GentlemanofLeisure posted:OK so I've been looking at where to order the game and I'm a bit confused, even after looking at the spergy posts on the FM forum by ManteoMax. Well, the main benefit of the ULTIMATE (DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERYTHING) Edition is the Early-access by a week which kind of puts it out of retail's realm - but yes. Preorder bonuses are retarded, and I definitely bought multiple copies of Forza 2 and 3 and 4 to ensure I got the most complete set of cars I never raced possible (while selling the extra copies at a loss.)

MattD1zzl3 posted:I dont like ahead/behind indicators. I think people should have to actually look to see if a car is catching them as a gameplay mechanism. With the occasional radio call from the pit lane with split times, or even a dynamic pit board. The game should be locked in cockpit mode only, is what you're saying. In which case the proximity meters are ONLY used to tell that some dumb gently caress is trying to pass you on a corner that has no passing opportunities and he's 1 meter away from your right rear door trying to dive down the inside through your blind spot. Which is their only use now, no one uses them to avoid having to look behind them or whatever this story is.

I only race in cockpit mode so I'm acutely aware of the mirror because it's the only real method of situational awareness + the distance meter if you're using a wheel, because there is no thumbstick look functionality on wheels. If you're just saying you don't like the boring numbers rather than something a bit more in-character (arrows or whatever) well, that's like, your opinion man, and you're welcome to it because I'm an advocate of immersion. But Generic Arrow pointing left doesn't convey 'hey there's a car 3 feet away from you don't do anything weird' quite as immediately as "Distance to enemy Jaguar: 1 meter"

Yeah, the issue with flags is in real life they're deployed at the judgement of someone who can actually use a brain, in games they're at the mercy of being deployed when X, Y, and sometimes Z but never Q conditions are invoked and like all game logic systems, rely on development that usually involves "outside-the-box" thinking - such as - the sticky ground on some tracks to prevent cheaters from cutting corners. But then you get massive amounts of idiots crying that sticky ground is soooooooooooooooo unrealistic and omg it's disgusting and casual!!!! as they crash into barriers at 220 mph and then drive away (which curiously almost never gets brought up in the sooo unrealistic griping.) They'd say the same thing about any flag system because it would be unfair when it happens to them and unfair when it DOESN'T happen to everyone else. If there was a flag system like Dizzle mentioned, guaranteed the 3rd person controller drivers who never drive anything but the cheateriest cars would use it to grief everyone else. This is how vidjagames work.

Cubey posted:Sticky grass is fine in concept, it's more that in certain places it's terrible. Dumping one half of one wheel onto the grass at Indianapolis shouldn't send you from 200 to 40 in less than 2 seconds. In places where it's there to prevent people from cutting chicanes it's perfectly acceptable, though also very inconsistent (ie you can cut the chicane at Suzuka and gain a 5+ second advantage no problem). Personally I preferred the dirty lap system from 2 over what it became in 3 and beyond because it allowed corner cutting but it added massive amount of penalty time so did a better job of dissuading off-road excursions as the tradeoff almost never paid off.

If you had a hard time getting credits at any point in Forza 5 you a) Either weren't playing it, the payouts were low but not egregiously so before the economy patch that happened 10 days after release (I earned enough for an F1 car before the patch by.. simply playing the game, with zero repeating anything bullshit for cash) or b) Never heard of Forza Hub where they throw billions of credits at you monthly and have since before the game came out. I did have the VIP bonus all the way through, though. That may be why it didn't bother me at all.

Those fantasy concept cars are the biggest waste of time in game development history aside from the 8 year period where Polyphony simply did nothing at all. I'm completely incapable of giving a single poo poo about imaginary 4700 mph spacecars that will never have any bearing on actual car development.

Yeah, and it's been brutally painful for at least 4 games now to try and limit by year or PI in lobbies or offline races. Have fun spending 6 minutes going down 1 PI at a time until you get to 350, and then you get to do it again down to 370. (or whatever.) They really need to put cars into groups so you can just pick "70's Trans Am" or "50's Classic Roadsters", "D class NO loving PT CRUISERS" etc.

