Stevo985 Posted January 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Guys, I could have won. Seriously, I was so close. But I couldn't live with myself given the way I took the lead on the last corner. I couldn't have my first victory on the game be like that. And you know what, looking back at the video, I'm not entirely sure I was at fault. Much better run out of the penultimate corner, I had the inside line pretty fair and square and he's turned into me. It didn't even give me a SR hit. I got a clean race!

I was going to say before your last paragraph, it doesn't look like it was your fault at all. He was going too slow and you had the corner. Then again, I'm no racing expert.

Stevo985 Posted January 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2018 Yep looking back I’m a bit annoyed I let him through. But in the heat of the race I felt like I’d dive bombed him. Oh well. I’m battling on. In other news they’ve added Monza to the game and its a **** shit show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Lol wtf? He bottled the last corner and you let him back in front? You had a good racing line and he took it wide giving you the opportunity to get in front, you mugged yourself off there. Can you change the settings for analogue "dead zones"? Yours appear to be low, and you can be better (make smaller alterations) if you reduce the % of the deadzone. In bf for example, it's set to 30% and I've reduced it to 10% and it's helped me be more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted January 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2018 The @Stevo985 we know from our games would have never let someone get the lead back from that. He would have called us a word removed for good measure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a bad line and hit you, you should have taken the W. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It's one of the best online racers I've ever played. The fact that you get punished for driving badly means the majority of people actually try to avoid crashes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2018 Argh I’m so annoyed. I should have taken the win! honestly guys this game is so so good. Best racer I’ve ever played. It has its faults but overall it is genuinely brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your moves are quite clunky in the car as you turn it, almost like you're either turning or not turning, it's not a smooth motion. A dead zone is the distance you move your stick before it starts to move in game. Your dead zone appears to be quite high, so you move the stick a lot left or right to get an action in game. If there is a dead zone setting, you could probably reduce it, ultimately giving you more control because you might not have to slow down as much because you'll have greater control. Just have a Google. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s definitely an issue, although it’s probably magnified in this case by the piece of shit car I was using. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Should never have let him win! He had a terrible 2nd to last corner and you had an excellent on (maybe lucky - could have spun out on harser sims) meaning you had a huge advantage for the last corner. His only hope was to hit into you which he did and failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was bad at that penultimate corner on each lap so I knew I could get a run on him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 @Stevo985 do you play a lot of car racing games? How is the handling with a controller, compared to say... GT6 or Forza 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the handling with a controller, compared to say... GT6 or Forza 6? I used to but haven't for a while. The last racing game I had was Driveclub which was shit. I've only ever used controllers for racing games too. What i will say is, and this is based purely on what I've seen from people playing them on YouTube, Forza 6 looks a lot more arcadey than GT Sport. Not sure if that's reflected in the handling.
