NASCAR Revolution Patch

7 posts by 5 people · 06 May 1999 - 07 May 1999

No word here that I've seen on whether the patch improves the game enough to make it worthwhile. Anyone tried it and care to give a report? (Does anyone still even HAVE NASCAR Revolution?) Jerry Morelock

I hate to be the first one to respond to this post but let me start off by saying that I played about a total of two hours of NASCAR Revolution before the patch. Needless to say, it came off of my hard drive very quick. Then our racing editor, Jeff Downey told me the patch actually makes the game decent so I decided "what the hell" and I reinstalled. To be honest (and I'm not a die-hard simmer) this is a lot better game. It still has it's flaws but A LOT of the previous problems have been alleviated.

Thanks, Tony. I never had the game at all, due in great part to rrevved's report (among others) about how it handled graphics loading ala Grand Prix 2--slowed things down to much less than real time. Have you played Rev. with the patch long enough to know if this issue has been addressed? IMO, if it hasn't, it doesn't much matter what has been done in the way of other fixes, it still won't be playable. Again, thanks. Jerry Morelock.

I'm assuming you mean that there is a lack of the "speed feel" in the game ??? Well, that's still in there I would say but I use the in car/on the road view so the game plays faster with this vantage point. Maybe I'm answering the wrong question here so just let me know. -- Tony Wyss, Editor-in-Chief Gamers Alliance Sports www.ga-sports.com ------------------------------- Network Developer Gamers Alliance, Inc. www.gagames.com ------------------------------- "I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player" - John Kruk
I've never seen the game, but in Finnish PC magazine it got 45% and they were "***" it big time... just one example: "hitting the walls or objects is absolutely redicilous"
