If the driving physics are good enough to be fun (see Gran Turismo or even better Enthusia) I can do without a damage model.
Of course NfS is never going to be a true to life simulator, but I'd be content with a proper "car porn" game for the PC.
I don't know why I subject myself to reading their comments. It hurts my brain how stupid they are. "Back to the basics with NFS Underground 1 & 2?" What? That doesn't even make sense.
"Does the driving feel realistic or is it arcade like the NFS predecessors? Slightly Mad’s physics engine is highly-advanced and calculates manufacturer chassis information with industry-leading realism. Performance parts customization and tuning are available in a much more complex way for example there are options for interior customization to drop weight in your favorite car as well as specific tuning prior to drifting or race events."
... One day you guys will stop willy waving and play a game because it's fun.. most of you aren't even old enough to know what a good simulation is anyway.
Tomba if you think it'll be shit, don't comment about something you clearly aren't interested in. It's an interesting project and you're casting judgement before you've even played it. Besides, if you think a console game that sells only some 40,000 copies (such as LFS licences) will be a financial success, then you're sadly mistaken.. It has to appeal to a wider audience and to people of all ages. 95% of people who like racing games don't care if your tyres have 48 samples on a tyre to flatspot.. they don't care if you have ground effect. They don't care if you have laser scanned tracks and 482 suspension geometery sampling points.
They want a fun game, that handles acceptably, with nice effects.
Yeah that whats games are about, about pure fun.
Unfortunately a lot of ppl mises that point.
There is sims, arcades all kind of games and neither of them lam3 just different.
But i think that most complaints bout lack of realism in games its kinda forced by nature of this forum since its dedicated to the quite realistic sim.
Saying something like Yea I like arcade and flashy graphics its kinda "faux pas" and its punishable by community boycott so a lot of ppl even if they like something like this will not admit it in public cuz there will be always some realism fan who almost Sh*%$T in dos mode and in addition makes graphs of it, and start another flame war that if you like games like this its definitely mean you little kid who doesn't value anything in game except graphic so its more safely to stay low and quite
Since laser scanned tracks i am pretty sure are not in LFS but ground effect I read in manual its suppose to be added in one of the patch,
so is there any chance its already in LFS.
The manual might be a little outdated.
I don't really care for realism normally, but when a game says it's going to be realistic I get not amused when it's arcade. I play arcade games like TrackMania and enjoy that much, I play LFS and enjoy that, but when someone claims to be something and it's not and just pure shit car feeling, then I don't like it.
Well I reveal you a secret as far as I remember almost every developer claims that his product its the most advanced technically and the most realistic soft on the market which going ahead of all actually available games and even its new epoch and all, saddenly its usual full BS so i wouldn't believe devs on word I would rather wait for some reviews and gamers opinion.
BTW the game that always claimed to be unrealistic and prove to everyone that its anything wrong Ridge Racer (4 is my favorite )
Cool example why unrealistic doesn't mean bad.
Total oftop just saw first time sirocco cockpit I am in love:lovies3d: cant wait till the patch come out.
In some developer interview this feature was hyped. I can't wait to see it. It is amazing how Next-****ing-Gen™ technology finally allows these kind of truly innovative features such as this shaking camera.
Infact Xbox360 and PS3 have better technology than PC games, because PC games designers have to work to minimum specifications. IE who has a Intel i9 thing and 2 4870x2s or something in Xfire, with 8gb of RAM?
hopefully it has the physics @ max realism settings to match the looks
so i wouldn't believe devs on word I would rather wait for some reviews and gamers opinion.
