I would like the car mirrors to be fixed to add realness to the first person driving experience.

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

This likely won't happen. Assuming they're actually telling the truth.

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

Why won’t the mirrors get fixed though I don’t know much about the crew motorfest devs

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:26 AM

#

Engine limitation.

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

Ok that makes some sense now but why wouldn’t they use the same engine that forza uses but for the ps5, newer Xbox’s, and pc

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:31 AM

#

I had hopes for you

#

Uh... appreciate the open-mindedness, I suppose. But that's not how it works. You can't just change a game engine in the middle of the game being up, because it'll easily set them back at least half of the time they took to develop the game.

So we're looking at 2 to 3 years at least to remake the game on a new engine.

#

Not to mention making a game on different engines per platform is just a waste of time and effort.

#

On top of that, you can't just use any game's engine. Most AAA games will have game engines their developers/publishers make themselves. So there's absolutely no chance of them sharing it with outsiders.

#

Well I feel they should’ve used a better engine issue when they first started the production of this game

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

Oh, foresight isn't their strong suit.

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

Yea

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

Using an engine from 2008 old for a game releasing in 2023 surely would go well

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

lol

#

I’m gonna buy a pc when for a horizon 6 launches but not just for the game but for pc gaming in general

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:42 AM

#

good, good. Join the superior platform.

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:42 AM

Fr bro you can also mod games on their and have a bigger variety of options for games

Also now that I thought of it again, they did initially make TCM as a TC2 DLC, but later ended up making it a separate game, so that's probably why they decided to keep using Dunia Power™️

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

Oh ok, they might make a new crew game years from now that’s better i think idk

#

We’ll see where technology takes us I guess 5 years from now

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:45 AM

#

There's a chance the next The Crew game (if there is even one, judging from how things are going) uses a new engine, because recently they've been looking to hire people with experience in Snowdrop engine.

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

Yea, that’s cool you know that

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

I've been in the community for a while so I was here when people all over mistook TCM for using snowdrop because of this KEK

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:50 AM

#

So snowdrop is the engine they use for TCM? Or is it a new engine they want to use?

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:51 AM

#

Probably the new engine, but definitely not TCM's.
They only started hiring for Snowdrop about a year before TCM's release. Which a sensible person would've known means there's no chance TCM uses Snowdrop.

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:52 AM

#

Ok

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:52 AM

#

Unfortunately a lot of people aren't sensible KEKW

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

Yea I’m not that knowledgeable behind the making or how video games work I just play them lol

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

You can't make an AAA game in a year, I'll tell you that. That's hard to pull off even for an indie game.

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:54 AM

#

Yea 2-3 years it takes right?

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 2:54 AM

#

Even 2 - 3 years is already fast as fuck. With how the development cycles are going we could assume TCM took about 5 years.

waxen goblet Jun 28, 2024, 2:54 AM

#

Yea there’s a game called test drive that’s coming on ps5 do you know anything about that?

#

It looks cool

willow pulsar Jun 28, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

We've been over this before. Mirrors have been an engine limitation since the beginning, and TCM is still on TC2's engine. Maybe a chance in the next game but zero chance here.

tidal ridge Engine limitation.

when taillights have better reflections than mirrors... I have some reasons to believe that it is not really an engine limitation, except maybe the engine is not able to render other cars. Anyway, it's sad to see this kind of issue in 2024.

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 4:15 AM

#

Oh, I never realized that. Yeah, it does make things make less sense, but engine limitation isn't really something you can just predict unfortunately.

willow pulsar Jun 28, 2024, 4:19 AM

#

they do purposely put a smear filter on the mirrors, they actually can reflect a bit better if they take those off, but the point is that it'll never be perfect, they can't get them to reflect other cars. I guess they want to cover it up in a real distracting way than let it look a bit more natural but still not fully functional. Honestly I think some people would be satisfied just from them taking the smear off even if it can't be used practically to gauge where other cars are.

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 4:22 AM

#

Really though, the smear filter is what bugs me off too. Not being able to reflect the dynamic objects is one thing, but why make it blurry?

willow pulsar Jun 28, 2024, 4:23 AM

#

to cover up the fact it can't reflect the dynamic objects. but that's the rub, I think more are taking issue with how blatant and off putting said cover up is.

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 4:24 AM

#

Yea, I also personally think just letting that fact out is better lol

#

That blur is just a Streisand effect on the non-working state of it KEK

willow pulsar Jun 28, 2024, 4:26 AM

#

pretty much, just draws even more attention to it.

#

they've already admitted defeat on mirrors with this engine 6 years ago when TC2 launched, I don't think it's gonna hurt to be honest and be like hey, we can't make them fully functional, but we can make them look better so they're not as distracting.

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 4:30 AM

#

When was their first official statement on the mirrors, again? In TCM?

willow pulsar Jun 28, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

on TC2's launch. straight up said they couldn't make the mirrors fully functional. they already publically admitted defeat, might as well make them not be so distracting, but still be open that they can never reflect other cars.

tidal ridge Jun 28, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

oh, yeah, they definitely should've just been honest way earlier in that case.

vale locust Jun 28, 2024, 7:38 AM

this will never happen because... DUNIA

winged oak Jun 28, 2024, 9:06 AM

#

No mirrors for this game. It was mentioned so many times already. Engine limitation and that's it

Really? So they only can hire people from Ubisoft other Studios because this engine has only been developed by Ubisoft MASSIV and only used for Ubisoft games, right? In principle I have to say that if they use an engine from 2008 and continue to develop it, there is nothing wrong with it. That might even be better than using another new engine that is not intended for racing games. Otherwise the same thing will happen as with EA with the Frostbite engine, which is a shooter engine that has also been used for NFS for years and the developers (EA Ghost, Criterion) have been complaining for years that the engine is just causing Problems with racing game.

#

but the old engine has to be further developed, don't know if they want that
