Nascar2 - unimpressed!

Just downloaded the demo - no thanks, Sierra. Different package, same contents as far as I'm concerned.

> Just downloaded the demo - no thanks, Sierra. Different package, same > contents as far as I'm concerned. Well I never bought the origional NASCAR. But I did try NASCAR2. I like it. On my P5-133 with 32MB ram the SVGA framerate was very very smooth. I always heard that NASCAR was very poor SVGA framerate wise. I was very impressed with this. PLus I liked the in-car radio chatter. I am pretty sure I'll be getting this one when it is released. And I am an openwheel guy :-) BTW, I had the DEMO graphics maxed out.

shooting through ***space: Not that this will convince you or anyone else to buy the simulator, but keep in mind the demo of NASCAR 2 is one of the VERY early beta versions of the final product. It was the same way with the NASCAR 1 demo; a lot of planned features were not plugged in at the time the demo was released. -- SimRacing Online Webmaster http://www.simracing.com/ Hawaii: IWCCCARS

Well, consider yourself in the minority.

obviously your not a true Nascar fan or you would be impressed with it!

The demo showed only the change in physics from NASCAR 1 vs. NASCAR2 and used the same graphics. The graphics and feel of NASCAR 2 is not the same as the demo NASCAR 2 is 100% diferent than the original. I must give credit where credit is do. THIS GAME IS AWSOME, Thanks Sierra!!!!! However if your so narrow minded and set on bashing a game you have not yet tried in its final release....... Then have fun with Monster Truck Madness or what ever it is that rings your bell . p.s. .........I will bet the farm that you purchase this game ( If you havent allready) after reading all the posts here on the newsgroup describing its improvements.

First I want to make this CLEAR that I do indeed like NASCAR2. However, IMHO Sierra _probably_ didn't have squat to do with N2. I'd say 99% of it was Papyrus. That's why its good. <G> Have to wait till NASCAR 3 to see how bad Sierra will***it up. I also can't see how it is 100% different. (Even some of the people with the Rendition cards, in the video news groups aren't claiming that!) Spotters were added, slightly better graphics. (for those of us WIHTOUT a Rendition card) and some very slight physics model changes and track updates. (that should have been added in the first version IMO) Still no improvement to the damage model, no random pit stalls, the AI seems to be a bit more aggressive but still does the same stupid stunts. (i.e. follows the "line" whether you are there or not, and will run into you if you are there) And what about double file restarts? Wasn't that supposed to be included as well? I know there was talk about it, but wasn't certain if it they were supposed to be added.
