And these days, studios often do remasters to give art direction and development practice time to a team that maybe hasn't done a whole game before. If Sony wanted to try and do a new arcade racer of some kind with one of their teams, getting the to remaster the rough edges of Arctic Edge would be a low stakes way for them to learn.
Car sounds in Pacific Rift and Apocalypse are literally night and day.
the ones in Apocalypse sound so much stronger and just rougher and badass.
tho the MS:PR and even MV car sounds have a certain charm to them.
the Racing Truck sound and Buggy sound from MS:MV live rent free in my head.
Yeah those PR rally cars were my favourite. I was always online in that fake Escudo, causing chaos and murdering bikers. Good times
I also took the handling from this video I made: https://youtu.be/QTolPBnJCbU?si=1y0jlLUYqeTYNtYy and tweaked it a bit. This car has working downforce and everything. I could've made the sound more accurate, but eh, this is good enough.
Commissioned car. Also if I seem inactive, it's because I work a lot, and barely have time to do much. I'm a...
Didn't knew mods existed for Hot Pursuit, tho is it for the 1st one released I assume ? (Not the remastered)
I want a Red Bull RB6 mod
Oh no, the mods for HP2010 go far beyond just this
Amazingly enough
If you could find a model for it, I assume it'd be easy to make a car replace mod out of it
So they made the mods for both version ? That's cool ngl
Not sure if it's for both versions however
I believe almost all mods are made for HP2010 remastered
The music
A couple months ago MotorStorm has been confirmed to be Playable on RPCS3! And not only that, it can also be enjoyed on the Steam Deck with just a few hiccups!
Using the Steam Deck as a reference, any system slightly stronger than the deck should be able to play the game comfortably.
You may also use the available patches to enhance a little b...
Well @next crane its now fully playable
I think Imma mod the game then I'm very curious about what can the community did and can do in the futur
im not good at RPCS3
also idk how to dump discs nor do i know how to "borrow" PS3 games (physical ones at least)
unless they simplified it for MSMV specifically
hey if MSMV can run "natively" with no big setup wizardry
i'll happily try it
anything to blasting down The Grizzly in a Buggy listening to Before I Forget by Slipknot
same for MS:PR and blasting down Caldera Ridge in a Rally Car listening to Stompbox by The Qemists
or MS:AE (which i can play easily) and blasting down Anguta Glacier in a Snow Machine listening to Propane Nightmares (Celldweller remix) by Pendulum
mods can be insane. I hope to be able to experience it too
I'm not sure, but there is some external disc readers that jacks in by USB 3.0 that RPCS3 considers as a regular PS3 DISC Reader
You can run these games like that too if i'm correct (maybe its better to ask at their disc)
I'm looking into it rn and damn there is a whole freeroam mode with live time events as cops & racers
Wow, poeple fixed the one request people had from the free roam mode
this one looks very nice
Imma look to instal and play it
Have fun with it man
The hardest part is to not fuck up the files 
tho I got some cars locked behind Bounties now
No CCXR 😭
Holy... smokes
BMW M3 GTR With the OG sound from MW2005
i dont think they will answer a question "how do i make my thing run .iso files?"
pretty sure they will believe i mean going "YARRRRRG"
On another note
made this MSMV inspired scene on GoreBox (i dont live up to this game's name)
You know there is no shame to ask (just don't ask for pirated files, just ask how can you play with OG PS3 disc there is some way to do so if I remember correctly
Holyyyy
hot
i hope i can ask how to run games if i cant dump them
DAYUM
Modded nfs dont work with MP unfortunately :/
Yeah... but when I'll restore it to its OG files i'll let you know
I may be a frequent Luna player but the skin I'm looking forward to the most is the Venom skin
(It's actually more chaotic)
Not too shabby
Managed to do a P4 for Vietnam
Nice circuit, I like how fast it is
Though I will say, man I crash so much
Vietnam? The track that never happened?
Yeah it's weird that i never knew F1 raced in Vietnam
Hell yeah, Turkiye power
I wish they had Iran in the game
Finally after not playing for weeks, i bought the massive Rs6🗣️
ts fire
Speeeeed
that is correct, F1 2020 has Atoi
because they were supposed to race in it for the season
really? Did it never happen?
