SimRacing General: successor to Forza/Gran Turismo/Racing thread - Games

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51380912]Midtown Madness 3 was a crazy fun game but I have a feeling that some of the stuff in that game wouldn't be kosher in politically correct 2016 This is a taxi mission where you pick up two scandinavians in the taxi: [t]http://i.imgur.com/fSSGwst.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Just looking at how crazy and silly MM3 is you'd never guess that the devs would eventually go on to make Battlefield 1 :v:

So, what are the opinions for the lastest NFS? It looks pretty okay for me

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;51382716]Damn, i love this car so much. This one and the AE86[/QUOTE] So stoked we have proper wide body kits now. Rocket Bunny & Liberty Walk! <3

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;51382803]So, what are the opinions for the lastest NFS? It looks pretty okay for me[/QUOTE] Customisation is good but the driving physics are the worst in human history. For me it's a game you only buy If it's heavily discounted.

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;51382803]So, what are the opinions for the lastest NFS? It looks pretty okay for me[/QUOTE] NFS No Limits, the mobile game, or NFS 2015, the PC/console game? I wasn't a fan of either. No Limits feels like an on-rails game, which is funny because most mobile racing games are already too-simple. I'd steer clear of NFS 2015. Sure, the graphics are amazing, and I honestly can't tell if they used real actors or computer graphics for the cut scenes. But the narrative, characters and Monster product placement are absolutely cringeworthy. The car selection is incredibly bland (just your generic sports cars, and they don't even have a decent number of them), and the car customisation is laughable compared to previous NFS titles. The game gets boring fast and, worst of all, the handling model is complete garbage; it's incredibly vague. If you have a PS4, I'd absolutely get DriveClub and its season pass instead (so much content, holy shit), or if you're playing on XB1 or PC, I'd get Forza Horizon 3 instead (but do be warned: it can get boring fast).

Oh man the screens are massive on those ones, we get the tiny budget screens at the arcade near my house

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;51382803]So, what are the opinions for the lastest NFS? It looks pretty okay for me[/QUOTE] I think there still is a 'demo' running where you can play the full game for a couple of hours, for free.

[QUOTE=Animosus;51384608]Oh man the screens are massive on those ones, we get the tiny budget screens at the arcade near my house[/QUOTE] but they're still on 5, not 5dx

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51382718] 8:50, the subtitles vs what the guy actually says :v:[/QUOTE] There's also this subtitle, where the old woman in the taxi missions (who sounds silly enough) says "OOOOH, again, AGAIN" but this is the subtitle: [t]http://i.imgur.com/Kus6hax.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;51382803]So, what are the opinions for the lastest NFS? It looks pretty okay for me[/QUOTE] I'm probably one of the few people around here that really enjoyed it, but do agree the handling model is wonky since they tried to make it "tunable"

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;51384825]but they're still on 5, not 5dx[/QUOTE] No, we've got 5DX now

[QUOTE=Animosus;51385738]No, we've got 5DX now[/QUOTE] it's about the american version, it will take some time for them

There's often posts in this thread about our favourite driving game soundtracks, so this seems like a good place to post this According to Rom di Prisco, Saki Kaskas,who did a lot of the music for the classic Need for Speed games has passed away. [url]https://www.facebook.com/rdiprisco/posts/1281980645156581[/url] He made some really incredible music that I still listen to almost 2 decades on. One of his most well known songs: [video=youtube;tuOOuarA7xA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuOOuarA7xA[/video]

Both brilliant artists. RIP Saki. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiiPXuW5jOY[/media]

2016 is a motherfucker of a year. Let us all remember this banger and the man responsible for it; [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlmadn-pIuk[/media]

How do you find your screenshots in FH3 on Xbox One to post on this thread? I want to join the POTW as well.

Welp, seems the horizon 3 devs really disslikes painting your ventura white and writing "free candy" on it. No sharing designs for me for a week it seems.

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;51391246]Wait, what?[/QUOTE] EA/Origin Access most likely.

Did the latest update add anything noteworth or was it just more bugfix type stuff?

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;51391866]Did the latest update add anything noteworth or was it just more bugfix type stuff?[/QUOTE] no patch notes and people are reporting performance issues on both xbox and pc

i had no problems on pc.

It kept freezing for me after the start menu, then suddenly it worked.

[QUOTE=Taggart;51388985]2016 is a motherfucker of a year. Let us all remember this banger and the man responsible for it; [/QUOTE] I think the NFS3 soundtrack works better in the context of gameplay, since that game had dynamic music (which I love and wish more games did nowadays). [video=youtube;JFFhpw43lM4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFFhpw43lM4[/video]

Rather unfortunate that it's not actually dynamic in that clip though. Also good lord I forgot how terrible the PC UI was. PSX version of the game in general is vastly superior, aside from an inability to play as the police (instead we got the NPC Interceptors and their [url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8697486/nfs3_interceptorsirenloop_repeat.wav]unique and somewhat uncomfortable[/url] sirens, not to mention the banging bronze/gold Diablo interceptor).

Different parts of the song play depending on what part of the track you're on. There's other factors too, like what lap it is, what position you're in, how fast you're going, etc.
