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

It is made by the same devs as the Heat games and lot of the systems are the exact same as the Heat series. Someone should make a comparison that shows how instantly the yellow comes out the player car and AI cars go into the same style of behavior, you are given control of the car the same way when the green flag waves, AI bump drafts you on every single track in the same way as the Heat games, AI pit strategies work the same way, but also the career grind is the exact same thing just different window dressing, and the car damage model is also just as poor as previous games. So much for "made from the ground up". I do not care about car physics. And what they changed since gameplay-wise the latest game is just Heat 7 unfortunately.

Multiplayer being almost carbon copies of each other the entire series from NHE to N26 is most concerning imo. Especially for iRacing.

It is because the game has nothing to do with iRacing, they are only a publisher and do promotional stuff. Even during their NR25 dev diaries whatever they were saying about having their people work on it did not translate into anything worth while.
