Fading Brakelight Obscurity II - Championship Edition

[bug]

Update: I installed the 4.00 update and now every time I take another player down slow-mo kicks in and it messes me up and I don’t like it.

The Rush (mode) in OnRush that you enter when you are powered up is literally a rush (of adrenaline) and seamlessly piling up takedowns is integral to that moment.

Also playing the single player online awards some new currency and experience points for god knows what (cosmetic upgrades) and it takes so darn long to tally up after each race I don’t like it either.

So I deleted the game and installed 1.00 from the disc again and turned the internet off and enjoyed myself some more. Though yeah I am weird and I might get used to the slowdown and there’s like 4 new courses in the update so I must and will return to it eventually.

Also yeah I totally know that the official title is ONRUSH or Onrush but I mean come on it should really be OnRush because how can you not pay tribute to SEGA when you make an arcade race game. (Also people (or only Birch) have been calling it like that on this forum before me. Because people here are cool like that.)

[bug]

Final update: Indescribable feeling you get when the lockdown race isn’t being locked down and the tide changes and the opposing team is running away with it and you take the gamble and switch out the tank for the bike and build up your Rush meter and when they just need one more point and are all defending the zone glowing bright orange you get into the zone and enter RUSH MODE and music kicks in and you trailblaze and you take down three of them in a blink it all turns blue and you just go for it and floor it and turn it all around. Those are the moments.

Anyway, I just finished the single player and of course Evo doesn’t give me a credit roll, just like in Driveclub I gotta play the credits manually from the menu like a creep. What. the. hell. Dear product of my solitary pastime interest: I don’t appreciate it when the online focus seeps into and diminishes my beloved single player experience. Can’t they just coexist? Like in the very excellent (not The) Need for Speed and The Crew? They gave me my credit roll. Didn’t I earn it? Gotta keep playing, can’t tell me it’s the end, game over, game never over, game is a service, etc. Getting my shit fucked by random kids on the internet awaits.

And I mean I like playing with people (sometimes when I am not too anxious) and it makes sense for OnRush but so does an arcade mode with stage progression or an endless mode chasing high scores and where is that? Is it the training mode they added in the update? I sure hope so.

Maybe this is why they failed, too much focus on online. Even though they do have a solid single player experience. But nobody knows or cares? It’s all in the marketing. Maybe? I wonder if they would’ve focused more on offline if they would’ve gotten the Gran Turismo license for Driveclub. Maybe not. Maybe only Kaz knows. Though last thing I’ve heard, Gran Turismo Sport’s Gran Turismo mode is but a shadow of its former self. Guess it’s time to play that one next while I still own my PS Plus-given rights to do so. And who knows, maybe some games are better off experienced together. Actually, I am almost somewhat certain.

finally get around to drop this link here. Gonna see whether i can catch the demo footage (10 minutes) they are doing in the Pathé cinema in Le Mans, but i think it will be overbooked so horribly that i will not be able to get a ticket.
Still, gonna try my best if i am around anyway!

I hate this less than I should

I suggest yall read Go Like Hell which documents this rivalry, mostly from the Ford perspective. I kinda get the feeling that the actual specifics of the stupidity and insanity of the GT40 program will not be captured in this movie though I am excited to see it.

[SUPERSONNICK]

answer is no, i didn’t!

However.

Obey the Symmetry of the GT…

[DaleNixon]

Yeah, the E. Honda looks amazing! I doubt it’ll ever come to the states :\

Still playing TXRD2 (tokyo extreme racer: drift 2)

When it rains all the course turn to rain or snow but the challenges are unchanged. Im taking the opportunity to re complete everything I can with the wet weather. (without rain tires where possible)

this AE86 race was especially challenging and very fun. You can’t see it much in the video but I am all over the wheel trying to keep it going straight and the brakes kept locking up in the braking zones thus leading to a lot of fishtailing. And yeah I’m blasting eurobeat because Im an Initial Dweeb.

[DaleNixon]

Damn that looks fun! How is it on PCSX2 with the G27?

[yarusenai]

genki racing project games had more heart than any other car game i’ve ever played. rip

[shnozlak]

its works perfectly with the usb pass thru plugin, full feedback. though the emulation isnt perfect, im running at half frame rate as every other frame is up one tv line, even in progressive mode.

yeah genki games rule. just cant get enough mountain racing. this has better drifting than granturismo by a wide margin. i dunno how they did it
