Nascar 3 and Nascar 99 info needed

6 posts by 5 people · 24 Nov 1998 - 24 Nov 1998

Hello, What is the difference between these two games? I know Nascar 3 is not out, but I read on another newsgroup that this game will becoming out in the future. Does anyone have any info on this title and how it might compare to the recently released Nascar99? Thanks for any info.

Well, some would consider Nascar 3 to be Nascar 1999 done right :) Nascar 1999 is a stepping stone. An update. Personally, I find the serious limitations of the W95 native .exe to be Nascar 3 will be totally new and based on the GPL engine. My main concern is that, with everything I've read here, Papyrus lasts long enough to finish it... -Larry

n99 is a nice update to n2, added tracks, trucks, 98 season stuff. n3 or n2000 will be based on the physics engine of GPL and will be unbeleivably different, in case you haven't heard it will be wayyy more realistic driving model, better graphics and killer ai. JM

Well the biggest difference is Nascar99 is a EA Sports title.Nascar racing 1999 is a title allready released by Sierra...Nascar3 was a concept name last year.Since they didnt name nascar 1999 nascar2 1/2....I doubt there will ever be a Nascar3. Now...with that aside....Nascar Racing1999 is a jazzed up version of Nascar racing2...with the Craftsman Truck series added...new tracks, and new track config's. Sierra also put in 3dfx support for nascar 1999....along with new graphics at certain tracks. Without the rebate, Nascar 1999 is a total ripoff, as in my opinion, it shoulda just been an expansion pack....but again, thats just MHO. JT

Well, at least they DO offer one of 2 rebates: $20 off for N2 owners, or $purchase price off for anyone with the proper sports title of a competitor (just sent in my MS Golf 1.0 CD today, we'll see how well it works!). I agree that it's really just an update for CURRENT OWNERS OF N2 and the BGN addon. For new owners it's GREAT, though. Don Hancock
Hi guys, Thanks to all who responded to my post, I really appreciate all the information presented. Now I need to decide if I should pick Nascar Racing 99. The trade in rebate offer will be hard to pass up.
