NASCAR Heat 2 Gameplay Video - Single & Split Screen Multiplayer (IGN)
IGN has posted some new NASCAR Heat 2 gameplay footage with 704 Games’ Matt Dusenberry, featuring some single player racing from Homestead Miami Speedway and split screen multiplayer racing from Dover International Speedway.
Matt answers some of the many questions about the game during the video, check it out and post your thoughts.
Definitely need to see more before I buy this. Maybe career mode will save it for me, but damage model has to be more realistic and need physics to punish for bouncing off of cars or the walls.
Just my opinion.

Yeah, it's definitely on easy, or normal (whatever they called it last year) and not on the simulation driving model. The sim model in last years game you'd have a hard time controlling the car like that bumping off everyone and driving half on the banking, half on the apron without spinning out. Damage also appears to be off in this as well.
My biggest gripe with the video is the AI seems to be like tanks again too, just stuck to the track. Again, could be the setting they're playing on, but I found the AI too stuck to the track compared to the player car in all modes last year.
Exactly. I mean, it looks good, but it's nowhere near what it should. It's like the Golf Club 2 to me. Does it look good? Sure. Does it look like a 2017 XB1, PS4, or PC game should look? Absolutely not. That's disappointing, but I'm sure it's being held back by Unity or something. It's a shame really. The tech is there, and the power is there in the consoles, and of course on gaming PC's so I'd like to see it improved. If the frame rate on the consoles isn't better this year the whole thing will be a lost cause to me. It sure seemed like it struggled to even maintain 30 last year.
I'd love to see a visual upgrade, but I just don't see it happening anytime soon given their resources and possibly the limitations of the engine and such.
Really wish they'd shared information about specific features and improvements though, rather than just say we implemented fan feedback. Yeah... great, in regards to what though? Lots of time before release, I get it, I just thought they'd want to get that stuff out there early given how rough the first one went over initially.
That's kinda where I'm at. I'm sure I'll end up buying this either way, but man, it's 2017. People should expect 60fps from a modern racing game.
I was really hoping to get a good NASCAR game finally...this only deflates those hopes.

I'm not sure why they'd show it off that way either. However, if you didn't play the first one, I'd say you can rest assured that the game isn't simply floor it and drive by everyone without a problem. I mean, sure, you can set it that way, and play in the "casual" mode or whatever they called it last year where essentially all assists were on and you could just hold the gas down and go, and set the difficulty low enough that you'd fly by them too, but if you ran in simulation mode, with higher difficulty settings, it would have looked nothing like this video.
Not sure why they chose to show it off this way, my guess is that with someone potentially playing the game who may not be good at it, or play it regularly the easy mode settings at least allow the video to come across as a racing game, as opposed to someone controlling the car that doesn't know how to drive smashing into everything. You aren't going to show off much that way. I think the easy settings just allow someone who likely doesn't, and won't play regularly still be able to show the game off in a video while conducting an interview.
I "like" any post that contains '60fps' and 'racing game' cuz I'm a slut for dat.