Pandemic
The track has since been abandoned in disrepair
2020 was mostly Europe and only left Europe for Bahrain
Ahhh
Damn man
That is a shame
It's a neat track, I like it
It's like a high speed Monaco
But it's definitely more fun to do qualifying on than racing
Pffft, being paired with Kevin would be quite the challenge
Must say, F1 2020 mods are quite good, but I am curious about certain things
And whether if I will be able to change them in time for when the 2021 season starts
I only really got the chance to do that one race
Apparently the game got removed from the PS Store
Ironically the pre-set character I chose looks quite a bit like me
By the way this isn't a recent photo, as I've reached acclaim level 7 since this photo
Kimi short king lmao
Hehehe
Mr. Emotionless
Don't tell anyone, but he invited me to his House and fed me beer till I blacked out lol
Even by the time I woke up, he was still drinking himself lol
@jaunty crater This is a friend's season 2 where he got perez as teammate, and he di amazingly
he dih amazingly 🎋
Wow Daniel Ricciardo back at Red Bull
Hehe, indeed. Couldn't stay away it seems
Wonder what driver transfers I'll have
He did indeed. This is the alternate timeline

WHAT
Can't wait to try that out
Well EA wont make one
EA isn't releasing any new NFS for the meantime 🥀
Its just a gamemode it's not actual cops being added
Indeed, so this game really has become the spiritual successor
bro who made this 😭
the eyelids 😭
Man is trying to make the next GT7 car
though judging by the Aprilia logo on the banner, that car probably has some genuine power
high revving motorbike engine with maybe 200hp
but the cars probably 800kg
idk
"I'm fast"
that's a Nissan Figaro
cuz its an assetto corsa mod
understandable xD
day 2 of playing F1 without ABS
i think im starting to figure this shit out
dare i say im actually quicker to stop in some braking zones than with it
others its a complete disaster but we dont talk about it
also making dives on the inside is harder than me when i see dua lipa
i keep locking up
Real shit
And if you don't have flashback, it's nigh impossible to actually make the overtake
Man you're really brave to try this
I’m learning to utilize the runoffs well XD
I was going 180 controlled spins in the vegas runoff in the rain yesterday
Wow, thats honestly impressive to be able to control your car when you go off
Oh it's so important in any racing game to learn to crash well
You see the F1 drivers at baku and Vegas learning how to give up on a corner before you've hit a wall
Exactly what Piastri forgot at Baku this season because he was flustered by the bad start
yeah ive started thinking about doing that on instinct when i lock up
the lap is lost anyway, why try to salvage it and break the car
It's impressive that you're learning this much about proper racing technique
crazy
: )
@somber elbow i actually did it lol
BIG TRUCK
Eyyyy, that's beautiful
i swear Toshi and Kumiko or racers in MCLA too
Toshi is the guy from the tuners in Downtown i think and
wait no the girl was Fumiko in MCLA
the one who does the Hollywood best of 9
or whatever
By the way mario
I tried to play F1 2020 without TCS or ABS
And I couldn't even make it past any turn without spinning out
I genuinely have no idea how anyone can play withoyt them
Gotta say, I'm losing the plot with F1 game
I don't see the point of playing it if I am not losing and that I can't even drive without nearly all assists
shi looking good
Trucks real big
takes a whole lot of getting used to
What game
euro truck sim 2
But what game is it
You should buy it
Why? i already own it and gotten 1.352 hours on it
She's dumb af
yeah i know
man, phantom liberty
what a DLC
peak peak
i already loved cyberpunk and after playing phantom liberty, i love it even more
its nice when your favorite game gets even better
@pastel ocean @jaunty crater I have begun a new career. I began with turning off ABS, TCS, start assists, DRS, ERS and Fuel assists. Then I chose Sauber Cherouz for the 6 race F2 career, and I set the difficulty to 60 to get where I am. Ironically the F2 cars are harder to drive than the F1 cars. I thought 60 would be enough for a test, but I utterly dominated F2 and won both WDC and WCC.
After finishing F2, I chose Haas for my team and now, we're doing it properly like Mario suggested. And Honestly, I did get used to it after a bit of testing. ABS makes turning brakes difficult and TCS makes it hard to gas out of corners where I come out in 2nd gear. But I have been able to somewhat master it, and i still have rewind on just as an assistent
In terms of cars, the Haas already feels much better to drive
great news that youre getting used to it
Hehe, indeed. Thanks alot. I hope to do realistically decent at Haas. I don't wanna be coming too high up, that's for sure.
@somber elbow I found a video of max driving Monaco in F1 2020 in my feed
Holy shit man
So that's how you do it
Can't believe we were playing the same game
he made it look easy
but i know for a fact i cannot even on the game get that close to the walls
and he does it in real life too
😭
Yeah I never could either
He was going balls to the walls
Nailed every turn
Made it so close to the wall
I know he was doing qualifying pace so that's not actually how he's drive Monaco normally
But the fact rhag he can do it both in game and in real life
Unreal
i mean of course but you can only see how a driver drives monaco when hes qualifying or in the lead no?
otherwise with these cars youre just driving what the guy in front of you is doing
That's true, that's very true
You can only drive like this only under special conditions
This not being one of them
I was spending so much time behind Sainz
f1 has made me realize that dogfighting with other cars and going side by side is fun but chasing the perfect lap when youre in clear air is the most fun of all
That's quite true
Honestly
This game has made me realize just how fun racing can be
You'd never think driving around circles would be this engaging until you've achieved true zen
Like Mansell said once
"I was driving and then it was like suddenly something bashed my head in and time crawled to a halt"
"I had plenty of time to change gear, plenty of time to find the perfect line. And then my engineer said that I was a second a lap faster suddenly"
That's what driving the F1 games feel like
That's what I'm feeling like when I drive without the assists
It's so risky, yet.. so weirdly fun
I do wonder still how realistic if at all it is for a back marker team to score points
I mean how often does Haas score points
They've not done badly for 2025
So realistically with an aggressive enough driver it's possible?
