Replay length has been reduced even further?

Is this for everyone else too?
Seems like replay length has now been reduced to 12 min. This goes for both, instand replay and saved replay.

After release the replay length was about 15 min. Some month ago after an update, the replay length was increased to about 20 - 22 min. And now it’s reduced to 12 min?

Can’t watch a 10 lap race even on shorter tracks.

What is this?

It negates trhe whole point in replays all together. Christ, you could watch a whole endurance race back on GT on the PS1!

Yeah? The PS1 tech was also a lot simpler.

Replay is just a playback.

Unfortunately, Microsoft caps our cloud storage with unreasonable limits. And we’re speaking of a first-party title!

The short setting for the XBOne’s own replay feature (what is it, a minute or so?) is frequently longer than I need.

Besides that I am on PC, how long are the replays for other console titles like GT or pcars?

I would happily sacrafice hard drive space and have it download straight to there. There’s a load of laps within races that I have lost that I really wanted to see back. It would be very beneficial to how the car is tuned.

And now it has been reduced to 10 min.

I’ve just set up a 8-lap race at LeMans Bugatti for GT3 which should be finished within 12 min limit.
Guess what, the replay cut of after exatly 10 min.

Are you kidding me?
What the hell is going on?

I want to be able to go into photo mode to see specific details about how my tyres are contacting the road and I want to be able to see the telemetry, neither of which you can do with an xbox capture.

I was merely replying about the usefulness being negated by the “short” length. I suspect that the number of people who need more than 10-12 minutes of replay, like those who need a thousand livery and tune save slots, is relatively miniscule. And I think that revelation might shock some of them.

Yes a very good point. I don’t know many people who are willing to spend more than 5 minutes tuning a car. I like to be very particular about every car I drive, but even still I wouldn’t say I have more than 100 of my 550 vehicles that have saved files against their name. So what are they saving “the cloud” for then? I thought it was supposed to be limitless. Oh well, bugger it. Bring back memory cartridges!

So there’s no option to save files locally?

The randomness for cutting off replays seems weird.

I’ve deleted all saved replays, some liveries and almost all saved images. Maybe this will free up some space/ressources for a longer replay. I’ll see.

Is nobody bothered by the replays only being a choppy and nauseating 30fps, while the game is 60fps, on pc anyway?

The only time I ever use replays is so I can see how badly the Drivatars are cheating.
