Yeah, just looked bizarre, like all the AI cars were tied together or something. I do like the picture in picture thing though. Gives it a nice broadcast feel. Spotter is a lot busier than some of the other videos as well. I think that's new isn't? Can't remember seeing that before. Could be wrong though.

Also, is that some really bad popup on the crowd or just the viewing angle changing? It looks like it's adding an extra layer of detail, but it's hard to tell because of the quality.

first of all who the heck drives 3rd person behind the car anyways? These vids are killin the vibe of this game, AI looks bad and it just looked SO arcadish. After watching the developers video interviews I can understand why this game might just be a dud. Its a bunch on Brits developing the most pure American sport there is, NASCAR. One of the guys called the different cars "Liveries"...... made me cringe.

I just cancelled my preorder for this game and will wait for the impessions to roll in. Just can't justify the added expense after seeing videos like these. I have yet to see a video of the game that doesn't scream out arcade. You can clearly see how much work still needs to done with this series.

1) The AI cars never responded and just drove around the track in line with little to no separation.

2) Sling shot around at Bristol???? Seriously?

3) Another video of bumper cars with no consequences for poor driving.

4) If the developers can't drive their own creation what does that tell you?

It could be on rookie difficulty.

Its called a low difficulty setting.

Not from what I was reading on their Twitter. Yes they said they will increase the difficulty but what we witnessed in this latest video was on the higher settings!

They also said the AI will not separate with just a 6 lap race but will do so over a much longer distance.

Difficulty settings aside, this looks like something EA helped produce. Three-wide racing all the way through the corners at Bristol? Points for a clean pass and being able to hold the draft? The car bouncing off the other car as you dive down into the corner? It just seems like this game is going to have a very unwelcomed arcade feeling.