How often do you finish in points?
i havent gotten around to playing the career mode in F1 25
and well in F1 2020 last i played i did a full F2 season with PREMA alongside Mick Schumacher, won the championship so Redbull recruited me straight to the main team
in F1 2025 i decided to play it a bit more properly so im in an Alpine, but i gotta play through the career to tell you
i did 6 race one in 25 too
Makes sense
but i went into alpine cause i wanted to replace doohan
Yet you went to Alpine?
who isnt driving anymore
to not mess up the grid yeah
colapinto hadnt been added to the game yet back then
Feels like you should have chosen Alpine academy
so i "fixed" the grid including myself in a way
That's fair enough
Reason I chose Haas was something similar
Kevin is on and off wirh Haas
i wanted haas but replacing esteban or bearman didnt stick right with me
So Grosjean stays for last season before 2022
and then i thought aston
And I'm their new rookie
Yeah I had a similar thought process
I wondered and weighed my options
Mercedes: No
Ferrari: With my F2 performance I'd easily replace Vettel but that'd be too good to start at
Red Bull: Not likely
Mclaren: No
Alphatauri: I'd go with rhem if I had chosen Red Bull academy
Alfa Romeo: Already did it
Williams: Too slow and not realistic
I wanted to go for Renault too but I don't know, Yellow Renault isn't as cool as Blue Alpine
Not to mention, Ocon was new for 2020 I think
So it'd be disrespectful to replace ricciardo or him
So made sense to head for Haas
I like Haas so I gave them an attempt
I'd likely move to Renault for 2021 season to replace Alonso
Alonso could go to Aston early instead
But we'll see what rhe driver moves will be
screenshot from a bit earlier
i somehow undercut hamilton and got to 8th, but as soon as my softs started degrading he got past me really quickly and climbed all the way to 7th so im still 9th
i pitted lap 38 for hards
the alpine might be so slow that its easy to drive without ABS around melbourne
welp tsunoda decided to crash into me, put me into the wall and broke my front wing
there goes that race
I am sorry to hear that
I must say I appluad you for tryingt or ace from cockpit cam
I might be able to as well if I can increase the camera's height a bit
Right now it is barely enabling me to see over the steering wheel
Still though, good job with the Alpine, being able to undercut. I am wondering about strategies myself
The qualifying went decently...
But then the race itself went as wrong as it possibly could... it rained.. and I had no traction control.. nor any traction in the rain...
I genuinely think I'm gonna off myself for this. I was spinning out in every corner and were it not for Flashback, I would have DNF'ed like 50 times during this race. No fucking traction at all
Losing to Grosjean is embarrassing enough, but then I had to make it worse by running out of fuel on the final straight and Sainz, Antonio and Russel passed me too...
Why the fuck did I have no traction at all..
My fingers hurt from all the adjusting I did...
You either have traction or you don't..
I can't drive like this
Guess it's a realisic result if nothing else
Are you practicing on the Simulator before you arrive at a race weekend?
I did all the free practice sessions
I never used the simulation option
I don't know what it is
Quick race mode
Man...
F1 game is really aimed at people who pour a LOT of time into it. Or you will be leaning on the rewind
I really don't want to
But I just don't understand how I sometimes lose traction so suddenly..
I have no hope
I'm willing to put in the time
But I just don't understand how I lose traction so easily and understeer every time..
It's not fair..
Practice is the only way to learn racing games
I try my best and I still fuck up
Just when I thought I had a decent handle on it
2nd gear spin fucks me up
Yeah the games are like that
Trust me, practice will help you shape your throttle inputs to keep that under control.
Without being in the cars, it becomes trial and error
I practiced alot in bahrain
I practiced alot in Australia as well
Hell, the F2 cars are harder to handle through corners
And I managed that relatively fine
But this rain just royally screwed me over
Rain is like that. My advice, don't get too bummed out by a failure, your're a Haas F1 rookie, it is rare to smash it in the first season
Hehe, yeah I never came to haas expecting immediate results
But the qualifying P8 did bring up my hopes
Rain is just so much more brutal than I thought
And this was Australia. A relatively easy track
God have mercy on my soul if it rains in Zandvoort or worse, Monaco
I always find Australia a nightmare
really? you too?
It was deceptively difficult in F1 challenge 99
And it's not too easy here either
It's easy to get around, but difficult to be fast one
All the corners can and will spin you out
The lines are super narrow, Sector 2 demands such inch perfect precision. its tough
I was super fast on Red Bull ring however, so I look forward to that
Yeah sector 2's chicane always catches me off gaurd. And in rain, may god have mercy
every corner will want to spin you out too
Bahrain will be a bit easier on most sections, besides the Esses after turn 1
Oh and the hairpins before the two straights
They're 2nd gear and hard to pull out of
Bahrain has good space, you can miss an apex and still stay on the track
t11 - 13 always catches me out in 2018
But I think thats the Toro Rosso i am driving, it was fine for me in the quick race in other cars
Yeah it has good sum of lines to take
I gave it a try on time trial with 3 different cars actually
2020 mercedes, 2020 Williams and 2019 F2
The Mercedes was faster, no shock, but the F2 was hardest to drive
That hairpin just always catches me out
I'm gonna go and practice with the Haas as well
You're inspiring me to get back into my 2018 career... I think i have a bogey track coming up though
Hehe
it's fun to do a career run
Especially in the worse teams
Makes you appreciate your little victories more
And wonder whether if it's the team failing you or you failing them
Actually, is it realistic for a backmarker team to somewhat regularly make it into points?
Just compare yourself to the other car
2020 haas wasn't too far off of the grid
Yeah I was faster than grosjean on qualifying. But I messed up on the race
Maybe besides 2021
You're a rookie, in more than one way, so thats even more realistic
Yeah quite true. The rain truly humbled me
I'm a rookie and this time without any assists so I am doing it realistically
I'll do my best for Bahrain
hopefully some points
We're decent on upgrades. Should get some good ones for Vietnam
I did like the Vietnam circuit
Thanks for your words of ecnourgement too
You're basically my team principal calming me down after I come to the paddock fuming with how the weekend went
If only Alpine had returned my emails applying for the job...
