I now know the new update is amazing and awful. Physics are better and worse. PSVR2 has been updated and not updated. It is more sim, more simcade, and more arcade - all at the same time. 45% of people are happy, 45% of people are unhappy, 5% are over the moon, and 5% are ready to kill someone. Gaming in 2026 sure is divisive.

GT8 here we come.

Given the information we now have concerning improvements and changes from NASCAR 25 to NASCAR 26 does it currently appear to be worth $60+ to owners of N25?

Short answer: absolutely fucking no way on earth.

The imbecile known as RealRadMan on YouTube decided only yesterday to try and get 7K+ more views on his shitty channel by making a video about the negativity surrounding the NASCAR 26 Q&A, where we once again had to endure Matt Tone-Deaf Lewis talking out of both sides of his mouth at once.

“It’s not a sim.” “It’s too hard.” “It’s not a priority.” “It’s a licensing issue.” “Maybe next year.” “It’s not possible.”

Although RealRadMan was right pointing out that the Q&A method of communication usually ends up talking about all the things people aren’t getting and that things end up getting negative as a consequence, he then goes on to get negative about the negativity.

Who the fuck does he think is at fault for the negativity if Matt Numb-Nuts Lewis decided to do the same idiotic thing he did last year that caused all the negativity?

RealRadman, in case you didn’t know, is the same man-child who wanted to sell NASCAR 21 IGNITION to his viewers claiming it was a “very good game” after he got some perks and early access from the developers. So you should know what motivates him when putting out his videos.

He is also someone who mistakenly believes that negativity is the same thing as criticism. In his video he goes through the list of comments and labels the positive ones as "normal" and the ones that are critical as "negative".

Hey Radman, go fuck yourself! The criticism this year is more deserved than that of the criticism last year you utter muppet.

Now that I have seen the likes of this guy, straight out the gate, wanting to immediately shill for this company not having seen the game yet, and given the short list of mostly lacklustre improvements we have been told we are getting, as well as the long list of things we know we aren’t getting, then we can expect more shilling from other YouTubers and many of their followers here on this sub in the coming weeks and months.

RealRadman actually said “the biggest thing” from the Q&A was that Kyle Busch is in the game.

The biggest thing!

Unfortunately, he said, it got lost in all the negativity.

Really?

Does this immature donut really believe that Kyle Busch being in NASCAR 26 (in a very limited way) is worth $60+ to NASCAR Video Gamers?

Here is the long and short of it; if Matt Shoulder Pads Lewis had come out and said “guys, we appreciate you supporting NASCAR 25 last year, and we told you it might be a long road ahead, so our release this year will be a $30 upgrade as we work towards NASCAR 27 with even more innovation and features” then the praise the team would have got would be off the charts.

Instead they want the full amount again for limited innovation and no further features and with a copy and paste career mode, and they will no doubt be selling another shitty Ultra Premium Edition of utterly fuck-all to the most gullible amongst us to boot.

And that is who the likes of RealRadman is hoping to influence; the most gullible amongst us.

Well, like I said, RealRadman and the other snake-oil salesman of his ilk, can go and swivel on a bar stool leg.

I’ll be in Tampa beginning of October to attend my first Horror Con!! Anyone else hitting this up?? I’m super excited!!
