i wanna make a racing video game
i want to make a racing video game for one reason: so i can implement a custom radio station that lets the player listen to whatever music they want via mp3s (and, knowing me, probably tracker music and other music formats too)
@typhlosion lemme back that kickstarter real quick
@codl the only thing that's missing is the entire rest of the game
@typhlosion this sounds amazing I love it
@typhlosion that was a mistake oops.... the empty toot.... I'm surprised you just fav'ed it xD
@typhlosion make in game CDs with playlists, VR mode where you have to change CDs
@typhlosion Burnout Paradise has that functionality and it's definitely one of the reasons that's my favourite racing game ever
@witchfynder_finder burnout paradise is so fuckin good
@typhlosion I really want to try the Forza Horizon series because it looks like it captures a similar vibe and mentality to Paradise and I've never found another racing game to scratch that itch
@witchfynder_finder it's fun! if you do pick up horizon 4 lemme know
@typhlosion Im surprised games dont have this often,,, GTA 5 does...
@LottieVixen @typhlosion custom soundtracks were the best feature of the xbox 360 and it is a crime that they didn't put it into the xbox one
@codl @typhlosion I didn't know the 360 had that! and I owned two...
@LottieVixen @typhlosion yeah if you played music from the little in game system menu thing, most games would mute their own soundtrack
@codl @typhlosion I had no idea that was an option.... heck
@codl @typhlosion honestly.... if I knew, my experience would have been much nicer..
@codl @LottieVixen @typhlosion also included on the original Xbox, I think ingressed via CDs
@bb010g @codl @typhlosion ah i never owned an xbox or xboxone just 360
ps1 ps2 ps3 ps4 :p
@bb010g @codl @typhlosion Forza is literally the reason i got into xb360
@LottieVixen @codl @typhlosion didn't they design TrueSkill for Forza? I remember skimming that paper on MS Research back when and looking into Forza / the 360 after that.
@bb010g @codl @typhlosion ooo I dunno what that is

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2006/01/TR-2006-80.pdf is the first paper, but looking at it now it was for Xbox Live in general (tested with Halo 2 data).
@typhlosion supports: literally every audio format that has ever been made, including 8-track tape, vinyl records, and both edison and victrola-style phonograph recordings, and every audio format that has yet to be made, including ogg blorb, mp8, flak-with-a-k, and several things that are not audio formats at all, such as jpeg, torx, IEC 60309, and eggplant.
@typhlosion oooh! That’s be cool bc being able to chose own music would help some folks drive better imo?
seriously, if forza horizon 4 had a custom radio station it'd be game of the year for me hands down
well. game of last year, i guess. but STILL