Hahaha
Tweetman the new TP of Alpine
You'd do a great job
Cause I am already doing much better in bahrain
In time trial I was able to put down a lap of 1:30.8
Which is only barely off my time with the Mercedes
And Track Acclaimation, Fuel and Tyre practices have all been successful and purple
Geunther Tweetman Steiner: Enough means enough
You better not smash my focking door!
Hahaha, I don't even know who he said that to
Take care of yourself for now. Heading out
btw do you do one shot or full quali?
i find climbing up through q1 q2 q3 so much fun
I do the short qualifiying one
I wish I had that option frankly
But the Q1, Q2, Q3 system is a relatively new one
back in 2020, they still used the old Qualifying format
One shot would just not be good enough
I do definitely prefer the newer qualifying system to the older one
it's more engaging
I am never playing F1 2020 again...
That was quick
It's just not fair..
Why do I have literally no grip compared to AI
Traction control is basically off or on
I have no in-between, and I have no pace
When I think I am doing well in practice and time trial
I have no race pace
This isn't fucking fair
What's your difficulty at
no fucking way these cars would be such hell to gain grip with...
Fucking nothing, I was smoking the AI on this difficulty before
I mean I don't play the game so I don't know how to help
Nobody can help
no amount of practice can either
I am good at this circuit supposedly
Yet I have no pace at all
I am spinning out even in 3rd sometimes
Despite the fact that the AI accelerates out of the corners just fine..
I have rewinded the race so many times..
I can't start my races for shit
I can't defend
I keep forgetting to close my ERS
I am genuinely fucking useless
Oh wait you picked the Haas didn't you
It has nothing to do with who I picked
I'd be useless with any team
I cannot for the life of me throrttle manage
Hell, I keep forgetting to use my fucking ERS
I can't even underfuel so I can fuel manage and get an advantage
Literally, I can't do shit
I make Mazepin look amazing
I don't believe that
You were doing so good in the Alfa Romeo
The only difference I see is that you switched to that shitbox Haas
I feel like I'm missing something here
Oh no
I was doing Alfa in terms of a lie
I had many assists on
I was constantly overperforming no matter how high the AI was set
I thought I was doing well, but I was living a lie
Mario told me that I am not driving properly and I cannot go back anymore
The Haas is better than the Alfa
Yet the assists have made me useless
I just can't believe how little grip I ahve regardless of how hard I work
I just can't with this
How the fuck is anyone supposed to race competitively without TC
I just don't understand why I am so slow
I can't even completre the fuel and tyre practices on Vietnam
What the fuck
Bahrain ended up... surprisingly decent
I qualified P14 initially, but was able to make up to P11 via an undercut and heavy pushing in the start and end. And just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Leclerc had an engine failure and I was able to get P10 on the 2nd to last lap
I sweated hard for that
And Vietnam is far worse
I don't think I can't handle this
POINT!!!
🎉🎉🎉
brought me to P16 in Driver standings
And brought Haas above Williams and Alfa
Alphatauri has 2 points
Problem is, Vietnam isn't Bahrain
And I have no pace at Vietnam
I keep crashing and spinning out
I should have gotten P9 on Bahrain too
I had initially passed Ricciardo but he passed me on a turn and damaged my front wing
So I was slow and Gasly got ahead
The throttle management is just unfair man
And the car understeers regardless of my smooth steering
So I can neither get out of corners fast, nor can I get a good line
The braking points at Vietnam always lock me up too
I genuinely don't know what to do anymore
I even brought differential to 50% and increased throttle linearity to 50%
Well you don't give up
I am failing practices
At this point I might as well skip most of them and just do the race
Hehe, thanks by the way
I guess this is what it's like being a rookie and in a bad car
I'm the F2 champion and I'm being slaughtered at F1
I've becoem Nyck De Vries
Play formula E game
Pffft, that'd be the next realistic step
Are there even Formula E games
I know there are FE cars in other games
There was a phone game, that put you up against ghosts of the real drivers. During races. It was bad.
That's definitely quite poor compared to what F1 gets
And I think there's an official dlc in Rfactor or something
My best bet would be Assetto Corsa
That too yeah
I will say
AC doesn't have anything official.
I might need to tune the car a bit
Lengthen the 2nd and 3rd gears
Either that or practice short shifting
So I don't wheelspin out of corners
I already have no pace anyway
May as well at least not crash the car
There are high quality enough mods
Yeah but I want an official, per car generation, game
Gen4, then a yearly DLC with new tracks and updates etc
If gran turismo can really nail a lot of the detail of regen braking, a dedicated FE game would be incredibly unique
Like Brook told me
If you want a good experience of a particular car type
You need to play the dedicated game for it
You wont get a better GT3 experience than on AC comeptitzione
And you won't get a better F1 experience than the EA F1 games
And so, to get a good FE experience, we need a dedicated title
I need to practice every circuit now
I will never be able to finish a season
And you won't get a better Renault Avantime experience than GT7
@jaunty crater @pastel ocean @fervent shoal Now this is a result worth talking about
This race was proof that miracles do exist. I underfeuled the car and went on a rich rev charge on the first few turns to make up alot of positions, then have a bit of a fight and back and forth with Leclerc and Albon for P8. I managed to keep ahead of him but Albon, Sainz and eventually Norris all passed me. However, just for my luck, on lap 10 turn 1, Sainz had engine failure and caused a safety car. Before Safety car could be deployed, I managed to pass Albon and Norris, then caught up to the back of Ricciardo during safety car. I had been in lean revs and saved up tons of battery and fuel. Soon as lights went green, rich revs and ERS on, I overtook Ricciardo and defended like hell for P5 for the final two laps
Given how much I was crashing during practices, I am super proud of this one. I managed to keep it clean and focused and even drove in Cockpit cam for better corner estimation
Bravo!!!!!!
