Hi everyone I trust you all had a good easter holidays.
I wana say 1 thing GT5 ROCKS, I plugged my G25 in , put it in simulation mode, force feedback to heavy mode, and no steering assist. and the handling is just breathtaking, I hate to say it. Better then LFS, Rfactor, GTR, its seriously farking good. over and understeer is felt, each car is unique. The game is brilliant. now that a game has came out rivaling LFS's handling, it also pisses all over the GFX. (not hard to do) and im afraid to say it its a total package.
This shows what is capable by 1 man who commandears help from people that can help, this is how a game should be made, by a group of people being guided by the creator. it took the owner of this game 1 year to get GT5 prolouge out, it has 60 cars, and 5 tracks, +reverse, and also different configs of those tracks. I guess im just saying that when you look at LFS's progress, even for a part time game, and less manpower, LFS should be finished by now.
now that I have had some time to play LFS with the G25, and also GT HD I have realized the Sony has got thier act together, and now shits all over the handling engine of Rfactor, GTR, Toca, even LFS (yes im afraid) its just poetry in motion. it offers great feautres, tv stations, download channels with various motoring magazine DVD's, Best motoring D1 Drift series.GT5 is released here in 1 more day, and already the guys that do have it, have thrown away their LFS licence, the game that failed them, that took thier money but offered little to no improvments over 2 years. the GT5 team in 1 year, rediesigned, added 60 cars, 15 tracks/combos/ variations, called it a demo. and is just brilliant., IN ONE YEAR.
in December the full version comes out, and will be on time as well. will feature 600 cars, 30 odd tracks,garage, excelent graphics, excelent sounds, also cars will be added each month as they are finished making them, creating non stop, never boring gameplay.
so after all that I am forced , to put my LFS gloves, and my licence on my top shelf, with games like Doom3, Need for speed franchises Games, Battlefield Franchise games, Half life1,2, Counter strike. all of those have been shelved because something better has come along.and is here to stay, with its constant updating, not 6-12 months gap with no communication, each week there is a coming up feature of GT5. No developers saying youll get it when u get it type mentality, at GT5 you are treated like a king, and given exclusive access into the GT world. ANd I like what I see.
So Scawen, Victor, and fellow Sim enthusiest, I just wana say thanks for a great game, and entertaining me for the past 2 years, sure I have been frustrated with LFS's direction and growth. But I admitt it LFS was there when I was bored LFS was there when I wanted to race
LFS was there anytime I felt like racing,
LFS, Victor, Scawen you have been great I will miss the you all.
this is to the devs and I hope you listen to this as this is my final messege on here. Please treat your customers with much more respect, tell them whats going on, employ more help from experienced people that can help you get this game where it should be, it should have DX10 GFX, real sounds, and real tyre physics.
Please Please keep the community informed, all the time, and most of all be honest about your intentions/ mentality/ strategy/ ambitions for this game, because all of those have been lost. I didnt know what LFS was, or was going to be, nor did anyone else, and I can say that in my country Australia that showed with a massive user drop to almost zero, all that was available was drift servers, no racers, they were bored and fed up with LFS and still are.
guys you have my account details keep me on the mail list for when you make improvments I want to follow the game,who knows in 2050 when you finish the game, it may actually be worth the 30 pounds I Payed for.
to the community
Im sorry for all the flamage in forums I have given
Many times I have been wrong, and if I was an arsehole or worse I apologize.
sorry for all times I ruined your races, by crashing into you, or having too much gutz and no brains in turn 1 or locking a brake, or spining out, Sorry.
I hope to see you in GT5 online some day guys, we had some trully memorable races together, although im not the fastest guy on the track, I wanted to win, and that was enough for good racing.
I must say thanks to ninja from PRO RACING ROOM and OCR in australia who was the only server to remain open when everyone wanted to drift because they were all too bored of the game to race also a big Pow WoW to Monday Night Racing, they were some fun times guys, enjoyed the level of racing.
so this is it guys Aidios Amegos, hope to see you in GT5 one day
Bye all (i promised my self I wouldnt cry)
cheers for the fun times everyone
PS devs, keep ppl informed, and try harder to keep new content in the games
