Driving Cars thread?When I was young I used to play the Gran Tourismo demo on the demo discs and kinda get lost around the race tracks and wonder about the environments and designs. I think it was at a because I was from a rural small town USA but I never though of things like Italian towns existing so the architecture in combination with the low resolution to me at the time appeared bizarre and left a lot for my young mind to fill in. I would try drive and peek around corners to see more of the map because I didn't know the world was just 2D façades and I was always curious about going out of bounds and the odd time you were actually lucky if you rammed your car at a such and such location and at a so and so angle and speed. I remember in Driver 1 and 2 maybe? you could get over invisible walls if you hit a jump high enough and then eventually fall through the ground but sometimes you'd get lucky and find explore new secret areas. If I was a child and was allowed to explore a map like Japan in FH6 to my hearts desire I would have lost my tiny fuckin' mind, now I just drift after work sometimes to cool off.
This fly has been bugging me for 2 days straight, I've finally had enough and I'm going to fuck it up.
>>741542305The sparkles give me deja-vu
>>741542305I got Forza Horizon 6 yesterday. Seems pretty good so far, definitely better than FH5.
>>741542801FH6 is very nice in cockpit view. It's the preferred perspective to play.
>>741543610It's very cathartic, also with no hud it's surprisingly easy to play. I honestly don't do 99% of the races just the odd one here and there but the flares are egregious enough you won't lose your way and you don't need the speedometer or anything because can hear the rpm anyway.
>>741543817Yeah I should try to tone down the HUD a bit.
>>741543873It's kinda nice, I don't know if you can get rid of everything but you honestly don't need to know how fast you are going because it really doesn't feel like 200 fucking km/h anyway. Get rid of the points stuff though that is especially obnoxious but get rid of anna and link buttons (map if you want) and names overtop of cars for sure.
>>741543610>FH6 is very nice in cockpit view.if you're driving a car the devs have bothered to breathe on since 4 or 5 it's great.
Rain comfy, I wish there was a train to set weather and time.
Dash view i don't mind either it's a bit cleaner and irl it's where my focus typically is as well, i feel like my drifting is 25% better than cockpick.
Driving these old cars makes me hard as balls though I loathe driving anything mid B class and over. I don't know where this fly is, I see a glimpse of him from the corner of my eye but he blends in with the wall colour so well I lose him just as fast.
>>741544251I love the rain in cockpit view. It's top comfy
>>741544810oh yeah i keep all the music and everything off for max atmos
>>741544896Horizon Opus channel works really well for cruising around.
>>741543873Why does any other car have a camera icon over them? Are they on Kinect?
>>741545130you can take photos in cars in photo mode and 'collect' all the cars, the icon means it's a car you haven't captured yet.
>>741545130Yeah I need to turn that shit off.By the way this game is really good. I never played Horizon before. Just some FH5 but was turned off by its obnoxious presentation.
>>741545182Actually, haha its funny. Back when I saved this webm (2015!!!!) the difference was almost indistinguishable but watching it now I immediately saw the differences. >>741545572I honestly don't even race I think I have 6 races done in 8 hours of gameplay? I just just baked and drive around mostly. I hate the festival stuff and everything though, it's so extreme and try hard. I would love if it it were more gran tourismo in how you earn cars because getting cars thrown at you really feels whack and kills the achievement factor and getting attached to cars, I remember liking driving to dealerships around the map to buy cars in test drive as well.
>>741545784>I would love if it it were more gran tourismo in how you earn cars because getting cars thrown at you really feels whack and kills the achievement factor and getting attached to cars,This is my biggest gripe with the game too. It has very odd sense of progression. I already have so many killer cars in my library simply because of some pre-order bonus my torrent included.
I found this beastly old Ford in a barn find. The engine noises are absolutely sublimehttps://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1782025843660626.webm
They should make Gran Turismo Horizon. I have been wanting a game like that for decades now. I want to try out those cars in actual roads. The car models and handling in GT7 are still way beyond anything else in the genre.
Recently I have been playing Powerslide. Despite the music not playing and the input only being digital I'm having a lot of fun.
>>741544251what is that white car?
