Digital triggers though?

Remember when Slightly Mad said they'd at least look into bringing the game to the Wii U's successor after cancelling that version? Because they sure don't.
LOL they used lawyer speak to "trick" Wii U owners into buying into their crowdfunding game, then canceled the Wii U version, didn't offer refunds and laughed as they moved on so nah, i'm good without pCars.
The decision for digital triggers was weird but to be fair, Gran Turismo used the right analog stick for accelerating for a while.
I was going to say the same thing. I have no need for that game. Gear Club Unlimited looks pretty cool so far.
Other than this game, nope.
I need a rally game on the Switch (Sega pls port Sega Rally Revo even if it's an old game -_-).

Oh damn ...
I remember that.
And there's how they've handled their own forums and banning people for setup questions and bug related problems.

It wouldn't be a problem for me because I've always used the face buttons in Gran Turismo and other racing sims. Triggers always felt weird for accelerate/braking. I use triggers for shifting. However the shitty dpad on the switch pro and Joycon (lack thereof) would give me problems because I don't use the left analogue stick to steer.

Well this looks good

Huh. They said that? I wonder what happened to that? Did they just go silent and hoped people would forget about it?
Seems to have worked.
They were useful in F-Zero GX, too.
That's not true. You can hold a grudge against SMS for all the above reasons, they are all valid. But it is not true they did not offer refunds.
BTW, PC2 is not happening on the Switch.

I refuse to play a sim via anything else but proper analogue controls, so it's either a wheel or gyro for me -- sticks, triggers and other spring-loaded contraptions don't qualify.
No kidding. Burning bridges goes a long way.
Have SMS given an official statement on the matter?
No, but I don't see them reimagining the game to make it work on the Switch.
All GT's on ps2 and ps3 used analog face buttons. Which made that option much better.

Being analogue makes no difference because I'm not pressing the buttons in the same manner as the triggers. I full throttle by completely pressing down the button and let go to decelerate. I also feather by repeatedly tapping the gas/brake. People like using the triggers because you can regulate the travel like a gas/brake pedal.

That cant possibly work with traction control and ABS turned off.

For normal racing my TCS is 5 and my ABS is 1. For drifting TCS is 0 ABS is 1. As for repeatedly tapping let me clarify. I'm not tapping fast like Jab/Short in Street Fighter. It's in spaced intervals depending on the turn.

Gran Turismo 1 used the right stick for accel and decel, before we all had analog triggers this was the best thing to do.

That's because is a port of a phone game.

It's an enhanced version of a mobile game. I don't think it looks all that great, but we'll see.

Is even a sim racer? Looks arcade-ish to me.

I don't believe it's a pure sim. It seems closer to something like Forza Horizon or Driveclub.

Oh, well that makes sense then!
Maybe EA will throw Switch a bone and port the next NFS game. The one they did on Wii U was a pretty great port (of a pretty stupid game where racing isn't even the focus, but that's besides the point)

What the fuck is this shit?
So even with analog triggers and sticks you'd prefer to use digital buttons? That's crazy bro.

Do any of the previous mario karts have throttle that is analog controlled?

It's garbage and far from simulation

It's more of personal preference and what I'm accustomed to over the years. Not saying the way I prefer to play is better. I've been playing with this control scheme since the original GT.

Sorry, I was on an tablet and my post came off as gibberish. I meant to say that throttle is the last of my concerns, given I'd be using sticks for controls. Being able to keep proper racing line is way more important to me than analogue throttle. BTW, some RL racing vehicles have fairly binary throttle.
