Nascar The Game 2012!!!!

[RaCeRKiD5]

Yeah I loved Nascar Thunder's career mode.... it made being successful in the game actually mean something and you had to work for it....

Last year I was really excited about the 2011 game. But that was before I played NR2003. Now it's not really a big deal. I'll try NTG 2012 when it comes out but I'd be really surprised if the game's a drastic improvement over NTG 2011.

For me the biggest thing they need to do is put together a in-depth career mode. It's been sorely missed from Nascar games since NT2003 -2004 and Dirt to Daytona. Things like managing your crew and car builders, R&D, Building cars, Signing Sponsors, News reports and articular clippings, Stats, Etc... It's things like those that can really take it from something where you beat the AI 50,000 time and it ends up cliché and meaningless to where every time you win you progress somewhere (And I don't mean a stupid XP meter ) But that's just me...

Wouldn't get past the first few words against a panel of investors sadly...we can dream

Or, get a bunch of us together and make it ourselves. I know of one browser game that does all of that. Sadly it's dead.

That, sadly is the problem. Games companies 9and any companies) are paid to make things sound amazing. Personally I liked NTG2012, but I tend to have low expectations for licensed games in the first place.

I think they could make it NTG12 better, but I doubt it will be a whole lot better than NTG11 (which I actually like). I agree that Papyrus should make Nascar games.

 

[MONSTERamp]

Think we need a NTG 2012 Wishlist. Maybe. Maybe not.

NASCAR Thunder's career mode owned.

As for this one, I'm gonna take the safe route and keep my expectations low. Most people bought into their BS marketing and look how they wanted to read the riot at to Eutechnyx when the game's released.

u-tech-nuts lost all my trust after the failure that is NTG2011, I don't expect NTG2012 to be any better, F12011 is a WHOLE lot better, Codemasters knows what they are doing, utechnuts does not. Im not buying ntg2012 unless it blows all other racing games away

 

[tha0ne]

Does anyone think Codemasters could pull off a NASCAR game?

 

[Tim2488]

From seeing what Codemasters has done with the Dirt, F1 franchises & GRID, I'd say they'd make a great NASCAR licenser.

They failed pretty hard at their last attempt for a Stockcar branded game.

^ Do you see what platform thats on? Have you played DiRT, its amazing, even on PC. They would make one hell of a NASCAR game, probably be able to make it as good as NR2003.

 

[SpeedEnergy]

Yeah I don't think anybody plays Playstation 1 anymore, it was hard to make a good game on that system. Codemasters would make a great nascar game because how many racing games have they made since then? They have the experience, u-tech-nuts does not they embarrassed nascar, and the license should be revoked from them and obtained by Codemasters. F12011 is a great game.

I think Codemasters would make one heluva NASCAR game. I would love to see them get the licence. Eutechnyx has potential for 2012 and might be able to fix the big mistakes but codemaster would blow them out of the water. I wish NASCAR gave the licence to an experienced racing game maker with success. I've never heard of eutechnyx until ntg11.

You mean you have never heard of great games such as Pimp My Ride and Big Mutha Truckers 1 and 2.

NASCAR gave the license to EA, look where that wound up. At the time they had a ton of racing game/sim experience (counting consoles/handhelds, not just PC)

I'm gonna say no about the Codemasters idea. Dirt 1/2/3, while fun, are nowhere at all near sim. Anyone played GRID or Race driver 1? RD1 had (unlicensed) tracks and a single stock car in it. Nowhere near sim (you could crash head on into a wall and drive away )

F1 2011 may not be a full sim. It is a great game that admires the sport and portrays the sport great. Plus the handling model is BOSS.......and yes I did say BOSS. Heck it is better than nothing.

Anybody who has the money to make a NASCAR game can.

As for Codemasters..............

Huh???? Some of the best video games were made for PS1. Better than half the crap they put out nowadays.

 

[eric14israndom]

EA did have success at first. I have to say NASCAR 05 had to be the best NASCAR game I played. NASCAR Thunder 03 was also very good. EA just started messing up and they didn't want to fix it.

Fun fact: F1 2010 was widely unpopular due to hilarious bugs.

Hindsight's 20/20. Codies could make a game worse than NTG2011.

Driver, Final Fantasy, NASCAR 98...it's not that hard.

Again, hindsight's 20/20.

Don't forget Street Racing Syndicate.

Well, they kind of did. NASCAR 2005 was ruined by the end-of-season lockup bug, tho.