I love Bimmers so much
>>741546119AZ1
>>741546228>Actual driver display does not change to metric unitAmerican developers...Japanese would never tolerate such an oversight
>>741546235cute, thanks
>>741546119AZ-1 Autozam 1993
>>741546259Some cars have km some are mi
>>741546307It's a BMW, it should be metric system.
>>741546259clocks don't work either, they don't even bother making a generic interface for infotainment screens, shifting animations is just your hand touching the gear lever, many japanese cars aren't even rhd. don't look too closely at the details, you'll just find more things that are wrong.
>>741545968nice arm, robocop
>>741546379i watched my buddy drive his M3 (non GTR) for like five minutes and noticed right off that they fucked up the shift animation so badly that both shift up and down use the same 'touch the left flappy paddle' animation and the right one is completely unused, and then told him and ruined the car for himhopefully i can ruin the rest of the game for him so playground stops making money off retards
>>741543873>driving lineMight as well just watch someone else play the game at that point
>>741546452Well your buddy can just go play Gran Turismo 7 then but no racing game has a structure and car roster like FH6. So either you accept the blemishes on the premise of everything else but if you're a car perfectionist, then it's obviously better to just play Gran Turismo 7
>>741546027>They should make Gran Turismo HorizonNo, they should make a proper fucking Gran Turismo again.
for me its the r33 in TXR(along with wmmt ost)>>741546379>many japanese cars aren't even rhdman I hated that in the crew.
>>741546505>no racing game has a structure and car roster like FH6forza horizon 3forza horizon 4forza horizon 5
>>741546489Since the checkpoint barriers can be narrow as fuck despite a wide road, there is really no other way around it than activate it. Otherwise you're in for a lot of trial and error.
>>741546369It's funny because some of the audi's have mi and some have km>>741546549deactive it homie you'll be ok i did that race hudless noproblem
>>741546547Inferior car roster. Inferior map.
Also is there a reason i should not get an Audi other than expensive maintenance cost? I like the idea of AWD on them which will help because sometimes im trudging through pretty heavy winters but the roads are decently plowed i geuss , in my civic im almost plowing my way down roads sometimes I even ripped off the underplate. I thought maybe a subaru but those are for lesbians apparently.
>>741546645Nigga they've all got the same car roster once they're done swapping the last game's Car Pass DLC cars with the current game's wheelspin exclusives. The exact same goddamn models.
>>741546791Why do lesbians love Subaru? My coworker (50 year old hambeast lesbian) also drives that shit.
>>741546823Are they better games then or just less of the same?
I was also never a manual-transmission-fag before this and I just switched to finally try it out and I'm quite glad I did. I you're an auto-fag I recommend trying it.
>>741547000Do you play with wheel? Manual with gamepad feels kinda lame to me.
>>741546939They're better, because they had less postironic weebs and Goypass numbers-pumpers ensuring M$ sees a gorillion dollar profit.
This event is so fucking bullshit>oh, you want a free Audi?>too bad, you have to team up with randos using stock cars>good luck getting enough points
>>741547083I don't see how that makes them better games.
>>741547048No wheel just controller. Have been thinking about it but don't have a lot of room at my place right now. I always wondered how accurate it was and the feedback.
>>741547129they're better because they weren't $79.99 plus tax and tip for a rehash>>741547167fwiw horizon sucks with a wheel and always has, it's tuned for controller
>>741547114>oh, you want a free Audi?it's funny once you played one or two of these games the collector fever goes away, especially for cars that were in the past 5 games.
>>741542305None of these forza horizon driving games feel like driving or being in a real space. Your car maintains grip on all surfaces and just drives right through any obstacle with them barely even slowing you down. Its like movement in mmo games, you just kinda float through the gameworld, ruins all sense of being in a certain place. The driving itself is also in this no mans land of not being arcadey enough and not being realistic enough, just completely unsatisfying and unfun
>>741547203I got FH6 for free though
why are cars fags so autistic? it either has to be 100% realistic or the craziest arcade shit imaginable.
>>741547586Say the line, Bart!
