Why even play?

Who said I'm playing anymore? The AI can do it for me.

Reminder that /ovg/ isn't properly #WOKE yet, and it is through through the power of being awoken that you can learn who controls the world.

Can we discuss the possibility of Ian Bell Steals Your Money In Exchange For an Unfinished Simulator 2 being a good game, /ovg/?

To be fair, bought the G29 for my birthday, the hans/helmet combo were attained with iRacing money, and ZG is the pCars 2 tester.

I'm okay with this.

/simg/ told me to come here, Is there a racing game tier list?

I really liked Sega GT 2002 on the Xbox and Forza 2 on the 360 but they both died a few years back. I saw Forza 6 is on the PC but my processor is below minspec.

I don't want an arcade racer, I want a nice simulator with car customization

>nice simulator with car customization

Doesn't exist

>I want a nice simulator with car customization
Forza is your only choice. None of the other sims have car customization like Forza does

>sim

Don't forget that Forza 6 on PC doesn't have any of that

fug :DDDDD

seriously?

Yeah sadly, it's called Forza 6 Apex for a reason

I really don't see why they won't implement livery design or online multiplayer for Apex.

because microsoft is full of a bunch of dicklicking knuckledragging faggot retards. what else is new?

>I want a nice simulator with car customization
Doesn't exist and if you knew anything about sims you'd know why you don't really want one/how impractical it is to be accurate.

so you're saying the only way to get what I want is to shell out for Mr Shekelstein's Magic DirectX Box?

Forza and Gran Turismo are simlike games. You can probably emulate GT3 and GT4 on your computer. I wouldn't recommend and Xbox.

>simulator
rf1/2, ac, iracing
>simlike
gran turismo, forza
>simcade
some need for speeds, burnouts, forza horizon

>I want a nice simulator with car customization
well, you can make your own cars for rfactor or assetto corsa or whatever. that's pretty much best you can get when you want to mix simulation with customizable rides.

just play gran turismo. it's okay, it's fun game

Change simlike to simcade and simcade to arcade, then you'd be right

>rf1/2, ac
>simulators

I couldn't think of the right simcade titles but I think GT and Forza fit a niche closer to sim than plain old simcade. And there can be a big difference between simcade and arcade.

...what

all the NFS games are arcade racers, that's the entire point of the series.
Shift series don't count because SMS deliberately made them wrong, as a joke.

GT and Forza are still simulators, their flaws arise from the focus on a large car roster instead of dead-on physics fidelity, but both games use real-world data to replicate real cars as realistically as possible. You can make a basically undrivable 1000-horsepower AWD Nascar V8 Ford Focus in Forza, but from a practical standpoint such a car isn't outside the realm of possibility-- iirc an Australian company actually builds RWD V8 Ford Focuses, there was one at the Dubai 24h last year and I think they were at Bathurst this year.

You wouldn't call MS Flight Simulator an "arcade" flight game because it doesn't appropriately simulate crashing into buildings, would you? Nor would you doubt the simulation authenticity of X-Plane even if you managed to put an X-15 in orbit with infinite fuel. Just because the game lets you do shit that's neva' been done befo' doesn't make it an arcade game.

pic related, this is an actual arcade racer.
Note the impossible clutchless gearshift that's required to send the car into a slide that would send any real stock car into the wall, the AI that moves slower and behaves physically different from the player's car, the massive flipping crash with canned animation and of course the car is capable of its usual top speed afterwards even though it's gone 30 feet in the air and the back end is twerking like its name is Shaniqua. Key to the arcade racer concept is that gameplay is primarily visual and mistakes are not fatal. Anyone whose played Forza or GT knows you have a much smaller margin of error than in an arcade racer, and there are enough raw simulator aspects to keep them from being lumped in with actual Simcade like the TOCA Race Driver games, World Racing, Flatout, etc.

>When everyone here forgot about his birthday and one bored user has to acknowledge it

There is a massive difference. Simcade games generally offer realistically-handling vehicles but don't let you tweak settings, or if they do they are usually very basic sliders for traits, such as over/understeer, suspension stiffness, or gear ratio. Good examples of this are the Tokyo Extreme Racer games, 4X4 Evo, Monster Truck Madness, and F-Zero.

I personally consider the San Francisco Rush games to be simcade, as they present a rather realistic handling and suspension model (for the time), customization of driving dynamics, and a highly detailed physics engine that rewards good driving technique while also allowing you to barrel-roll your car off the top of Lombard Street at 200 MPH with a pair of retractable thruster-wings (fuck you it's the future).

>forza horizon

fh3 offers the best simulation on the market right now

How do we fix /OVG/?

by typing it correctly you knucklehead

How do we fix /ovg/?

by merging it with pretendracecars.net and making series paid only
you bet people are going to be careful on the track when they have to pay $30 for two hours of racing

Adding more mtf drivers. Seriously, I need some ass.

>iirc an Australian company actually builds RWD V8 Ford Focuses
No, they build RWD race cars with Focus bodies.

Okay, you know how you drive when hotlapping? Do that regardless of whether or not there are other cars around.
