Meanwhile, my friend was a lap behind, he decided to pull a 180° and head straight into the pack (he's like that). He came in 10th.

"he's like that"

LMFAO!!!!

I was expecting a new and improved game, for the XB1/PS4 to be their first offering. From a business point of view, I can understand this decision though. I just know that I won't be picking this up. Partially because of the mess N14 was, and partly because my xb360 has basically been retired from gaming now. It'll take some really strong positive reviews here to make me change my mind. I like that theyre going to use the foundation Eutechnyx laid, but quite frankly that makes me very nervous at the same time.

I can't see this being much different than the NASCAR 14 or Inside Line -- just seems like those games with a few minor updates here and there. I wouldn't expect much change from a gameplay standpoint, especially at the price point. Nevertheless, at this price point, I might consider it. And don't be surprised to see it even lower few months after release.

I can't believe I'm saying it but my favorite NASCAR game of late, on the 360 was NASCAR 09. No offline wasn't so great, but damage model was good, online stability was good. Loved the paint booth they had. Actually just played it again yesterday.

09 was fairly decent. I picked it up in probably 2012 or 13 since I just had an itch to race with the (formerly) Craftsman Trucks that the ETX games couldn't scratch.
The paint booth was boss. I think that I remember it being compatible with Adobe, etc and for sure that it was online. Of course that's all history now, but it was an awesome feature.

It really sucks they won't have a PS4 version! But then again maybe that's not a bad thing,considering that the recent NASCAR games have been so bad! I'm assuming there is going to be a NASCAR game in the future for the PS4 and Xbox one. Hopefully the new developer will finally make a good game like the old EA sports days or papyrus days!

The Papyrus games we're good I have to say,the EA sports games we're decent to,but I have to say Eutechnyx kinda turned me off from the NASCAR video games,because of how terrible they we're. I was hoping maybe Sony Polyphony could get the rights and develop a NASCAR game! Grandteurismo has always been a awesome racing simulator! When they had NASCAR in the games the graphics were awesome and Daytona raceway looked beautiful and the cars looked beautiful!

If I haven't already mentioned...I too loved the Papyrus games. They hooked me with the 1999 edition (not "3" but the title "1999 edition") way back then and of course I came back for 4 in 2001. I hate to admit it, but I never did get 2002 or 2003, long story short. I hear they improved on 4 a lot and that game was awesome to me so...

A Papyrus title that gets overlooked IMO was NASCAR Legends. It used NASCAR Racing 3's engine but things were tweaked to represent the aero wars of 1970. I was able to play a demo and I kick myself 16 years later for not buying that title since it's an expensive needle in a haystack now (although eBay and Amazon can help find said needle) ah, I can still remember seeing it on an end cap at Target back in 1999. Yeah, anyway...

Have they improved the replay system? My 6 yr old loves the game but wishes he could jump to various cars to see crashes, passes, etc like NR2003 and not stay locked on his car only
