racing games - no not racist games you fucking ni

[Thiletonomics]

Turn 10 posted their second Community Update, with the set of fixes that are set to be included in the next patch. The small amount of fixes, compared to the amount of issues that people are experiencing, is not re-assuring at all, but is the status quo in the era of MoDeRn GaMiNg.

No it's on my (verrry long) list.

What other games do you have on your list?

What other games do you have on your list?

Basically, every racing game (auts away) that isn't 2D, but that list's on pause now. What little time I spend playing racing games these days is spent playing the likes of Mario Kart or Hotshot Racing with the family, but if I know something that feels like MW'12, I'll find time.

Mario Kart

Which one?

 

[Haftag]

Which one?

All, emulated, but mostly 8 since it's flashier and heavier in content.

Aside from the Dolphin, is there a good Gamecube/Wii emulator?

Dolphin is the only Gamecube/Wii emulator AFAIK but it works perfectly and the devs are constantly improving it. I don't know why you would want another one.

Dolphin is the only Gamecube/Wii emulator AFAIK.

There are some for GC, but they come and go and have, so far, never reached Dolphin's maturity.

Apparently, what Kaz has been cooking up, is a GT7 update that will contain SEVEN new cars, but since the previous updates were only 3 or 4, it looks huge, but isn't:



The cars appear to be:

• Lexus LFA '10
• Dodge Challenger SRT Demon '18
• NISMO 400R '96
• Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II '91
• Dodge Charger R/T 426 Street Hemi '68
• Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS '22
• Tesla Motors Model 3 Performance '23

I do wonder how PD still has the license for Tesla cars, since they stopped licensing them for other racing games.

 

[The Last Stand]

Is The Crew: Motorsport actually a good game or it just looks better from FH5 and NFS: Unbound given that people are tired of open world racers now?

Did I miss some drama between Tesla and some other developer?

IIRC, Tesla decided to no longer license out their cars to racing games, but still does with the GT games for some reason. It's similar to how Rolls-Royce decided to stop licensing their cars in racing games as well.

It can't be Elon Musk or something

PD will be rolling up a Spec II Update for Gran Turismo 7, which is the largest update for the game so far:

Features include:

• SEVEN new cars
• Arcade Race being re-worked as Quick Race, and PS5 players can race against the Sophy AI. Sophy AI is available on 9 tracks, and uses 340 available cars.
• New “Lake Louise” Snow Track, which is a fictional Canadian race track
• Weekly Challenges, which appear to be similar to the Event Playlist in Forza Horizon. Prizes appear to be just roulette tickets though, so expect to only get the bare minimum from them.
• Three Extra Menu Books, since PD loves to use those as part of the "Main Campaign" for the game
• 50 more License tests
• Four-player Split Screen on PS5 (although it's yet to be seen if the bugs have been fixed)
• A new Progression Dashboard

The timing of this update being after FM2023's poor launch is coincidental, but maybe those features were held back until now, hoping that Turn 10 fumbles their release. (and they did)

The Forza Monthly announcement has revealed two of the next set of upcoming new cars:



The Lucid Air Sapphire will be added to FH5, and the Saleen S7 LM will be added to FM2023.

Here's something for the simniggers

The Nurburgring Nordschleife is coming to Assetto Corsa Competizione. This would make the Nurburgring the only track to have multiple layouts in the game.

This, along with the upcoming GT2 expansion pack, and the new Aston Martin Vantage GT3 will possibly be ACC's end of life content as Assetto Corsa 2 is slated for a 2024 release.

After a few days later I have finally completed the 24 hours of Le Mans in Gran Turismo 5 for the first time.

I'm so tired I never want to attempt this again.

FH5 is getting mictrotransactions

• '64 Plymouth Belvedere
• '66 Nova
• '68 Firebird
• Lucid Air Sapphire
• '69 GTO Judge

And four new race routes will also be added:



A new paid Car Pack will also be added:



And PD posted an infograph of the updates FH5 got, since it will be celebrating it's 2 year anniversary this week:



On the Motorsport side of things, T10 released the Patch Notes for Update 2, which is scheduled to release on November 14.



In addition to the mentioned new Saleen, the Gordon Murray T.50 will also be added to the game.

Out of boredom I decided to experiment with what road legal cars can I beat the Gran Turismo World Championship with. So far the cars that can win with relative ease are the Ford GT, Pagani Zonda and Ferrari Enzo. What I'm really trying to do right now is use the Mazda RX7 and other Japanese sports cars, but the main problem is how unstable they feel at high speeds even with areo kits and suspension tuning.