Tweetman Steiner is proud xd
Admittedly I did lower the difficulty from 80 to 75 for the race
But I do think i do deseerve that P5
I was so focused my leg had gone completely numb
Burnout Legends with Refined Visuals and fixed engine sounds
Wow, that looks really sharp. The game has been transformed
Yep. No more High Pitched engine sounds and better visuals
Man. Taht'd make the game worth an experience for sure. A reexperience even
If you want the links, let me know. I have the GitHub on Speed Dial LMAO
Interesting thing I've noticed about F1 2020 is that cockpit cam makes the no assists driving easier
Thats not how the song goes, Ubisoft.
Very well. Link me the mods, and I'll download the game from a website I can get it from
Lmao
I'll need to make some space on my system
Pffft
Guys is this true?
Well done man
I actually read it a bit ago but I was in the middle of a race so I didn’t take the time to comment then
Now I’m finished and all I have to tell you is that results come when you persist and don’t give up
Sometimes it just isn’t your day and you magically wake up tomorrow and are 10 times faster
Also we all have tracks that we think we suck on, but what works for me is that I try to forget it when I have to race there
Sometimes you can actually trick your mind into not being such a downer before you even get to race
oh that's nice. vietnam was my bogey track, hated racing it. Great to see you doing so well, reject the call up when Ferrari come knocking
Yeah I thankfully had rhe chance to revise my head before the actual race. So now I am actually feeling how I should
I definitely am glad I keep persisting thanks to your words
Hahaha
Yeah Haas is the go-to for now
Until I move to either Aston or Alpine
I am enjoying it quite a bit
I struggled badly myself before
But I trained my fingers at last
Now I know how to race in this game
Never do more than one race per day
I should balance F1 and schoolwork so my head works right
One thing I should remember
I won't ever push this hard again
Never push where it'd just become a game of rewind till I get it right
First power pack event
That’s pole
They gave GT Sophy outlap discipline I’m impressed
She likes to be a cunt to you in the race meaning she’s not afraid to bump into you to get past but hey
Not too evil
First race in the dlc
I wish I could say I ran into the sunset and that was it but
For 2 whole laps I was in a 4 car dogfight for first
With each car trying to overtake me from a different line and not hesitating to borderline pit maneuver me into a wall
Multiple position swaps but I ran away with it after lap 2 sector 2 in Suzuka
They might need to tone down the aggressiveness just a notch cause the bumping is a little much but it’s fun
Gotta say the Max Verstappen 296 does look great
Hopefully something good I could do
this game just always suprises me at how beautiful it looks
The map looks amazing
The truck models have aged tho
Makes you wonder how much they could do if they made ETS3
True
This is the first standard game to get the 296 gt3 too
@pastel ocean @jaunty crater @fervent shoal Yet another rather decent result
The qualifying went unexpectedly badly. I don't know I felt quick but I qualified really low. But I made the same strategy as before in Vietnam, and pushed hard on the first lap and then bidded my time. Kvyat had an engine failure and caused a safety car. Allowed me to get up to Norris, then had a battle with him as Sainz and Ocon caught up. On the final couple of laps, I was fighting Sainz hard
The tire life loss is so quick with this game. One lap everything feels amazing and next lap I feel like I am already losing grip
ooo nice
Eyyy, roof conversion in AC. Didn't know some mods could have it
V12
SLR McLaren.
@jaunty crater Here's a bit of a thought process that might interest you
So I am a rookie driver for Haas in 2020
in 2021 they'll get Urakali sponsor and Mazepin will join. Would I realistically be allowed to stay on or would Mick Schumacher be a much more interesting person for them to add?
If so, do you think I should move to Alpine or Aston Martin?
If I move to Alpine, Alonso will go to Aston early
and if I go to Aston, Vettel would have retired 2 seasons early
depends on your performance, dont you think that they would likely keep a constant points scoring rookie?
also you might not even want to stay yourself
Taht is true. Reason neither Kevin nor Grosjean were kept were because Mazepin was coming and neither previous drivers were scoring much. So it made sense to hire the upstart and promising rookie, Mick
grosjean also had his accident
Yeah that's quite true. I mean obviously our 2021 Haas car performance will be different from the real 2021 Haas car performance, but even still, if I feel confident enough for a championship, I might jump ship
this is something I love about newr F1 games from 24 onwards
the secret meetings and contract details make it much more immersive
Wasn't that in 2022?
yeah ive set a clause for my alpine contract
i basically promised to them i would become jesus christ compared to gasly
after tsunoda assasinated me in melbourne tho ill have to work harder for it
2020 bahrain
Pffft. Tsunoda is channeling is inner Kvyat
so what'll happen if you do achieve it in-time? Will you become number 1 driver and be paid more?
theyll beg me to stay and probably gain interest from competitors as well
Very nice. What do you plan? What are your finishes like so far?
the more i outperform gasly the more say i have in terms of car development
if i were to join mclaren for example
i had 10% say compared to norris/piastri
with gasly i now have like 45% already
That definitely has an effect with the general team performance yeah
So do you plan to stick with Alpine or move up to another team?
Oh by the way, do you not rewind when you play?
