GT Sport vs Other Games: Comparison Video Thread

PC2 really needed a solid launch compared to the buggy mess PC1 was on consoles but unfortunately it did not happen.

Which has what to do with video comparisons?

Please don't post off-topic.

That is with the friction assist turned on. But hey why post the full context of the vid when you can have a good bash?

Yep, that's with the new "Friction Assist" turned on, which is like SRF on steroids. It's thoroughly ridiculous.

But, turning on Friction Assist automatically dirties lap times (so clean leaderboard times will be unaffected), and is unavailable for any online racing outside of dedicated beginner lobbies.

Why not mention that? I wonder...

I can't understand why the developers doing this with Forza Motorsport's licence..
"Friction assist" don't have a place in a racing simulation.
Forza Horizon isn't already there for this ?

Might be for learning purposes, but yeah .... this is a bit much

Not as 'much' as using it to make a product appear something it isn't.

In this case, the teacher does not give good advice to learn how to drive !!

Maybe not, but given the title the intent was most certainly that.

there is nothing like this in GTS, even when all the aid are activated....

Good point. If you're using this, might as well stick to horizon really .

That doesn't make a blind bit of difference. Its not representative of the core game and it wildly misrepresentation.

It’s an option for people who struggle with the game and if it doesn’t affect the competitive side of the game then I don’t see an issue with it.

Do you exist only to cherry pick certain negative aspects of other games to make GTS look better?


Also, put some respect on Mario Karts name.

Oh, I don't doubt Friction Assist will arrive in FH4 next year.

I can see why FA was added, the same way I can with SRF. I don't like either, though; it's making the game more approachable by allowing players to bypass having to actually learn anything about car control. A good suite of driving aids in a game will encourage players to get better with the core physics engine, not overlook it.

Both SRF and FA do nothing to teach players about what to expect when playing against others (or indeed, what driving a car is even like). They're there to open up game completion to a larger percentage of the player base.

So?

GT6 actually forced SRF for some seasonal events. Being required to use these physics-simplifying aids to remain competitive seems at least as bad IMO.

It’s quite sad that you feel the need to stoop to such lows because you have a chosen favourite. Actively looking for negatives and then posting them is a really sad thing to do. Why not post vids of all the wonderful things that GTS is doing?

I thought this was a comparison thread.

 

[marcvic]

Could it be possible that he wasn't aware that friction assist was turned on? If I came across this video on YT, I'd raise an eyebrow at it (there was no indication in the video that the assist was used). I didn't even know that they had made a SRF-like assist.

The video itself is pure clickbait and given its title deliberately to give a negative impression of Forza.

Simply reposting it with the kind of comment made demonstrates little interest in using the video as anything other than an attempt to portray Forza in a negative light. I say this as someone with no dog in the Forza debate.

Now if it had been posted with a question as to what is going on and why its behaving in that way I would see this in quite a different light.

I didn't know about the existence of this "friction assist" at all.... but now that I know it I can say that this assist is a bad idea

Since when making a game more accessible to more player a bad thing ? I don't get purist sometimes. There is some people who are not interested in the stuff sim racers like. This option will be only available offline and in beginner lobby. There is nothing wrong with that. You use it if you want too. end of the story. This is a none issue.

Possibly, but then one would have thought he may have clarified what was going on before rushing off to post it in the comparison thread. It was posted for one reason only

 

[emula]

Someone can upload a video like that but with this "friction assist" disabled? I'm curious

 

[McLaren]

Puh-lease. Whether you actually knew about it or not would have never stopped you from posting that video based on your past record.

I’m sure if you try really hard you could probably find a video which shows how the car reacts off road when this assist is off.

After playing Pcars 2 all weekend, I did a few races in GT6. I could bounce off cars, barrier, drive off the grass, with very little penalty. That with 0 assist enabled. I think we have to come to the conclusion that once what we deemed as "simulator" is no longer it. GT and Forza are definitely more arcade than Iracing, Pcasrs 2 and Assetto Corsa.

That' being said I haven't played GT Sport beta. Maybe they change there whole physics driving mechanics but it doesn't seem to appear so by the video I saw online. I could be completely wrong. I am hoping to be wrong.
