I just hope this one is better than the BETA version that was released earlier this year. It doesn't sound real promising to me but I thought someone here may be interested.

Activision introduces 'NASCAR Unleashed' game

Activision Publishing, Inc. announced on Thursday that NASCAR Unleashed will be available in the fall on Xbox 360, PlayStation3, Wii and the Nintendo 3DS.

NASCAR Unleashed is the newest entry in the NASCAR branded racing series and will allow players to take their racer to the streets by driving on and off some of NASCAR's most famous tracks.

Gamers can choose a turbo-charged race machine from 15 of NASCAR's biggest names, including Cup series drivers Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt, Jr, Jeff Gordon, and Joey Logano. In -game tracks include Daytona International Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Martinsville Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. Racers can break free from the oval as they explode onto the pavements, beaches and off-roads of surrounding cities.

"NASCAR has been tremendous in that they've given us the flexibility to design different kinds of racing games for their vast audience," said David Oxford, executive vice president of Activision Publishing. "We really wanted to make something electrifying for all NASCAR fans, not just the hardcore. NASCAR Unleashed gives players a new style of speed and excitement, without sacrificing accessibility."

NASCAR Unleashed was made possible through an agreement between Activision and NASCAR Team Properties, which was formed in 2010 and is an industry-managed organization representing the sanctioning body and nearly all NASCAR teams for the sport's licensed merchandise business. In June, NASCAR Team Properties was recognized as Best Sports Program of the Year by the International Licensing Industry and Merchandisers' Association.

"NASCAR Unleashed is a wild and imaginative experience with few real world boundaries," said Blake Davidson, vice president of licensing & consumer products at NASCAR and board member of NASCAR Team Properties. "By integrating NASCAR into a high octane, blindingly fast, home racing experience, we can deliver an entirely unique style of racing that will captivate players and help introduce our sport to new fans."

The key to gameplay is bumping and grinding opponents out of the lead to seize the top spot. Mastering popular NASCAR techniques like drafting will give drivers the ability to pull out and take the checkers. Throughout, an arcade style Heads-Up-Display will inform gamers of their race position, current speed, achievements and unlocks.

Seem's kinda Nascar Rumble like to me and I did like that game so I'll be willing to give this game a shot when it comes out. I just hope they end up making another one with an actual Nascar season to it and hope they bring back the Nationwide and Truck Series to it. I missed that on this years game.
 
No thanks. Those games are too goofy. I'm still waiting on a good sim game, but I guess there won't be another one again.
 
Sounds just like that awful NASCAR kart game.
 
EA has tried this before & it didn't work, don't reccomend it to anyone, skip it. What needs to happen is another PC NASCAR game needs to be made with all the current cars & all three series & no made up fictional cars included. Give the player the opportunity to create his own cars/teams/driver what have you. Include all tracks that the three series race on with online playability & that would be a good game...

Agreed, but I think people are too afraid to go up against iRacing, which I don't get because one of the major drawbacks of iRacing is that you have to keep spending money to get the latest update. Which is fine if you're using iRacing as a way to practice or a hardcore iRacing fan. However the rest of us just don't see the point in continuing spending money on a product like iRacing.

What would be awesome if someone develops another PC game like NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, it's one of the most widely used PC racing sim out there. It could be Nascar Racing 2011 Season.
 
I've never been that great at the computer racing games :( so that wouldn't work too great for me if they made one.
 
Here's an idea....NASCAR tycoon, you get to race but also get to do ownership things.
