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

yeah but i'm not sure if that gets you the PC version, I mean it seems like it does since xbone play anywhere, but it seems like all the extras you get with it is xbox only? k seems like im retarded and didnt get the question

[QUOTE=Zotobom;50788473]You can only get the Horizon 3 Ultimate edition as a pre-order right?[/QUOTE] No, you can still buy the ultimate edition after the game releases, but not completely sure about the physical copies. But digital copies will almost certainly be since you can still buy Horizon 2 in Ultimate edition form

[QUOTE=crasherN;50788808]No, you can still buy the ultimate edition after the game releases, but not completely sure about the physical copies.

I was fully set on getting the ultimate edition but then I got a letter from my new school with what specifications my laptop needs to have and now I need to pull a new laptop out of my ass. No pre-order for me then

Hosting another AC trackday this weekend since it's been forever. [del]Tentatively saying Sunday 14:00 GMT again but it may change depending what people can make.[/del] [b]Saturday 14:00 GMT[/b] Either way, it'll be pretty easygoing compared to the last couple. Less retarded mods, more cruises and casual races.

I would like to join one or these fp AC sessions if that's okay with you guys. Although I can't do this Sunday cos I've got to go to a sodding wedding. What mods and content do you normally run? I've only got basic AC at the moment. Also I'm not that good at using the wheel yet :v:

We've done everything from Ladas to F Zeros and spend more time dicking around than anything tbh. [QUOTE=Mr. Agree;50815511]Damn, can't make Sunday.[/QUOTE] What about Saturday?

Forza 6 now has a Nissan R91CP. Fucking HYPED.

[QUOTE=Mr. Agree;50819058]Saturday is good.[/QUOTE] Aight I'm moving it to [b]Saturday 14:00 GMT[/b] then. Gonna leave that as final if nobody objects else this is going to get confusing.

I need someone else on side to force more Brands races in. Best circuit.

Project Cars has the strangest difficulty progression ever. The Renault cup cars are incredibly tricky to drive fast, on the hardest difficulty settings the AI is 2,5+ seconds faster than me. Skip to the UK GT5 championship and I'm leaving them all in the dust, but oversteer correction seems impossible(When countersteering in a slide it does nothing until it suddenly gains grip, rotates again, and then once again loses traction) and braking induces oversteer for whatever reason. Then in an Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 I have no problems whatsoever, braking properly causes understeer and I can correct oversteer without too much of a problem. Is this my fault or are the slower(and FWD) cars just quirky to drive?

[QUOTE=Zombii;50838522]so what are we doing then?[/QUOTE] I'd like to do the Lotus 2-eleven, F1 GTR or DTMs, but bar that it's open to what you guys want tbh. Going easy on planning this time. Expect an obligatory shitbox race at some stage.

[QUOTE=Zombii;50838756]i'm up for p much all of those, are we using discord or steam or any other chat?[/QUOTE] Fuck I forgot to put it in the announcement. Psy has a TS server we piggyback on. Though with the amount of [ANGRY WHEEL NOISES] we make I'm amazed they put up with us. Edit: Psy seems dead so I'm going with the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/FacepunchSimracing]steam group[/url] chat.

We're using ts3.mrredtube.nl as teamspeak server for now.

Forza 6 yes or no? I only ask cause last one I played was Forza 4 and was thinking of grabbing an Xbox One for Forza, Halo, Destiny and such and to use it as a little media console for movies and netflix etc. And I'm sure as hell not touching Gran Turismo again after the shitshow that was Gran Turismo 6. :v:

Other than the best fictional tracks being missing, it's the best Forza by far. Also, it's one of the few games where I'd say the DLC is 100% worth it, especially with some of the race cars they've been putting out for FM6.

But yeah it's really good, I have it on Xbone myself and have been driving like mad. I love the game a lot.

Thanks fella's. Still determined to pick one up tomorrow. The 1TB Elite variant. Was thinking of waiting for the S but doesn't really seem worth it.

Aside from the dumb as hell AI, the only thing that bothers me about Forza 6 is its music. It all sounds like music that belongs in the main menu of a fantasy role-playing game, but it's in this racing game. There's not very much variety in the music that the game has, and the one with the kind of beeping is irritating. [editline]7th August 2016[/editline] Gran Turismo 3 will always have the best soundtrack in a racing game. Even if half of the songs aren't even related to racing at all.

Usually just shut the music off anyway, gotta listen to the engine note to shift.
