Nascar Racing: The Final Edition article/screenies

Bhmotorsports posted a nice little article about NR:TFE that was in PC Gamer: http://www.bhmotorsports.com/NR2003/screenshot/2449 Favorite quote: "Papyrus is hoping that the third-party mod community will continue to nurture this final NASCAR chapter with the same degree of enthusiasm it gave Grand Prix Legends (which is still going strong after four years)" Jason

Those screen shots are, other than a little bit of dithering that is probably due to their being jpegs, almost photorealistic. Before reading that article I was thinking of sitting this one out, but now I don't know, looks like they might get my money again. As long as they promise that it's really the last one this time.... ;o) "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Since it is the last of the serious and possibly the best, why would you sit it out? I'll buy it the day it's released and with luck it will support mods and updates like GPL so that it will be the only NASCAR sim we need for years to come. Think of it as the Thunder killer ;) "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aqhhe8$9vbk8$[email hidden]...

Well yes :) The name Papy gave this too is a nice touch "The Final Edition" I imagine EA hates that, everyone thinking that this is the last NASCAR title to be made which for all intensive purposes it is based on NT2003.

I dunno. Other than that cheap looking sun flare, it looks almost exactly like N2002 does on my system. Which isn't a bad thing by any means. I hope that the in-car solar flare effects are more realistically blinding and not some cheap looking lens flare. Jason

Agreed. Lens flares are a joke. John

Take a look at the pit row shot. That looks a whole lot more realistic. "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
