Well, if i hadn't been wearing decent boots, I am pretty sure I could have, if not serious damaged it, lost a foot, as it got caught in the back wheel, and the engine was running and still in gear.
Other than that, wasn't too bad, having a head on in the car @50mph hurt more
The modelling of the premium assets could easily take 5 years, especially if they didn't sub-contract the work out, like other development teams have done in the past.
But yes, when you are playing you do wonder why, after so long, there are so many things that need fixing and fettling.
No, not yet, did the first one, the german car one, going to do the Nascar ones next, but I was unsure if you got gifted a Nascar for golding the Nascar special events......to save me from buying one..........
Just went through and re-tried them, "golded" them all easily, infact the final one at Chamonix, I had 16secs to spare!!!!.
The ghost is far, far quicker than gold time, so don't worry if you are a way off the ghost.
The biggest way to make it easier for me was bumper cam, pee'd it using that.
Now halfway through Lvl21, just unlocked the Nascar series, so that will be fun, also did the "wet ring" challenges, which are actually really easy.
Also, now I am over Lvl20, I don't really see much of an improvement in the damage system, has it ACTUALLY been confirmed that Lvl20 "unlocks" damage?, surely this would be something the game would tell you?, (which it makes no mention of)
The "bad graphics" are a combination of different models / textures, as they are of varying quality, plus how proficient the user is at the photo mode controls.
