A bit off topic, but we just need 200 pages more to reach 1000 until the game launch!:tup:
Yep, Capcom profits were up. I think they've done a good job with eSports, it's amazing that they've got so many events with so many top players touring around the world, it reminds me of the game in reality.
It's easily accessible for noobs like me to take part in the tournaments too. I entered one but couldn't be bothered to go to it and that had a $15000 prize pot. It's a game with simple controls but while remaining quite deep. Online is where the fun is IMO or against other local players, I played through the story and that was quite boring. One of my cousins said she plays it a lot so I'm tempted to get it for my laptop so that I can learn enough playing online so I don't get annihilated too easily. Hopefully GT SPORT 7 to 77 means it is fun to take part for all players online. I think racing game is harder to be competitive at for regular players than a fighting game so they've probably got a difficult task to get the right balance. I do hope they have fixed setups so it's easier to be competitive.
I could easily had hundreds of thousands more views but in a way purposely did not. Looking at GTPlanet first footage of GT6, that is nearly a million views and I could have posted before but thought I'd wait at least until GTPlanet posted footage.
Are you just calling yourself a noob to try to support your case? Because even though I don't agree with you, you're not slow in the slightest. The story is quite boring, because there is a lack of one.
This is something usually said by people who usually can't do the thing they're saying they can do. I would imagine GTPlanet's footage having that many views is because they have a much better reach in the GT community than a lone guy on youtube.
That was regarding fighting game SFV. In terms of sim racing, I'm also a noob really. Had my first proper sim race only recently. Need to figure out setup, had some tips from Wolfgang Reip and some others. There is a story.
I already posted an example of video I posted showing how many views I got being one of the first to put a GT video on YouTube as example. Probably received in total over 300,000 views just for GT footage alone. It's most logical conclusion for me, if I posted first public GT6 footage, I would be top of search results and would have had a good few hours extra exclusivity when most people will be interested to see first look at the game, it would be a surprise if I didn't get a lot more views. Even on posting of same video, there is not a lot in it for a completely new channel versus GTPlanet. I don't care much about views I get though, thought it would be more important for GTPlanet hence not posting straightaway.
So because you put up a video that got 200k views in a span of 5 years makes you think you'd have more of an outreach than GT if you had uploaded it first? I'm not seeing the correlation with that. GT5 had a much bigger anticipation than GT6, so you'd think you'd have received a ton more views than 200k(especially considering it's been 5 years to tally that number.) I'm not so sure you would have reached the 1mil that you said GTP received for the GT6 video, because like I said, they have a much bigger reach. Just posting on this site alone will likely garner more attention than you leaving a video on youtube.
Most of views in first month or so. I said I would have had likely hundreds of thousands more views. Anyway point is whoever posts first of a new game generally gets a ton of views on a popular game. This time around, GTPlanet for the unveiling GT SPORT video currently has less than 10 thousand views. That's a very low amount compared to GT6 views. At least though Jordan got good coverage through other channels. I can see a strong correlation on whoever post first video of game footage gets in general a lot of views. I know for sure posting videos on this site alone, there is very little reach having had a lot of unlisted videos posted on here. Soon as I make it public, I get a lot more views.
I think that would be a wrong assumption. Rating systems make just as much sense in fighting games as well. It would suck to be a low par player constantly getting unluckily shoved in with pro players. It would definitely kill the fun for someone who isn't as skilled. The same thing can be said for people who rage quit before a game ends, you wouldn't want to constantly be paired with people like that, and it would make sense for it to be reflected on their record, and for them to be coupled with like minded players.
Yeah, I'm not sure you're in a place to tell people what they like more. I like to just kick back and mess around offline majority of the time during the week, and the weekend is when I'll dabble online, even though that's not too often.
For sure this is true, and I believe the ranking system will be the clincher.
- have those from the beginning in GTS + coupled with a decent ranking system you'll hook some people. There's no better way to grind for cash.
- you name it... but it must be stuff you can't get any other way except earning it by winning races, improving rank or playing a lot. Maybe it could be traded or sold? Nothing that gives a competitive edge, just stuff to help you show off your achievement and make the game feel more custom to you. Think CS:GO skins... I mean WTF is with that? I could care less about that stuff, but it drives the kids wild.
No contradiction, it's one of the best examples of point I'm making. It was posted too late, if it was posted a few days earlier, I'm sure it would have got a lot more views. In terms of production quality, it's one of the best coverage of GT on the channel yet doesn't have much views. If it was rushed and uploaded on the 20th, a lot more people might have seen it IMO. Also reposting footage on the 19th would have likely got even more views.
Having a look at this article, seems Kaz focus is for first time players: Link
You speak for yourself exclusively mate. Not in a million years am I interested in racing against other people. GT5P , was when I had a lot of online races - good and bad, convinced me that online PvP is not what I'm looking for at all. That does not mean racing is not the most important thing to me.
Yes, no one is saying it was less complicated, just stating that you saying that it's not needed in fighting games was a off base.
If that annoys you, than don't post it that way. You stated it that way, if you don't want people to read it that way then I would suggest editing it. Either way, again, that is just what you feel, yet you're saying it like you know what I feel.
You also said:
Sure you're not going to need the same rules and balances, but they are definitely needed.
Isn't there supposed to be a rating system in the game to prevent that from happening? I get what you're saying about offline singleplayer, but with the amount of content being cut way back from what GT usually provides, single player unfortunately just won't be as enjoyable as it used to be. It's a situation like this where the online has to be optimal if they're not going to put much effort towards offline.
