I've seen the first 2 minutes of the video and I don't want to keep watching it unless I have a full HQ version to download. It's looking amazing so far!
The worst cases are when you skip the starting lights (or similar) and you have a big "30 SECONDS PENALTY" message there for the whole race. I mean, you don't even have to clear this penalty in any way, it's just a time penalty that will be added to your finishing time, you don't need to have that message for the whole race bugging you until you finish.
I like the original idea I had, to show the text and then move it to another place and make it smaller. It wouldn't just disappear, but you don't have it covering so much space.
The fact is that it being all big won't make you think that you have to do it now. I've had several friends or teammates that received penalties but didn't want to complete them soon due to strategical reasons, so they kept driving with the text on the screen. After a while they got accostumed to the text and in the end they totally forgot to complete the penalty and got disqualified. This is a true story, and has happened to several people I know With this I just say that having a big text on the screen won't make you read it again and again, and in the end you'll get used ot it, but until that moment comes it's very annoying.
Hi, I've been thinking this for a while. When you receive a penalty the text shown is too big, it remains in the upper-middle of the screen and it only goes away when you complete the penalty. It's quite disturbing, and sometimes you have to do several laps before completing the penalty for strategic reasons or whatever.
It would be good if that text would appear as it's right now for like 10 seconds, and then it would remain as small text at the top of the screen, not disappearing, but clearing the screen so you have a better field of view.
Looks like it's trying to connect twice. The socket has been bound in a first attemp to connect, and then it's performing the same connection procedure again and it tries to bind the same socket. There's also the possibility that they're two different sockets, but the arguments in the bind() calls are wrong and they're trying to bind the same socket.
Speaking of which, Don I made a "remake" of your slowmotion tyres 1 video. Well, actually I just changed the music to "Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States and America. The song fit pretty well
Someone should do a slowmo-parody, with cars spinning, hitting the walls, flipping, etc.
I think I haven't seen a slowmo dogfight either, with two cars fighting for a position, braking into a corner, going through a hard chicane tail-to-nose. Most slowmo's are only one car showing off tyre deformation and suspension movement. Try two cars!
Well, then let's put it this way: Dude, if you're uploading a video to the movies subforum, then make sure it's not just a replay frapped to a video, make it more "movie-like" (music, edition, etc.). If you just wanted us to see you drifting from a fixed angle you could have uploaded the replay file.
About the camera, I think you should use a lower FOV.
I liked it, but I always say that a team video must have team members overtaking over cars saying sending the message "hey, we're here to make an impression". When you only show cars driving around with no action it just says "we're here just to drive around the circuits". After seeing this video I don't think that you guys kick asses Just a suggestion though.
Also, the lack of skins in most of the racing takes is not a good point. It looks like you are racing in some newbie public server. Takes in which everybody has a team skin make it look like you race people of a good skill level, though it may be totally the opposite.
The video edition is good but "movie maker + youtube" killed the image quality, and that's a shame. You've got skills so keep it up, you sure look like you can do something very nice with time and the appropiate racing material.
I'd change it, but not just because it's a dangerous place for cutting and getting damage, and ruining nice hotlaps, but because if considerable braking would be needes in this corner it would be one of the coolest overtaking points in the track. Right now you can get another car slipstream going into the oval, and when you reach that point side to side it's the moment to pray that you'll end up alive. With a real chicane and people having to do full braking it would be great
An there's more, having it slower would mean that a good corner exit could provide again a better braking battle in the next hairpin than right now.
I liked the video, but after a while it becomes repetitive. All the takes are pretty much the same thing but with different cars in different tracks. It's just a lot of cars going through corners at the same time. It looks like a movie made entirely from first laps. You finish it with "this is Live For Speed", but there's a lot more to LFS than that. On the other hand, I liked the camera work and the edition.
I think the plot is a little confusing. I don't know if I like this or not but I'd definitely watch more episodes because even if you don't get all the action it's still very entertaining
