I made this one. I will admit my last thread was lazy and not serious. Nocturne was well within his rights to delete it. But I was trying to be lazy on purpose to see if the GMC had a keen and cultured awareness of games. Kind of like an elementary school teacher wanting to see if students can examine studies on their own. It would amaze and surprise me to see people posting in the thread, being on the same page as me and really "getting" what I was saying, without me having to spell it out.
What I was literally trying to say was...that Wild Tangent game...yes...it did have some physics problems with it. Yes the wall collisions seemed to have a restitution higher than one. Yes when landing after a jump the car did seem to stop instantly.... But if they could fix those things I think they'd really have a solid engine in their hands.
What I hoped the GMC would say is that....Yes there is a certain charm to these older games. That Forza just doesn't have. Something about the atmosphere of these older games is just so charming and cute. Back to an older time where you could walk around in the suburbs and enjoy being alive. Breathing in the fresh air without breathing in the pollution. And a certain harmony to it. And somehow that even the physics (if they would fix the oddities I mentioned earlier) do seem a more accurate representation of real life somehow. Just a different day and age where you could go on a drive. And just see the beauty of life. Life was different back then. A different age, a better, cuter, dimension.
Another wild tangent game:
I'd play this over the new Need for speed's any day. Also I'd play the old need for speeds over the new need for speed's anyday. I remember back in the day when actual artists would try to make games as an art form. Now its just putting random assets everywhere with no artistic cohesion. I look at a lot of modern 3d trailers. And all I see is just random assets sputtered about.
Also yes the engine sound of Final Drive is annoying...still not as annoying as the engine sound of Forza... at least it doesn't sound like a washing machine.
