Unfortunate to hear about the graphics. I played it on PC and it's by no means ground breaking but doesnt sound as bad as what you describe.
As for the handling I've played in hardcore mode with a racing wheel and it works quite well. Sometimes I think the oversteer can be a bit much.
It seems theyre trying to make the racing a bit more realistic vs NFS and Burnout where you're glued to the road most of the time.
Ive played both shift and pCARS. I can tell you pCARS is much better as a sim. The career is still pretty early and seems basic so it's hard to say how that will go. If you want car upgrades, you wont get that. But as for handling and immersion, pCARS is fantastic.
There's been alot of work done into the physics and tire model. They've had a couple professional race car drivers provide feedback.
The helmet cam is significantly better than shift 2...
I've played AC, the RF2 demo and a lot of pCARS. I like how pCARS handles. It feels fantastic with a wheel. If anything the road cars do slip out easily. But the tires arent changeable yet so you can only go so fast with sport tires.
As for the graphics, it does look as nice, you just cant see as much detail when things are moving. There are some graphical things that could look better but tech might not be there yet. Such as sand being kicked up, splashes of water, the r...
They did scrap it as far as I can see. You don't see PS3 or xbox 360 in the list anymore. The build notes for each release (done two to three times a week) used to have PS3 notes and such. Now it's labeled as next-gen, as well as a section for wii-u.
Shift 2 had some bad bugs. SMS commented they would have fixed them, but EA had to request it. I can tell you from the current builds, this game is miles past Shift in terms of what it can do.
The console builds are being done alongside the PC one. Usually you don't get a demo of a game until it's just about release ready, which pCARS is not. They are constantly tweaking the physics, working on the career, making fixes to the UI, graphics, etc. Skinning the cars. Some cars have no skins on the interiors. Some of the tracks have minimal work done on them. The game isnt due till later 2014. So i wouldn't expect a demo on console till august. Till then it's still in pr...
Triple screen gamer here. it does cost you a bit more money to get it going. got 3 IPS 1920x1200 monitors from dell at about $300 each on sale. Added in a 2nd radeon 7970 to make it playable at higher settings. It really helps with the immersion in the games (racing games especially). Something like battlefield youre mostly looking straight ahead, using the peripheral monitors occasionally. my pc is close to 3k in the end, but you can save some money. i5 instead of i7, less ram, smaller ssd, ...
I dunno. They've reported that they've been building on pcs or working with them at least. That and the development of the disrupt engine. I doubt it will be on the dunia engine.
agreed. nonetheless looks similar to crysis 3 and project cars level of detail and effects. so certainly possible.
Pretty sure its 4 cores with hyperthreading. Only server spec CPUs have 8 cores. Sometimes checks with use Cores/threads interchangeably.
apparently im one of the few that liked AC3. hunting in the woods, the mechanics with muskets and an axe, the tree climbing. enjoyed that. i liked the ship battles, but hope that isnt overtaking this game. i liked it as a side option.
The gameplay video quality is stunning. I'd say its definitely on par with the screenshots. oof course you cannot pick out the exact same details from the movement of a video as you can in a screenshot. There's also the fact that youtube typically downgrades the quality of video.
It's hard to tell from the video, but the pc version is most definitely prettier. i havent seen the console in person ill admit. But ive never seen a console game have this much detail without ailising, or having low Q textures. etc. Here's a screenshot i took on high settings. goes up to ultra, but it gets low fps at that point on 3 screens. http://img.techpowerup.org/...
Thanks for looking at this. This article had me mildly concerned that the handling system might be off. but now im pretty confident itll be good. demo in a week or so hopefully to try for ourselves
Yeah I enjoy it a lot. Not sure how well it will go with online players and their DS3s. Its nice to be so precise when taking shots.
Nah its only some tracks that have day/night. its presumable that the ones that are 24hour will have them: nurburgring and sarthe. But other tracks we will have to see when the game releases. I hope it comes soon, could of been playing it now :(
I dont like how the article is saying "its getting out of control" when its before street date, no one is supposed to have it before tomorrow, and this keeps people from leveling a character in mp.
the main issue i have with this is you may only be able to access certain modes/hardcore as you level. What if they have a max of 16 players like they do on xbox, i like 32 players on a map. its more challening and fun.
Gran turismo does have a lot of different versions of the same car. which is rediculous.
One thing, i thought forza was getting the ferrari italia. Didnt they have a video for it? I dont see it in there. Hopefully GT5 is getting it.
I think they mean a specific car is exclusive to forza. But otherwise they really dropped the ball. Not like thats odd from microsoft
ive played a few of the 3D ones and find them repetitive. ultimate tenkaichi was the last one i played. how does this compare?
