sloppysmusic 1,650 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) This has been talked about a lot here, and although most people feel the same I believe it's never gonna happen for a bunch of reasons if you look up the previous threads. Most obvious one for me is that pc users will have a killer advantage as pc users can build or tweak their machine to run the game faster and smoother than console users will ever be able to (even with next Gen consoles). This gives a considerable advantage in a racing game where performance counts. Slow down, lag and stutter just don't exist unless the game is badly bugged. Platform versions run differently as well especially after patches. Some favor a particular platform or may cripple the game on another. There would be constant complaints from the different communities as soon as any platform was discovered to perform better /worse. It's far easier to cheat on a pc too as it's easy to mod so there would have to be considerably advanced anti cheat code in the game. Now between different consoles that's less problematic. Except for the performance issue again. It would increase pressure on Sony and Microsoft to produce the best hardware and firmware possible for their use base which is great for all of us except I believe one console would always have the edge, then maybe the other one, meaning it would never be a level playing field. In a lot of games performance is not so much of an issue between platforms but any racing game will show up minor differences very quickly. In an fps for example anyone can shoot anyone else, so even those with super machines can still lose as the whole game is about literally annihilating your opponents. If you have even a 1 second advantage per lap in a racing game though, you win the race unless someone deliberately wrecks you which is against the rules. Anyway, welcome to the forums buddy! We got some cool people here. 😎 Edited February 9, 2020 by sloppysmusic 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
