I will just answer your last sentence, we will never agree, that's fine, and I don't see the interest to argue with you anymore either

It's a discussion, these happen on forums.

I know what you did, I saw your vids, your setup and FFB recommendation, most of the time I didn't agree with your appreciation or recommandations

Given that a good number of my videos relate to PC titles I'm at a loss to understand the basis for your disagreement.

I know you are not only a GT7 player, but sometimes try to open your chakras and think as a console player perspective

If you had watch my videos on cross platform or console only title I do exactly that.

On a forum related not, please don't multi post, the site has tools to let you select multiple posts and reply to them on a single post

Not really agree on all your points, yes it has already been done, and it's done better on PC, but considering console market theses are 2 more serious propositions, well IMO, and not so much equivalent on the market yet
Again I was talking for console audience

They are new on the market, they need time, again I'm not telling it's a perfect product, just saying theses have good foundation and they deserve some time to deliver their complète vision

Project cars 1 and 2, Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, even Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo 7 to slightly lesser extents, all do most of what Rennsport and PMR do or claim to do, better. With the sole exception of modding, which as Scaff has already said above, as well as me, really hasn't been utilised to enough of a degree to be a genuine selling point or reason to buy PMR on console.

There may be less choice on console and whilst PMR and Rennsport will, and no doubt have, sold better on console because of this, it doesn't make them the de facto choice when other games have already done what they offer, better.

The choices on PC simply resigns them to the bargain bin of the sim world and, if we're being honest, Assetto Corsa and it's modding capability could have done that single handedly. Add in LMU, R3E, AMS2, rFactor 2 and iRacing, plus a historic library of sim racing classics.

GTPlanet has always had Gran Turismo as it's primary focus (hence the GT), with select other titles featuring should they demand enough of a following to do so, Forza being the biggest series to get regular coverage. PMR and Rennsport are far from the only sims to lack coverage, LMU, iRacing, AMS2 rarely/never feature. There simply isn't enough value in covering them here.

There aren't many simulations on PS5 :
GRAN TURISMO 7
ACC , Assetto Corsa, Project Motors Racing / Cars .
RENNSPORT...

I understand both sides arguments .
I find it a same that all games don't receive the same treatment . Well , that's too bad .
Furthermore , the developers listen to the players .
The game improves with each update .
We console gamers are trying to give the game more visibility .
I think it's a same that the ones doing it , butoh well we're .
You have to know when to give the game a second chance , especcially if the latter improves .

PMR will save itself, but I think that Rennsport is too far from that.

It would be great if I'm wrong, but I think their actions are too weak and late.

Too bad, bcs their deves are so cool.

I also understand both side, and honestly think that PMR may stand a better chance in that regard (as long as Ian Bell doesn't follow his normal pattern). It's got a better base product to build on

In regard to Rennsport what you have to remember is what feels like giving the Devs a second chance in console, is for those of us who have been playing since the PC betas, more like a fifth or sixth chance.

I would 100% like to be wrong, but the track record of the team doesn't help.

For me, speaking as an offline only console player (so probably in a niche there)

I think PMR is getting there and as long as they continue to work as hard as they have been which is a caveat I’m still slightly dubious about, I think it’ll end up pretty good. The clock is ticking though and I really hope they stick with PMR rather than abandon it for a sequel which they have some form for doing (it must be more lucrative for them, but they really do have a duty to the people who bought the game in a poor state). It majors though on a really interesting car list and striving to authentically recreate some pretty niche series going back several years. Rennsport though for me lacks any USP. What does it actually do that all the others don’t? I’ve had to concede sadly that answer is still nothing. It has a few interesting cars, but in most cases they’re alone in a class of one (or two) and there’s nothing to really race against. From what I’ve experienced it’s even more lacking on AI (numbers or challenge) than PMR is too. To be worth getting it would have to be a markedly better (or at least interesting or different) experience than GT7, ACC, PMR, FM23. I really want to see some evidence of that but I can’t see any. So that’s why I’m struggling to pull the trigger on it.

