Who wants to see a Save Replay option after an online Multiplayer race?

Recommended Posts

100%. Number of times me an friends have longed for a replay feature to settle debates or just to laugh at our mistakes or battles. 

Yes on ps4 we can use the share feature but talking about full on editing facility. So you can go free cam etc.

Don't care about online races specifically, but I always want the ability to save replays in any racing game, online or offline.

(As is often the case, though, this is a bit of an inherently-skewed poll, as it's a feature that would have no adverse effect on people who never used it. So there's no real reason to vote "no", other than to mean "fine, but I wouldn't use it".)

Since I am the only one who voted "No" at the moment I dont mind telling my personal reason for it.
You are right, it wouldnt have any negative effect on people who dont want it/need it. And you are also right, I wouldnt use it either. That that wasnt my reason for voting no.

Not that it really matters, because looking at the votes at the moment the vast majority seems to want to have it. (If codemaster actually cares for the vote)
Anyway, my reason for "No" was that I would want codemasters to spend their time and resources on other aspects of the game. As it currently stands it has various issues that should be looked into or fixed. In any case, IF that saving option comes I guess it would be in next years game. I really cant see them implementing it this year. I would want them to not "waste" time on a saving replays option and rather use it make sure the game does not get released with things like the fuel bug in it... or tweak SC related stuff, or try to do something about possible perfomance issues and stuff like that (has never been a problem for me, but there seem to be some people who have heavy problems this year)

So as I said, I dont think it really changes anything or rather, matters at all. But those are my reasons for the "No" not just "fine, but wouldnt use it". The team should, in my personal opinion, focus on other things than a feature like that...

Don't race online but why would this be only for online? I don't watch the replay after the race because I had so many crashes and I had to do the race again. But I'd love to watch it so yeah, I want this for offline too.

100% YES
Could never understand why any game wouldnt have save replays, personally think its free advertising for the devolpers.

Don't race much online although I really enjoyed day 1, it was like 3 or 4 players per race, very little tussle and the one race I did get a dirty driver ahead of me in Singapore (a race I actually do very well on), he was weaving in front of me so I couldn't pass. Naturally this is very bad, especially so on a slippery track like Singapore, so I waited right up behind him keeping the pressure on and he eventually crashed without any need of interaction from myself. Was a good victory ;)
Generally though its bumper cars, so saving a replay can help us know the dirtiest guys as well as a keep sake for those amazing races we have.

It’s even more frustrating because the feature is there on Time Trials and works awesome. So they know how to do it! I just don’t understand why they don’t want it after races. It’s not something that they need to spend a lot of time developing. Like i said it’s already there, the ‘On’ button just needs to be turned on by Codemasters.

Thats seems odd that they would do that imo, I dont do TT due to its not a fair system so I didn't know they even had a replay,
perhaps its to do with file size's, if you done a 100% race for example I would guess thats a lot of MB, on PC2 on Xbox your limited to 512mb I think it is.

Even if they could just implement a Replay function at the very least, it can be upto the user how much of it they want to record/save using the capture option. Still would be better than nothing.

Nothing is impossible but ive never seen a replay in a game which you can choose how much to download, surely you would want all the race,
but would be a nice feature to have in all session not just online, offline practise / qualifying for offline players.

On the PS4 we have a screen capture mode which allows recording upto 1hr of footage. So you can choose which parts you want to record  by hitting record and stop whenever you want. If you wanted to record 2hrs worth you just need to hit record again after 59mins.
