Official word from Papyrus comes as a shock to me. It seems that they will debut their followup to NASCAR Racing, errr I mean NASCAR 3 at the E3, aptly titled NASCAR 4. It looks like NASCAR Heat may be the best thing that could have heppened to Papyrus and their games, now that they have some competition they will have a reason to put out some high quality material and not just a beautified Indy 500 the simulation remake. If HEAT comes out to be more than just graphics, we may have two very high quality sims within the end of the year. I love competition, it really makes everyhting worth while. The Post from Dave Matson on the Sierra MotorSports message board is below.
NASCAR Racing 4 will debut at the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) in LA from May 8th to the 11th. I can't really say anything more about the product until then. I just want you folks to know that NR4 will be a worthy defender of the Papyrus crown against our insurgent competitors. It is going to be a very interesting year for NASCAR sims!
In the next few weeks, I'll try to put a screenshot or two on the papy.com web site to tease you all.
