Is the demo/beta still live? Says 8AM pacific time in OP.
They extended it for a day.
How long left?

If you're not aware, you can find all the entire OST list under music when you go to your library.
you need to render the pic to notice changes like that.

sorry DP.
Really thinking that having a steering wheel for this game will help me control the car better and ascend to the high SR havens. Any of you guys with a wheel have a Playseat Challenge? Considering one of those for this and a few other racing games I play (already have a T300 and T3PA set). How sturdy is it? Is it good for tall people?

In pits is an option to repair so I guess damage is in there for some races.
Good to know it's an established system.
I haven't gone "all in" on a racing game since GT3 (holy shit that was an incredible experience). Nothing has really grabbed me since. I enjoyed Grid but not on the same level. I will never forget muscling through endurance races in GT3 to get the Formula 1 car I really wanted. Then to actually use it and feeling like the time was well spent!
GT Sport might be that next step for me but I have my reservations. I do miss the A-spec system but sport mode has been perfect for the couple hours after wife and kid goes to bed.

Would have to be right? Any wagers on day one patch size? Im gonna go with 8gb.
had to run the endurance race twice, and in the second attempt I had to pass the BMW in the final corner for the gold. A little bummed there wasn't another gift car for all gold on stage 6, but that was a blast.
Maggiore is just an amazing circuit, going to end up doing thousands of miles there

Both visual and mechanical damage are in the game. I don't know what the parameters are for each.

On a controller, I'd honestly be very happy with either. On a wheel, GT is in another league.
Man, I really want to play this game without driver's aids but on a controller dealing with oversteer is freaking tough. I've cranked the steering sensitivity all the way up so my inputs are fairly close to what a real person could do, but there's so much delay and unpredictability that I struggle to keep it straight once oversteer starts.
Am I alone in this? Is practice all that's needed? I'm getting better at it but there are still times that I'm losing it that I could have and have saved while on a race track in real life.
Maybe I just need to buy a good steering wheel and setup already.
I play with with the DS4. I have no shame to say, I turn on TC to cars that seem to misbehave.
Just play how you wanna play, and play how it seems fun to play.

Won my second race (well, first one that counted because I got an save error). Started on pole and stayed first the entire race. Lago Maggiore is so damn awesome.

Im 1.86m and the Playseat Challenge gets my vote. Its sturdy enough and pretty comfy.
GT Planet did a whole article on the damage

I need the lowest level ABS as well.
@David Incorporated Esq. I backed the sensitivity down a notch or two from max. Perhaps try that. It's challenging though.The margin for error is pretty small. You really need to keep those slip angles down below the point where it'll hook.

Did you know if you use scapes and set the wheel direction and pan and speed the car is blurred in a turning path instead of a straight path?
And if you slow shutter speed right down you can create some really cool effects.

Im 1m88 and the Playseat Challenge is perfect for me. Also very convenient to just store away everything in one go.

Dragon Trail feels like a blend between Grand Valley and Trail Mountain. Very impressed with these new tracks.

Have you tried motion controls?

Yeah, been enjoying that one. Feels like a great test track because it can easily bring out so many of a car's specific characteristics. You've got the long sweeping turns back to back, wide curbs/kerbs that may or may not unsettle the car, the long downhill straight to the hairpin, and the upward slope before reaching the final straight where if you don't position yourself right or properly manage your throttle and even tap another car you might easily spin off the track.
Took me a little while to come to terms with it and I've still got plenty of room to improve, but it's been a fun process to learn, and relearn with different cars.

The graphical hit was expected, the important thing is nailing the scale and the feeling of being inside a moving car. If GT nails it I'm going to live in the Nordschleife.
I am so in.
Same issue here.

Yeah.
Gold announcements aren't always announced.
Oh, I'm sorry. I took "track" as music track. You probably meant the racing tracks. I'm not sure if you're about to skip/choose specific tracks.
Can anyone help with this?
CosmicRomancer
Member
You're right. I do mean music track
I probably should have used a different word to avoid the obvious ambiguity.

Ah cool. Thank you!
I can't believe it was extended. Couldnt play yday night (had visits sleeping in the living room couch), didn't play in the morning because my gf was watching some netflix boring comedy (either friends or how i met your mother)... Was sad for that but was ok because I pre ordered the game so it's fine to wait... Watched almost 3 hours of master chef tonight, then went to cook something (didn't really need because I already have food for tomorrow)... Now I am going to sleep and just found out I could have played some more. Anyway, gonna try to play tomorrow morning.
One day without playing and I am already missing it. Probably the only game I am getting this holiday (maybe wolfenstein to kill some nazis). Gonna grind GT til I find PES 2018 under 25 euros.

The game thought you went offtrack and gave you a penalty for that, it did not relate this incident with the previous one that sent you offtrack.
I hope they can tweak their algorithm to better filter these cases.

See to be honest, between the closed beta and open demo, I'm actually fairly certain that, despite being totally different from past games, Polyphony Digital actually completely nailed this. It feels really good.
GHG

You do not get a 10 second penalty for going slightly off the track like that.

Just have the 30 lap endurance to get a bronze in... I'm not sure if I have the skill or will.

For some reason Driveclub looks visually more impressive to me.
Am I crazy/delusional?
This demo is beautiful btw, far from ugly but Driveclub imo set the bar so high.
