Next Fridays [02.05.] Update speculation thread

Ralf Ääro · Apr 20, 2014

No speculation thread. Whats up here?

My speculation is, we might get some sort of MP. Would be bad for me, because I am at a real racetrack that Weekend and can not try that out.

And on top of that, I think we get more damage.

PS: is there a lotus left, we might get?

iRacing is the exception to that rule. Whether you agree or disagree with safety rating, it does help weed out the people that race like idiots.

Something like this or the LFS Airio stuff would be a great addition to AC.

Blkout · Apr 23, 2014

Never played LFS but i can say that I've never had online races as clean as I have in iRacing unless I was playing with a known group of friends online. Even in the dreaded rookie series, accidents were far less common than a pick-up and play match in any other online racing game so I would say the iRacing SR is a success in that regard.

It also makes people afraid that other people are gonna kill there rating. There is two sides to that.

Safety rating would fix that...but iRacing already has that.

You must be new to iracing and still firmly entrenched in the honeymoon period if you still believe this and the other iracing myths.

I believe what I've seen from playing. If you don't like iRacing, don't play it. Pretty simple concept.

While that is true, what else can you use to hold people accountable? Nothing because its a virtual car.

I hope MULTIPLAYER is calling us

I think that was the name of the sequel to NFS Shift.

Paul McCluskey · Apr 24, 2014

gonna be a lotus or tuned car version n minor fixes imo, they are very quiet on mp, i think it will not come out soon, they have to make it run good with big fields in multiplayer, even top end pc's are struglling to getgood fps on max in single player

I think the safety rating works pretty well-- certainly not perfect but what is? Something else could be done in the virtual world though it would not be too popular. iRacing could have a series where they charge $ everytime you wreck your car. Total wrecks= need to buy a new car, partial would mean a few dollars to repair. Or you could also add in something like a total wreck in week 4 means you can't race again that week for points and perhaps even prevents you from racing in week 5.

Of course this sounds pretty crazy and most people would not want to race in that series but, technically, it would add a bit more simulation to the mix. Most low level race teams that have a major wreck are really pinched for resources and can't always get a new car or fix it overnight and I think it effects driver behavior in those teams more than the big factory sponsored race teams.

Personally I'm not fond of the pay to play model - reminds me too much of EA's RR3 title and I stopped playing because of it. On the other hand I do see a points model working. You are awarded points for every clean race you run regardless of how you finish but you must finish to get your points. Your points can then be used to "repair" the car in the event of an accident (we all have them from time to time). If you don't have enough points then you're out until the next race. So if you're always smashing into other racers you very quickly smarten up or you don't get to race.

What are the realistic expectations for this release? I've seen nothing on their FB page that suggests new content.

So, bug fixes, improved AI I'm guessing?

Joao Alves · Apr 24, 2014

That's what I'm guessing. Or they're being low-key about something. Either way we don't have long to wait until we all find out. But I still can't wait to see what Kunos brings on Friday.

I can't wait either. I'm just curious if someone else knows of something that they haven't posted on Facebook. But whatever it is, it will make the game better than it already is. Every update so far has.
