I'd love an OR if I knew my hardware supported it, especially for Elite. The only problem is that I wear glasses most of the time these days, and I don't want to pop in contacts every time I want to game.

solution: wear those flexible birth-control eyeglasses that were designed to be worn in gas masks for the OR.
i know they've existed since at least the mid 1990's, the PHD reservist in my unit wore them.

Yup, see above. Apparently they're going to nerf the rare good "exploit" so I'm going to grind the poo poo out of it until next patch. My Asp is a murder machine but I want a bigger murder machine. Also my insurance is sitting at about 1.1 million credits right now so that's kind of my hard lower limit on my bank balance.

Unfortunately no. I got the cobra nest pack free and a bunch of others free when they were mistakenly listed at $0 for a couple hours. So far no skins for anything bigger than the Cobra/Viper.

The funniest part of no wipe is that the people who said gently caress it and went to explore the other end of the galaxy now have to either self-wipe to progress or make a 50,000 light year haul to civilized space without dying to cash in on the cartographic data.

How does the multiplayer work exactly? Do you just race a bunch of randoms or what? Are you just competing against times?

Any rally? Where does it fall in regards to sim/arcadey?

As of now there are pre-made lobbies that cycle out. You race against other people online or whomever you're in a club with. Private lobbies is supposedly in the works.

There is a fully realized time trial mode that is, I think, the heart of the game. Pick a car, weather, time of day, rate of time change, track, and go race. There is no rallying. Tracks are based on real-world roads found in each country. There are proper tracks, which are fictional. You also have the ability to do all of that, but in a one-off race, and then there's the actual 'campaign' which is a crummy old school Tour mode that requires specific goals to be met to earn starts that unlock other events. It can get grindy and not fun. I'd rather just make my own races to earn XP that way.

It's no secret that I love Driveclub. It's a game that tosses a very good selection of cars onto some fun road/track courses with fully dynamic weather and day/night cycle. There's just an absolute ton of variety and challenge inherent to the game because of that.

The handling model skews towards sim in the sense that smart, proper driving is rewarded while the ability to kick out the tail of a car and beat up on it is there and equally as fun. The best way I can phrase it is it's Top Gear's style of driving come to live in an accessible manner. No need to pore over car setups or whatever. Each car drives in a unique manner and some are absolutely out to kill you for bad driving like the RUF cars, which is how they are in real life.

Here's a few screenshots I took today.

Historically, the only good rally games have been entirely focused on rallying. The physics that drive that kind of racing versus road are enormously different. We're talking a grip surface that behaves as a shifting liquid on top of a solid. When Gran Turismo tackled rally racing it was simply the developers lessening global grip. :spergin:

yeah, the last one was super depressing because all the voice overs in the game were in past tense. Like "Colin loved this car". "Colin thought this track was cool". "Colin misses the love of his family" and stuff like that.

No. I have never encountered any racing sim that let the camera be moved away from the actual driving position within reason.