Laserface posted:Can one of the Wheel-spergs explain why you want belt drive over gear drive? Because metal on metal (or more likely at these price points, plastic on plastic) transmitted through a 4" spindle directly into the palms of your hands feels definitely grittier and more notchy, and since the point of a wheel is to replicate reality it feels a lot less like a real car's steering wheel. The belts that the belt-driven ones are using now are kevlar and are essentially stretchless.

Yeah, it's essentially 'Ways to make the game harder for yourself because you're too unimaginative to drive anything but the fastest leaderboard car, ya mook" Things like "Make me start in last place every time" or "turn off rewinds" for extra cash/XP. I think they likened it to being basically the Skulls system in Halo.

30fps is fine in Horizon, because it's not a sim. 60fps in Motorsport is critical and it's the reason Forza is easily the best racing game on any console, because it maintains a 100% locked 60fps at all times, so your physics calculations (the portion where the tires meet the ground) is exactly consistent 100% of the time and is never affected by dipping shitshow frame drops due to overextending the engine to get in EVERY feature instead of just THE ONES THAT WORK. I'm fine with Turn 10 ditching any feature that hurts the 60fps lock. Which is why there's no weather or time of day changes dynamically. 60fps uber alles.

I think you'll find it to be a worthwhile purchase. I loved F5 with a controller, but 6 is going to shine now that my Fanatec setup is here. The 10th is going to be a busy day what with the start of the new NFL season too... anyone know exactly what time the game release is supposed to happen/be available to actually play?

Dr. Faustus posted:Race Summary Never stop taking recap pictures man, you're great at those. Really captures the essence of the action. And the first friend Drivatar that popped into my game was D1zzle, and he promptly slammed his Mazda RX-something into the wall at a high rate of speed while in first place (I'm not kidding, it happened like twice over the course of a few successive races.) If it's random that it's picking Mazdas for Dizzle, that's too bad that it's not tuned to his actual preferences - but I was impressed because it really looked like his style of driving/car choices.

Yeah, there were a lot of bugs with the private race lobby we were running earlier, drivatars missing names, settings resetting to default every time you went into the game options, etc. Luckily they have a bunch of Beta testers who paid extra so I'd be surprised if they don't get that fixed up by the real launch. I also just shared this livery for the Merc 190 Evo with a brushed nickel roof/hood.

GutBomb posted:I swear I'm not working for thrustmaster but I'd say the TX is equally as good as the Fanatec CSR Elite wheel. The brand isn't known for good stuff but this wheel is actually really good. I swear I'm not working for Fanatec but I'd say that the CSW v2 with universal Xbone Hub is a large margin better than the Thrustmaster TX although that is a perfectly fine wheel too. The novelty sized pretend rim was my biggest letdown with the Thrustmaster, but now that I've had some time with it, the CSW v2 is also a lot smoother action in general and feels more like a real car. It's also considerably more expensive. Norns posted:Would it be a step up from my G27 on PC? Everything belt driven is a step up from G25/G27's.

I just ran out of gas from first place on the straightaway of the Nordschleife on lap 5 of a 5 lap race in D class vs Unbeatables, literally a half mile from the finish because it's free play, there's no end of race timer. The AI did not pit because it was never more than 500 feet behind me. No credits, no XP, no affinity

Yeah, I did 4.5 laps of the Nurburgring Full (GP + Nordschliefe) in the Z4 GT3 car before running out, and only 4.8 laps of the Nordschliefe alone in a D class Trueno, which should THEORETICALLY get better gas mileage. Adding the GP track adds 3.2 miles to the length x 4 laps, so the GT3 car did roughly an additional 13 miles before running out of gas. So maybe tank size is modeled and consumption isn't? Who knows. Nothing like doing 10 laps/95 minutes of racing for zero rewards whatsoever

Your car coughs in a very disconcerting manner for 1000 yards before you stumble, run out of gas, lose momentum, and come to rest 50 feet short of the pit lane.
