I know I’m possibly in for a quite virtual beat down with this touchy subject, but I have to know.... *THE FOLLOWING INCLUDES MY OPINIONS*
So after going through the threads relating to the standard cars, it got me thinking, what about the tracks? You see the track environment and trackside elements much, much more than the cars. I’ve read comments over a long period of time mentioning things like outdated, poor textures, 2D and so on. I’m not talking about the accuracy of for example the time period of the 1980’s versions of Brands Hatch and Monza. Immersion (that old time feeling) is missing from those. I’m talking about the overall location/track representation.
I’m no professional, but compare Nurburgring or Circuit de la Sarthe to say Grand Valley, Trial Mountain or Deep Forest Raceway. Really? Even Laguna Seca IN MY OPINION isn’t “premium”, comparable to the cars exterior model. Heck none of those even have Day/Night transition or at the very least Weather Changes (Rain/Fog), comparable to cars detailed interiors. Eiger Nordwand still says “2006” on the Start/Finish banner. Does that go also? I mean that’s EONS ago, we can’t have that!! Maybe it’s a good thing they don’t being back many last generation tracks like Midfield or Seattle. It’s too bad though.
I’m guessing those who feel the standard cars have to go, including the closest thing we have to Porsche being RUF or the Formula Gran Turismo and vast array of formula cars it races against (oh wait), would also like to see these outdated, low quality tracks removed. I have my opinions on the cars and a compromise, but that’s not the topic at hand here. My point is standards are standards across the board, cars AND tracks. That goes for those old outdated racing wheels also. You know, the Logitech Driving Force GT, G25, G27. It’s all about 2014 and the future, so get your wallets out.
I want to be clear, I’m not saying I want a Playstation 4 game to look like it’s from 1999. But some members on here make the standard cars seem like they’re from 1979. In this instance, something is better than nothing. I’m not talking about 10+ variations of the same car, but not having the whole Porsche I mean RUF dealership because of their... looks just as an example. I feel the same with the tracks. Yes, I’d like to see them touched up, better yet made “Nurburgring” like quality or heck even better for the PS4, just like the cars. So my vote is NO. Like the appropriate cars, I’d like to see the tracks return also.
The poll is simple, you see the question and straight forward answers, no games or BS. No one is forcing you to contribute or vote. Please leave the complaining and silly comments elsewhere. Reasonable conversation and opinions are very much welcome and appreciated. Thanks.
