In game saves when?

[moetec]

When is this update coming? I seriously cannot be stuffed racing for 9 hours straight yet alone 24 hours. It's probably been asked many times. But I dont see any notices regarding it.

Any ideas or rumors yet?

Whenever PD release it, no one knows when this will be.

I know this may not help but I treated these like something to enjoy, myself and two friends set aside a weekend to do the Le Mans race with us taking tuens like in real life. Was fun.

Never

It'll come, but later.

I hope its soon, will be very handy. Not sure I could play my PS3 for 24 hrs straight.

 

[Credge]

I understand the worries about leaving your PS3 on for long periods of time, but if you aren't worried about it then just hit pause and take a break.

It will come eventually, but we must be patient. I'm sure the Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Meltdown have had a very serious impact on PD, not to mention the rest of Japan.

personally I'm hoping never. Lets keep the achievment of racing for 9hrs or 24 hours special and not continue to dumb down the game.

Yeah this is a real achievment, pause the PS3 four days in a row instead of turing it off 👍 Wow! What a champ.

You're not the only one, I can't even do 4 hours without getting bored to death. Give them a few weeks to get stuff (relatively) up and running again, or however long it takes, then lets hope for it.

I just had to pay my biggest energy bill yet, after a 30% increase in cost for power usage, doing the 24 hour, is the last thing i want to be doing.

 

[SMOKY427]

it will come when most of people finish all races !

Technically it's a case of "easing" it up then "dumbing" it down if a save feature is implemented.

Why not have it? I know this is cliched but...it doesn't have to be used...

I have a launch model PS3 and there is no way i will be attempting to do most of the enduro races.

Just bought myself a new wheel not got the money to replace my PS3.

I actually agree with you on this one, my old fatty got a ylod and died from doing the endurance races, Even sony state that the PS3 must be powered down after a few hours to prevent overheating ( which causes ylod btw )

I am not going to attempt any more endurance events until this feature is implemented, I don't want my slim to ylod after only a few months lol

Really don't get why you're so against this. This will give everyone a chance to see what being a 24 hour race is like and witness the day-to-night transition PD did great on.

 

[MercilessOne]

My PS3 is a second generation 80GB fat one. It's loud and almost 4 years old. Don't think a 9 hour race and two 24 hour races will be much help to it.

I'm hopeful for those in-game saves.

 

[jmb27]

I'm with you, it's the only update I really care about and I've been waiting for it since it was announced. But as mentioned before Japan has bigger worries and needs to concentrate on things other than video games at the moment.

Ive done the 300km of Grand valley and 4hr roadster races ( i even setup a webcam for friends to watch, very dorky). It is kind of a good feeling when you finish the races having sat the 4 hours through each race with no breaks. But then you think; you just sat 4 hours playing a video game with no breaks. then you feel kind of bad. At least I did. I think the 4 hours are my limit for how long im willing to sit and play for. I can see both sides of the argument. It is a pretty neat accomplishment to complete an endurance with little to no time outs. However, you do have to put aside a considerable chunk of time to run these, which can be difficult. So Id welcome saves in endurance races.

I toyed around the idea of doing the 24hr race no pausing, but realised Id need to take washroom breaks and eat and so on. Where as the computer doesnt Im sure they just lap with the occasional pitstop for fuel and tires, so Id more than likely end up losing.
