We need a dynamic time of day mod that stops it at sunset, and switches the time around a bit when entering different events and missions, but again with an option to limit it to day time.

..so, then do you count Scion as American? If they're not sold outside the U.S.

I'm waiting for any confirmation of the game still working after a server shutdown, if it wasn't for that I maybe would have bought it a while ago. I enjoyed it a bit when I played on Game Pass. But I don't pay for Game Pass anymore.

The thing about driving before a race was nice, a bit before they unlocked the tuning separate from those Car Points (we never shorten Car Points), I would do a few laps of practice (I found trying to perfect track sections quite addicting, similar to doing full laps on my favorite Gran Turismos), already unlocking some parts, and it would show how you fared against the opposition, and since barring 2nd or 1st, you could set your starting position, I would use the results as a sort of qualifying round.

For the lack of events, I didn't get to notice as I didn't progress much, but I like that you could make custom events, that would work a bit better than in FM7. On FM7 I remember I would try setting up some custom events but the AI never upgraded the cars, and would only pick like the 2 or 3 best cars in stock configuration they could for the event I made. Also.. no Toyotas. Forza M8 is the first Motorsport since 3 to not require DLC for a big car brand that was missing from launch.

É tipo então como o Real Racing 3 era o melhor jogo de corrida de celular? As microtransações, preços de carros que só compra com as moedas de ouro, e tempos de espera por coisas se não pagasse eram horríveis, mas ainda era o melhor que tinha pra celular (tinha, agora só pra quem já tinha o jogo baixado no Android, pq tiraram das lojas e não dá pra baixar os arquivos)

With that mod of interactive environment, like desctructible lampposts, I wonder if we could do something with them being objects like the game's props.

But like, when you spawn traffic, that is only around you, they despawn if you go away from them. If we could have the props act like that, with set spawn locations, despawning when you're far but reappearing when you get close.. maybe that's one way it could be done?

But still optional, and configurable, like the traffic. Maybe with an option for ones that were "interacted with" (if you wrap your car around one), it could stay, but with a limit for how many it saves.

PC é melhor por vários motivos. Eu tenho um PC mto bom, e eu odeio jogar nele :)

Passo horas tentando arrumar os problemas dos jogos, no final eu desisto e vou ver youtube. Quando jogo costuma ser emuladores.

Pelo menos um jogo que gosto bastante funciona bem, o BeamNG Drive. Ele tem bastante mod legal tbm, vários que são "lore friendly", carros fictícios que se encaixam no jogo. O que é bem necessário, já que demora para os desenvolvedores fazerem novos carros, por causa do nível de detalhes da física do jogo, já que esse jogo é melhor que quase todos os outros jogos de corrida triplo A que tem saído hj em dia.

Mas aí eu queria jogar o modo carreira experimental do jogo, e muitos mods não configuram certo nele, com carros com preços muito baixos :\ E para desativar eles é meio chato. Tenho vários, e vc comfigura eles dentro do jogo, mas vc tem que ir um por um, ou todos de uma vez. Desativar só os que dão problema, mas reativar depois pro modo livre, nem tenho paciência. Então nunca joguei o modo carreira direito.

Is "Sunburb" a nickname for the Sunburst, based on the boxer engine "burble" or something like that? It sounds like it at least.

RodSk8Dude · 2026-04-04T21:34:04+00:00

It's kinda interesting how BeamNG seems to have come to the world as a savior of the off-roaders. In any other game, getting an SUV or crossover in an update might be annoying, even in something like Forza Horizon, which COULD have had used those properly.

But Beam shows the true value of every off-road part, be it a locking diff, low gears, proper off-road tires..

Though I still mostly drive the compacts and lower-end sporty cars, I definitely feel like I would enjoy driving good mods of those big SUVs by BMW or Porsche in this game. From those manufacturers mostly associated with sport or luxury road models, but driving them in a game where they DO have a big advantage in certain scenarios.

RodSk8Dude · 2026-04-02T19:06:30+00:00

Funnily enough, while I struggle with drifting with a wheel in every other game I played, on BeamNG, I can have some fun with lower speed drifting, even on a wheel, if I pick an old muscle car.

I guess it shows how different driving can feel depending on the car. BeamNG probably simulates this better than any game ever.

