So last weekend Ian Bell made reference to this Porsche Supercup race, in particular the dodgy passes. Since I'm not so good at that circuit and have rarely raced there, I figured I'd give it a go and see how similar the racing could be (i.e. how human the AI were). There are some niggly areas of improvement possible but overall it was so similar I decided to try and mix in some replays and pieces of the audio commentary. Definitely not a flawless execution (especially if you are familiar with the names), but all things considered I was amazed at how easy it was to line phrases up.


Have a look and let me know if you like this style:




I know not all will agree on this, but I reckon it would be pretty cool if a racing game did eventually ship with [optional] commentary for replays, similar to how the FIFA games do.

I like it. If i remember correctly there was commentary in GP2. But that was a class of its own...

:D

In anticipation of this weekends LM24 race, i did a quick demo on the LaSarthe Circuit.
The custom event selector of pCars is awesome. Pick a track and a car and go. Unfortunately you can not tune the cars. And the factory setting was not really good. Too much downforce, so the car was bottoming out and also had a low top speed of only 300km/h. But the driving on le Mans was really good. Track layout is spot on and the speed sensation is there.

I thought this was the older diesel model w/o hybrid/boost. But I haven't tried - I'm awful at those LMP cars, especially with the tiny cockpit windows and big A pillars.

What scree are you playing on there MMCK? Seems like one of those new 21:9 super widescreen 1440p affairs. Does make a big difference to sense of speed.

I play on a 21:9 Curved 34" screen from Dell. It is awesome. And i prefer it above triple screen. :D
It has a lot of pixels (3440x1440) to render though, so to power it good, it needs serious Graphics horsepower.

Shadowplay recording does only partially support it. I record at a lower res (2560x1080) at 60fps. It only does 30fps on full res. And i still need a better video editor than the one i use now.

For racing games it is very good. Just a bit better view on turning points. And the sense of speed is a bit better than on a traditional 16:9. But i tone down motion blur wherever i can.

Back OT: The car is an Audi R18TDI LMP1. No E-tron.

Superkarts at Donnington Park. These are crazy fast.

Yes those Superkarts are just nuts, they are about as fast as the Prototype 2 Radical i drive now, but the Radical has much more grip, and the cornering speeds are crazy, it takes a awhile to get used to the aerodynamic grip, but once you do, it is epic :D
