There's a fine line to be walked in the Discord. The way some people are bringing things up is clearly intending to just be inflammatory and a lot of people have then attacked the Devs who, in my opinion, bravely put themselves on the Discord to talk about the issues. They don't have to do that but they are.

They definitely responded to the radar chat and said it's obviously something that they will work on as there's demand for it. The people who then respond to that by attacking the developers are then an issue.

I don't think their interactions are disappointing personally, the alternative is that individual developers just wouldn't communicate with us and we'd get a media/social media/community guy just fronting it and that be that, 'pass on the feedback' type thing.

I disagree, I obviously don't see the messages that get deleted but some of the recent discussions that I've seen get shutdown have been completely civilized. And then the mods/devs in the discord shut the same discussions down whenever it comes up again. It seems quite heavy handed to me, even in contrast to Forza forums and discord.

Hmm. I tentatively got on the hype train, now I’m kinda weighing up whether to sneak off at the next stop. I haven’t pressed the emergency brake yet, but I’m fully prepared to vault the ticket barriers and run for my life if needed. I think I’ve milked that analogy dry now.

I’m kinda glad I haven’t pre-ordered this yet at the moment, but it still has time to win me over.

GM not holding back.




If they copy FM and release like this, maybe they can do the updates better than FM and not abandon that. They did seem quick to fix their AI so maybe they can get it out of this "pre-alpha" quickly?

Not all people like GM, but I think his channel is the best. He's completely independent and usually doesn't hold back, as you said.

That's the only way to get anything improved. Fanboysim doesn't take these games forward. GM is not always right though, but most of the time he's spot on.
 
I haven't watched too much because influencer sim snobs are horrible, but it's looking pretty good to me.

Visually it looks nice; about what I'd expect on PC. It still looks hazy/washed out like every PC title.. GT7 still king here. I had totally forgotten there was like actual career mode with damage costs and buying stuff, so that seems fun and new but also scary to screw up a race. Menus still feel a little flat but, all the PC games are. They put zero effort into the UX. PMR menus look like a slight improvement over PC2 or AMS2.

The AI seems slightly rough? But also some of that could come down to the driver. Just like with GT7 (and other games), some people over drive a car cause they feel like thats what people do in real life. So they saw the wheel back and forth and hurl the car into turns and dive bomb, believing that because its a computer it should just be programmed to avoid them.

Sounds seem good? Hard to tell from a stream or videos. Thought I heard an engine sound very synthetic for a second.Force feedback will probably need to be tweaked because it's less about realism and more about what I person thinks is real. So they want it how they like it.

All still aligns with my expectations. I never expected this to be some radical new perfect sim because they never are. This will get better with time like they all do. I got all my new PC parts in today except, sadly, the RAM won't be here til next Friday apparently.

@Apocalypse211 GM is one of the examples I can't watch. He seems like a miserable $^&@ in everything I watched so I "Do not recommend this channel" to me on youtube.
