It isn’t perfect, but the fact that the AI finally realizes you’re on the track and doesn’t try to wreck you is important. If you pit later or take four tires, you have the potential of lasting longer and running faster lap times.Īs for the AI, this is some of the best AI I’ve seen in a racing game. Tire strategy can also make or break a race and this goes in line with just how well the AI is in the game. Finding the best line and drafting as you work to gain a spot is fantastic. Grinding twenty laps to run down the car in front of you is extremely rewarding. Different types of racing exists and depending on the track, cars will be bunched up or create space over time. The best way to say that NASCAR Heat 4 very well replicates the NASCAR experience is that everything you hear an analyst talk about during a broadcast is here. ![]() This game can be an arm workout when using a wheel. Force feedback, even at default, is tremendously responsive. Go to a bumpy track like Las Vegas and not only will you feel every bump, but the car loses stability as it’s hopping along the asphalt. Each track feels different and the better paved tracks are an easier experience. You will find yourself running lap after lap in practice just to beat the goal time. Using a Logitech G29 steering wheel is the absolute best way to get the full experience. The cars in NASCAR Heat 4 truly feel like you’re piloting a nearly 4,000 pound car. Short tracks involve heavy breaking and road courses involve precise driving. Different tracks attract different styles as super speedways focus on laying the gas down and drafting, while tri-ovals focus on throttle management and working the pack. If the tires go too much, you’ll find yourself spinning out. Tires lose grip and the handling disappears over time. Loose handling can provide a faster car but it all depends on the track. The physics of the cars now allow for the tail end to slide out as a quick tuning option allows for an easy setup of focusing on tight or loose handling. It’s safe to say that Monster Games has done an excellent job with not only making the gameplay viable for eSports, it makes NASCAR Heat 4 feel like a true stock car racing game. ![]() 704Games teamed up with the Motorsport Network to solidify the NASCAR license until 2029. Last year, the NASCAR Heat series made the dive into eSports but the series still had some issues with gameplay. Sure, Codemasters’ F1 series does an excellent job but playing NASCAR Heat 4 will show you just how exciting the sport is. It’s hard to argue if there has ever been a racing game to so properly replicate the sport. NASCAR Heat 4 is the latest iteration in the series and what it brings to the table for NASCAR fans is quite the leap. While Monster Games and 704Games have offered a viable NASCAR gaming experience with its NASCAR Heat series, it seemed to sit towards the back when it came with keeping up with other racing series. ![]()
