Here’s the lineup list for the 2020 game: https://www.onlineracedriver.com/2020/05/10/the-full-f1-2020-car-list/

The “career mode” is generally the current F1 season, sometimes with the previous year’s F2 season thrown in as an intro sequence.

What Toyota makes in a week is more than what every kit car maker has produced in the entirety of their lifetimes. Toyota makes about 140,000 cars a week.

These cars aren’t produced on a scale nearly large enough to qualify as “mass production.” In fact they can’t be, otherwise they don’t qualify for the safety exemptions for crash testing that make kit car production financially viable in the first place. They’re paying pretty much the same price as any local garage…

I mean, that’s pretty much been true in the entertainment business forever, right? Like, none of these cycles are new in story, just in form.

I am cautiously optimistic this could turn out as campy fun like the original Underworld movie or Queen of the Damned.

Weird, everyone always says what a buggy mess the first game was, but I was able to play through it completely on several different tracks without encountering anything game-breaking. I guess I must just have been lucky with the hardware I had at the time and the combination of story beats I hit each time to not…

It’s U.E.4 based I believe, so at least the axises that it can be a hot mess on are more limited than they would be if it was an in-house engine. That should let the rework be mostly limited to the scenario scripting, rather than having to start from scratch on assets, tooling, engine code, etc. In fact that’s…

As others have pointed out, there’s basically zero value here for anyone other than CDPR. No actual company would buy it, if they were ever caught the cost of the legal battle would far, far outweigh anything they could ever gain from it (you need only to look at Uber with AL). A desperate paper in a less reputable…

I mean, I imagine JRPG names in general sound/look cooler in Japanese than they do in English.

In fairness, for most of those companies they’re looking at the return on investment for continuing to resource that game development vs. using that money on literally anything else in their company. When you’re Google, it inevitably gets really hard to justify $50mil and 150 headcount on developing a game when…

I mean, 25HP is nearly a 20% increase in power for that car. You’d definitely notice it.

Live near one and can spend every morning getting up at 5AM and standing in line :p

Yeah, realized I had gotten it wrong after the edit window was up. The Akira reference also doesn’t make a ton of sense given where the game actually wound up going. While Akira is certainly a highly recognizable property and is technically cyberpunk, it’s definitely a very different kind of cyberpunk than Cyberpunk…

The Viper at least had to meet some amount of safety standards. The TVR, much less so. The Viper was also mass produced, rather than built by a few British blokes in a shed in Surry (yes yes, I know it was actually Blackpool, but the Clarkson-voice works better with Surry). I know which of the two I’d rather trust my…

It’s also the only thing suggested so far that would actually make the life insurance agent nervous.

Yeah, the choice to use V for the sculpt rather than Silverhand is pretty baffling. Almost no one’s V will look like that. Everyone’s Silverhand looks like Silverhand. So you’re basically buying a box with a generic “sci fi action figure” instead of something actually directly relevant to the game you experience.…

Huh, you’re right. The UI still lets you select items individually, but when you try to finalize it it kicks out as ineligible. Well, that’s very unfortunate. Fortunately mine is a reasonably ok power supply and I have a friend who is building a computer so I can probably sell it to them, but boy does that make the…

I bought a 3080 Founders from StockX for $1,200. I got tired of playing the “will I get through” game, and figured if I was willing to pay that much for a 2080Ti at launch, why wasn’t I willing to do that now? And I seem to have won the silicon lottery with it, it boosts just shy of 2GHz on stock cooling and stays…

You can return the combo item without returning the thing you actually want. They initially implemented combos as a way to fight scalpers, because scalpers aren’t going to put in that effort on dozens of buys. It also threw off bots as the items in the combo changed every time they stocked things.
