Quote from DieKolkrabe :Porsche would still slap WMD with a lawsuit for anything that looks vaguely like a Porsche, this was discussed over at VirtualR when the Enduracers mod got stopped by Porsche's legal department

Just tweaked enough to be classified as different is what the team has been doing so far. Their lawyers have told them 3 changes is all it takes. Obviously it's not rock solid, but I'm sure they could come up with something. A GT class with no Porkies is just... weird.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :Go buy the license off EA then, it's RUF or nothing far as licensing goes.

Heck when Porsche won't even let mod teams use their cars then it really is EA or nothing.

Sad state of affairs, for sure. Bloody EA

Quote from ACCAkut :as long as its a real licensed car everything is great. There are so many small manufacturers (Mosler, Weineck, Artega, Wiessman, Veritas etc.) that I haven't seen in a game yet, and guess are pretty easy to get licensed, and would like the free advertising.

I'd actually prefer a notPorsche 911 GT3 Cup car than a licensed RUF.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :They got RUF now

http://forum.wmdportal.com/sho ... 58-Ruf-Joins-Project-CARS

Meh. RUF is just what you get when you can't get Porsche. I'm 95% sure I'll never drive any of them in pCARS, just like all the RUFs in all the other games...

A RUF is just a Porsche with hooker boots. I'd rather have the real deal.

Quote from Bean0 :As requested by Kid222, Jaques Villeneuve V8 Supercar for FZ50...

If Jacques is driving it, shouldn't it be covered in dents and scratches?

Quote from Crashgate3 :The Carmageddon demo was the first game I installed on my first PC after upgrading from an Amiga 600.

At the time (and compared to the Amiga) it looked pretty much photorealistic to me

I remember seeing a screenshot in a magazine preview of NASCAR Racing 2, and thinking it looked photorealistic

Quote from Racer X NZ :Has he had an accident that required his legs being amputated ?

Photoshop level: ms paint.

And I notice he didn't answer the question about how he made his money.

Can't stand using a keyboard for driving, and I'd prefer to not use a gamepad, either. I'm ok with some physics that aren't totally realistic, but if it just doesn't work well with a wheel then it sees no time from me. I was really hoping for an RBR replacement, but it looks like that's not happening

I've read the release has been a bit of a mess and the digital download has been taken down (no word on how long it'll take to fix and re-up it) and they're offering full refunds.

I also hear it's not that great (which I expected). I'll still give it a shot when I get a chance, but I'm not expecting much.

Quote from Gabkicks :...probably makes the developers cringe.

Some of them, maybe, but Ian seems to relish in it.

All the political BS aside... I'm itching to skin that Z4 and I really am still hoping that this turns out to be a top notch product. It's gorgeous to look at, and I want to love it so much. Time will tell...

Quote from AndRand :I just wonder why RedBull organisers let the hype begin with doubtful forecasts which should be quite accurate 12h before.

Quote from jrd.racer :Aww cmon, the Scion FR-S is awesome.

Quote from Nadeo4441 :Yeah, but it's not really a Scion...

Quote from E.Reiljans :That's because it's a Toyota GT86.

^ What they said.

Quote from Scrabby :It sucks imo. To slow, it's really missing power

It's just fine. Not much point in having a car any quicker than it, really. It's perfectly quick enough to be fun on the back roads in the hands of an average driver. That's all you need. (Of course, I'd still not buy it. I'll take the BRZ, thanks.)

Quote from Gabkicks :New version of fuji is out, it seems: http://isiforums.net/f/showthr ... tua_LM-Fuji-Speedway-2012

God I hate Fuji. Such a terrible circuit.

I am keen to give the old Silverstone and Kyalami a go, though.

Quote from Intrepid :The Big Year - Oddly enjoyable for some weird reason avbout competitive birding (bird watching). Nothing really happens and no laugh out loud moments despite firmly comedic based cast, but relaxing. It's like muzak in film 5/10

Wait, that's a thing? How the hell does that work?

Quote from Bose321 :Battleshit

It really was shit.

Coulda told you that after seeing the trailer.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :Looper. Awesome (reasonably) intelligent scifi.

I really, really looked forward to this one. I really like intelligent dystopian sci-fi, that's my favorite kind of story. I did feel, though, that it didn't quite live up to the potential. I still enjoyed it, quite a bit, but something just keeps telling me it could have been better. In the end, it was a pretty run-of-the-mill time travel story at its core, with some nice dressing. I do like the foggy memory element, though, that was pretty interesting and I don't think I've encountered that in any other time travel stories (not that I've read/watched a lot of them).

I really like where Gordon-Lovitt's career has been heading this last couple years. He's developed into a very solid actor with a good eye for movies; Inception was bloody fantastic and Looper was pretty good. 500 Days of Summer and 50/50 were both also very good performances for him. There's something about him as an actor, he's just got that subtlety that most don't. It really works, very well.

[EDIT] Oh yes. I also saw Expendables 2. It made me laugh. It did exactly what it says it will on the tin. No more, no less. Exactly what it's supposed to be.

Quote from -NightFly- :Those are ladies models anyway...Mustang, commodore and rx8 would tell a different story

My girlfriend's sister has a Mustang. Not macho. At all. And an RX-8 is just about as far from manly as you can get before hitting Scion territory (which, admittedly, is more douche than girly, but still).

I'm currently not impressed at all, either. I've never had half-ways decent FFB with it and awkward control issues (too much turn in early on in the steering range). That being said, I haven't touched it in months, so I'm due for another test drive.

Also... that Z4 GT3 looks delicious. I want to skin it, so bad.

I'm going to give this one a try. I'll probably be disappointed, too, but maybe it will be playable.

Quote from TypeRacing :Actually you can use fully functional "normal" RBR if you press "Launch Richard Burns Rally SSE". Then normal RBR will start, with mod and car pack you selected.

Yes, but the new stages will wreak havoc with the AI times in career mode, which as I've been led to believe, won't be updated to reflect the different stages.

In any case, RSRBR or not, I've never gotten a downloaded stage to run in RBR anyways; I always get a CTD within the first 20 seconds. I'm fine just using the existing stages and manually installing the car(s) that I choose, I just wish there were more stages by default for the championship

I haven't tried pCARS in months but the two new BMWs are enough to get me to download the latest, methinks. I just need the time to give it a try...

I haven't got RSRBR installed because I like doing the full championships. I replace the cars manually, though, and then just run the original stages in championship mode. I really wish RBR shipped with twice the stages that it has...

Quote from Boris Lozac :I heard there's troubles with RBR on Windows 7, BSODs and all, any way around that?

FWIW I haven't had any issues on Win7 on my machine... Though I haven't played it much at all on the 'new' computer. (New being a relative term, it's over a year old now...)

Quote from deggis :We know Don Panoz licks ACO's ass.

We also know he's poor as hell. His Nicotine patch royalties are running low, he's in desperate need of funds. And that piece of shit that was the Abruzzi didn't help matters.

Word is he's possibly selling Road Atlanta for real estate development.