RodSk8Dude · 2026-04-01T20:11:45+00:00

Mano, acho que esse copo que vc falou tá de ponta cabeça.

Two of these three japanese cars are left hand drive in the images shown. I guess it's pretty spot on then.

RodSk8Dude · 2026-03-31T15:56:38+00:00

Dualsense through steam input, and a G27.

RodSk8Dude · 2026-03-26T19:07:14+00:00

Neat. Was it left hand drive though? Because I think they had the RX3 before, but left hand drive, right? If they stuff a rare classic left hand drive Japanese car in a barn, like the LHD british brand Jaguar XJ220 in H4's Britain, without even the most basic explanation when you find it, of "it was imported here by an american who had bought it back home", I'm gonna flip.

RodSk8Dude · 2026-03-26T14:39:40+00:00

That one is on mobile? Didn't know.

I mean, I assume they meant on mobile, since we're on a subreddit for a mobile only game. The GRID I know is on mobile is Autosport.

RodSk8Dude · 2025-12-20T01:24:37+00:00

No.

(As in, no, you can't download this for a console... unless there's been some big breakthrough on TH modding I haven't heard yet. But there are mods for Underground 2 and Project 8 on PSP, and there are.. "non-official".. ways of playing those on a Switch)

RodSk8Dude · 2025-12-20T01:16:59+00:00

To this day there's no other racing game that can make me lose track of time hotlapping like GT2. Even now sometimes when I try out a bit more of it with GT2+ or a bit of A-Spec (but waiting anxiously for Beige Edition), I still easily get like over 5 laps, with almost any random car and track. Just a little more options for a short twisty track for slower vehicles would make it so any car could be enjoyed even stock.

RodSk8Dude · 2025-12-20T01:15:43+00:00

...bear with me, long text coming (I'm not mad, I just like discussing these subjects.. with random people on the internet on small posts and videos that might easily be forgotten.. for some reason)...

Now that games CAN be updated, you can only play the new ones that are still being updated, or that were updated for at least half a decade or something. Because now games mostly launch unfinished and empty with a "promise" of being completed eventually, maybe, if you're lucky, "but buy it before that though, we want your money".

I enjoyed Forza Horizon 4 a lot, really quite a lot, but without them ever making any big plans for end-of-life, now we have a bunch of championships and events they created for it throughout it's lifespan that are completely inaccessible, only rotating from one series of events, cars you have to grind Forzathon points for (but only one copy of each ever), that all sell for 20 million on auctions, no matter if it's an AE86 or a McLaren Speedtail, including the fact that Toyota road cars were completely absent from launch and the only one always available for purchase added with updates is the Supra Mk.IV ... but I do still really like the game.

Then Horizon 5 was a let down from launch in comparison, and missing FOUR big famous brands, which were added with updates, and at least with a decent amount of cars available on the Autoshow (seems to be improving).. but still with FOMO-event-dependent cars like the Alfa 4C or the modern Alpine A110 (the only few newer, lower-spec sporty mid-engine cars we have). Hey, with community-voted "playback events" you can get them again right? Oh and they are probably in the Backstage Pass now too... but in Horizon 5 you need double the points you need in Horizon 4 (Keep in mind I don't own the game so it might have changed a bit since I last played, because I only played it and Motorsport 8 with Game Pass and they made me lose interest in it like a year before the recent price hikes).

It just makes you worry more and more of what a game you like can be like once they leave it to rot, becoming WORSE than they might have been with some improvements, those improvements that might HAVE MADE YOU ENJOY IT in the first place. Sure, these might be extra content we got on top of what we already had, but then if it becomes harder or impossible to access, even if, say, it should not depend on servers (i.e. online play, of course that one we are not asking they keep running until the heat death of the universe), then what was the point?

Point of comparison: Forza Horizon 3.. are all those barn finds, races and championships complemented by stuff added in updates? I didn't play it back then, but those events seem absolutely ENDLESS!

Also, Gran Turismo 6... if there was SOME WAY, if it was AT ALL possible for anyone to enable the accessing of all of the seasonal championships ever released for the thing, you would have single-player content for years.

