What do you think of B-Spec mode?

[Lain]

Sometimes, I like it... y'know, for endurance races and stuff.
So, what do you think of it?

I never really liked it. I've used it but then I bought the DFP, restarted the game and now I want to finish it A-Spec only.

Yeah, I prefer A-spec as well, but I mean, when will I ever have the time to do a 24 hour endurance race? In B-spec, you can do the same race in a third of the time!! The only drawback is that some cars are just too fast for B-spec. On the New York track in my Gillet Vertigo, there is one turn that I will ALWAYS crash on in B-spec... even if I have the speed set to the lowest possible!

I like it, it's good if you are lazy to do the races by yourself.
But, please, search, there are houndreds of threads about B-spec

 

[CRXnut]

I just don't think it's needed in the game. I would replace it with option to save game in the pits. Or at least don't award the prize car if you B-Spec a race.

That sounds like me. I dont use the DF right now but I am trying to complete the game in a-spec.

However, I dont mind the feature. It lets you complete the game faster if you wish and lets you pretty much become the "crew chief" so-to-speak (sorry for the NASCAR term)

I dread the day I decide to run the 24hr Nurburgring endurance on a-spec but it makes you feel 100x better knowing that you completed something that you could have easily done quicker.

I have only used it forthe endurance races, so I guess it is ok, I could never find the time to do a 24h race, it would take me weeks

But its sucks that it goes back to 1x mode after each pitstop and not stays in 3x

 

[Appie]

im using him always for endurance

 

[Simulator]

He's a great help for endurance races and long championships (Formula GT )

Well, its good for races that I dont like. Like races with standard tires, I hate that... But I usually never run the b-spec. I dont plan to use it for endurance races neither.

Keep it real, Keep it A-Spec !!!!
Say NO, to B-Spec !!!!

 

[Emohawk]

It's good. Crazy people get their stupid long enduros and sane people don't have to sit through them.

Yeah, I know what you mean!! I bet Polyphony did that just to be annoying... oh well.

 

[Lain]

Exactly!! But I always pull into the pitstop so I can do the last lap of the endurance race in A-spec... it's kind of a ceremony of mine!!

 

[Alfaholic]

Overall I think it was a great idea. I kind of think of him as a team mate. I just wish that both he and the other AI goons were a bit more scared of walls though.

I've used mine quite a bit. Partly to win the races I am not interested in competing in, partly to win prize cars a second or third time, and partly to make lots of money. Same way I'd use a hired driver in real life, in fact. But when I want to drive, I go ahead and drive. Its great having the option.

it's a necessity, u can't finish a 24hours race without it, but I would have preferred to save datas during a race to end a race automatically...

You CAN do a 24hr. race without B-spec... it just takes forever.

 

[xXSilencerXx]

You need it for the 24 hours if you don't want it to take a week unless you got absolutly nothin to do. The B-spec driver is an idiot though and takes forever to bulid his skills and even when he does he still sucks.

 

[Vonie]

It's a saving grace for lazy, bad drivers like me.

 

[Lloyd87]

of course I CAN do a 24hours race without using Bspec, but I and my PS2 would explode...
That's why I'd have inserted the possibility of saving datas during an endurance race.

 

[Rzeractor]

I think it's handy because there are some tracks I just cannot stand.

I know what you mean. Some tracks are just UNBEARABLE!!

 

[Mr. Boy]

I think bob sucks. Sometimes if I want him to overtake someone, he won't (and overtake is on). I mainly use him for endurance races (there's no way I'm gonna A-spec a 24h race!) and some races where I know I'll be bored. Of course, I would take over from him if he messes up.

Tuning also adds points, plus a well tuned car will not crash.👍

The only way to tune a car so that Bob cannot crash it is to set the gearing for a maximum speed of 3.

 

[Trivon]

B-Spec is without a doubt very handy and it adds a new element to the game. I'm glad step step was taken to change the way GT4 can be played. Besides, endurance races can be a pain if you can't find the time of day to carry them out.

 

[MisterWeary]

I don't have the patience for endurance races so I B-Spec'd them all, if they had it in GT3 I would have done it there too. Kudos to Sony for that move 👍

 

[gibus]

I think it's great! It allows anyone with some driving capacities to finish the game while letting the people that are more dedicated still finish the game i A.Spec.

Also, there is no way, that I would be willing to spend 24 Hrs on a race (even with the save option)! It's rediculous. Doing some 400 laps that are 95% similar to the first one is just a huge waste of my time.
