Yep, that’s what I noticed too. The game to me looks similar to pCARS 2. Maybe a little bit softer, which some may not like, but not much different. Definitely not like a mobile game. It may not look better, that is true, but the consoles are also still the same and the game had trouble keeping a constant 60 FPS before, so it’s not surprising it is not an upgrade.
Yep, all downloaded and ready to go.@Scaff Has pre load started for you since deluxe edition buyers just have to more 2 till they can play it and your the reviewer of the physics i'm personally waiting on the most to hear from.
While i haven't play the game yet and wont till the 28 i have driven the gtr enough in 2 to tell the physics of that gtr video posted a few pages back look off compare to 2 but will see 5 days from now.
I only have a few games, the Grid series except for 2019, Asetto Corsa, PCars 1&2 and another one. I don't remember having seen that before. The reviewer mentioned Drive Club so maybe it came from there. He also mentioned Drive Club at least 5 times, Sim Cade around 7 times and looks like a mobile game. Thanked Codies for his shirt and other gear. I don't understand why Jimmy's review gets so much negativity.
My main reason for picking it up is to review it for my channel.Oh. I really thought you were going to wait for a while. I guess you could not resist blasting through the foam blocks for extra XPs.
Thanks for picking it up! When you review, do you do a score at the end (ie - out 10)? And if you do a score, what do you take into consideration - how fun it is as a straight up game? Or do you take into account your expectations such as 'is this a sim?'
Here you go, this is the criteria I use when reviewing, along with a number of past reviews.
Thanks! It's a good way of doing it, especially since my eyes glaze over when people talk about GT classes and the like. I only want to race against my friends and have a career progression for single player. It's also probably a big part of the reason that I'm personally looking forward to this
On the subject of the requirements and expectations for something to qualify as a sim, here's a blast from the past that popped up in YouTube recommendations, a well-made retrospective showcasing Viper Racing, one of the first most sophisticated PC sims I grew up with:
As documented in this video, Viper Racing features:
Viper Racing did not include:
- Full physics-based freedom of movement, and a respectable tire model for its time
- Engine torque acting on the chassis
- Early support for a clutch axis and force feedback
- Dynamic deformation from collisions, also affecting suspension alignment
- Geometric suspension modelling
- Upgrades (!)
- Basic telemetry logging G-forces
- Fantasy circuits (!)
- Cannonball launcher (!!)
- Magic wheelie button you could use to fly, or to crush a disabled Viper into a small clump like a piece of aluminum foil (!!)
- A crude airplane you could fly around, shooting cannonballs at cars and buildings (!!!)
So...is it a sim?
- Engine damage, even after serious collisions
- Tire wear or temperature
- Fuel consumption
- Qualifying
- Pitstops
- Real world circuits or motorsport
Standard PS4. And yes, the trees stood out as jagged objects even amongst all the other ones (like the car interior, white track lines etc). I know they said they tried some different way of designing 3D trees in pCARS2 and thankfully it looks like they've ditched that idea for 3.