What difficulty rating do you have the AI on
i cranked mine up to 85 since im still experimenting
85 is really high compared to me
i personally rewind if i make a silly mistake but i try to use it as little as possible
im trying to be honest
Do you rewind when you crash?
for example i didnt rewind someone kamikazing into me
if im alone and i have a brain fart and put it into the wall i will rewind, if i do this mistake 3 times ill just let myself crash the next because i deserve it
I do want to do that to be honest
I keep reducing my rewind count as much as I can
but admittedly, I spin out more than I'd like so I still use it alot
AI is on 75 too, I wil be cranking that up however
I really wanna be good
and I am sure I'll achieve that sometime
Must admit, i do not look forward to having to feather the throttle all across Monaco for 17 laps
These guys are endorsed by pay day now!?
Hell yeh
I'm not playing anymore Roblox til Dan Banzozuki or whatever his last name is gone. For those of you hadn't seen his interview, I recommend doing so. He literally dodged EVERY question and allegations of the predators on the platform. Absolutely disgusting
Only thing I'll do at least is Grab Car Crusher 2s recent car then I'm done with the platform for now
Sound mod
But yeah it sounds good
CCX.
Ah. Even the base game one is good however
I forgot to turn on PSP Color Filter, but here's how the reflections are supposed to look like
Definitely is an imprvement overall
Ngl the filter makes it more akin to its age. I like it
So I forgot to turn on PSP Color Filter. It's supposed to look like this. I'll do one when I get up
Holy crap. That was a shockingly good qualifying. We were rapid throughout the weekend, during practices and even during qualifying. Considering this circuit, this car suits is shockingly well. our upgrades have also put us above Alphatauri
Very few spins too. It was pouring down in FP1, so I got very used to throttle mangement around Zandvoort
The first time I've actually qualified top 10
bought it 👍
welcome to the motorfest 🗣️
crew motorzest
Cought someone lacking in gta 😭
pffft
Pffft, bad timing
he was jus healing bro trust
damn this game pretty.
Taht is really nice
Ubisoft
Ubisoft
My gosh dude.
A pretty decent race if I do say so myself. I was able to keep perez behind but man is it so easy to make mistakes around this track. It costs you so much time and speed. I am generally fast around sector 1 but everywhere else everyone seems alot more competent
Hehehe
Thanks alot Tweetman Steiner
This was deifnitely my best overall race so far
With how consistent I managed to be across both qualifying and race
Esteban Ocon got driver of the day, and given how many positions he made up, I ain't surprised
Might be time to ping the ai difficulty up by one or two points , since you're catching up with the physics engine and outperforming your teammate so dramatically
That's a fair argument
I was on 78 for qualifying and went to 80 for the race
Might indeed be time to start come off points
I'll go to 85 for spain
5 is a big jump. Bump it up another 2, you can gently simulate your opponents, not in Haas, getting better car updates
83 then for Spain
I expect to come out of points there
Its a fast track and our PU isn't that great for top end
Though Qualifying practice went decently. Spain is a good track
But that final chicane is so infuriating
It's rather ironic that Max won this race when his teammate DNF'ed due to engine failure
i think that kind of luck perfectly described red bull albon
plus he despised the car
Yeah I think this game reflects rhat very well
He only barely out qualified me on the start
And I was keeping up with him before I had a bit of an incident
That safety car helped me alot
Will say
There's been a safety car nearly every race this season
4 out of 5 races
And I owe much of my good performance to them
bru the black monster truck 💀
French car fitment 🥀

Sadly the qualifying at Spain just went badly for no discernable reason. Hell, the qualifying practice estimated that I'd be able to get to 3rd
And the race itself... yeah.. not good. I fucked up badly on the pitstop strategy and despite my amazing and clean push on the first lap getting up to P9, I was not able to hold it at all. Ended up getting passed by my rival Kimi on pitstop and got fucked badly by the end with the lack of power. The Mclaren of Norris was very slow itself, but I just should have done better than this
Oh and Grosjean retired due to engine failure, so yeah..
I am honestly rather confused about this race. It had all the recipe to go well. Hell, this was the first race I've 100%'ed all of my practice sessions before FP3
Everyone was just so shockingly quick today and I am still bewildered by the fact that I got left for dead by the Alfas. I couldn't catch them on the straight even with Rich fuel, DRS and ERS activated
And the Safety Car restart just went badly too
Still, can be worse
Can be FP1 at Monaco under heavy rain.. literally impossible to even drive
I really don't like Monaco in this game
Well, you did expect Spain to be tough
I did, but it looked hopeful by the end of FP3
At least a P10 seemed possible
Hell, I was P9 for the first couple of laps
But that pitstop strategy really fucked me badly
I should have listened to Jeff when he suggested a new pit strategy mid-race
Jeff knows all
Jeff einstein
pffft
Yeah I definitely should listen to him more
I just hope we can salvage something from Monaco
Maybe a P10, or at least finish ahead of Kimi
But honestly i ain't hopeful
Put lots of practice in the arcade kode
Mode
Monaco is all about precision and confidence
Yeah and it's hard to do either
I will definitely do a few time trials around there
but I am not sure if I'll be able to do any more than finish ahead of Kimi, my rival, here
Monaco is always hell when trying to go quick
That might just be enough
Yeah if I can manage that, I'll be content
I would just like for Grosjean to start actually scoring us some points however
pull a a Grosjean and dive bomb into P3 xd
I’m not sure about f1 but I hear that for those very narrow circuits you have to kinda drive an opposite way that you would drive an f1 car
Fuck sake Romain
You want to get maximum rotation as quick as possible so maybe trying to deliberately oversteer could help you during the tricky section
Well controlling an oversteer is extremelty difficult in a F1 car
I can generally get just about enough rotation to make the turns
But being fast.. I just don't know
