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

man i feel strange after playing forza, probably i'm driving with full assists maybe i need more to get used to the driving

[QUOTE=TheAdmiester;51619806][t]http://i.imgur.com/blRTmBL.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Next time you should try a lower shutter speed setting; too high makes the car stick out too much I reckon.

In FM6 I have all of them off, but in FH3 I only have steering set to normal rather than simulation, with everything else off. ABS on will severely increase your braking distance, traction control limits acceleration too much (as does automatic shifting - especially in cars with fewer gears), and stability control will slow you down too much when going through corners.

Enjoy this Datsun [t]https://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=16662118&full=true[/t] Fun fact: Aside from a slightly different body kit, that is pretty much my dad's converted 260Z; it's the exact same pearlescent colour, it has a roll cage and fat rear tyres (was used for drag racing) and had a V8 dropped under the bonnet - a 5.7L Chrysler Mopar, unfortunately all I could V8 swap it to in FH3 was a 6.2L Chevrolet LS. I wish I had pictures to share.

Just saw the fiest bits of gt sport. As gutless and bland as ever. Still sounds like ass, still hear the spectators vuvuzela horn things more than the cars, still seems to handle like unenthusiastic rail driven hot wheels.

the game is now playable, because we can finally shuffle groove music songs [t]http://i.imgur.com/xRpKzIU.png[/t]

Wait, is the patch out for PC? I still can't get the rockstar cars.

[QUOTE=dustyjo;51622856]Wait, is the patch out for PC? I still can't get the rockstar cars.[/QUOTE] nope, i can only play on xbox one

[QUOTE=dustyjo;51622856]Wait, is the patch out for PC? I still can't get the rockstar cars.[/QUOTE] Nope, they pulled the dev build last night and have still yet to replace it. Unless you got the build, your PC version is the same as it was when Blizzard mountain released.

As a fan of the Gran Turismo series ever since GT2, I'm not interested in an eSports spin-off which is lacking in so many ways compared to similar games. Eg compared to Project CARS: - From what we've seen, PCARS still has better physics and handling models - Sounds in GTS are better than previous GT games, but still awful compared to every other game - GTS won't have dynamic time and weather, while PCARS and previous GT games already have it - Variety of cars is lacking compared to PCARS, which is already bland enough All I want from a Gran Turismo game on PS4 is a simcade game with a huge selection of cars, tracks and events to play with. Anecdotal but I cannot think of a single person who is actually interested in what GT Sport has to offer, especially considering that other games, which have already been out for years, are better in almost every way.

that one thing i like from gran turismo is their racing modifications even gtsport got their own racing version of Alfa 4C and Jag F-Type

I still regret getting project CARS even though I've made profit off it [editline]4th January 2017[/editline] Oh shit, I didn't even realize I got another 20 eurobux from them last month [img]https://puu.sh/tbnlD/1b1b2aa104.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;51623725]that one thing i like from gran turismo is their racing modifications even gtsport got their own racing version of Alfa 4C and Jag F-Type[/QUOTE] Yeah we used to have racing modifications back in GT1 and 2 You could modify just about any road going car into a racing car with a livery and stuff.

Can't even update Horizon 3 because Windows Store wont even open, hahaha great.

[QUOTE=Nerfmaster000;51596357]Does anyone here remember the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series? Otherwise also known as Shutokou Battle or Import Tuner Challenge for the 360. A link to a countdown was posted on their official Twitter yesterday. [URL="http://www.sb-x.jp/"]http://www.sb-x.jp/[/URL][/QUOTE] it's a mobile game :'(

[QUOTE=Maximum Mod;51626248]it's a mobile game :'([/QUOTE] Darn, well it's somewhat expected though. Since ITC's commercial failure in 2006 (due to it being only on the 360, a console that sold very poorly it Japan), Genki weren't able to continue their normal operation and has since been doing small projects and stuff. I hope that Genki will be able to use the money from the mobile game to fund development for an actual console game in the future.

[QUOTE=dustyjo;51626885]Man this game looks so fucking cool, I just wish that there was an arcade around here that had it. please take my money namco[/QUOTE] i thought you guys got 3dx+ machines around

[QUOTE=Animosus;51620776]Please be an XR6 Turbo, it's really weird they didn't add it into the base game. Still wanting a VL turbo though :c[/QUOTE] Oh yeah, bad news son. I've misread the leaked cars list. So the two Falcons and the Commodore are actually the V8 Supercars already in the game, not yet-to-be-released cars. I know it's funny to comment on their internal things, but the devs really should make the names of the cars in their database actually consistent. But they should also do that in-game too. FM6 and FH3 are so inconsistent with the naming conventions for cars. Eg let's look at some Australian Fords: Here they are as in FH3: - Ford #55 Supercheap Falcon FG X - Ford Falcon GT F 351 - Ford Falcon XR8 - Ford FPV Limited Edition Pursuit Ute - Ford Falcon XA GT-HO - Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III - Ford Falcon XR GT When they would be more-appropriate as (following actual naming conventions): - #55 Supercheap Auto Ford FG X Falcon - FPV FG GT F 351 - Ford FG X Falcon XR8 - FPV FG Pursuit Limited Edition - Ford XA Falcon GTHO Phase IV - Ford XY Falcon GTHO Phase III - Ford XR Falcon GT Hell, the game already features the year the car was made right next to its name, so the FG X, FG, XA, XY and XR monikers are redundant. In that case, they would be: - #55 Supercheap Auto Ford Falcon - FPV GT F 351 - Ford Falcon XR8 - FPV Pursuit Limited Edition - Ford Falcon GTHO Phase IV - Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III - Ford Falcon GT My biggest problem is with the GT F; it's neither a Ford nor a Falcon. Also, the Pursuit in-game would read out as 'Ford Ford Performance Vehicles Limited Edition Pursuit Ute'. Both it and the Pursuit should be listed under the FPV manufacturer rather than Ford - like how the game already has both Holden and HSV.

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;51628568]i thought you guys got 3dx+ machines around[/QUOTE] never seen one in my life and there's not a single one in my state according to a listing of machines I found

real talk arcade machines are dead in the us unless you live in a big big city can't even find any weeaboo japanese rhythm arcade machines near me :'(

Arcades just don't exist in the US because you can just play on your Xbox/Playstation/PC at home. I'm not really sure why they're such a thing over there.

If you thought I was done sharing pics of me Datsun [t]https://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=16666387&full=true[/t] [t]https://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=16667481&full=true[/t] [i]You were WRONG[/i] [editline]6th January 2017[/editline] Also, I shown my dad those screenshots of the Datsun. He was very impressed; he said the front bumper and lip spoiler were actually the exact same as on his Datsun, and that he actually had the same wheel arches until he took them off a long time ago. The colour is almost a perfect match, but mine is just a tad too dark. He wasn't too happy that I couldn't V8 swap it with a Chrysler Mopar 340 (like in his) or even a Nissan V8 though haha, but a GM LS is fine. The Datsun is at where my brother is living at the moment, I might see if he can pop into the shed and take a few pictures of it or if he already has a picture.
