[quote][i]Originally posted by Paul_J[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Robin[/i] For example, on most (if not all, even now) car games, you can brake mid corner without the car sliding straight on, or spinning backwards in a ball of fire. If the car spins when you brake in real life, why not on the game? The market IS there for people who want a 'realistic' game, regardless of if they're using a keyboard, joystick, mouse, wheel or controller. Even the most modern games (Forza 2 for example) aren't actually realistic, there's loads of room for improvement, and using technology from elsewhere can only serve to improve them. [/quote] Sorry Robin, but I'm gonna have to call you an idiot here. The Forza 2 developers didn't make your car 'spin out' when you brake mid corner, because they couldn't achieve that level of realism. They did it because they know that the majority of players wouldn't be able to play that game / control the cars... thus it'd no longer be a mainstream game, it'd be for a niche market. and they wouldn't make much money. There are loads of 'realistic' games out there, but they're made by smaller companies, who make the sim's to be as realistic as possible, not caring whether they sell a million copies or not. Perfect example is live for speed. www.liveforspeed.com - download this game! You will struggle to control it with keyboard or mouse (but it is slightly possible, tho impossible to really control a drift or anything that well) ... but this game simulates everything fine. For example you brake hard mid bend, you either lock wheels and skid straight on, or spin off... if you lift off mid corner, the back end comes around ... etc etc... :lol: I can't believe you think the reason game's such as Forza, arn't more realistic because 'They can't create that level of realism'. :lol: It's because They (or their share holders) want to make money... As a result they HAVE to design a game for a mass market. Therefore they have to dumb the game down... This is what I'm saying about this F1 simulation technology... If released as software in it's realistic state - only few people would actually buy it.... If released in a dumbed down form, it defeats the whole point of using this technology. Fuck it, Cosmo :lol: Listen to Robin, I guarentee it'll be the biggest mistake your dad will make investment wise. [/quote]