Monaco does seem to require a whole different sort of driving style which I don't feel confident with
Monaco has always been a throw-away round in a F1 season
But especially so in a backmarker car
weirdly enough, in F1 Challenge, it was generally easy to set a fast qualifying at Monaco
but not at this game, the AI in this game seem to be masters at Monaco
Well if you don’t qualify well yeah it’s an immediate throwaway
Maybe before the Monaco race weekend take a short break from the career mode and drive however many laps you want in free drive mode or something
Without assists, my general qualifying pace seems to be quite slow
Whcih i don't know why even
I don't know where I am losing time
Or how to fix it
Not yet anyway
It's easy enough to block so if you can get into points, you can defend till the end of time
Yeah it’s always been a qualifying above all track
So you should mostly just try to improve your Saturday and not crash on Sunday
No shame in a few flashbacks
You can’t expect yourself to have the absolute concentration of a professional
I have reduced my flashback count generally, though sometimes I just spin out randomly
But yeah nobody could drive this game with it off and have a good time
Even in a top contender car
Absolutely. I definitely need practice, even if it won't really make that much of a difference
I do look forward to Azerbaijan however
I felt decently competent there at Alfa Romeo
This game (25 in my case) is just constantly reminding me how much I want a sim rig
And that’s probably bad for my wallet
Cause it means I’ll be living on assuming a few hundred for the rest of the year cause I don’t want to touch my car savings XD
Hehehe
Very very true
I too want a sim rig playing sim games like these
We are both hardcore wannabes who wanna play with little assista dn get an accurate experience
But with a controller we're limited, so we're eager to get a wheel for any racing game
Buy the cheap stuff. See how much you use it. Later get the expensive stuff
My first rig was a £6 IKEA table
That is quite good
but sadly even cheap rig here is too expensive
Get creative
Not possible
Panks of wood go a long way
i more so mean a wheel itslef, not a table
Yeah...
my friend lent me his DFGT, i played with it, i did enjoy it but
- its too much of a toy
- old gear driven logitech wheel, which means noone can sleep when im playing
my main needs is a wheel that doesnt feel like a toy (size is very important), and noise
we are still talking stuff possible with entry level equipment, a new logitech is i assume about 200 pounds for you guys, with 250 you can get a direct drive Moza R3
My £300 wheel is loud as hell, you gotta buy utter shite or REEEAAAALLLYYT expensive stuff to get silence
noise is very important to me because i live with other people in the house, and i mean i am not overplaying the difference
and this is how the DFGT sounds like constantly
i will assume your 300 pound wheel is probably belt driven, direct drive wheels are generally quite silent
I'm well aware. I had that wheel, but I wasn't a late night boy
Yeah it's thrustmaster T300, and it is over a decade old now and still runs flawlessly
I did play with their late model GT branded wheel once, that thing was amazing
the good thing about the moza is modularity (with as low as 45 bucks you can turn it into a formula style wheel), cheap upgrades and no proprietary shit
this used to be the goat budget wheel, its aged now but yeah they are noisy but they hold up incredibly well FFB wise
the R3 is just a little stronger than a T300 and its a 300 euro wheel of now
I'm 10 years and over 3,000 hours in. I could definitely recommend one if it wasn't so loud!
The force feedback system is still as good as day one
i would definitely get one if the prices had dropped with the age
still hovering at about 300 from what ive seen and i have not stumbled on any of these used for cheap sadly
The curse of high reliability next to relatively low manufacturing volumes
id keep it reliable because that means people who bought them didnt waste their money, even if i cant get one
Welp
Monaco went about as horribly as it possibly could have
qualified dead last
Managed to make it up to P12
Then lost my lead to Kimi and Stroll again on the pit stop
And Antonio crashed me into the wall on turn 3
So I just retired and went to the paddock crying
This marks the end of my career mostly
No rookie ever DNF'ed there
Nor is it acceptable to ever DNF
Wanna hear the worst part?
The reporter said "there are rumors that you're going to transfer to Williams"
I am not even gonna last at Haas.. I'm gonna get demoted to Williams at this rate
Why would there be rumors about going to a worse team..
I'll end up smashing it into a wall
I am just useless
I used to think that before
But now I know it
I know Azerbaijan will have the same story
Horrible pace despite the initial few lap push
Then we fuck up the pit strategy
Missing points on research points due to practice failure
I can't even do the fuel one
Oh I am not just stupid
I'm utterly hopeless and I will not be able to keep my spot at Haas
Oh and I also crashed exactly where Charles above did
Aww no
We all crash there
That's what lots and lots of practice is for
Get in time trial mode
You wanna spend a couple hours minimum
Oh no
I spent half an hour practicing Monaco
I did 15 laps and only one of them was validated
And I still sucked complete ass there
Very normal
Half an hour is barely long enough to learn anything for like... Porsche supercup.
If you're gonna suck, you'll suck since practice
I am not some indepth learner, so what more of it would do is beyond me
It'd not change anything
When I was doing GT Sport competitively I wanted at least four hours, spread across multiple days, I got SO MUCH faster after practicing and THEN sleeping
Here's the difference
You're a pro
You have wheel setup
And you're not mentally ill
4 hours of practice makes no difference when you don't understand where you're failing
It's not just feeling
The AI cheats for me if I were to guess
To improve
Improve what
Your performance at the game
My race craft clearly isn't imprvomh anymore
And I'm never getting near points realistically
As I'm spinning out every race
AND QUALIFYING SO FUCKING BADLY
I am literally playing as best as possible
And the game doesn't want me to succeed
It's like dark souls, and games like that. There's some way of learning, or understanding, the mechanics of the game better, to improve
But the F1 games will make you find your ceiling, they're designed for the griup of people who eSports play them full time.