>>741547619no it doesn't, it just has to be funcar fags' problem with FH is it's only fun if it's>your first forza horizon game>you don't actually like cars that much>you don't actually care about racing, eitherthere's nothing wrong with arcade handling with realism or simcade games. forza (motorsport) and GT were system sellers for a reason
>>741547619Americans. They're the dumbest fucks and can't appreciate the variety within the genre.
>>741547684Forzs motorsport and gran turismo are realistic enough to the point where it feels like youre driving a real car, unlike forza horizon
>>741547903Do you drive actual cars? They all feel like video games.
>>741547684Forza Motorsport is just a failed version of Gran Turismo. Atleast Horizon as its own niche, as OP is pointing out. We need more car games that are about driving on normal roads, on and off.
>>741549526forza horizon doesnt have normal roads. it makes every road 4x wider than its real life counterpart. because otherwise the goycattle audience would drive off the road. not that it would matter anyways since in forza horizon driving off the road has zero consequence it doesnt even make u lose grip or speed
I wish they'd fix the "Oh, your wheel isn't Device 1? No FFB for you" nonsense. I fail to undestand how a game in 2026 can have worse wheel support than NR2003 from 23 years ago. I really want to drive this with a wheel. I even saw a VR mod being developed for the game.
>>741543873>GREAT DRIFT>AWESOME DRIFT>PASS>SHOWOFF>ULTIMATE DRIFT>AMAZING SKILL PASS
>>741547619People don't play Forza for the driving. They play it for the monopoly money and experience point grinding.
>>741550603Which is crazy because all they had to do to make it not look retarded would have been to paint more lanes on to it.
Why does a 70/120 dollar game not have a fucking demo? You're basically forcing me to pirate at this point. Only thing preventing me is that it runs like ass on Linux right now.
>>741552248making a demo takes effort and their ass backwards programming and packaging practices probably mean that the "demo" would be 100GB anyway.
>>741546110Based Powerslide enjoyer. That game was hard as fuck.
>>741543610It's even better in VR
>>741552091I play it for the collectathon aspect
>>741552248its on goypass
>>741552248Every game on steam has a 2 hour demo.
TXR & Carbon
>>741546259The newest TXR doesn't even have cockpit view lol
>>741555296why should arcade game have it at all?
>>741545784You can actually find cars on sale around the map this timeWhile the locations doesn't change the cars on offer might do
>>741549526Gran Turismo is dogshit tho. 30 year old franchise and they still can't even develop AI that doesn't just drive one behind the orher like a train with zero dynamism or challenge. Not to mention the dogshit camera providing zero sense of speed, the mental illness level of money grinding that japs love, etc. GT sucks ass
>>741555367Cockpit cams in arcade racing games have been common since the 7th generation in 2005 anon
>ugh, where's the traffic??!?
>>741555534that did not answer the question in slightest, I am asking, why should arcade game have it at all?
>why should arcade game have it at all?Because it's ALWAYS fun
>>741555885it is not fun for methere is literally no point for that pov if game is arcade styleif its a sim that is the waysorry tasteless mongrel
>>741546791Do you live in Europe or the US? If you buy an Audi in the US the costs aren't worth it, the tune is awkward and the car will break down faster, if you are looking for good AWD there are plenty of options, go do some test drives and take your time buying and you'll end up with people trying to give you deals left and right.
>>741553039Kind of embarrassing that modders managed to do something the devs can't be arsed with.
>>741544719The current weekly event encourages you to drive 80s cars too
>>741554282I always say FH is pokemon but you collect cars
>>741555841What the fuck kind of question is that? Because it's immersive, because it gives you another prespective while driving (and for some people it will be their favorite way to drive), because it's cool to see the unique dash for each car, because it shows the devs put love and effort into the gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYUDJSqMta0Are you really happy to settle with the absolute barest minimum in 2026? With the amount of quality racing games out there to choose from? Which the devs could have certainly learnt from
>>741555296WTF, really? I had it at the top of my wishlist, too. That's fucking insane.
I've been playing screamer
>>741551390American game
>>741553039Did they finally hack in proper stereo 3D with head tracking?Last time I checked it was just alternate frame rendering with bad parallax/depth effect
>>741552248Linuxtroon pretending he has standards
>>741546259They are Bongs tho
