Real hurthling! posted:Most games with real cars dont have great car damage cause the manufacturer doesnt like it The Forza Motorsport games on 360 had really solid damage models, but something definitely changed with the generation following because they toned down visual damage a lot. After playing Gran Turismo for so long I was really impressed with how badly cars could get busted up when I played Forza 2. Doctor Nutt posted:The licensing problems in these games has more to do with the cars than the music tbh, especially for the mainline series. Did anyone ever find out what the deal with Toyota was? After EA finally lost the Porsche license I thought that was the last we'd see of that kind of thing. Speaking of, for the person who likes crashing cars also check out Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered it's really good and basically a cross between Forza Horizon and Burnout.

Fly Ricky posted:It could be an amazing game if they polished it up. But I think it’s from a pretty small team and I doubt they’ll be able to overhaul so many things. It makes me so sad cause the game is drat gorgeous and "Moebius, the roadtrip" is 100% my jam but the audio bug I encountered by itself is like a whole point off on a games score

Sudden Loud Noise posted:I booted up Horizon 4 again, and turns out that game feels great, looks great, has great cars. The music hasn’t held up that well though (although if I recall I wasn’t a huge fan of the track selection even when it came out.) I noticed races were much easier to win when driving my stock '85 Ford Escort instead of a high performance sports car.

speaking of TVs... My buddy who is bad at money just bought an LG I think it's an A1 OLED and it looks... wow. So my wife sees this tv and goes, "we need a bigger tv in the family room". So now she has me shopping for TVs in the 75" range. What should I be looking towards that's going to look great, but at the same time I really don't want to spend the $4k he spent.

Laserface posted:Fh4 is an overwhelming game to try and jump into. There's like 4 menus before you even get to your car and it really just needs a "shut up and drive" mode that doesn't harass you with all the seasonal and event poo poo. It's a huge turn off to the best way to play the game. On the flip side, that first 20 minutes of FH4 is loving incredible, and an experience I wish I could have over fresh again

Barudak posted:The cars in Forza Horizon can get wild and yes you could drive the Warthog And of course there is some tuning and a metric gently caress TON of cars to collect if that's your thing... but totally accessible for those of us that it's not their thing. As a complete non-racer type, FH4 quickly became my most played Xbox game (followed by FH3). It's just so fun and relaxing. Also each game typically has an even wilder DLC tie-in (Lego in FH4 and Hot Wheels in FH3) And FH5's Game Labs mode looks like it's basically "create your own wild DLC" Especially at the very end when you get a glimpse behind the truck and see this insane physically impossible sky-high spiraling track.

I guess it matters to someone but it still seems wild that car companies are strangely self conscious about their cars looking wrecked. Also all I want are strangely pedestrian cars. Give me some Toyota Corollas and Ford Explorers!

The other great thing in Forza Horizon 4 is dressing your character up in the dumbest clothes imaginable and having them do dance moves on top of historically important sites. Any game that has my wife roll her eyes at my character doing the running man on top of a castle in a shiny silver miniskirt with duck boots, groucho marx glasses with a moustache and a gold top hat is a good game.

If you’re trying to sell somebody a major purchase, you probably want to keep negative imagery to a minimum. Still silly though.

Would the games really be worse if there was a random chance that Ferraris on the starting grid would burst into flames and explode when the race starts?

It’s a shame Ford won’t acknowledge the existence of the Pinto. I’m positive Turn 10 would put it in; they have a wide range of janky cars you’d never expect or want to see in a racing game. edit: they’ve got a Delorean! That’s a car I’d never expect to see but actually want. Fly Ricky fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Jun 15, 2021 |

Any time a player purchases a DeLorean and enters the car there's a 90% chance the electronics fail and they're trapped inside the vehicle for the remainder of their playtime. Scavenging pinata drops becomes the only means of survival

Little bummed Legend of Mana isn't on the Xbox. What's the deal with stuff being on like PS5 and PC but not making it over to the Xbox? Is it like a weird non-compete but PC doesn't seem like a console threat?

Is it like a weird non-compete but PC doesn't seem like a console threat? PC also isn't hugely popular IIRC, being traditionally the realm of indie devs selling burned CD-Rs of their work at comic conventions and/or outright porn games, but things like the ability to reach an international audience via Steam and the whole thing about not having to pay for devkits has improved matters.

Is it like a weird non-compete but PC doesn't seem like a console threat? In some cases there's a non-compete, but Xbox is also the least popular of the big three consoles, and this is especially true in places like Japan so Japanese devs don't typically release stuff on Xbox unless they're expecting to sell a ton of units in the US. Mind you that's over-simplified and there are weird dynamics at play now with things like Game Pass and the fact that Sony's been de-prioritizing indie titles if they're not at household name levels, but for smaller scale releases especially if they need to sell well outside of the US they will drop Xbox first if they drop anything. The remastered Ace Attorney Trilogy released on PC, PlayStation, Switch and Xbox but didn't sell well on Xbox so now they're not releasing the Great Ace Attorney on there (but are still releasing on PS4/Switch/PC).

Is it like a weird non-compete but PC doesn't seem like a console threat? To add to what everyone said, it just isn't that the console performs poorly in Japan, but that Japanese style games sell terrible on it in the West. For example Ace Attorney Trilogy did well on Switch and PC and well enough on PS4, but sold only like a couple thousand copies on the Xbox One. Sure that's just one example but there are plenty like it. It's no secret that each platform userbase has a specific taste, and while things are more converged than ever before there are still some blindspots. By and large the Xbox appeals to people with a very "American" taste and while that means major properties like Dragon Ball or Tekken can appeal to them, stuff like Kill La Kill and Undernight won't.

I'm no TV expert but if you're thinking big OLED it's probably going to be up there in that price range. You'll want to make sure you have HDMI 2.1 which should be pretty standard on most new TVs and allows 4k @ 120fps.

I enjoyed the demo, but it is pretty rough in places. I figured out how to break out of the demo area and get the real bike, so I messed around with it long enough to get more accustomed with the controls. It's good enough for me. The real bike definitely feels better too, though it still can be wonky on uneven terrain. Even if I could give it nothing else for praise, it is almost impossible to take a bad screenshot of that game. Holy poo poo. Spoilers obviously: https://steamcommunity.com/id/gynosaur/screenshots/

I would have to move my Xbox Series X out there though. Does anyone have / play on one of those nanocell tvs or qleds? how do people feel about the difference between the two? Would video only get pissy if i brought my series x and demanded to plug it in?
