But handling isnt locked behind levelling  Each car handles in it's own way, the only thing a higher level will give you is a bit more grip. But it won't change thee way a car will understeer/oversteer into and out of bends. You just picked a different (better) car and found it easier, shocker. The end of the game is easier because the required caar level starts levelling out at 700 or so but you can keep levelling up your cars way past that.

The grip stat is the only thing that determines handling. Naturally as speeds and acceleration increases the required grip to keep traction increases.

Extra posted:The grip stat is the only thing that determines handling. Naturally as speeds and acceleration increases the required grip to keep traction increases. Er, so explain how different cars with identical grip stats handle totally differently. At least into the equation goes whether a car is RWD, FWD, or AWD. On top of that is weight, and they seem to have done a decent job of weight balancing too (Front engine cars feel front heavy and understeer more at speed). And you can tell that weight is a real factor by trying to complete jump skills is a heavy as gently caress car. You just can't get the speed or the flight time if you're carrying a lot of weight.

Encountered a really weird graphical bug tonight while cruising in Freeroam: It only occurred on a certain bit of road, and fixed itself once I got out of that specific area. First time I've ever had that happen, so I have no idea what caused it. Also, I don't know what Ivory Tower did to matchmaking, but i'm seeing a lot more people when i'm out cruising around. There's still plenty of barren, empty stretches if I'm just out loving about in the middle of nowhere, but for the most part, the world seems a lot more populated now, which is nice. Maybe now I'll be able to join Crews again  Oh, also, this game desperately needs a photo mode. There's so much gorgeous scenery, something like Forza 4 had in terms of being able to go into a free camera mode would allow you to get some great screenshots. I'd kill for the Forza style photography mode in this game.

Honestly, if it's similar to what you're describing, American Road Trip Simulator 2014 could well become American Landscape Photography Simulator 2014. Uplay has a screenshot button, right? This page is blocked at my work, but I think it's where I read it.

Ooooh, good to know they're already planning on adding it! I've just seen so many great spots where players could park their tricked out cars and get some great shots, adding that sort of feature is basically a given. And yeah, U-Play and Steam both have screenshot hotkeys, so that works out well.

You brought it up? And back to my earlier comments - you're trying to shoehorn in some hate for Ubisoft when clearly none is applicable to that situation.

I laughed really hard when I realized that the gold medal ghosts apparently rubberband also. If I am behind one for most of a challenge then pass it at the end it's entirely possible to finish ahead of the gold medal ghost and get a bronze. How in hell can you possible gently caress up what should be a fixed ghost?

If you miss a bunch of targets or have the point multiplier reset, it's possible to get ahead of the ghost and still get a lower medal.

How in hell can you possible gently caress up what should be a fixed ghost? Wait skill challenge or race? Either way there are usually things that award/penalize points, so you could have cost some of those. If its a skill challenge the ghosts are static. If you passed it and got bronze, you must have missed some gates or gone slower to get a lower combo. If its a mission or race or whatever, then the ghosts are all based on you and the current race, and there is no "gold medal ghost". They're all just AI, and they can all be collided with and slowed down. In both cases its not the ghost that ever determines your medal. Its the score/time.

The escapes are based on pure distance according to the description. Also, I have had escapes end with 4-8 seconds left on the countdown.

Looks like they've started adding in some of the missing specs. I was able to put Dirt spec on a few of my vehicles that couldn't get it before, so hopefully we'll be getting more Raid and Circuit stuff soon.

Some of the new Faction missions are really rad. If you guys haven't tried them yet, you need to play Vertigo and Rollercoaster. Vertigo is a high speed Dirt spec time trial that runs along the edge of the Grand Canyon, and Rollercoaster is a Raid run that has a really great downhill section at the end where you get some major speed. I think I got my Hummer up to about 185mph at one point Speaking of Raid, I know some of you guys like the Focus, so I figured I should mention, they added its Raid spec in

I wish they'd added some more of the 10-30, $30k min missions in, those are the ones I tend to play the most.

Really loving all this new content Ivory Tower keeps rolling out. Got a Circuit spec for my Gallardo now, and i'm 90% certain they added a bunch of new paintjobs and vinyls.  Anodized bronze paint and a full graffiti bodywrap. I know people talk poo poo about this game, but if they keep adding new content like this every month, it's going to be awesome. Now if only they'd do away with the stupid Platinum part RNG

I picked it up; it's basically Driver San Francisco 2, right down to the map, with a more Need For Speed Underground flair to it. I enjoy it.

Vintage Pack is out for Season Pass owners. Two Corvettes and a Spyker, all of which are only available in Performance spec. As much as I like this game and love the Corvettes, I'm kinda getting tired of Performance spec cars. There's already a shitload of them in the game, kinda wish they'd add in more Dirt and Raid specs, or even Circuit. At least the new C3 looks cool? Plus, it has  sidepipes.

Cage posted:When is this game dropping to $20 or less? I want to play car dress up and throw mud tires on a mustang. Can I do that? Yeah. You have to kit it to "Dirt" or "Raid" spec first, but there's at least a couple mustangs that'll do each. You'll also have to play a bit into the game to unlock those specs, but it doesn't take forever.

Haven't played for a while, but a bit of discussion about the game in the Steam thread made me have a look to see if any updates are planned, and I found this. Looks good. http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/03/12/big-crew-update-goes-live-march-18-adds-new-pvp-mode/ Some stuff that stuck out for me: quote:- Added searching filters in the lobby by Car Spec and PvP game mode. No mention of free camera mode unfortunately.

I'm stoked on the new Circuit specs for the classic muscle cars personally. Can't wait to see that Circuit spec Impala, that should be hilarious Gonna use muscle cars for every spec ever once they add in the Raid '69 Camaro. Speaking of the '69 Camaro, gently caress yes, improved handling in Street and Perf coming with this next patch!

Apologies for doublepostin', but how do you guys feel about the changes to the close chase camera? I'm still getting used to it, and it could stand to be tweaked a bit so it's not so incredibly rigid, but I'm actually kinda liking the change. Perf cars don't feel so sluggish and understeer prone any more, they actually turn in and respond to inputs way better now. Try driving in the close chase cam and then switch to the far chase cam, it's basically like night and day.
