I went back and drove some of the cars I loved while I was a GT6 player and to me, probably 90% of them felt like something was being faked. Cars didn't respond the way I've become accustomed to with AC. I'm talking comparing F40 vs F40 or Yellowbird vs Yellowbird, for instance. I do think that GT6 does provide a very close approximation of what real cars are capable of when moving, but it feels artificial to me now.
Well, it happens every time I change from a simulator to another for some hours or days, in both senses, when I pass some months with GT6 and I change to AC or PCARS everything seems weird and fake till the brain is reaccomodated to the changes. It happens to me when I come back from AC to GT6 too.
Are you not actually going to answer any of my very specific questions and simply change the goalposts again.
The discussion is clearly about the physics engine, not about sounds or graphics (not that your analogies even make sense in that regard either).
Does GT model the areas I mentioned, yes or no, it's quite simple.
When a question is rhetorical you can answer or not. Yes, you are right at that point about items that GT doesn't model and AC does.
The discussion is about simulation. You should introduce "in my opinion" often in your sentences, you can't try to impose if some analogies about physical-respecting simulation are acceptables or not. In my opinion, that analogy with images and sounds (both simulating something real) matches perfectly here and can offer a new perspective to undestand my view, that it's not difficult at all to understand, even if you don't agree.
Which you may have a point about if anyone had said that AC at that time was 100% perfect as a sim. I don't recall anyone in this conversation doing so.
As such you've created a situation that didn't exist to simply support you're own argument.
That's quite a dishonest and misleading approach to take.
There's nothing dishonest nor misleading in my opinion. I'm saying that I feel better with GT6 and that AC doesn't feel real to me. I agree that playing others simulations give you a relative judgement for something you thought "realistic" as it happens to many people who trys AC after GT6. I understand that, but not everybody has the mandatory to think that AC feels more realistic than GT6. The realistic feel in a simulation happen 100% in your brain.
When you are driving in AC do you feel 100% of time that is realistic ? Or sometimes your brain says "i'm playing" or "I'm not sure if this car should do that in RL in this situation" ?
You want only have reason instead of understand anothers points of view. For me, AC isn't so real, I'm having fun with it, it's a masterpiece and awesome in huge amount of details, and I recommend to play it to everyone. Same thoughts about GT6 which, for me, makes me feels more connected to the virtual reality more constantly than AC.
Not sure I understand what you're saying here.
I'm try to say that all is simulation and if AC changes so much with FFB variations it means that some variations are less realistics than others. In all cases you have to "believe" that you're in a real car, you have to lie to your brain to have the immersion feeling. If a model have too many options to try to feel real that's because it's isn't so real.
Every car could simulate their real FFB like it is. For example, the Lotus EXOS T125 have no extra steering-hardness to turn in comparison with the modern Abarth. I'm 100% sure that's not the real steering-hardness in that kind of car (Lotus EXOS T125).
I think he's saying, "How realistic can a supposed simulator, like Assetto Corsa, be if you can change FFB settings? Because changing FFB settings is going to change the sensations you feel..." or something like that. I don't know.
I don't understand how someone calls Assetto Corsa "a work of art", but then says it doesn't feel realistic. I think he is completely within his right to believe AC doesn't feel realistic to him, but then why heap praise upon it? I thought GT6 felt super realistic too...when I had never tried a single other driving game. Then I experienced AC and my thoughts changed. Who knows? Maybe I will try R3E or rF2 some day and be even more impressed than I was with AC. But, I wouldn't then declare AC to be unrealistic.
For me GT2 is a work of art too, as Limbo (the game), and Hotline Miami. They all aren't realistics. AC is for sure a work of art for me too.
I can undestand that you and many others find AC more realistic than the others simulators. It's logical to have and respect other opinions. I like AC a lot and I'm having fun with it. No problem
I thought for sure that by this morning someone would have won the argument and all parties would be in total agreement on the topic. Much to my shock, the internet argument with strangers rages into a third day! Who would have guessed?
Strangers rages ? I like AC and GT6. I bought AC two times (PC and PS4 versions) and I'm happy with it.
I hope we can like or love a simulator and make some subjective critics about it.
