NASCAR 09 Demo May 29

Re: NASCAR 09 Demo May 29

Keep in mind most racing games have 10, 15, 20 cars to render, plus a road course or something that you can only see portions of most of the time. NASCAR games have to render 43 cars, plus pace car, etc. It's a "Gears of War vs GTA" type of argument. It has to render a bunch more for a NASCAR field, so you will take minor hits in the graphics department per car. It still looks worlds better than past years did, though.

Fair enough.

Re: NASCAR 09 Demo May 29

this is the most realistic Nascar game that I have ever played. Why do I say that? Kyle Busch just spun me out with 6 laps to go in Charlotte and I was running 4th at the time and was faster than the leaders.

Well....I'm sure you *thought* Kyle Busch spun you out, but the truth is, if you look at the replay you actually moved down into him and spun yourself out. But being the big NASCAR star that you are with a silver spoon in your mouth, you'll get away with blaming him for your own careless driving and your fans will of course buy into that hook, line, and sinker.

No honestly, he spun me out. I checked the replays. I was running underneath him going into one and two and pull ahead of him going down the backstretch. Then in the middle of turns 3 and 4 he was underneath me trying for the pass when all the sudden he came up, hit my left rear corner panel and around I went.

Re: NASCAR 09 Demo May 29

Kyle Busch spun me out a few days ago too.

Here is what I put in the official "I Hate Kyle Busch Thread":

I was playing the NASCAR 09 demo tonight running at Lowe's Motor Speedway and I was racing Kyle Busch for 1st place. I started on the pole while he started second and we were a few laps into the race. I was on the outside while he was on the inside and we had a good battle going. Since I was running the outer groove purposely (I feel more comfortable being in the
middle groove of the racetrack), he was able to pull up beside of me on the curves, but I was able to use forward byte off the corners and into the straights and cruise away only to be caught again in the turns. Anyways, as I came off turn 4, Kyle Busch acts like I am not there and clips my right rear quarter-panel sending me spinning into the grass in the infield. Luckily, I was not damaged.

What is funny is that I was not even mad after being spun out because I just realized NASCAR 09 was realistic in the fact that Kyle Busch is really good and he likes to wreck people!

LOL!

Did you go after him during the caution laps? I probably would have wrecked him.

Yeah, the game is not bad with the controller but the wheel makes it so much smoother. I also seem to get better FFB with the wheel and it makes the Lowes bumps that much more noticeable.

Throttle control is one major knock on the controller imo. The paint shop feature I'm looking forward to tinkering around with.

I got black flagged for bump drafting people too close to the corners.

Re: NASCAR 09 Demo May 29

Haven't had a chance to try out the demo yet, but it doesn't sound too bad. One question though, the game isn't coop is it? I know it wasn't last year, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be by now, but I haven't heard anything so I doubt it is.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Definitely no split screen this year.

BTW...for the poster mentioning getting a wheel. I know not everyone is a fan of it, but I saw Amazon.com has the MS wireless wheel for $80 today.
