Ok, I've decided to take the plunge and see what 1.00 is like one and a half years later (and especially since I've only experienced 1.01+).
I'm taking pictures of the menus, cars, etc. to see (and show) what life was like before our fancy seasonals and login bonuses. I'm planing on a week or so of "documentation."
I'll try to keep it going - school is an issue, so updates may not be often.
The first bit:
The "year and a half" was a round up/exaggeration. Why the nitpicking? People do it all the time - the Corvette ZR1 costs $110,300 (already rounded), and people say it costs $100,000. See? Now pick on someone else, please
.
The reason I want to do this is to A) see what 1.00 was like (I've only played on 1.01+) as I don't remember it that well and B) just show people how far we've come. Apparently that's not acceptable. I guess I'll just stop now.
Kidding. Don't like it? Don't read it.
Back onto topic:
The physics:
This isn't my strongest point - I can barely detect a difference, but it's there. As I recall from pre-2.00 (or whatever update revamped the physics), a 787B on racing softs would severely snap back if you tried to recover from a spin...causing you to actually spin out. And it didn't happen just on the 787B ether - most LMP cars and a variety of others did so too. Not sure, but I think comforts have more grip too (then again, I don't have my garage, so I'm stuck with low end cars). I still like 2.00's better
.
The AI:
Yep, it's pretty bad. They aren't GT4 clones, but they're close - hogging your racing line, driving slow around corners, acting like tanks...but they're more humane.
Or not.
He was in my way and braked early, honestly officer
.
And then this little crash:
Which was probably caused by this:
(Yes, I was trying to block them)
AI improved? Definitely.
The Pixelated Shadows (of rage?):
I don't really care. I don't. I've noticed before (who hasn't?), but I've never cared to whine about it. Is it a bit ugly? Yes...but at least you can be assured the days of 1.00 are gone:
That's Cape Ring.
But then I saw this at Tsukuba:
And here I thought it always looked "ugly." I guess not 👍.
The Standing Starts:
Remember this?
Didn't think so. I was surprised that the TGTT ever had a standing start. I only saw this in the Lightweight British Championship so far. Cool? Certainly.
That's all for the moment.
