The 'truth' about B-spec

[SirAlanClive]

There are some obvious signs. Noone else seems to notice:

1. PD has decided to give away a very expensive car to one of the winners of a B-spec TIME TRIAL. This only applies to non-US versions of the game. There is no B-spec time trial in the game. It's a completely new way to play B-spec.

2. There are subtle differences in the US and non-US versions of the game. Only in B-spec as far as I can see. Non-US has Career while US has Experience. US users report 'pace-up' seeming to increase the frame rate of the game (the video speeds up), while I certainly don't see this in my European version. There may be sight variations in the code. We may be testing something for PD without knowing it.

This leads me to believe that B-spec is destined for much greater things (the Time Trials are fantastic...real skill-testers and imagine us competing against each other with our drivers online).

I certainly agree that the B-spec races ingame are no challenge. They are simply a way to become familiar with the controls and to 'educate' the drivers.

I predict new B-spec challenges in the seasonal events, once we're finished with the SLS Challenge (1. february), and an online b-spec racing option.

The truth is that B-spec is way more than what you get from doing the ingame races.

I agree with what you say SAC, I do hope there is more to B-Spec than what we have now, Seasonal events would be a BIG +. And the time trial sounds good.

i really hope there is a Multiplayer B-Spec mode...

racing against AI Bobs is really since they stop pushing after a certain point of the race and you can easily win...
also, the effect of driving with a tired Bob is not so effective... you can easily win a race with a tired Bob

SirAlanClive you are a visionary. I really hope those visions come to light and become a reality. Good stuff ! 👍

 

[SirAlanClive]

Why thank you Wrecku....I certainly hope so too

Note: I didn't use the word B**.....

What US racers are reporting "pace up" speeds up the game? Because they would be lieing.

I wouldn't call WRECKU a liar....he might wreck you....then again maybe you didn't....Maybe you accused him of being horizontal which I'm sure he is sometimes.

But if I did, I'd spell it right. He might take me more seriously then? 1.

I can't say I've noticed that 'pace up' makes the game look as if it's even slighty in 'fast-forward' or whatever WRECKU and others are experiencing. Yes, the car does go a bit faster, and the engine note higher, but only because Bob's pushing harder than he was before the 'pace up' command. That's the point of upping the pace, is it not?

 

[SirAlanClive]

Well whatever...you all agree that US edition has Experience and the non-US has Career....In fact, look at these...they're like different games!

I wonder why?
