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

[Freezorg]

There's a new game coming out called Danger Zone which is basically Burnout's Crash Mode, only an entire game based around that. Same devs too, allegadly. [url]http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-04-26-the-creators-of-burnout-are-making-a-crash-mode-spiritual-successor-called-danger-zone[/url]

So is FH3 worth picking up now?

I've been eyeing it up for a while but hearing about the performance issues the PC version had made me stray away from it.

[ulvemann43]

Not quite true, my pc isn't good at all by modern standards and i run it from 70-40fps which works fine.

Hot Wheels expansion does not include the Deora or Deora II. Instant shit.

I'm really glad to see there's a bit more of a focus on the "beginner" level cars like the 205 GTi we've seen previously and the new Mitsubishi Colt (?) and Opel Adam. Sometimes the best moments come from pushing those cars to their limits, and it's the only real thing this series was lacking IMO.

The Hot Wheels expansion for FH3 actually looks pretty damn good, I had no idea that they would do something like that. Kinda reminds me of the races in GTA Online though.

I always forget about this game and think it's something related to BeamNG when I hear it mentioned.

Best evo. I have one in both GT4 and FH3 and they reliably win races

[QUOTE=Jordax;52153134]

I would be up for that as long it doesn't conflict with the Russian Grand Prix this weekend.[/QUOTE]
Would be good. And fuck I forgot about that.

Gonna host Assetto stuff [b]Monday 12:00 gmt[/b] then. Usual stuff (cars and shit). Maybe some mod tracks and whatnot will see how it goes.

well actually we're meant to, but we're taking another day off instead so we get a four day weekend, so nah.

[editline]29th April 2017[/editline]

This looks like a lot of fun. Codies are going to have a run for their money with pCARS 2 having this as well as a strong lineup of other racing disciplines.

There's something very gran turismo-y in the way the car bounces up and down on the soft dirt sections.

Looks like car physics will once again be crap.

Does anyone knows why Forza 6: Apex keep crashing on every track with rain?
I can play Forza Horizon 3 on this same PC with no issues but for some reason this game just keep crashing even though people say it's a better port.

[the rifleman]

I don't know if you guys are watching but RaceRoom just hosted the first race of the first esport Mercedes DMT championship. It was pretty exciting, they have race stewards, damage on, qualy, etc. Pascal Werlhein is also racing.

i've never heard of this game before but it looks alright, what's it like?

Haven't played it at all myself, but during the race it was very smooth. It looked alright just like real racing. As for how it handles I wouldn't know. They did have DRS and all that stuff...and damage model.

[Cyteless]

Raceroom has really nice handling. You should download it to try out the free fictitious GT car they have. Really nice sounds, really comfortable handling to the cars. I bought the Formula US (IndyCar) pack and the US track pack and I've been having a lot of fun with it. Just wish they'd be able to get the BTCC license, since they already have a touring class in WTCC. BTCC seems to be such a hard license for game devs to get their hands on.

[Zombii]

does it have vr support?

[editline]7th May 2017[/editline]

it does indeed. huh. i guess i'll give it a try before i go for my next iracing session.

Weren't a few BTCC cars licenced for Forza 6? The Civic, S3, A Class, 125i and Avensis were present, not sure what else it might be missing.

Mmm, I haven't followed Forza since the 2nd game. I'm really pining for a TOCA2 replacement with the current NGTC spec cars, especially with the huge grid of cars there are for this season.

Toca 2 has a very special place in my heart. It was the first games we had on the PS1. The damage model was amazing at the time, the tracks were good, a good number of cars on the track at a time, fun bonus cars, commentary and menu narration from Tiff Needell (who presented on Top Gear at the time)

We spent hours playing cops and robbers and hide and seek in splitscreen on the tracks that had the different layouts blocked with only cones and tracks like Loch Ranoch and the test track.

The main menu music was a nice E-Z Rollers number, which I actually have on 12" somewhere

I'd take a ToCA 2 remaster in a heartbeat

btw the intro movie's music is also made by EZ Rollers, but you'll hear it more often in Rollcage
