The most beautiful race car there ever was, ever will be

“Thanks for the detailed response.” You’re right, I’m absolutely seething over here. Read more

Sorry, but I’ve never bought this argument. The purpose of a livery editor is not to reward people who are good at manipulating primitives; it’s to let people make liveries. A tool that makes that process easier is better. Read more

Wow, the reflectors actually look best in FM4. Read more

Thanks for the detailed response. Those are good questions to ask and frankly, given this was a developer showcase, I hoped and expected they’d dive into the why more than they did, instead of retreading the grand proclamations. Also, if you go back every new iteration of a sim has advertised a new tire model. At… Read more

The manufacturer influence definitely has a lot to do with it, which is why in some games if you look closely you’ll see different brands or categories of car subject to different degrees of damage. But I suspect that’s not the only reason — changing development priorities and expectations from consumers probably have… Read more

It’s a good question, but unfortunately it’s too early to tell. It’s possible they’re still finalizing the license terms — sometimes these things can drag on until the last minute. Read more

They certainly needed a reset. They did use the phrase “rebuilt from the ground up” at least three times during the trailer, which worries me a bit because it seems almost like they’re overselling it. Very few things in game dev these days are totally thrown out and remade from scratch, and I recognized all of those… Read more

If we did that Marlboro would comprise at least a third of the list though Read more

I’m on board for the Gemini Rennaissance Read more

You’re a competitor, and you’ve trained a lot for this. You choosing the race with the reasonable failure/disconnection rate and safeguards in place? Or the one that leaves itself and all your effort open to fuckery? Some people are so desperate to establish a real-world metaphor to justify failures that clearly… Read more

Right, so Out Run is a unique case. Nothing was ever licensed, but since the early 2000s every rerelease of the game has significantly altered the Testarossa model, presumably to not piss off Ferrari further. Here’s how it looked in the Sega Ages 2500 series for PS2:

I think some angles, like this one, really serve it better and make it look like an improvement. Doesn’t look as great head on, IMO. Read more

This is always how it goes!!! Read more

I don’t know where it ranks for me quite yet, but it is more dramatic than I was expecting at this point in the lifespan.

Nice! The ClubSport V3s are so good, love how easy they are to adjust and the built-in rumble. Read more

How do you like it? I reviewed the CSL DD before the GT bundle became available, really curious about that particular rim. Read more

I honestly expected Fanatec to announce a price hike of $100 or $200 this year. The market is absolutely foaming at the mouth for their products and they could probably get away with it, considering how the prices of damn near everything have been jacked up. I think Logitech was looking to take advantage of the market… Read more
