Nascar Revolution

Nascar Revolution I saw the Oversized Display box in Software Etc. today ( i hate the way they think they gotta make me drool over a game for 2 months before they even put it out on the shelf, I feel Like im being Herded Around like cattle or something)Anyway has anyone got any news on this new hot Nascar sim?

Michael Goldstein wrote It's a "normal" racing arcade game. And it has the Brickyard. Nothing more to say. I wouldn't waste any time on it, if I was you. Nothing really serious, mostly fun arcade bing-bang pedal to metal action. Get Nascar Racing 1999 by Sierra Sports. And next week hop on the NROS Free Zone. yes FREE ! :) P.S.: I seriously feel that the EA Sport racing game engine is OLD and unrealistic. It's about time they upgrade it. Their game engine is more than 3years old. Actually the first Andretti Racing title has the same game engine as NRevolution. <insert Ubisoft comments> hehehehe -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you... "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

WHy? Get N2 or the 50ann. edition. Same game, same graphics...no trucks, less expensive. :) Ooo. Get 2 free tracks of warp filled racing for free. Woohoo. Or pay 13 bucks a month for warp filled racing on most of the WC/BGN tracks (none of the updated tracks though). ;) For someone who is "retiring" from NROS, ymenard, you sure do hock Papyrus and NROS. ;) Yeah, this may definetly be the case. However, the graphics and sound were definite pluses of the demo. However, I'd still like to wait to pass judgement until the game actually comes out and the sim mode can be tried....;) Here's hoping that SportsCarGT doesn't use the same engine. :?

How can you sit and promote Nascar99, then trash Nascar Revolution, claiming its graphics engine is "old"? Nascar99's graphics are *FAR* worse, and haven't been updated for years. I played the Nascar Revolution demo, and LOVE it. And will buy it when it comes out. The only people who don't like it are the total die hard Simulation fanatics. Seems whenever a new game comes out, the Simulation fans start trashing it immediatey. Go race a real car if your that picky about it.

TC wrote Im saying it because it has the NROS software on it. And that even if the game engine is somehow old, at least it's realistic to the limit they could put it (as opposed to the half-dozen EA titles that they published and had no realism in their simulation mode). And If you never raced on the NROS or Hawaii you can't say anything about online racing ;-) What's wrong being a hard-core racing simulator fan ? This is rec.autos.simulators not rec.autos.I.can.race.on.two.wheels.on.the.wall.at.c***te.like.in.days.of. thunder ;-) And who said we aren't racing in real-life ? -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

Chris Schletter wrote Oh is it you, Chris Schletter still paying your 39$ per 3months on the NROS ? Ah so your having fun heh ? ;-) I said NR99 because it's only 29$ in most of the stores, and included more tracks, trucks (with altered physics) and windows enablers + double file restart. And I was always pro-TEN (as I am a NROS Guide) and pro-Papyrus (as they are the leaders in the industry). And as for my retirement from the NROS, it will not be completly, and it's for more reasons than you think (related to some stuff in real-life I don't want to say). SportsCar GT doesn't use a similar engine of course ;-) -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you... "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

I couldn't have said it better. I plan on getting it myself. If you want to do a race via modem let me know. Btw that's the problem they can't drive the real thing so they act it out through the game. I say get a life it's only a game, i'm out ! later, -Rodster

Te reason why we do this is because the arcade racers are made out to be sims in advertising by the companies, plus you arcade junkies bring your games up for discussion in a simulation newsgroup. Oh yeah please by the game for 50 bucks, I stick with a free Nascar 99 edition from sierra and race thousands of people from all over the world thank you very much. All I hope NR does is take you idiot acraders from racing on TEN then we can get some good hardclean racing done. Now get off the internet and go play your Test Drive 5!!!! Reaper

TC, check more closely, and you will notice that ymenard said that the Sierra Sport racing *game* engine is old, as opposed to the *graphics* engine. You are talking about two completely different things. The game engine models physics, the graphics "engine" would handle, err, graphics. Your argument seems to be that graphics appearance (otherwise known as "eye candy" in RAS and elsewhere) is more important than accurate physics. If that is your preference, you may wish to try sitting, with your game pad, in front of a large picture or painting of a race car, which arguably would be better *looking* than any computer sim/game. For added effect, you could have the Rodster come over, and shake said picture/painting vigorously, while shouting "VROOM! VROOOOOM!" for the full arcade experience. To be taken with one (1) grain salt. Brett

I gripe about NROS/TEN/N2 as much as the next person, but there is one thing to be considered. There is _nothing_, anywhere, of any kind, that comes close to doing what they do. That's not an excuse for them. They can, and should be, doing better (especially weekend staffing to take care of server problems). But, there is nothing to replace it right now. -Larry > Or pay 13 bucks a month for warp filled racing on most of the > WC/BGN tracks (none of the updated tracks though). ;) For someone who is > "retiring" from NROS, ymenard, you sure do hock Papyrus and NROS. ;)

I've been wanting to try that... -Larry > One word - WarBirds. > They've been doing multi-player *** with up to 120 planes fying in any > given arena for over two years now. TEN ain't new, and it certainly > ain't the "only one".

One word - WarBirds. They've been doing multi-player *** with up to 120 planes fying in any given arena for over two years now. TEN ain't new, and it certainly ain't the "only one". -- ========================================================= John Simmons - Redneck Techno-Biker (Zerex12) http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html John Simmons - Barbarian Diecast Collector http://members.home.net/jsimm/diecast_index.html IGPS Director [link lost in import] If you want to send me email, go to either of the URL's shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

At a few hundred miles per hour latency matters little when "close" means "less than a mile". At 200mph and six inches distance latency starts to take on rather a new aspect. Cheers! John

A warping airplane. What a concept :) -Larry > At a few hundred miles per hour latency matters little when "close" > means "less than a mile". At 200mph and six inches distance latency > starts to take on rather a new aspect. > Cheers! > John

LOL! -Larry > Must be an offshoot of Jefferson Airplane <g>

OK, so far hate the game with a passion. It would be fun if the title worked. Asked EA Sports tech support for help. Not even a "We got your email" response. Nascar Revolution page still not working right. Has anyone had any success contacting these people? I hate to say it but its starting to look like Bad game, no support, they'll forget about it over time thing.
