Let's play Game Designer

Probably because its pretty new and people are scared of it, pretty much like people that refuse to update to Windows 10 because its new and scary.

 

There is no hatred towards VR from me.

 

I decided to take a week long vacation in the US instead, it cost less and I got to be frisked by some nice TSA agents If the Rift itself had been less than the plane tickets and a new gpu was less than hotel, sure I coulda gone for it...

 

Probably because moeny, because you need strong rig, because a lot of people cant play with i.e. Oculus for longer period of time because they got dizzy and probably because they think brake temperatures are more suitable (higher priority) upgrade to racing simulator..

Even if i had the money, i would rather invest in tripple screen solution..

I think it's just hype with this VR and most of those that call for it will never buy/use it..

That's what i think

 

I went for brakes temps as TBH it's serious sim and having, well... invincible brakes for so long isn't much real-life ;p

But if I may suggest something myself (maybe will put a separate thread in other place) - having possibility to manually (via keyboard shortcut) change manual/paddels gear selector would be nice. Because for those of us who have only 6-speed manuals (G25, G27 mainly but also new G29 with additional gear-selectors) having Corvette with 7 manual gears is a problem. And there could be mods with 7 speed gearbox (as some famous german VW Beetle remakers are using 7-speeds manuals) as well.
Changing from manual to paddles (with appropriate penalty for not using manual) would give us chance to use all 7 gears.

 

totally wrong thread for an otherwise good suggestion.. the chance it'll be lost in the noise approaches 100%.

 

Is it really needed with 7th gear? I didnt drive it that much but I never had to use the 7th gear. Maybe on the long straight @ Nordschleife?

 

I can live with sticking to six gears

 

even there it just makes you slower

 

7th gear in the Corvette (or any other manual car that uses a 7th gear) is meant for hardcore highway fuel saving (think idle at 100-120, basically).

You DON'T need it. At all. Ever. Even 6th you'll basically never use.

 

I don't think people here really hate VR, more like they are not excited by idea of VR being prioritized over features which if implemented will improve their (nonVR players) experience too..

 

FALSE START PLEASE!

 

Many people don't see VR as #1 priority, because only some portion of people can benefit from it (money, hardware, vision limitations..)

Windows 10 seems intrusive, restrictive on user (there's no way to disable some features, remove some software and so on) and rather buggy at this point.

Either one can improve but the question is what is priority at this point.

 

Oculus is the future and we need it for now, more simulation aspects...errr soon...

 

False starts is a must for me, so I vote this for the next improvement

 

I voted championships when this thread started. Now that I followed this thread for a while I am completely hyped for VR. Once we got Kunos confirmation that VR will be supported (preferably Vive I think) I will go for it and buy one.
But honestly I dont think that this will be my primary thing to play games on because I dont like the thought of being completely decoupled from the real world when gaming. Not being able to see and hear whats going on in my flat is scary so I will propably resort to my screen most of the time.

Props to the community for being very civilized and friendly over 40 pages in this thread! Looks like people ARE able to understand a dev after all, at least when he communicating that directly with the 'customers' (I hate that word, dont consider myself a customer but a user).

 

Voted False starts - being able to control the start of the race, have the car in first gear and releasing the clutch will add a fair bit of realism. Also would make me head back to that drag strip . Would also be cool to simulate launch control starts from cars that support it

 

Don`t have VR, have no plan to get one but voted for it just because I read whole sentence, not only second part of it.

Having new, promising (by the noise here and HTC move to build one besides OR, I guess it is) technology/gadget supported is way to go but ... if game is not in just "polishing" state, than I would go for missing features from first "to do list" created before the work on actual game started.

Stefano, do we have game in "polishing" and adding new features state, or still missing few bits?

 

Although I did not vote for it and I dont own or ordert a VR set, I do think it should have priority for the Kunos company. If this feature would boost sales, then in return the company is able to invest in yet more great tracks and car brands. Next to that I see to more advantages:

1. If Kunos starts exploring the VR technic now, it will have an advantage over compagnies that dont. Therefor given the chanche to earn extra credits form the VR companies in helping with issues or special requests;
2. If AC is one of the early adapters to get it right, this will attract extra customers, possibly even customers that otherwise would not have found AC. More customers means more occupied online servers (hopefully not just GT3 )!
3. If Kunos starts exploring now. In time that the mayority of us have the means to buy VR. Chances are that it will be a totaly solid sollution. And because AC was one of the first sims. We can read all about it and choose wisely between sollution 1, 2 ,3 etc.

So in my point of vieuw: Going VR is Good

My choise was the possibility to be able to select a skin in pickup race. I am a grafix junckie (my simmates make fun of this almost every week ) so the idea of being able to choose the best looking car (Martini or Gulf skin please) gives me goosebumps. I would even accept the RF solution with the white cardbox cars for it.

 

why that question? i think that some one compare with VR should be included in simulator, false starts... reality clutch, pit stop, good online.. i vote altought i hope you development all in time.
But if you question if development VR or good easy freetrack, and transducer software, maybe we dont need 1000 $ for enjoy your update..
