EA's nascar road racing: Hmmm

5 posts by 5 people · 19 May 1999 - 23 May 1999

If you take a look at the screenshots for EA's new NASCAR game that takes place on road courses, it looks alot like an updated "Andretti Racing", doesn't it? -- [link lost in import] Remove "spam jammer" to reply Graffiti seen above a urinal in East Grand Forks, MN: "Please don't eat the big white mints!"

Yes I said those comments on r.a.s. a couple of days before. They are reusing the Andretti Racing game engine. It could be a nice arcade game, but nothing really good. Just a way by EA to slap another Nascar title on the shelves. I mean it wouldn't had been produced if it wasn't for a Nascar license. -- -- 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...

Im not sure if its the same engine or not, has simularities tho. The cars image looks simular to Nascar Revolution modeling, but the tracks look like a new engine to me.. It looks good in the picture tho, I just wonder how it will play???? PassedYa

It looks to me like they stole some if not all the road courses from Andretti Racing for this game. I believe that the hairpin screenshot is from the Vallejo track from Andretti Racing and the rest look strangely familiar. BTW, Has anyone else noticed on Andretti Racing, that some of the tracks are ripoffs of Formula 1 tracks? Phalanx is a redone Silverstone, etc. Hell, if you have the Sega Saturn version, if you pop the CD in your PC and explore it, some tracks in the tracks folder are named for F1 tracks!

Makes you wonder how they can come out with ***like this and and stay in business while Papyrus almost goes bankrupt with a great simulator like GPL?? Go figure... IFLY4DELTA