Storefront updates and price changes — RENNSPORT

Hello Racers, We have two updates regarding our store pricing and the Deluxe Edition. We are adjusting our timeline for the price drop, and we are changing how the Deluxe Edition is packaged. The Standard Edition price drop is moving to June 25th Last week, we said the permanent price of the...

Price cut moved back again. The incompetence is beyond laughable at this point.

 

[kjb]

Wow. They are really trying to get people to buy their game. That is commendable but maybe a little too late though

Looks like they are cooking something!

Patch notes: Touring Classics Part 1 DLC — RENNSPORT

Hello racers! We are excited to be back with a new expansion of RENNSPORT, featuring more content, bugfixes, and more! The deployment of the Touring Classics Part 1 DLC will occur tomorrow morning at 09:00 CEST, servers are expected to be unavailable for approximately 3 hours. We also have the...

Releasing this now shows the urge for Rennsport to attracked players and secure longterm commitment. Happy to see those tourers but it's currently to late for me personally with NASCAR 26 just around the corner and the improvements made to PMR which I already own

 

[Fezzik]

I am shocked to find that they've actually done the standard edition price cut.

It's not worth it though without the deluxe DLCs and the upgrade is not available anymore. Touring Car pack on its own is £12.

 

[m355y]

So they've dropped the price but then removed the £7.99 upgrade to deluxe so if you want the DLCs you have to spent another £25 plus? I don't think they really want my money tbh.

 

[Tired Tyres]

£7.99 upgrade only available if you own the Nurburgring pack, which isn't listed as as buyable.......

 

[Scaff]

It is, to be blunt, a comedy of errors. A consistent mess of both product and presentation.

To be British about it, they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery!

It also gets even more of a mess on PC, as the deluxe edition is still available (for £58.50), but if you were a beta-player (as I was), you got the standard version FOC when they moved from the Pay-to-Play model, but you can still pay them £22.49 to get zero additional content (how fun), and no discount off the deluxe version. You also can't purchase the Touring Classic DLC separately. So you would have to be utterly mad to buy the upgrade for an underwhelming product at this kind of price.

So if we assume the Touring DLC sells for the same price as the Endurance DLC, I would need to spend an additional £28.63 for the 'ring and a livery!

 

[MagpieRacer]

Didn't think it could get any more farcical, I was wrong.

 

[Scaff]

Didn't think it could get any more farcical, I was wrong.

You should have been here since the early days. It's honestly been a title that makes Ian Bell and co. look like honest, competent professionals.

Let's not forget how 'scratch-built physics' fell apart when it was discovered they had 'borrowed' ISI code as a base....

Rennsport Admits Physics Are Not Built From Scratch

Rennsport has responded to allegations of stealing rFactor 2 code.

[Mr Grumpy]

Echoing what I just wrote in the PMR thread, it's this type of crap that would easily support the release of AMS2 on console

 

[kjb]

I just went on the PS5 App and the price is $29.99 for the base game but 79.99 for deluxe
You can get the deluxe add on for $9.99 and get all of the DLC which cost 14.99 apiece. I feel bad for anybody who bought the deluxe edition at $79.99

 

[appu]

You missed the messages above you. They have removed the deluxe addon completely.

My long wait to buy Rennsport has finally ended ... in a non-purchase. I don't think I am getting this game, like ever.

 

[kjb]

It still shows on the PS App

That is from this morning. That's all I am saying

 

[05XR8]

$40 and $130 here.

How is the 9X8 an enduro classic when it says it’s a modern Hypercar evolution? Anyway…

 

[RACECAR]

I get the impression these folks do not know how to sell a game.

 

[PletdeKoe]

Bought the game on Ps5. Two dlc with it. My bad. The game is like those old budget racing games on the ps3. It looks bad, sounds bad, works bad. The driving is somerhing you could get enjoyment out of if you play long enough. But I will not.

Assetto corsa competitione is miles better than this game. And comparing it to GT7 will end up 10-1 in favour of GT7.
