So much for modding in this game. Nothing new (on console) since launch week?

I think this game is in trash can, should give refund...

Meantime, Rennsport getting updates and already talking about first DLC (Endurance - Le Mans)

It's sad, but the game is not over yet !
Youtubers killed the game before launch and again tell it's dead, how that is helping ? Appart making clickbait video and earning them money ?

Thoses telling it's crap, the worst game ever etc, have you only try it ? Or are you making assumptions over some youtubers reviews ?

I'm feeling really sorry for the team and the people that loose their job just before Christmas

The game is not what they sold yes, but it has really good bases and the game is fun, much more deep than GT7 or FM, with great immersion
If you had the opportunity to try it, you will see, don't expect tracing pr LMU, it's a middle ground

This not the disaster YouTube says, it could and it will be great, it lack polish, but it bring something different, unique that need to be saved

I can't understand why this game is so much put in flame while TDU SC get thought, I can't...

Then they should consider letting people demo it if that’s the case. If YouTubers killed it before it got a chance, a demo version would let people try it out without throwing money at it.

Even in your post, I’m reading it thinking oh maybe it’s not that bad after all and then you confirm it’s not what they were selling us on. Which makes me doubt it again or question if I should even bother.

Put it into the hands of players and let them bypass those YouTubers. But from what I’ve watched and heard and seen, a lot of their concerns aren’t all that exaggerated. But I would still like to see for myself. Not dropping $90 to be a Guinea pig though.

Exactly my issue with PMR (and with Rennsport). I have Project CARS 2 which is collecting digital dust with just 6 hours played because even after endless tweaking, I am unhappy with how it plays on controller. So, without a demo, I don't have any confidence in PMR's controller playability despite reading "it is better than Project CARS 2 on controller".

Yeah it’s kind of all word of mouth, for positive and negative reviews. The problem I have with it, is I know it’s taken a hit on graphics, so was expecting the physics and handling to be phenomenal yet a lot of complaints aren’t about the physics and handling and ffb so it doesn’t give me confidence to play a worse looking game that has physics handling ffb issues that need to be sorted. But again maybe it’s not that bad. I ain’t taking a chance.

If only PMR looked as atmospheric as this

 

[Morbid65]

I really hate to say it, but I think a lot of people have been chased off of online racing. Either it's basically impossible for most of us to be remotely competitive so you quit, or you have some run-ins with trolls so you quit. Or your internet isn't quite up to snuff, causing all kinds of headaches, and you quit. This is supposed to be a fun pastime and distraction from the drudgery of our lives, and getting your head beat in by 5 seconds a lap, griefers who just won't leave you alone, and/or lagging and constant dropouts just isn't. So if you're sociable enough maybe you do open driving online, and if you're not, you go single player.

Unfortunately, people giving up because of their skill level just kills the opportunity for splits/ratings to work properly, ensuring that slower drivers aren't put into their own splits with similar skill levels, and then when splits/ratings don't work it in turn makes even more people quit. It also ensures the people who are giving up will never get better, so it's all kind of a vicious circle.

Those of us in leagues see that happen quite a bit. Guys in 10th place get discouraged and leave, so the guy in 9th place feels like he just lost the guy he normally battles with, so he gives up, and pretty soon a league has 5 fast guys battling for the podium, then it's a second a lap back to 6th, 2 seconds back to 7th, and so on.

Then they should consider letting people demo it if that’s the case. If YouTubers killed it before it got a chance, a demo version would let people try it out without throwing money at it.

Big this. If they were confident in their product then a demo or trial or "free play weekend" thing would be the best way to prove people wrong... or at the very least, let people see themselves that the title has a promising foundation or whatever.

It's also more important for people on console as well. The console stores aren't as eager to give refunds for poor titles, plus wheel support seems a little bit more inconsistent on consoles. I held off on both WRC10 and WRC Generations until free play weekends on Xbox, and both titles I couldn't get my wheel to work properly on and both had zero customer support for it, so I'm to the point I don't pre-order or pay full price for anything I can't drive first.

It's a shame that this game has been like it is. I do plan on getting this eventually but after waffling back and forth about pre-ordering I decide against. I wanted to wait for all of the DLC to come out. Also I wanted to see what mods would come to the game. If funds were as tight as they now seem to be that may be why Ferrari and McLaren aren't in the game.
There are a few car and track combos that I am looking forward to. My wife like don't buy anything I want right now so who knows this might be under the tree for me

 

[Fossilized]

Never have I been so disappointed at being right.

Never have so many remained optimistic despite Ian Bell's long sad story of half finished games.

Hopefully, PMR can sell the cross platform online code to other games. As long as the dwindling player base is Balkanized by platform, hardcore sims are a risky project. Maybe someone more grounded in reality can use the cross platform code to unite us.

But it will never be Ian Bell...

 

[doblocruiser]

I'll leave this here 🙏

 

[brocp]

Ok question. Is there any way of adding fuel to the cars before the start of races? I'm sick of starting with 50L in GT3s and having to pit about 25 mins in to a 30 min race...

 

[Cayit]

I still find that this Game needs little more time to get Polished and Updated(better physics more Cars etc.) but I find People are getting way too fast Mad and Upset about the situation at this Point!
Just remember how GT7 was at release, it was also ''empty'' and had his Problems...
So just calm down, I have fun with it right now with PMR(even at this point)...

 

[Scaff]

Indeed, I hope not.

No, they didn't. Did it help PMR? Nope, but the majority simply talked about real issues with the title.

The game is not what they sold yes,

This is much more of the issue that caused it to tank (for a multitude of reasons - some of which we can only speculate on).

but it has really good bases and the game is fun, much more deep than GT7 or FM, with great immersion
If you had the opportunity to try it, you will see, don't expect tracing pr LMU, it's a middle ground

Which is not what it was sold as, and it's not the first time an Ian Bell title has ended up like this. which is a much bigger factor than YouTube talking about the titles' issues.
