Ok we all know GAS is not a pure sim , but i like to be a bit hard to keep car on the road with all assist off as it was in Grid 1 , this is not relative if it is sim or not , this is relative to the game's difficulty..Ok it may be the skills of this guy , may be that this car has very good handling and its easy to drift... :-??

Guest Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 LOL you've seen my vids of G1 drifting with assists off, It looks easy but learning to do it wasn't. The differences between assists on and off were a lot to cope with initially but once you get used to it you realise you have far more control of speed and angle of drift with just the throttle alone, if my memory serves me correctly I was normally between 70-90% throttle during most drifts.It also meant you could drift at slightly slower speeds without losing the drift score.When I got the wheel it took almost a month before I was back to the levels of control I had with the controller, Fully expecting drift in GAS to be challenging to play and an effort to truly master....

Codemasters Staff Britpoint Posted May 21, 2014 Codemasters Staff Share Posted May 21, 2014 Easy to drift, yes. Easy to drift really well? No. These things (and I mean the real life cars as well here) are specifically set up to drift. :) They'll throw themselves sideways with very little provocation. The challenge doesn't come from going sideways, it comes from going sideways at high speed within an inch of the marker. It comes from direction changes and keeping it smooth through the very slow and tight corners. The precision involved is where the difficulty lies, rather than the sliding itself.And hey, if you want an ultra-realistic challenge, just set up a wheel to 900 degrees. We managed to break two Fanatecs in a day with that ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyRuby Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Whenever I try to drift in GRID the thought hovers uncalled in the middle of my head that I'm trying to control chaos. Doesn't usually work, but I love having unmet challenges in a game.Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyRuby Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Especially Lamborghini, as the Murci is such a big deal in GRID (2008). Can't buy a Porsche in GRID, but it is available in some of the Driver Offers driving for other teams. That leaves Ferrari. I don't miss them, but would like to see the other two in GRID A if it's at all feasible.FrankPC/keyboard, offline single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar97 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Gemballa isn't a fake name, it's a tuning company. Their licenses are way cheaper and not exclusive to somebody, so they are easier to add to a game.There are mostly RUF cars instead of Porsches, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesenium Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Gemballa is an actual car manufacturer that manufacture custom cars based on Porsche platforms, similar to Ruf. They arent fake cars to begin with.The reason why Codemaster isnt featuring Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche is due to licensing issues. Ferrari's license is either very expensive or lock to only Microsoft's platform. Lamborghini is known to have very expensive licensing that cost upwards of a million dollars, that might could be used to develop other parts of the game or bring other manufacturers. Porsche is mainly tied to EA since 10 years ago and other developers do no have access to that license these days.Licensing isnt as easy as you think, it is a pretty damn complicated, fairly expensive or even a pain to get them. Even subbrands like Subaru's STi branding or Mercedes Benz's AMG branding needs to be licensed or even approved before a game developer can use them in a game. At the same time, some manufacturers also have many restrictions like they do not allow custom liveries on some cars or have limitation on how you ultilise their brands. For example, Audi's prestigious motorsports division, Audi Ultra who develop Audi race cars has a no custom livery policy that games cannot offer options for users to create custom liveries while a similar german brand like BMW does not have that restriction. Not to mention, licensing approvals can take a long time to get it done before you can start modelling the car in your game, that can be partly why Codemaster isnt revealing the full endurance car list as the licensing isnt finalised yet. I heard some manufacturers only approve their brands to be used in a game after a game gone gold. Car licensing is a mine field, IMO, which is not something that is easy to deal with.Considering Autosports could obtain V8 Supercars, I think thats quite an achievement as Holden is also known to be quite pricey to license them in a game.Back in the 90s, car manufacturers used to give out their license for free as they thought it was a good idea for other companies like game developers or merchandise manufacturer to advertise their cars. However, knowing how profitable is manufacturer licensing, car manufacturer started to charge companies to use their licenses which resulted what we have today. If I am not wrong, Ford bring in a couple of billion in revenue each year from car licensing in games to various merchandise such as model cars, polo Ts and cups. Its a profitable industry so they also want to make some money from it. On top of that, you get companies like EA and Microsoft signing exclusivity licensing that makes things even more complicated.Source: I am a Project CARS backer. We go through similar issues daily.
