Yeah! But you need a solid platform before starting with the final optimization...so we've to wait for those fix and proper ATI/Nvidia drivers to see the light (of gold)...
So am I finally free to say what I think without a risk of being attacked and/or offended? Indeed beatifull option Goodbye btree
So...two big fights at 25 posts. That makes 1 every 12 and 1/2 posts. Not bad. (must keep fire alive) So...what everybody thinks of RF2 progress?
Well, I'm not going to lie and am not too happy with the rate of progress. If you look at the changelogs, you just can't say there were LOTS of changes. Overall the sim feels very much the same as it did in January. However I'm not unhappy either . Because it is very well possible they did huge progress that just isn't visible to us and didn't want to add <100% complete features in new builds. None of us see the actual code. It would be nice to read some blogs etc. on daily/weekly basis but whatever. There aren't that many sims to choose from so if I had to choose between release soon with certain quality or wait 6 more months just to make it slightly better, I vote the latter..
I'm pretty confident for the development and I've no rush. Every new build I see something growing up (little steps, but they're working hard for sure), and I remember when I was angry about the HDR (and asking all the time for explanations...) and then they shut me up with a new build with a improved devmode HDR (and now I know I prefer facts than blah)...so I think ISI deserve more positive energies and constructive feedbacks because I'm 99.9% sure they're working on feedbacks and suggestions. Now I see a lot of "give me that, give mi this, say me that, say me this..." 24/7; jezuz where do people find the time to drive? LOL... Tbh I do not like at all things I'm reading around forums in these days and it's difficult to harvest flowers if you're just spreading **** all the time.... Do not take this as a fanboy statement...because I've a lot of criticism for almost everything (including myself), but sometimes we've to calm down a bit to find a better karma... Get a beer...
See? Just ask the proper question and customers arrive... Imho, I never expected such first class 60s content and as it seems http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/6778-FIA-Formula-2-coming-up-Hoover-spilled-the-beans-) a lot of things happening atm. Modders are on the move too as feels showed.
yeah, nikos. But look at subject of this thread. It's nothing to do with modders, mods nor features added in the past.
I agree 100% fine sir The ISI staff have the patience of a thousand Buddhas. Some posts are not only quite demanding, they are insulting and just plain rude. Some people feel that $49.99 grants them great entitlement.... I feel, on the other hand, that this is a great privilege to be in this beta program. We are participating in sim racing history.
I can well understand this....but out there there're a lot of these "daily/weekly" statements (aka promises) but what I see most of the time are Panem et circenses.... "we're working on steering column"...and nothing happens for months..."we're working to improve tires"...and nothing happens..."we're working on physic improvements"...and nothing happens..."this wheel will be implemented soon"...and nothing happen..."we're working to fix AA jaggies" and nothing happens....and go on. Technical terms are going to be more and more marketing traps. Eg; look at the "alpha" and "beta" terminology usage and think how people use those terms to fight like kids about how good look an alpha title versus a beta one...so funny. It's true; here we have almost zero informations about development but we've facts; the game is growing up (new contents, gfx improvements, experimental shaders, pretty good physic on new cars etc..) and we're modeling the sim shape with feedbacks and suggestions. This is what I see....(and what I feel), and what I like.
Rf2 has been usable for me from build 85, Build 90 wasn't really any good for me (brianza dosnt run well etc) Next build: Looking forward to and seriously hoping for 5.1 sound to be sorted, damage / impact sounds, as well as some decent optimisations If the next update is decent then I'll be happy overall but a tad disappointed if it is like build 90 Not really bothered about new tracks and content as I know a serious amount will follow once rf2 goes gold I'm still fairly confident that rf2 will be right up there as the top or in the top 2 mainstream sims for a long time to come
what a big words. Sounds like we are changing history or something. As any other title while in developement stage. So nothing extraordinary here. I have never seen confirmation that bug report has been analized, confirmed, assigned, solved... So this is your assumption. Of course it is possible... as well as that our reports have no any impact on development.
