I'm in a weird spot with driving games, probably because I've never driven a car IRL and likely never will. I appreciate a good amount of realism (and for some reason can't seem to enjoy a driving game with made-up cars), but a full-on sim can be way overwhelming and I don't think I'll ever want to use a manual transmission. I love Forza's racing line (I'd never know how to take corners properly without it) and am way too scrubby to feel shame at having driving assists turned on. How friendly is this game going to be to a dork like me that doesn't understand the first thing about how driving a car actually works? The career mode and frankly stunning visuals have me really interested in this, but I'm afraid it'll be too hardcore for me. For comparison's sake, the last driving game I played was Forza Horizon on the 360 and I had a lot of fun with it.

Ought to cater nicely to you while providing challenging cars and tracks to grow with. Honestly, a good sim can teach you how to drive. Consider the assists something that you'll grow out of needing as you figure out all the nitnoid racing stuff.

I'm guessing the ghosting bug has something to do with temporal anti-aliasing. This means that each frame is blended with the last one, while having the sample points slightly shifted. This page has a really good explanation about halfway down. The Xbox One version has been confirmed by the developer to be 4x EQAA.

That NeoGAF thread highlights just how demanding a specific niche of consumers are. There's at least three would be 'experts' arguing heavily with an actual developer over their 'findings'. Seems like nearly every reply the SMS dev makes, he gets about 3 posts making GBS threads on him for his supposed disrespectful tone.

You would think if you cared that much about minor graphic detail, you would just get a PC and not worry about it?

No, it's the opposite: they flash their lights so slower cars know they're coming. To try to stop poo poo like this happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-4nux9FFK0&t=218s

Edit - Watched the video above and it looks less like trying to be a distraction and more him saying "I'm faster why are you holding me up" or an "I'm coming for you hoe". advion fucked around with this message at 15:43 on May 4, 2015 |

I dunno, when you have a dude doing that at the race leader in the last ten minutes of the race? I mean, that seems pretty odd to think "better flash my lights at first place so he knows I'm faster than him". it's gotta be pure distraction/mindtricks at that point

At that level I don't think some flashing headlights are going to bother anyone especially during the day. Either way typically headlights are used to tell someone you're faster and going to be passing.

Like, there was no reason for the guy flashing his lights to be doing so, because he wasn't faster then the other driver. They were both the same race car. The flashing lights is used in the World Endurance Championship because there are many different classes of cars, some are significantly more powerful and faster and so the flashing lights are used to signal to the slower cars to get out of the way. This has been an issue in the past though because the slower cars tend to also be piloted by far more inexperienced drivers, and attempting to let someone pass at over 200mph is a lot more tricky then it looks.

Went from Formula Rookie to GT3 at the end of my last career season. Looking forward to getting into the endurance race series at the end of my gt3 season. Then LP1 after that to finish the zero to hero goal.

Wonder if that'll impact GMG timing or if us going the cheap route will be waiting till late Thursday/early Friday. Steam shows me the 7th for release.

The pedals on my wheel broke today. I was braking at Watkins Glen when the brake pedal snapped clean off. I don't have high hopes about Thrustmaster replacing it.

That sucks, Cheesetriangles. At least the game is pretty good with a controller though? (Just tried it for the first time, quite nice). Okay, when did Sakkito go from Suzuka to "not Suzuka"? I remember it being a pretty accurate reproduction, but now it's all different? *After turn 2, Suzuka would go left, but Sakkito goes right. The S Curves do not feel nearly as aggressive *Turn 11 (hairpin) is no longer there, and is a sweeping uphill left. It's a cool corner, but I liked the Turn 11 hairpin alot.  *The distance between Turns 13 and 14 (Spoon) feels a good distance shorter. *Casino Triangle at 16 and 17 is just gone. There's what used to be the chicane, but you blow straight past it. Why did they change it? Suzuka was awesome. Even though they've made a pretty nice circuit, it feels pretty off to me thanks to the hundreds (probably thousands) of laps I've done of the Suzuka circuit in Forza and PC sims. e: Ah, they had to change it because they could not get a license in time, so made enough changes so they would not get sued. e2: Still got access to my copy. Here's hoping? Falken fucked around with this message at 09:53 on May 5, 2015 |

Yeah I turned ABS/Traction Control/whatever the third one is on and am playing with a 360 pad. It controls real nicely if you count insanely easy to the point of being trivial as nicely. With all those assists I can bomb around any track at top speed with no care in the world. Tapping the brakes in a corner in a Formula car with my wheel and all assists off could send me spinning and into a wall and dead. With the 360 controller it doesn't matter what the gently caress I do. Took a lot of the fun out of the game for me personally.

I'm in the same position car wise, I don't drive irl (I have a learner's permit though! woo!) but I've been playing driving games and simulators of a sort since I was 10 years old. Even if this game is intimidating at first with the assists off and stuff, you'll get used to it. I'm a fairly competent driver in most simulators and I even own a wheel. Not a very good one, but it does the job.

I was having a mad over reaction to my pedals breaking. I was real upset over it and wanted to take out my frustrations somehow. I really don't expect Thrustmaster to do anything and I can't afford a new wheel.

How old are the pedals? It could be a manufacturing defect.

3+ years. I should be able to just get the pedals there is a set on ebay for a decent price. Just waiting to see what thrustmaster says before buying them.
