Ability to switch from "Replay" to "Follow" mode in replays.

Post by TGYoshi »

After a "tiny" discussion about how much outro's are hated and loved we've came on the following idea:
The ability to watch the "Replay" or just "Follow" the car while watching a Replay, just like online Spectator mode. You can already switch between the Outro-like replay or live following the car. Following is basically the outro without effects/cameras/etc.
This would be a great feature while offline replay watching, for a few obvious reasons. Currently people "Edit" the replay and remove all cameras to reach this effect. This simple feature would fix it.

Lots of times people will download a replay much better than their time so they can study the racing line the better driver used.
I care more about having fun than getting great at the game, so I watch replays mostly for the outros. But it's not hard to understand how the outros could be a hinderance to those who just want to see what the driver did so they can copy the driver.

Good to know. I actually like watching / editing replays. Makes a good screen saver.

At the end of a race I also like some cool looking outro, but for a random replay I'd like to set it to "Follow" so I can see how to drive better.

Just how it goes in online mode, I spectate the best one in follow mode to see what he does better then I do myself.
