First and fore-most...though many of these are almost simple rants, I want to lead of by commending PD on all the amazing hard work that was obviously put in on this game. It will be stuck in my Station for quite a while! That being said first, now on to the...but,
There many simple things I feel PD just over-looked that really
surprised me this time, and if by any chance I just missed these
somewhere, I to am not perfect and will just be happy to find out that they're there. So here goes...(list by no means in order of importance)
1.Nascar but yet still no drag racing?....d*** it
2.Miles per hour...Thank you! Now why is everything else is listed in
metric?(length,width,ect.)
3.no HUD settings!!?? leader list,lap times,ect. are constantly stuck onblocking view and creating extra retention on my screen. I could care less if Mr. I.B.Anoname is in 2nd place. Maybe as a popup for when im racing my friends or nascar, but not permanent.
4. Some cars have no inside view at all, and others like the viper are to close to where you can see either entire mirror.
5.Most cars from inside the vehicle seem to lack a serious depth in
sound. Unlike the outside rear view, which I'm almost always impressed to the point of driving in the view I dislike the most for the lack of realism.(preference I know,but I own a wheel cmon!! helicopter view with R/C driving, no thanks) I'm in love with cockpit view!(wow edited that sounds wrong)
6. There's no fast forward or rewind in replay yet you can stop to take a picture. So if the pic we want is 20min into an endurance race, do we have to sit by the screen the entire time and hope to pause at the exact second? yey!
7. We have in game brightness adjust but no volume adjust. That's a simple setting.
8.What's with part time personal background music that cuts off directly at the end of the race? We can't listen to it whenever we want to? yey more bosanova!
9. Why is there no sort for NA or turbo tune anymore?
10.There's 0 turbo/supercharger adjustment!!??? JUST on or off???!! Before there was a wide spectrum to tweak it perfect, yet there's no waste gate now....OUCH
11. There's no g27, g25, fanatech support at all...Really? "sorry guys if you own more than a $100 wheel, you're just out of our league."...is that what they're saying?
And so far one of my biggest WT*'s...
Number 12. A transmission is completely mechanical...meaning...if I shift to second, even without clutching, I may grind gears,I may stall, I may do alot of other things...One thing that will never happen!!! I will never, ever, ever just sit in neutral!!!! Does anyone really think that a missed quick shift results in having to clutch back to N then back to gear? Really?
So in temporary conclusion...I've heard this will be the last installment of GT. Hopefully that means everything from here on out is updates and all of these issues, and follow-up postings can be addressed...
Thanks again PD.......Frag
p.s. fixing that occasional video stutter would be cool too....
