The fact that we have to do this to start a "new game" is truly pathetic.
...in a way that skirts gambling definition, in sense that there's no way to pay for the tickets directly.
Which is why I just named it "lootboxes", regardless of how they work.
So you say these „lootboxes“ are even worse because you Can’t buy them?
Just a few...
I'd wager most people are not experiencing crashes either. It's a thing, it happens to any game from pretty much any developer.
That's the state of the industry for ya. Either the AAA games are graphically amazing and suck or graphically amazing and good/decent. It used to be that AAA titles were all good games for the most part, regardless of graphical fidelity. Now we have even AAA titles that aren't worth the nameplate. Ie 2042, 2077, the list goes on. Biggest dirtbags in the industry taking away consumer dollars in return for terribly unfinished games
Project CARS 1 used an entire game engine (madness engine) that was developed for need for speed shift/ Shift 2 (SMS being a studio that was under EA funding and control for both games) and was crowd funded, as all their games are. That's a bit of a stretch to call an indie title with no help or direction in the industry...
Maybe our definitions of indie differ. I consider PC1 indie since it wasn't exactly a big name title by a big name studio. They may have used crowd funding and technology they acquired from their time at EA, but is that any different than other indie titles that use crowd funding and middle ware like havok physics or better yet devs that create their title using engines such as Unreal Engine? Not sure every title that can be considered 'indie' needs to make everything from nothing.
Kind of. AAA titles have all the resources and budget in the world, which is why those games typically costed more than other games, because they were of higher quality and set out to make better games than the rest. Key word, were. Guess I'm one of the few that still holds AAA to the standard it should be held to. You're paying for it, might as well demand you get the game that it should be.
Yeah but those are problems related to the game itself. I just named the negative aspects that exist ACROSS the gaming industry that give games a bad rep. And GT7 has pretty much all of them. Which is a feat on it's own... A very negative one at that.
In the grand scheme of gaming it wasn't really a big name though. You ask someone on the street if they have heard of Project Cars and chances are likely that they'll say no, but you ask them if they've heard of GTA, NFS, and Elder scrolls and they will most likely say yes to those titles. PC may be a big name amongst racing fans but that's only because people in the niche are more likely to be paying attention to any developments in their niche. Outside of racing fans PC1 wasn't very known title. So I still am in belief that itcan be considered 'indie'.
I am not in favor of abandonment for games. One thing I do like about GT7 is the support it has and likely will continue to get. Personally never cared for Ian, he always came off as cocky, but putting that aside, I have enjoyed his games. PC3 is one of the funnest racing games I have played as of late, but I would certainly agree that it was abandoned too early.
I don't think this is going to happen... Probably not legal either. They will probably make the game offline and just ignore it completely by not doing any updates to it whatsoever.
I find it fun and good enough for what it is. It has good variety of cars and tracks and it has engaging AI with difficulty settings that actually matter. The career is a mixed bag for me personally, but it's easy to set up a fun custom race and the cars seem balanced in terms of performance. I'd give a four star rating. Not the best but definitely not the worst racing game.
I don't think that's a guarantee. But good observation
I'm afraid of getting PCARS3, mainly due to owning PCARS2 and not playing it as much as I thought I would. If a game has no strict ways to progress I am less likely to progress. That was the problem I had with PCARS2. So many options all unlocked, no reward for completing anything, so why play the game now when I can later? Therefore I never played the game and now I can't because the online playerbase for it on ps4 is dead. bit of a waste. I'm a fairly patient gamer, only ever buying on sale so whatever Ian makes better be interesting, I don't usually like supporting business types
