So after some laps on iRacing I'm in love. Combine having my triples back and cars that actually turn in and feel so connected. It's truly all that as a physics stand point. The car sounds are orgasmic. That LSX in the Caddy is amazing. Coming off the throttle and the cackle. OMG. FAP FAP FAP.
If PD took note from this games physics and applied it to GT. It would be thee best SIM out there. Graphics wise, GT is ahead.
I don't plan to abandoned GT. I've got faith that Kaz will update the game and get things dialed in. With triple support. Some sounds sorted and physics dialed it will be awesome. Thinking a lot has to do with frame rates and that dreadful screech of tires.
I hate to say ti, but I haven't really been turned on by GT either, and its made it hard to get into. I don't want to call it GT5.5, cause I don't feel that way, but I do feel like its GT6 Alpha. With version 1.03, whenever we get that, we may move up to the beta phase. So many things are so incomplete. There are so many glitchs, crashed and hicups that it makes first release Fallout3 look like a prefectly implemented game. We were promised monthly DLC and lots of updates. We are clseing in to a full quarter with only two patches, the game day 1.01 patch, and then the 1.02, which was mostly just to fix the HUGE glitch in 1.01. I hate to say it. I really defended PD on this game and hoped for the best. But jeez, the more time goes by, the more my willingness to keep on defending them wans.
I to do not plan on abondoning GT either, but I don't think I will miss it this semester like I missed racing GT5 last semester. Hopefully we will get some postivite updates. But I really do fear that PD will get just a few more additions into the game. Online community, a few more special events, perhaps the track creator, though I have a sinking feeling about that, to-good-to-be-trueism. Then they will drop GT6 like a dirty rag doll and turn their focus on GT7. By that time though, I may find it hard to quantify getting a PS4, since it would only be for GT7.
Maybe with the addition of the SNAIL website, we can start to incorporate different games on different systems over time. Get a SNAIL league on GT, Forza, iRacing, ProjectCar, etc. We can become the SNAIL racing organization.
