Very nice. If it lives up to the hype, this will be the NASCAR title we all wished we had for the past several years on consoles.

Wow, this is what I've been looking for in a NASCAR sim for the consoles for a long time. I'm really excited about this; just hope it lives up to his words.

Love the paint editor idea, now hopefully you can share them.

I wonder what mode that video was played in?

No cautions after several spins, and also I saw a rear bumper in the middle of the track, and again no caution.

Looks good regardless, though.

I thought the same thing but then figured they had cautions off so that the viewer could simply see gameplay around the track.

Well if this is indeed the demo, then flags are probably off due to the demo being six laps

[Dazraz]

The game certainly looks & sounds good. The lack of a caution flag is likely due to the setting being switched off.
The AI car looked a little loose at times but again this is likely a setup issue.

WOW! Color me impressed. This may be a a great NASCAR racing sim with all the settings and adaptive AI. Did they say anything about a demo? I didn't hear them mention it.

Yeah, I was tired last night when I posted this. I was about to retract my post today, after thinking about it.

You're probably right-----they turned cautions off to show gameplay.

Love the paint scheme idea.

Gotta get Kasey Kahne and Kurt Busch's beer sponsored cars in there now.

Realistic vehicle damage is something that's been severely lacking in so called "racing sims" so this is a refreshing bit of news. However, the Gamespot interviewer and apparently the members here seem to just ignore it as if it's insignificant. The developer had to keep emphasing this feature but it was obvious the interviewer had no interest.

Man I was sold when I learned alot of the Papyrus guys were involved in this game....gonna be interesting to see.

This looks great. Based on the thread title, I was kinda hoping they were going to say when the demo for the game was going to drop though.

[Mos1ted]

I'm not even a NASCAR guy, but even this demo has piqued my interest in the game. Just the attention to detail that the developers are putting into makes me want to try it out. There's been instances when playing the video game made me a fan of the actual sport. The way this game is looking, this just might be the case again. I wish more developers (looking at you 2 letter!) would have this level of sim-focused gameplay from the jump. You couldn't tell that this game will be the first of a new franchise.
