How about we try this:

Put your name down here if you play on PC and you are INTERESTED in playing in one of the time slots. This is to gauge how many folks we can get for what time slots - it's not an attendance sign-up sheet!

Basticle I'm assuming you'll head up the American times there? Can you put that in?

I'm figuring I'll start hosting the Asia-compatible slots not this week, but next week, the weekend of the 20th. We can run the same theme that Basticle sets (e.g. Clio Cup) throughout all the time slots. I'll run the time slots in Asia for 4 weeks as best I can to get a good gauge on attendance for the two times.

The Fantastic Fapping Frog

Poison Jam posted:

gently caress you, I wanted that wheel! Have I got you on my friends list? Before I do a google doc (unless some kind soul wants to do that so the guy in massive withdrawals doesn't have to do anything) I wanna find out what cars to use. Formula Gulfs are a blast, M1 Procar is sex on wheels and I like GT3s. The only objection I have is to superkarts, gently caress those things I hate them.

Is there any news on if they'll improve replays with the first patch? I really want to see my battle with dirty frog at Spa last night from his perspective just so I can try to figure out why it was such a surprise for him when I went passed. loving great racing though :D

It was a surprise cos we were haring along the straight at a gazillion miles per hour and you gave me a love tap up the arse. Didn't even loving buy me dinner first.

That was a gently caress up on my part and I really do apologise. I'd much rather lose a race clean than win like a oval office. The surprise part was in sector 2 (watched the replay) where we didn't touch and I thought you'd go around the outside making me look like a chump.

I did just have a weird bug in career. Was doing the M1 Procar championship and after practice at Bathurst I quit out and showed my mate a replay of last night's race around Spa, then when I went back to qualifying, it loaded Spa and wouldn't let me out of the pits. It was a tad confusing to say the least and I seriously can't wait for this patch because I love tinkering with setups and there's just no point right now :(.

I just do quick race weekends every other day or so. It's a perfect way to play the game, get to choose whatever car suits my mood, a track, and pretend I'm a real live racer.

I do leave the dynamic weather off though, there's no point to it if the AI doesn't lose grip in the wet.

Oh right the Porsche DLC came out. PCARS is still cool and good. I'll be playing it for the next 2 years because I highly doubt Forza 6 will offer such a race-based focus.

rant: Yeah, there's no way it will offer a sim racing focus like pcars with qualifying, flag rules, and poo poo. I don't even know how I would feel if it did add that stuff, I like forza's traditional pick up arcade game nature. sometimes I don't feel like guessing which tires or how much fuel is appropriate. I can't pick and choose sides on racing games like everybody else. i have to buy them all and play them all for what they are...in this case the two games are quite different from each other and i wouldn't want to be without either one. forza 5's lovely microtransaction launch was a legitimate lovely thing but it was since patched out. some really good tracks came out for free and our goon races are still fun as heck. With 450 licensed cars in forza 6 and FH2 being such a redeeming game for turn10, im p much already sold on it. of course the bone's reputation and price of entry is so high that most goons shy away and especially nitpick forza now that they don't own/like xbox. it's too bad really

Pcars is just dragging along with the patches right now, however I highly recommend it to all racing fans still.. i already have about 100 hours in it, mostly in goon races which are the real meat of this game for me.

I also bought the car pack once I saw the F1 GTR. can't live without an F1 GTR. I think we should race tonight with our new cars

Ya I just buy every racing game. Racing games are what got me into video games when I was a kid. Forza has a time and a place and so does PCARS. gently caress, I still play Driveclub and will get F1 2015 when it comes out. Theyre all good.

This is currently my biggest hope in videogames, mostly since P-Cars has gotten me into driving that kind of car more and I haven't played an F1 game since F1 2011. Codemasters are somewhat on a roll right now though.

They cant win. If they release pc patches as they're done then the console players (which seems like a sizeable part of the playerbase) gets pissed off, or worse, completely disenfranchised and 6 months after release nearly no one plays the console versions online which is exactly what happened with Payday 2 which had like 25 or 30 updates on pc the first year but ps3 had 2 or 3 and lol 360 had one.

Same. The G27 looks great, but poo poo, that's $200 even for a refurb. My old MS wheel is fine for now, but it's not going to last forever.

How hard is it to say "gently caress off you morons, we submit the patches to Steam, Xbox Live, and PSN at the same time. It's not our fault that the consoles have additional delays, complain to the console makers. You chose the restrictive platform so deal with the consequences."

edit: Also Payday is a terrible example because first-person shooters are objectively better with a keyboard/mouse so the console versions will always be worse to play, where most people playing driving games no matter what the platform will be using gamepads so other than detail/framerate the experience will be similar across the board. There's also the fact that like Valve experienced with TF2 the consoles just aren't set up for games to do rapid hotfix type updates every few days/weeks like Payday does on PC. Without that there's no way to keep parity.

I've worked with a company that did both PC and console games. The problem with bad-mouthing a console's slow certification process is that it sometimes leads to the process being conveniently "delayed".

Now I work with a company that works with the state government and everytime we bug them to process something faster, it takes longer.

Have you read the WMD forums? Dudes get seriously pissed any time Ian Bell makes a semi-witty joke. They're on everyone's case who posts from SMS for any sign of disrespect towards the consumer. WMD is an awful forum for how antagonizing people are to SMS when they're extremely clear on what they can and cannot talk about.

I'm running a 6870 and it's fine. I don't think I've even bothered to look at the video settings, maybe I should do that.

But no framerate issues on default settings at least.
