every time I see WTCC in the title I forget it's a game and Andy is talking about the real thing

^Why does duckspam forget to post this in the chatbox? 12 million sales is very impressive for this genre. Congrats guys,

Something must've gone wrong there... I'm sure it was Milli's entry that was supposed to win... :think: Nice to see the results validating my reasoning for not looking to compete, nothing was going to beat that shot. Congrats Loek.

You say that as if people browse this website on their Xbox. Discord can be installed on non-gaming PCs and mobile devices. RIP forum

That's a very strange and non-descriptive error message. Perhaps uninstalling and reinstalling would help? Or if using Steam, right click the game and verify the cache.

I have plenty of respect for all 3 titles and more besides. I've heard great things about the physics and AI of rF2. The actual development for the software as a whole however seems to be going at a snails pace, as if by the time they're ready to leave beta we might be up to DirectX 13. AC gets a whole lot immersive nuances across very nicely, but modders who have dug beneath the surface claim that while stock cars do indeed feel nice, things aren't really being simulated (or calculated, I suppose), such that the end goal is more important than the method of achievement. Which in many respects is true. It's hard to know where they'll be in a few years after selling to new owners and struggling to meet expectations for the console versions. Hopefully they have an amazing sequel in a couple of years. Project CARS is an interesting one. The WMD platform both made pC the game everyone loves to hate, but it also directed a whole lot of profit directly into the development budget for a sequel, rather than mostly being diverted to publishers. So what we have now is a development studio with good history in terms of classic sims and they also have both the ambition and financial freedom to deliver something compelling. Interestingly, many oogle over GTR2 but never much is spoken of GTR1... perhaps history will repeat? At least on PC we've never been locked to one dominant franchise, so it's a win-win-win-win-win-win-win-win-win-win-win-win-win for us :)

Last week I might have agreed with you, but I did a couple of races on Monday night with the gamepad and I have to admit it really is very different, not like any sim I've played before. The RWD car I chose easily drifts and can be controlled right on the edge and a fair bit beyond. It's almost Forza-esque, but just not as crazy, and any input filtering was much more subtle. I reckon a few will be surprised this time around - I certainly was.

So they've just put a blue tinge filter over the top and called it a day??? It still looks like a very old game :confused: I don't mind that in itself of course, but it doesn't seem to add up to all the marketing hoo-hah but rather seems like something that should be one line of 50 in some patch notes.

:lol:

Interesting little story here from SMS and McLaren at some recent exhibition SMS have previously mentioned that as part of their car license negotiations, they request the time of chief test drivers from the various manufacturers to help ensure an accurate simulation, which from the video above at least, seems to be a worthwhile endeavour. What do you guys think of this - are you genuinely excited/intrigued/mildly interested or do you think it's just marketing hype?

I have the right to remain silent (not vote) but one is head and shoulders above the rest - figuratively and literally - and it is the only one I'm voting for. :)

No issues on this morning's catch up with new posts

as much as I admire the theme it's pointless trying to compete with the stellar shots above

Middle clicked two links in chatbox just now One bad request for this thread, and this for the first time I'll try logging out and back in.

I just clicked a link back to this in the chatbox archive and got this Deleted everything between 7 and # from the URL and hit enter to continue Edited that last line and hit save again... --- Post Updated --- Another one, but this time I lost my edit (additional words) and it was asking about deleting the post??? --- Post Updated --- Another Bad Request when navigating to #Mentions

A road allowing you to drive up to Blizzard Mountain would be nice...

Strange little error here when editing a post to add the quote and reply Just ignored the prompt and clicked Save again and it worked. Also the chatbox keeps becoming inactive (logged out) very quickly for the last few weeks.

For some reason it reminds me of one of those Midtown Madness 2 mod maps with narrow roads all over the sky. I guess these devs figured it worked for GTA5. Except that I purchased the expansion pass last week. :) I'll still give it a shot - looks better than the Monster Truck thingo in The Crew.

Well I guess now we find out which members here are still 8 years old inside (Hassan) :lol: Unable to watch the video yet but I'll just pretend it's Trackmania but with Forza physics???

I didn't miss it, but the chatbox did. My request still stands. Agreed super I didn't mean 'celebrities' with that - just random guys who aren't too shy to form coherent sentences. :)

Agreed, especially when most 'aliens' in sim racing seem to be devoid of any kind of interesting personality or charisma. If I'm going to watch a sim race it's gotta have open mics and some fun banter going on, even at the cost of less amazing driving skills (although that's still important obviously). Would be ace if the thread title made it clearer that this is a game or eSport.

No idea what to mod, but would you consider sharing some video footage of your best attempts, just in case there is a way to help improve and then enjoy the game more? iirc some of those later races became more difficult to win as well.

I've noticed a game developer studio contribute as well.
