A new batch of Screenshots was released today.

Wow, I take back what I said the other day. This game looks very promising. Damage looks fantastic, although I am absolutely horrified that they would show Bobby Labonte spinning out. lol. If Bayne is in the 16a, then who is in the Out! PetCare car (I believe that is in the NHMS shot).

 

[Legacyofthe24]

team wendy's refers to the restaurant. it has to do with their football friday promotion they've had for a while now. you might have seen it on NFL Live on fridays. as far as the out! pet care car goes, it'll probably be ryan truex.

thanks for clearing that up wasn't sure exactly what Team Wendy's was just knew they had something to do with helmets

does anyone know a lot about the create-a-car feature?

It'll be along the same lines of the Forza/Midnight Club/NFS vinyl features, but instead of doing "Left Side, Right Side, Top, etc" it's a 3D model that you basically wrap the vinyls around. You can customize your number font as well as make custom logos.

No idea how many vinyl layers you can have though or what pre-made vinyls/logos there is.

 

[SpeedEnergy]

will there be actual real sponsors that you can put on your car? or do you have to make sponsor logos yourself

There will be premade sponsor logos, but no idea on how many or which real companies will be available.

 

[Legacyofthe24]

i tell ya if they have real sponsors pre-made and as long as two of 'em are BPS and realtree, i'm all good.

 

[JeffJordan]

I hope there will be .psd templates that can be painted and put in game.

Nope, and you can blame Microsoft for it. They looked at doing it but since they are using the 360 servers they couldn't do it because Microsoft does not allow you to upload from your PC to their servers.

 

[Josh Mertz]

And people say Microsoft is the best. Load of bull.

Microsoft :roll:

 

[Legacyofthe24]

yeah but it's probably a good thing b/c think about how many more hackers there would be if the xbox servers were accessible via a computer? probably more of a "be on the safe side" type of thing.

Don't turn this into a console war.

I'm really not impressed at all. The car models still look annoyingly pixelated around the edges, the brown wash is annoying as heck, and the damage model looks as expected: ridiculously overstated. Since when do cars regularly get gaping holes torn into their front bumpers?

I'm sorry, but everything here has been done better somewhere else.

Ummmm.... the damage model here is the best it has ever been in any game.
if you hit another car just right, of course a hole can be in your bumper

It may be the most comprehensive, but that doesn't make it realistic, or the best.

Guess you've never seen Grid.

Key wording is "just right." It's not a common occurrence to have a hole made on the front bumper. A front-end collision is either going to rip off most of the sheet metal or none at all.

Holes only usually show up in collisions involving the fenders, most of the time as a result of a down tire chewing its way through the sheet metal.

 

[SpeedEnergy]

thanks for showing me that, never knew GRID before

 

[JeffJordan]

I think that GRID has the world record for most moving parts in a car racing game.

 

[moppenheimer]

Too bad the handling sucked, and wheel support was poor because with those two things, it would've been a great game instead of just a decent one.
