DUSENBERRY MARTIN RACING ANNOUNCES NASCAR HEAT EVOLUTION

New NASCAR-Licensed Video Game Comes to Modern-Generation Platforms; Reveals Toyota Driver Cover Athlete Competition

Dusenberry Martin Racing (DMR), NASCAR’s exclusive console simulation-style video game licensee, today announced the future of NASCAR gaming with NASCAR Heat Evolution – launching September 13, 2016. Marking the debut of the NASCAR video game series on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One, and also arriving on Windows PC, this new title will provide fans with a brand-new and authentic racing experience.

NASCAR Heat Evolution will immerse fans in the door-to-door excitement of stock car racing and allow users to live the experience of taking the checkered flag. Whether a casual or hardcore gaming fan, NASCAR Heat Evolution will dynamically adapt to any skill level and deliver a true-to-life racing experience. The new game will feature all of the top drivers, teams, and incredibly detailed tracks and environments, giving fans the opportunity to feel what it is like to be a racing legend.

“Our company is a team of highly skilled gaming vertans with a proven record of success in NASCAR game development and publishing. Our commitment to the NASCAR community is to consistently deliver fun, engaging and high-quality NASCAR games to the market,” said DMR Chief Executive Officer Tom Dusenberry.

DMR, whose licensing agreement with NASCAR Team Properties runs through 2020, partnered with Monster Games to create NASCAR Heat Evolution, bringing more than 100 years of combined NASCAR games experience to the project.

DMR President Ed Martin said, “To deliver an all-new NASCAR game experience, we assembled an all-star team of NASCAR game experts and started with a clean sheet of paper. What the DMR and Monster Games teams have come up with is going to amaze NASCAR fans.”

From the same legendary team that created the critically acclaimed NASCAR titles NASCAR Heat and NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, Monster Games has a clear vision for NASCAR Heat Evolution.

“The Monster Games team is thrilled to partner again with Tom, Ed and the Dusenberry Martin Racing team. We have been working on NASCAR Heat Evolution for 18 months and are excited about what we have created. From day one, our goal has been to deliver a fun, engaging and realistic racing game designed for NASCAR fans,” said Monster Games President Richard Garcia.

“The gaming space allows fans to consume our sport on a daily basis, ultimately helping grow and diversify our audience,” said Blake Davidson, Vice President of Consumer Products and Licensing, NASCAR. “Our fans have eagerly anticipated the arrival of a new NASCAR game, and we expect that NASCAR Heat Evolution will be well worth the wait.”

DMR has also partnered with Toyota, an Official NASCAR Partner, in a unique video game cover athlete competition. The first Toyota driver to cross the finish line in the 2016 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway will be the cover athlete of NASCAR Heat Evolution. Choosing a cover athlete from an on-track competition is a first in video game history. NASCAR Heat Evolution will mark the first time Toyota or any of their eligible drivers – Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr. – will be the face of a NASCAR video game. Toyota and DMR are developing an innovative in-game branding partnership that will elevate the racing experience for video game fans.

Fans that are ready to strap in and feel the adrenaline of a NASCAR racing experience have the opportunity to pre-order NASCAR Heat Evolution now at NASCARHeat.com, GameStop, Target.com, Walmart.com and the PlayStation®Store. NASCAR Heat Evolution will take racing fans to a level of realism, excitement and authenticity that has never been seen on a console before.

The foundation on the last games from the group that is now DMR was great, the game itself, on track, not so much, from rubber banding AI, to AI that wanted to drive through you, it just wasnt.... good. It was just... ok.

So now, lets yeah, affiliate with a former group that was good, resurrect some title names that were good, and all is good... No. Sorry. That's not going to cut it.

Let's see some substance. We've known for months now that something was coming... they've talked about it... so now, show it.

I want an awesome nascar game as bad as anyone. All I'm saying is, lets not get carried away yet because they brought back an old name.

As for bluengold34_OS's opinion on Nascar/racing games, my interpretation is he has some connections to these guys, so yeah, I take his word for it, and he seems to be looking for what I'm looking for in a Nascar game, so yeah... I may be cautiously optimistic, and reserved about this, but it doesnt mean I'm sitting her saying nevermind, it sucks, dont bother... I'm just saying, they've got alot to prove, and alot of work to do. I still play NTG15 on my original xbox. It's the only reason I still have it... but it leaves alot to be desired.

Well, I'm sorry you can't handle discussion, and constructive criticism on a message board. I'm not sure what else to tell you.

Again, their past experience, doesnt leave alot to be desired. The resurrected title names sure do, but there is a long way to go from there.

I hope, and want it to be great and I trust bng's recommendation waiting... Just wanted more today and in the past. That's all I'm going to say about this for now until more details are released. I have faith, I feel Activision (iirc?) Held them back from the their vision, so time will tell.

*Fingers crossed*

There is literally one guy that carried over from Eutechnyx - Ed Martin, and Ed wasn't the issue on the last series. This game is being developed by almost the exact same team from Monster that created Heat and Dirt to Daytona. They are located in Minnesota, and they have built this game from the ground up.

That's great news then. I thought I had read somewhere that much of the team was still intact.

I will have to pass on this question, and hope you understand.

I just hope they put in the extra effort and scanned every track and car.

That sound amazing, but are they scanned in?
 
# 33 Aggies7 @ 05/21/16 03:51 PM
Just hope they have improved collision physics and damage model.
 
# 34 RyanLaFalce @ 05/21/16 06:10 PM
I also think, at least for offline season mode, drivers should have different ratings. So driving with Danica might be tougher than driving with Kyle Busch or Jimmie Johnson.

Wonder if we'll see anything about the game at E3?

Hoping for the best. If it really is a brand new game built from scratch then I am optimistic. If it's using anything from the nascar:the game series I look forward to the next company with the nascar license in 2020.

Something I have always wanted in a NASCAR title is the ability to have crew chiefs that can make the proper adjustments to the cars, since some of us have no clue how to properly tune cars.

For example, in career mode have the choice to sign a crew chief based on certain ratings/$$$ and have the ability during the race to give feedback, which would allow pit stop adjustments that he chooses.

I really hope this will be an option because I know next to nothing about tuning cars and would increase the realism a bit IMO.
