Разработчики из Caged Element подготовили поистине масштабное
обновление для боевой гоночной аркады GRIP: Combat Racing,
которое получило название «Big Ass». Список дополнений, изменений и
исправлений настолько огромен, что на одно его прочтение уйдет
несколько минут. Изменения коснулись мультиплеерных режимов,
кампании, искусственного интеллекта, физической модели и поведения
автомобилей на трассе, системы прокачки и очков для достижения
рангов. Создатели обещают преобразовавшиеся качественным образом
ощущения и надеются, что все разочарованные или недовольные
какими-либо аспектами проекта смогут по-новому взглянуть на
игру.
Кроме вышеперечисленного, также был скорректирован прогресс
(уменьшено количество необходимых кругов и уничтоженных врагов) для
получения некоторых трофеев и достижений, а все проблемные трофеи и
достижения теперь гарантированно открываются:
"GRIP Rookie"
(Старое значение > 100, новое значение > 50)
"GRIP Addict"
(Старое значение > 2500, новое значение > 250)
"GRIP Master"
(Старое значение > 10000, новое значение > 1000)
"Vehicular Genocide"
(Старое значение > 500, новое значение > 100)
"There are no cars left to kill, so chill"
(Старое значение > 1500, новое значение > 250)

BIG ASS UPDATE PATCH NOTES
MULTIPLAYER
Voting has been tightened up and acts similar to the
PC version. All players can vote. The game will take into account
all votes and create a config.
A timer has been added to the online lobby that
automatically starts the game if players are dormant.
Spectators leaving MP games are no longer reported in
the HUD feed.
Split-screen tournaments now work beyond the first
event.
Split-screen results for players are now always
displayed correctly.
Bug fix that allows 2nd, 3rd and 4th split-screen
players to access and customize their vehicles within the
garage.
Difficulty level and engine power now can't be voted
upon in MP games.
Bug fix for allocating the correct vehicles to players
in split-screen.
Bug fix to disable players from joining tournaments
once they have started, regardless of whether they know the private
game name or not.
Maximum game time and maximum kill count now averaged
in votes for MP games.
Fixed bug where not all players would have a player
controller created for them inside a garage after exiting a race in
split-screen mode.
Bug fix for MP game auto-start sometimes not kicking
in.
Event progress now visible in the spectator lobby
Bug fix for MP game auto-start not aborting on the
client when appropriate.
Improvements to the game options UI presentation,
ordering them by whether they're enabled or not which is very
useful when voting in MP
Bug fix for the rendering of “Press X To Join” on
split-screen join panel – so that it will fit vertically rather
than horizontally which helps localisation.
Bug fix for selecting the correct pickup table when
there are fewer than 3 players left in an event.
AI
Bug fix for AI bot catch-up in MP games. A big one for
the community. Originally, we envisioned how it was set up as
something combat racers would want, to keep the fighting close but
players found it too aggressive and leads could be wiped out
through no ill move by the player. So catch-up assistance is now
less aggressive and, importantly, off by default when playing
Campaign.
AI bots now often avoid static obstacles more smoothly
than before and AI bots now drive more competitively, but not
unfairly, when catch-up assistance is turned off to make sure we
keep the race aggressive and entertaining.
Bots now adjust cornering speeds dynamically depending
on how much grip they have.
Bot vehicles of the same maximum speed range are now
matched against humans where possible.
VEHICLES
Hit points for all vehicles are now 100 in arena and
150 in race modes, this reduces the chance of 100% damage during a
race but increasing it during deathmatches.
Vehicle audio improvements have been made, increasing
the volume of some sounds that were too quiet and improving sounds
which acted incorrectly.
Bug fix for vehicle physics movement and velocity
prediction calculations. Reducing the chance of vehicles losing
control unexpectedly and making it easier to control them in air
and on the ground.
Fixed bug in the garage where the vehicle name, logo
and stats wouldn't update when loading a saved preset.
Bug fix for vehicle catch-up state change being so
slow, causing ‘Rubber-Banding’ to appear unfair and
unpredictable.
Bug fix for no more rumble on controllers for
destroyed vehicles.
Bug fix for unwanted decals now removed from vehicles
a player has selected which subsequently became unavailable.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Changed the number of laps and kills required for the
associated achievements:
"GRIP Rookie"
(Old value > 100, New value > 50)
"GRIP Addict"
(Old valve > 2500, New value > 250)
"GRIP Master"
(Old valve > 10000, New value > 1000)
"Vehicular Genocide"
(Old valve > 500, New value > 100)
"There are no cars left to kill, so chill"
(Old valve > 1500, New value > 250)
Various bug fixes ensuring all achievements are now
attainable.
Bug fixes for the "I did it my way" achievement,
preventing the achievement from unlocking when it shouldn’t.
Bug fix for illegitimately attaining achievements when
spectating a MP game.
Bug fix for “Stunt Double” achievement being more
accurately achieved, this increases the chance of unlocking the
achievement if the user correctly completes the action
required.

clipping issues have been removed.

static rather than dynamically updated.
Optional instantaneous look back / side inputs from
the player, rather than them being smoothly transitioned.

something that isn't possible, like reset when a missile is locked
on you.
New anonymous avatar for players we cannot identify

redesigned to flow better and be more fun.

and a platform to prevent insta-death in the middle lava.

kill ratio in the leaderboards.

WEAPONS AND PICKUPS
There was a lot of feedback around weapons and we've
spent a long time trying to perfect the balance. Improvements to
missile targeting when the target is manoeuvring hard should see a
more fair hit chance and based on feedback, we've also improvements
the missile movement to have them avoid the floor much more often
when launching. You'll still need to time it right, but it's much
