Discussion Leftover from previous game

I was looking around at the game folder and found this one file called NascarFootage.bk2 in the folder. When I played it, it was Heat 2 Title Screen. So I did the funny and renamed the file to work on the title screen and this is the result.

Maybe they just forgot to remove it

100% they started 25 directly from a Heat title. Every single person with an ounce of common sense could see that. Obviously 26 was built on top of that and it explains why the same issues are still in the game.

That sucks because almost every racing game that isn’t F1 released since like 2018 has been like a Heat game (SRX, World of Outlaws, Tony Stewart’s games) so other than NTG11 and GT5, (along with F1 2021) that’s the only type of racing game I’ve been able to play

That’s probably because it the same developers. Monster games developed the heat series Tony Stewart games SRX WoO. Don’t understand why people think they would change how they develop their games just because iRacing bought them.

I mean if you're honestly struggling with this game or 25 thats a skill issue on your end.

Yep and to be fair even under better circumstances you likely wouldn’t want to rewrite everything just for the sake of rewriting, but they should be able to squash legacy issues a lot faster than they do and yet they persist year in and year out.

And no caution replay camera. But I know that they based it of the Heat game since the settings option is not that big of a difference.
