Gameplay trailer is here:
My initial impressions:
11 series and 49 tracks announced for launch, with more tracks coming as DLC. If they maintain the medal format from last time--16 medals per series, per track--that will be nearly 9,000 medals to track down.
Gold Edition pre-order works out a $5 rebate on the Season Pass, and 3 days of early access, rather than the 7 they were previously talking about. No wonder pre-orders are opening this late...
Quick shot in the trailer showed a rather cramped Local office--yup, your team is based in Indiana again, based on the map--which SEEMS, and this is unconfirmed, to hint at better digs as you move up the ranks. Speaking of, there are four ranks this time around, with Outlaws now being a separate tier above Nationals.
Wing adjustments on the fly could potentially make Sprint series feel markedly different from Modifieds. Time will tell.
Not much revealed here on presentation. Menus definitely got a snazzy coat of paint that no longer looks like a Ctrl-C Ctrl-V from SRX: The Game, but...that's all I see.
Mini challenges could offer a bit of a break from the Career Mode...or they could end up being an aggravation on the side, a la the Top Gear minibus race in GT5. We'll see.
There's got to be more to come in the next week or two, one hopes. That CAN'T be all the updates, surely?
