Things You Don't Care to Know About Racing Games

I was looking at some preview videos for Dirt 3 and Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed (follow the links for the pages with the videos) that included developer commentary. It's exciting to see they're both moving toward realism, especially after how disappointing Dirt 2 was, and how sideways-baseball-cap-wearing-smirking-retard the NFS series usually is.




Dirt 3 is definitely moving in the right direction by adding a whole lot more genuine rally to the game, and hopefully a whole lot less hooning. Gymkhana (who is Jim Khana anyway?) is in but it actually looks pretty interesting, and is a legitimate tool for sharpening skills. Some concerning comments were the implication that they've only just now got the cars' centers of gravity in the right place, and that after making the physics realistic they tweak it to make the game more accessible. Hopefully realistic physics will be an option, and even if not I have to admit that the Dirt games are just plain fun.




NFS:S2U:BBQ:STFU is a lot like Grid now. Weirdly it has hipsters coding it, and they're all of a sudden concerned about realism. Fucked if I know why, this must be the Negaverse team or something. Some bloke with an accent asserts boldly "We have the most advanced physics system ever released in a racing game," shortly followed by some very cool shots of the on-screen telemetry features, which, I cannot stress enough, should be an option in every racing game. Another neat feature is the 'helmet cam' in car view mode that changes the camera angle slightly to look toward apexes, or when you're drifting out the wide window; it looks surprisingly realistic. I do have to say though in the last shot I saw the physics tweak a little on one of the dozen cars coming over the hill, maybe everyone was at a Reel Big Fish concert that day or something.




Does GT5, our current game of choice have a lot to gain from the better parts of other games?

So much snow!

We haven't done much lately, that is why you haven't heard much from us. We did a big install session the other night.

Other than that, a dark wintermode photo shoot was in order.
