Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Ok...I People had real concerns about the AI taking different lines, fighting for position...here is your evidence.

Please not that the damage is there, and well done. Its just nearly as noticeable during the actual wreck in real time.
different view!!

Nice floating splitter is that legal? I think Nascar needs to inspect Kyle's car. I see some suspensions and point deductions coming.

You haven't bailed cuz of the whole caddie system thing, huh?

i didn't mind the caddie in the TW demo. i thought demo played good and having augusta will make up for any shortcomings IMO

Even though your suppose to be on ignore, I shall answer the question anyway. I'm not sure if it was a flat, but it sure in the heck felt like one. I couldn't even hold a line or turn. If it wasn't for the caution, there was no way I could have made it back to pit road...very well done. The force feedback in the wheel was very strong, and a hard to control, as it kept kicking back and forth
.

It's all good, you took Jeff's car the opposite way on the track which is much better than hitting a wall.

Fair enough....I do what I can.

I agree. Devs said it will be a few months but that is fine as I wanted to race 2010 first anyways.

From Page 7 :

How about the Spotter? Does he accurately tell you if you got cars around or if you´re running 2,3 or even 4 wide.
I´m rather worried about this point as the video footages that we´ve seen indeed included a spotter voice but he almost never told you anything about that.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Someone on the NASCAR 2011 site has said the following:

here is Richard's quote straight from Facebook

"i think its fine, reviewers often get earlier versions than the ones you see in the shops"

straight from Richard Towler himself

Is this guy full of it, or is there a chance you have an earlier build? Could you please confirm as this potentially could explain the damage.

does using assists slow you down any when compared to not using them at all?

Re: NASCAR The Game 2011 Q&A and Impressions

Thanks for your great and thorough impressions! You have renewed my faith that this game might be great after all. Still wish they added a few more pre-race ceremony stuff. Dont understand why they couldnt add "Gentlemen, start your engines" in there, and let the player drive the 1st parade lap. Think that gets a player pumped for the race, kinda like Nascar Racing 2003 did.

I didnt see this posted yet, but are you at least able to drive the caution laps or is it computer controlled?

The spotter is actually decent, for being a digital voice. He, for the most part, is pretty acurate and on time in his delivery of pertinant information. The cross hair cam at the bottom of the screen is what I fell in love with. Without having to look back, you can see what cars are around you, how close they are, and if they are drafting off of you....great tool.

Well, nothing against Richard at all, but my copy is the full retail version of the game. I was lucky enough to score the only retail review copy in the nation. I am doing an interview with USA Today, tommorrow, and needed some real seat time with the retail version.

does using assists slow you down any when compared to not using them at all?

They do slow you down, and depending on what level your on, it can be pretty significant. The biggest slow down comes from using brake assist(isn't it always this one though) but I won using a small combo of assist on, and was not a real issue.

Eutechnyx's really give's the driver/player so many options that you can configure this game down to the smallest of detail, and make it drive how you pretty much want it to.

Thank you.
