The ultimate summit for precise modelling and rendering this gen.
 
Taycan is a Turkish word which means lively young horse first time hearing such a word since I speak Turkish. It has to do with horses. I think the word is still used by people who raise horses in Turkey I have to look into it because when I first heard Taycan im like what a ridiculous name.

Porsche chose the name because it pays homage to its emblem which is the horse which makes sense but the name comes as Toucan to me which is the tropical bird LOL

I wish the Porsche LMP2000 can at least feature in a racing game such a shame that not many people even know about this car. Its dna can be seen in the Porsche Carerra GT and the Porsche RS Spyder.
Apologies for what was a vague statement. The Taycan part is absolutely fine, it's the use of Turbo on an EV which is ridiculous.
 
You seem to be forgetting that it takes considerably more effort to model a car for a mobile game compared to a full console game

Then lets take a look at Forza 7's then, if we are operating under the assumption that a mobile game is not a fair comparison (which, I can see) ?

Kind of does blow GT Sport out of the water a fair bit, but then again, half of the historic GT cars (Which really, is the biggest boon with a good use of the Porsche license) would be pushed into Group X by virtue of PD's crap class structure anyway, so yeah.

Those models look like garbage.
 
1. What year Real Racing 3 released? 2013.
2. Since when Porsche starts opening up the contracts to the rest of devs? Around 2016.
3. Who starts the Porsche exclusivity deal that effectively blocks the other devs since the 90s? EA.

Atleast do some research.

Great to see an new partnership between Porsche and a games dev team like PD.

Kunos Simulazione also got a great partnership with Porsche in 2016,being assetto the first genuine sim Game to offer the german brand again after EA exclusivity.

Was also great to see that Kunos made the sims of the "Porsche experience centers" with the assetto corsa pro programme.

True, but atleast it would have company with the 330 P4, the mark IV, the Daytona Coupe and the XJR 13 and would be used in the same event you mentioned...The Living Legend will be another modern concept car relegated to a class which i couldn't give less of a crap about, like the tons of VGTs without interior that i have never ever driven before and have no interest in driving in the future.
Those cars would be no match for the 917.
 
Why not just please everybody and release the Porsche Unleashed pack, plain and simple all of them:). PD will take a month vacation at Stuttgart and laser scan the museum for good.

not even forza is a fair comparison because t10 exports the production of the models to external companies, in addition to having a workforce of over 400 people and therefore they can afford to have many cars in a reasonable time at the expense of the quality of construction, that is not comparable to the PD;) .
Ps:however there is no need to let people know all the time that you don't like the game:lol:.

Yes it was... but only if you paid for the 3 DLC packs or the season pass, otherwise it was only 3 or 4 cars ;).

...and so does PD.

in addition to having a workforce of over 400 people

That doesn't really matter? Considering that not all 400 people are working on cars, both companies have specific departments for that.

they can afford to have many cars in a reasonable time at the expense of the quality of construction

I mean...I can point out the 930 Turbo's headlights, and the FT-1's hexagonal exhaust tips as errors in Polyphony's modeling that they still haven't fixed, and chances are, won't. The modeling process might not be as infallible as people expect it to be?

Ps:however there is no need to let people know all the time that you don't like the game

Free forum, I can criticize the game as much as I want.
 
Assetto Corsa is unrivalled for Porsche content. Forza has plenty of cars too, but when it comes to the driving experience AC is so far ahead of Gran Turismo and Forza. There is a totally different feeling to driving their fantastic machines there.

Won't be surprised they could add the Macan knowing PD:lol:
When something like the Macan comes to a game it is usually a promotion with the publisher or such.

When Maserati approached Kunos a few years ago about being in Assetto Corsa, the developer had to turn them down as they could not make time to squeeze them in. Maserati came back several months later and said that if you add the Levante, which is their biggest selling model, you can have access to whatever you want from them.

Yeah but we are not talking about exagonal headlights which may be some sort of a lod bug,in forza you have far more poorer material shaders and sometimes totally sproportionated cars.



Like i said before when it comes to car modeling PD are the best,it's a fact.

Yeah Forza 7’s selection of Porsches definitely does put GT sport in shame.

And “x number of employees” isnt an excuse because GT sells way more than enough to hire more employees.

What should matter should consumer is the price, both those games cost 60 bucks so we should be able to compare them.

That's a rendering issue not a modeling one. Those errors don't exist outside of live gameplay.

Yes,they give for free the 3 SUV Cars from Porsche.

But i understand that a small dev company like Kunos goes the DLC way before digital Bros buyed Kunos.
Anyway,now you have also the full edition of the Game with all Cars and tracks launched in a single disc

But don't forget that pretty much all of the cars were added through paid DLC, not free updates.

I bought it on release, and luckily got the season pass when it was on sale ;).
