Single Player Replay\Rewind option

[Shon]

As a newbie its very difficult and frustrating to get into a race and in some idiotic mistakes to completely lose it. Or even for the expert players having a great race which gets ruined but a AI mistake.
So to solve that annoying issue, I would like to see in single player an option to replay\rewind mid-race. This idea can be found in games like Forza and F1 and is very helpful. There were too many times I have played a full 100% grand prix (usualy over 50 laps) and I crashed stupidly by AI, without this option I would have raged quitted and never played this game again.

Yes, I know its basiclly "cheating", though thats why I consider that as an option, and only for single player. You dont have to replay if you crash. And especially, you cant replay if you are playing online.

Thoughts?

Haha, no.

Seriously, if you are in a single player race, what is wrong with pressing ESC and restarting the session?

Would you restart a session of 25 laps? It doesnt matter it its SP or MP

Why would you want to `rewind` a moment during a race to `correct a mistake`?

AC is not an arcade racer and `rewinds` have no place in it as its frankly as useful/useless as a dynamic racing line because once you're used to it and its there, you rely on it too much to the point where you either cannot race without it or without it you become useless due to lack of skill.

If you're unable to learn to race the traditional way in a racing simulator, perhaps you should consider if sim-racing is for you and maybe stick with Grid/Forza et all games with `rewind features`.

Yes the OP stated it while racing AI, but it would be a very useful hotlap tool.

That would ruin the whole meaning and challenge of hotlap.
It would be cheating.

What's the difference between hotlap and practice mode? Obviously if you used a rewind function while hotlapping it wouldn't be counted as your fastest lap...did I really need to tell someone that?


WAIT!!!

THERE IS A REWIND FUNCTION WITHIN THE PRACTINCE RUN!

JUST KIDDING!!!!

I encounter all of the biggest idiots while driving, why would I think a "simulator" would be any different?

*edit*
*Kazereal, your reply wasn't being a ♥♥♥♥ and I acted like one.* I just don't get why people would be so against something like this, otherwise forced options should be applied like damage etc. This is more a reply to the masses as they are all thinking a similar thing just waiting for the right wording to come out so they can pounce and ignore when proven wrong.*

I think its wasted time to code it in, if it was in it wouldnt bother me but people that would use it are only hurting themselves. The point is to be able to lap or race without making errors so big that you would even consider needing to use such a feature.

People saying it would be great to learn a specific corner. If your actually stuffing a corner so badly then I doubt your perfect everywhere else so doing every corner over will help more then running 1 corner multiple times and not seeing the others.

You mean me? Yes. Learn to quote. You can chime in also on this Blackbird DK.

Tracks have certain turns or sections that are much harder than others, so to assume that they are doing the entire track wrong is just an uneducated opinion.

Still waiting on people to quote my original post how controling the temperatures like a god is somehow sim like, but rewind is absurd.

I agree with most of this. I love racing sims, I won't be the fastest, far from it, but we are missing a big thing that real life and maybe true racers have a natural grasp of. A certain mistake or feel people recognize instantly and solve, but others will drive and drive thinking this is fast and i can't figure out where I could find better time.

That's where I would find a rewind feature helpful. Taking a single turn perfectly isn't as easy as taking THAT turn perfectly...it's about taking turns 1-3, 1-5, etc perfectly, the flow of the car through those curves.

Some may say you aren't cut out for sim racing...but why? Lots of people have friends to help them etc and that other voice is their rewind, while others have nobody, but love to race. We all want to improve/ be faster...that's what makes a racer.

Yet you all want to ridicule the other person...

I've very against using a rewind function in any kind of racing format, if you bump or run off etc...that's racing.

for example in rfX (hardly not call it sim), there is resume from replay. From any points. But because tyres somehow when resuming are not in same condition as when leaving game, therefore best resume from pit. And there is search bar good. For sure not good for correcting mistakes. Also not posible because that procedure take lot of time, which turns up to be good (no hotlap cheatting) Just find good place to resume, long straight and such. Without posibility resuming from replay there isnt chance in single player make 24hrs race on many session. Honestly i dont know if in AC posible resuming race. I hope it is. Trying to search how, found only this thread. OLD thread, probably inactive... That game sim i mentioned i cant drive more. Oculus user and simply steamVR now only forced option performance horrible, using Opencomposite is not posible. This buried it for me.

AC with SOL and PP filters looks realy superb and in VR it is true JOY.

+1 for not rewind button. F1 and Forza was mentioned, but also considered arcade games. As well as PC3 and dirts and godzillion others.

rewind???? not in a sim..... Try another arcade game maybe? In AC you have to improve your driving, by ...driving and reading race driving theory, but NOT through rewinds.......

I would also like this option...
