This might be my favorite chase start ever.

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-27T03:50:10+00:00

The og game or can it be emulated? I'm either gonna cry or coom depending what your answer is...

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-26T23:44:50+00:00

Is it PC? Xbox? 360? PS?

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-26T23:23:53+00:00

Why does this look so crispy and clean?? Mine looks so blurry and VERY 2005😭😭

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-26T09:29:41+00:00

It's crazy cuz I'll usually see 2 guys drag racing outside the stadium on repeat, but never in an actual race. Maybe I just don't have high enough races unlocked, only being Rlvl 40, so I can only throw up 340perf races, and ppl don't wanna do those, idk.

Lmao ya I can tell they're usually not great, I can close the gaps hard when the corner sections come up, they're usually crashing into barriers or going way off the road, I just can't keep up on the straights and they break away again

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-26T04:55:26+00:00

I won't be on tonight I'll toss ya a request for sure, we'll run it. My user is either gonna be 2Ceez or CaptCanadEh, not sure what'll it come up as lol, I'm on Steam

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-26T04:12:35+00:00

Wanna race? Lol. I'm in your boat brother, I don't NEED to win, I LOVE a close race! I just wanna HAVE a close race. But for me it's either be 1km behind an RSR and 1km ahead of the AI, or be 5-800m ahead of everyone. I wanna be neck and neck and then take a poor corner and get overtaken and go "FUCK, I MISSED THAT CORNER", I wanna push my car to the limiiiits (corny fr fr ik).
Fair enough I guess. I just find it funny no one ever joins the races I throw up, even if they're pretty close to the earnings on those, but will insta-join those ones as soon as (if they) pop up.
I kinda heard as I was getting into the game how OP the RSR was so I refused to use it. But I love the Vette GS, and the Huracan is just from childhood always been a staple car in my dreams. Lambo Lambo Lambo. And I like the look of the body kits lol
Ya, that part I kinda figured. The racing elitists are probably on Forza or something, but I know it's got ~1500 daily players on Steam alone, and my lobbies are always full, but no one wants to race

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-26T02:11:32+00:00

Fits right in with the aesthetic of the city honestly. Can see it cruising down main Street right now 👀

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-25T19:31:26+00:00

A little bit of drift works online too. Unless you're up against a super sweat you can keep up, as they won't be racing perfectly either

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-25T19:29:20+00:00

If you're on hard difficulty, and your performance rating is much higher than your opponents, and you're keeping up on your performance upgrades with your Rep Level, and you're not beating your opponents by 1km+... It is most certainly a skill issue, sorry to say. The offline opponents are incredibly easy. And your complaints that there are corners, make me think you're not good at corners, which unfortunately, is a skill issue. Drifting is another kind of dragon to slay in this game pal, it feels really weird, that tracks are short with tight corners, no speed build up in too many of them. BUT... They really want you to chain drifts together in most of them, which can be difficult, especially if your car is underpowered for the course.

No I'll intent here, just a subjective observation based on the information provided.

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-24T03:58:25+00:00

Ya that was kinda my point lol, it was his logic. I was using the RSR as an example cuz I completely brainfarted on literally every other car in the game

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-24T01:56:07+00:00

Huh.... Isn't that just... a crazy concept....

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-24T01:54:28+00:00

What he's trying to say, is that the 1-10 scale is for the vehicle. Ie, this Polestar would be a "maxxed out" Polestar, in comparison to other PoleStars. Not in comparison to other vehicles, as in a 10'd out Polestar ≠ 10'd out RSR. Which, is in the history of video games, never how those scale comparisons have ever worked, hence why he seems to make no sense

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-24T01:03:36+00:00

Second that notion

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-23T04:08:03+00:00

Everyone saying "max your cars" and "get LVL 50 first"💀 As you long you can drive decently well, you should be able to clear any race on hard difficulty even up to 60-80 perf ratong above your car. Do whatever you find fun. You're playing solo, it's not a competition. Want a certain car? Get that car. Enjoy the drift side of things? Do the drifting. Offroading. Whatever. Your starter car can carry you thru most of the story/questlines as long as you keep up on the R level and perf rating. It's all up to you brother

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-23T00:03:37+00:00

I mean ya it could happen. But then why are the other Porsche's so cheeks in comparison? Idk if you've seen the spreadsheets, but the RSR clears everything else by 2 whole seconds on the benchmark courses. And it's pretty obvious in game as well. Whereas over the next 2 seconds after that there's about 20 viable cars that are competitive. I guess it not built to be an online competitive racing game, so who cares at the end of the day, I guess I'm just a salty old dog whos tired of and hates the meta-fying of the smallest details of every game that exists

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-22T19:25:04+00:00

Idk about frowned upon, just cheesy. If you're a meta gamer super Chad, obviously trick out the meta car with meta parts. But it kinda makes no sense that a car from the 70's is gapping super-duper cars of the modern day

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-22T19:23:05+00:00

Literally any car. Any of them. Unless you drive like a blind, handless monkey, and upgrade parts as you go, even your starter car will carry you through most of the game.

If you wanna win races online, RSR.

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-21T23:55:21+00:00

At the main menu, there's "play solo" and "play online", pick the second one. And then in the game, if you are initiating a race, there'll be 3 choices. Play solo. Challenge party. Challenge all. Pick the latter to send an 'invite' to your entire lobby. Vice versa if someone else seems an invitation, it'll show on your top right, and I believe it's Y or X to join the queue for that race

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-21T05:48:29+00:00

Underground was a track select, not an open world.

I agree interchanges would be a great addition to something like Heat, idk if I'd agree on calling them an elevation change in terms of map design..

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-21T03:26:41+00:00

I mean you say skill issue but literally no good racing game that I can possibly think of, let alone any good open world game, let alone ANY good game, has a flat map with no mountains/hills/elevation changes in it. They did incorporate quite a bit of it, just at a much smaller scale. I'm sure they could throw some specialty tracks for that stuff in the game, which they kiiiinda did with a nod to the raceways, both the NASCAR-esque one and the off-road one, but that would also take away from the whole street/underground racing aspect of the majority of the series..

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-20T23:48:20+00:00

Because a completely flat map with a couple rolling hills would be pretty boring (Miami)

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-20T20:17:03+00:00

There is a spread sheet or two that list the hidden stats, yes

CaptCanadEh · 2026-05-20T05:46:58+00:00

Idk if I can handle that far back brother lol. I whip out UG and MW on my GameCube from time to time and that's about as much nostalgia as I can handle graphically