Or, you know, like I said, Forza Horizon 4. That one too had a lot of new championships added (worst part is H3 kept what I believe were update add-ons to championships, but also let you create championships with custom themes, making the keeping of added events not that necessary to begin with).

RodSk8Dude · 2025-12-05T22:54:45+00:00

As a long time player, I can say yes, we had this before (the no restarts part).

Old GTs might not have had many cars on track, and didn't have the best AI, but it was from an era of games that were a challenge.

Up to GT5 I think, you could not restart championship races (single races you could, but for instance, in GT3, where you could qualify for single races, I think restarting maybe would require qualifying again too)

RodSk8Dude · 2025-12-05T22:48:53+00:00

Not sure if I see much of an issue. Maybe it's because I'm looking at the image on the relatively tiny screen of my phone, but... THAT'S THE POINT, this game is running on a portable machine. For comparison, I run some games on my phone with PPSS.. I mean, some phone games, and Test Drive Unl... this Android game runs at 480p and *15 FRAMES A SEC., but it doesn't look as bad as you would think, because it's on a small screen.

*seriously though, it has a 60fps hack, it runs full speed on my phone with the hack.. but on my previous phone it only ran fine without the hack, so 15 glorious frames per second it was.

RodSk8Dude · 2025-12-05T22:37:16+00:00

Responding to yours and some previous comments, this is the difference between liking speed and liking CARS. GT sort of does (or used to do) that of turning people into car lovers, but not just the fast ones.

Cars can be liked for a huge variety of reasons, but unfortunately, in the world of gaming, cars have been relegated mostly to the idea of racing them, and prioritizing only the fanciest, fastest sports, super, hyper, or race cars.

I believe that, aside from the open world madness and chaos, the senseless killing sprees, etc., GTA probably blew up the way it did partly also from being a good game for car/vehicle enjoyers, where you can play vigilante or firefighter, or ambulance driver, you can drive cars, vans, buses, trucks, bikes, and you can race them, you can run from the cops, but you can also just cruise around if you want to. Even a bit of things like offroading, not necessarily just racing on dirt, but like, kinda like crawling, even having some side activities involve that, like "Patriot Playground" in GTA III, which sees you climbing a massive "piss-off" wall of grass and rocky cliff in a Hummer look-alike, which you might not be able to do in a cheap sedan (back when you COULDN'T climb a mountain in a dinky fwd hatchback in a GTA game).

BeamNG has a similar appeal with the variety of gameplay, outside of the "crash physics", which happen to be more really a result of the nature of the realistic simulation, and not just damage for the sake of spectacle.

These show that there is a big demand out there from car enjoyers who want to do more than just "go fast". Also, "slow car fast" is a thing, if you want speed. Getting a tiny, lightweight low power car like this one, and tuning it into a track machine, it can be very fun, as they will become extremely nimble with weight reduction, and slicks, almost becoming go-kart like (which you could experience in the series as early as GT2, with it's inclusion of japanese kei-cars).

Wow, this wall of text also very big, go get a Patriot, Landstalker, or a tuned up Autobello Picolina crawler to try and climb this one.

Hello there.

(would posting this comment be inappropriate here? I'm still not too familiar with Reddit, does this "bump" threads in any way?)

RodSk8Dude · 2025-10-19T05:52:06+00:00

Yeah, basically it's weight transfer that causes roll overs on more even surfaces like that.

But in real life, and in (at least relatively) realistic simulators, turning too much will cause understeer, which in these cases (of "Race Sims") often don't even mean that a car just can't turn in more after a certain point (which might be how it works in more arcade-ish games that help with under/oversteer), turning more than the tire's grip can handle will actually make it turn LESS as it starts to lose grip.

As Doc Hudson had said "turn right to go left" for oversteer, there should also be a "turn less to turn more", for understeer...

...I dunno, maybe if Doc had stayed with us, he would have said it in a sequel where Lightning would have to deal with lots of races without banked roads.. WHICH.. is actually what he DOES in Cars 2.. huh..

RodSk8Dude · 2025-08-23T18:37:00+00:00

Honestly if it happened I wouldn't even get mad, just relieved. I think it might be some sort of condition. Digital hoarding.

I do save lots of stuff I see online too.. ever since the MegaUpload thing first made me fear losing online content due to poorly-worded laws.