This game is meant for you to fail
I am learning so much just for the sake of this game
And yet I'm still no better off
Hell it's worsened if anything
Why the hell am I qualifying 20th on Monaco and why am I so slow on Azerbaijan
I genuinely am emabressed
I genuinely don't want to play anymore
Instead of being rewarded for my efforts, I get put down
And demoted to Williams in the future
That's f1
Find the settings, the difficulty and assist stuff, that makes it fun, and feel fairer. That's what you've got to do
"Fairer"
The assists and difficulty all judge me
I either overperform or underperform
I am not allowed to play an easy game
I am not allowed shit
The assists don't judge you. ESPECIALLY if you're on a controller. The F1 games are borderline unplayable on a controller
The assists do judge me
As do you guys
I don't care what you say or what you actually think
I know what I think you think
That I'm weak, that I'm pathetic
You are playing the F1 game on a comtroller
The fact you've finished some laps is incredible
And that if I lower the difficulty I will have no respect
No
You could always just lie
That Mario is doing a championship with Alpine on F1 25
And he's not using flashbacks
Turn stuff on and don't tell us
No
Cause I know I'd be lying
Then there's no point at all
F1 is supposed to be cool and fun
Yet all its been is misery and suffering and no results
Instead of actually improving
I did one decent race
And it's all been downhill
It's not fair..
Mario is doing everything by the book
And yet I fail everything..
And how long has <ario been playing F1 games relatively seriously for?
mate i raced there in F2 in full wets rain... god i was cursing myself, the screen, the controller, the wall, everything
🤣
It doesn't matter how long Mario has been playing for
Point is that he's playing it properly
And on much higher difficulty
While I'm struggling on every turn and am using flashbacks like an idiot
I'm genuinely about to cry because of this game
Nothing I do gets any results
My one good race at Zandvoort was that, just one good race
And it has nothing to do with what car I drjve
I'd qualify as bad as a Haas in a Mercedes ad well
Properly playing a racing game is by enjoying yourself
Have you TRIED qualifying in a mercedes?
What difference would it make
I'm 1 second slower than my teammate who's in the same car
At most I'd improve a bit in a faster car
Otherwise, I'd still be down the grid
Despite being in the fastest car
No
I thought I was enjoying myself when I was playing with assists with Alfa Romeo
Then I realized what Mario is doing
You'll find the fun again, you just have to detach that fun from comparing your performance to other people.
If only I could..
It's such a joke..
I just want to cry to be honest that Everything I enjoy and touch turns to shit..
sigh
I'm en embarrassment
If I spent my 1500 GT7Hours, having fun, then got into competition, I'd have to be cool with being slow
@somber elbow because you asked for an update, just got done with the japan gp race, managed to qualify 8th after quite comfortably making Q3 with a P7, and then in the race i got quite lucky with light rain for the last 5 laps so when my old mediums were gone tsunoda and russel behind me didnt have the grip on track to manage an overtake
oh this was a good result, someone is interested !
Damn, that's really impressive. Well done man. I wish I'd be able to get clean results like that
man i know its only Q2 so its meaningless if you are 1st or 10th but
finally put together a lap im proud of
Damn man, that's insane
what difficulty rating are you on
You did this on this circuit
It is.. but I still am never fast at it
no match for the titans ahead, but this is a great position to start with
It's an unbelievable position
russell and piastri must have had quite the stinker in Q2, for an alpine haas kick and aston to get into Q3 at the same time
ITS RAINING
this might be lucky
man... I envy you
@jaunty crater Yo what do you think of my new house? Took me some time to finish
(Interior not finished)
really nice, looks very vanilla friendly, like something they would add in a new village dlc
quite cozy
@somber elbow Norris bottled it man, Norris did a Norris! He crashed!
Pffft
This game is too realistic
But not realistic enough for a Ferrari win
Really cool how your character daps him
So you got a P3
Unreal
this race was exactly what i needed to not drop back the field
full race without DRS in light rain
lack of DRS definitely helps
But racing in rain is also harder
The fact that you managed is impressive
More impressive that it rained in Bahrain
our DRS completely sucks though so its a massive weight lifted if its off
Yeah I can imagine. You are in the worse car, so one element agasint you goes away
we run high downforce plus the shittiest engine so yeah
but the alpine handles really well in low speed
might help you in slower more technical circuits
ay great to hear, worked hard for this build my previous house was just half in a mountain but glad to be gone from that one lol
now im working underground where my enchanting room will be which i did aswel at the previous house it looks better that way
Welp
I give up
I used the AI calculator for a time of 1:26.286 at Albert Park
And it gave me the 72 difficulty
I made a grand prix and entered with that difficulty and only was able to qualify 3rd
Already bad
But then I enter the race, and I get passed and finish 4th
I am not just bad
I am absolutely and completely useless at this game
Sorry mario, you made my expectations of myself go higher and I ended up ruining the game for myself because of it
NFS Underground Toyota Prius gameplay
Pffft
@distant mica @jaunty crater Well.. heres the house tour! Though things can change from time to time:)
(Not the best designer but did what i could)
@somber elbow my god i found a video that helped me so much in f1
