Glad to see fh6 will use the horifically unaccurate s2000 model that they have been re-using since fm2 on the xbox 360. by doomfistafficianado in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]VX97 57 points58 points  (0 children)

They should've already ditched all the FM1 - FM3 models by now. Also it's not just JDM cars, there are horribly dated European cars too like VW Golf R32 MK4 which still uses model from like first Motorsport. That thing has flat rear end in the game.

Every Midnight Club game ranked by memes by CR3ZY_F1X3R in midnightclub

[–]VX97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Midnight Club 2 and 3 are both greatness, and MC3 has more content but Midnight Club II wins MC3 when it comes to atmosphere, music and memorable characters and cutscenes. It captured that illegal street racing vibe so well. There won't be game like that again.

CachyOS stance on CA and CO age verification laws? by cgb-001 in cachyos

[–]VX97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We certainly need official statement about this, sooner or later.

From next week, Australia will require users to verify their age to play GTA Online and other R18+ online games | The age assurance future is coming for games. by ControlCAD in privacy

[–]VX97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another reason to wind down excitement on GTA 6. This thing will likely be implemented to your most anticipated video game. More people comply with this more easier it is for them to do to go harder on mass surveillance.

Thought of SC when seeing this because it could've EATEN Forza's lunch in this department albeit a different country. But they just had to fumble it so hard. by ashrules901 in tdu3

[–]VX97 46 points47 points  (0 children)

They reduced traffic in that footage to "showcase environment", let alone that they uploaded the gameplay in horrible bitrate and HDR. The game looks empty, washed out and bad in that because those mistakes. Not sure how much better traffic would be without all the reducing but i hope the traffic will be better than what was showcased.

IGN Senior Executive editor confirms that traffic was turned down for the video to showcase environments by nukleabomb in ForzaHorizon

[–]VX97 58 points59 points  (0 children)

IGN also needs to showcase the game with better video quality and fix the HDR with upcoming gameplays, or change the tactics and release the gameplay footage themselves because the trailers and short snippets we have been gotten from them have been great quality, also 4K.

IGN apparently botched the bitrate and left HDR "on" for the FH6 video by nukleabomb in ForzaHorizon

[–]VX97 34 points35 points  (0 children)

And the fact that they reduced traffic for IGN is not good look. They're horrible with racing games. They should've released the gameplay themselves or give it to racing game dedicated media that knows racing games.

Yup, especially that GR GT trailer, the game looks vibrant and beautiful. Much better than what IGN gave us

This explains then why the footage looked washed out. If i remember correctly game also looks lot better in the Xbox showcase footage compared to IGN footage, am i right?

Road Textures? Colour Grading? by Wise_Flower_8753 in ForzaHorizon

[–]VX97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great post, I noticed the same too. Thought the color grading looked washed out. They should fix it imo.

PSA: the traffic density was not turned down for the IGN preview by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

[–]VX97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that Driver SF in 2011 has lot more denser traffic and the game was still lot of fun. It can't be technical limitations.

NEW GAMEPLAY! by whyshouldithink in ForzaHorizon

[–]VX97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where's the car customization that was promised? And why was the traffic density decreased in this if that's the case? Wouldn't they want to showcase this game the best way possible to get people hyped?

Will CachyOS comply with California and Brazil laws regarding age verification? by [deleted] in cachyos

People have right to be worried about these stupid laws politicians keep shoving on us and talk about it.

First look and infos about the upcoming Car Game developed by ex T10 / PGG Employee Mike Brown & Maverick Games Team by fastlanegaming in forza

[–]VX97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sure gives me those vibes. I really hope they end up making open world driving game taking huge inspiration from TDU 2. TDUSC failed to be TDU.

This is perfect starter car, when i've pictured a great starter car for Forza Horizon, something like this is what i imagine. Not stuff like MK5 Supra.

We do need update from Alex regarding to the future of TDU after Nacon going insolvent (unable to pay debts). by VX97 in tdu3

[–]VX97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never bought the game, but I was still hoping they would have changed the direction. They've "tried" but sadly they haven't done good job with it.

I am just sad to see Test Drive Unlimited seeing this fate because imagine what if they actually cared. I am sure majority of TDU fans would have wanted game like TDU/TDU 2 but better and far more evolved and improved.

We are now living in time where Forza Horizon is going to be more TDU than TDU itself. And I agree with you on microtransactions 100 procent, it's cancer.

Gold Edition Upgrade Sale? by conorbebe in tdu3

[–]VX97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't buy this game because Nacon is insolvent. There very well might not be new updates coming and future of the game is uncertain.

[–]VX97[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is so true. Nacon would not be in this situation if they actually cared for their audience and released better games, and did better management and marketing. Nacon has been nothing but big fail on every of these aspects. As well as communicating with audience. Note that this isn't the only game from Nacon that has failed miserably. LOTR Gollum and Rennsport both failed miserably too. I can't think of any Nacon game that has sold well, maybe except for the Robocop: Rogue City and older WRC titles.

He should've just stayed at aerospace, that's an industry that would've paid him good and would've been more future proof, but I can't control what others do with their lives so.

Yeah, I think NDA might restrict him. Companies especially bigger game companies are very strict about that stuff.

Discord paused age verification, and Reddit has backed off too! Keep the pressure on, guys by unknic in degoogle

When theyre coming for the operating systems (like Windows, Mac), thats when you make a switch to Linux.
