"I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
always online does not benefit the player, it only benefits the company.
if companies have to convince gamers that always online is a good thing, then that means basic supply/demand is FUCKED UP because there is no demand, only supply.
it should be the other way around.
hypothetically if the gaming industry was demanding services like Steam or Uplay or XBL to always be online, then yes....gamers would then be ready for always online services.
but we arent. it is called "Forced Standardization" and it is what Microsoft is doing with Windows8 and the 720.
aside from there not being a cockpit view... (i can deal with it albeit i only use the cockpit view)
the game looks....bad. yea...the graphics are nice....so fucking what? if im sacrificing the cockpit view for "graphical fidelity" well then WHAT THE ****? im a PC Gamer and the limitations of the 360 have NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PC.
that is the WORST possible explanation i have ever heard. do you know why? look at the crowds on the sides of the track during the Dubai clip. THEY LOOK FUCKING TERRIBLE.
arcade-y is fine if its done right. the endurance game mode looks like a wasted opportunity because the random track generation is a great idea, but if its only used in the endurance game mode....LOL
even GRID1 had its realistic elements. enough for it to be allowed to be arcarde-y.
12 player maximum? LOL AHAHAHA
and i have a feeling they fucked up the single player game...bad. i know im speculating but based off what cam and seb said about playing with bots if you want to play a SP game...that cant be good news.
also the point they made about Codemasters using biometrics to be able to tell that "only 5% of people use cockpit view" tell me they are centering this game around multiplayer, because they cannot pull metrics from people playing single player...because they are offline...
it also looks like they are gonna use the car buying system that ruined Dirt 3 for me...with GFWL or whatever shit they want to tie into it to scrub money off the user.
Race Net? no....just no....i fucking hated Auto Log.
so **** you Codemasters. id punch you in the face through the internet if physics would allow it. idc if im ranting because Pro Race Driver was fucking brilliant, and is what got me started on racing games. it was the first game to effectively blend an awesome story arc with a well built sim-racer.
