't have high hopes when I read that Nascar Revolution SE would come out. But yesterday I tried it.... and... I like it! I'm not a big Nascar fan, and I'm not enough into this sport to be able to judge a nascar sim properly, but simply put: Nascar Rev SE gave me more thrills than Nascar 3. Some simple reasons: The force feedback of NRSE is quite good, you constantly feel the tremble of the motor, and the sound is superb with my SBLive card. When driving close to a wall the sound changes superbly. And the screaming tyre sounds are the best I've ever heard in a computer sim. First I drove on the standard arcade mode, which was very good fun. When I changed the settings to 'realistic', I couldn't keep the car on the track. I can't imagine that driving a real Nascar car would be SO difficult, so I don't think that this realistic mode is very good. But as I said, I don't know much about Nascar, so i can't judge this properly. All I'm saying is that NRSE is completely different than the original NR indeed, as some other persons allready said. I think it deserves a new chance, and I'm very curious what you Nascar fans think about it. Andre

Be serious dude, Nascar Revolution SE is a piece of shit. From the horrendous late draw-in to the horrible engine sounds, this arcade game is a complete joke.

Ok, that's one opinion :) To be honest, I didn't notice any draw-in at all, I have to play it again to see if there is any draw-in. The engine sounds are not that bad imho. The tire sounds are wonderfull when spinning the car, especially when surrounded by other cars and the wall, with my Sblive card it really sounds superb. I was wondering what people will think of the gameplay of SE, I can't judge that properly because of my lack of Nascar knowledge. But the sounds and visuals are imho superb, much better than Nascar 3. Andre On Tue, 19 Oct 1999 12:24:30 GMT, [email hidden] (MaX) wrote: >Be serious dude, Nascar Revolution SE is a piece of shit.

Or when going down pit road. I wouldn't mind a little SPEED help, but taking the car over entirely?! I'm gonna try to get it used (wouldn't pay more than $15 for it) just so I'll KNOW, but N3 is SO good... [IMO] I liked the bouncing chassis, now that I have a FF wheel I'm looking forward to that... I'd like to see the change of day to night... I gotta wonder about how well rules are duplicated: double-file restarts? Passing on the outside when the green flag falls? Yellow flag length? Gunner

Play Talladega, look ahead and you'll see this draw-in. When I don't notice any draw-in, and I have to look for it to notice it, it can't be that bad right? >>The engine sounds are not that bad imho. >You're high.

I with you Andre. It's fun to get out there and just race. Althought this newsgroup has the word "simulator" in it, which NRSE is not IMHO, sometimes we need to remember that these are just computer games and games should be fun and not so serious. Sal V.

I loaded Nascar Revolution LE on my 366 128mb TNT2 and it locks up right after it says something about getting the keys. Same for the Obsidian Voodoo2 card. Have to reset to get out. Any ideas? Thanks dkmedic

tried nascar rev 103, wow, like it much better than n3, p2 300 tnt, full graphics max cars racing, not even a stutter out of the game, too much fun. oh yeah i was down loading files with my ftp at the same time i was playing. this game is a lot easier on the computer with the new patch.

If the game was good, I'd play it regardless if it was simulation or an arcade game. But with as good as other EA Sports titles are, this game shows little effort by the programmers. >I with you Andre. It's fun to get out there and just race.

When I don't notice any draw-in, and I have to look for it to notice it, it can't be that bad right? Ofcourse, I'm Dutch. Comments like these say more about your intelligence than about mine. Andre

Kind of like the "Quake" of Racing? Quake's a BLAST for stress relief. I liked the demo, but the reviews here kept me away from the full game - even when Future Shop had it for $17. Gunner

Where can I get the Nascar Rev 103 upgrade... I only see the 102 on the EA website. thanks.

found it at an ftp site, not there any more 1.04 should be out any day at easports , it will be for internet multiplayer. check their bulletin board for info

Thats cause the guy who complained about it is one of those "sim fanatics" and if the GAME isn't sim enough for him, then everything about it is trash. And I agree with you, the sounds are not bad at all like he says. I myself like Nascar 3 AND I like Nascar Revolution. Any true racing fan would like both types of games.
