Car Related Games (Forza Series, Assetto Corsa, Beamng etc.)

[umbral dagger]

ah

i thought the website would have it

the website:

[scenic mango]

2014 called and wanted it's website back

although, Alpine wasn't in OG AC

car didn't even exist then kek

[umbral dagger]

tbf im gonna miss the first AC

once Evo officially drops out of EA

i hate hard drives so much

my god it just keeps rising

also question

is that free roam map actually part of the current version?

but its just a little chunk of it done?

[charred plinth]

time to get into this game

see what's what

[scenic mango]

It was said it requires a SSD

[umbral dagger]

yeah i moved into the SSD download now

[scenic mango]

I think only a part of the map is on right now

[umbral dagger]

thats fine

[shrewd topaz]

Thet will come later from what i understood. At the moment there are only the 5 tracks

[scenic mango]

oh

[shrewd topaz]

https://youtu.be/4ZlW9vYZbFI?si=ejmsx5QKkEuE-_Tc

they said it here

[umbral dagger]

ah summer 25

[shrewd topaz]

but its a huge map so i think its well worth the wait

[umbral dagger]

true

especially if AI cars are meant to come along with it

ill defo wait

LFGGGG

[shrewd topaz]

it will

or rather im 99% sure

[charred plinth]

FPS is... not great for me

seems kinda choppy

[umbral dagger]

i agree

however i so love the car sounds

[cold crater]

apparently the tyre model feels really good?

[umbral dagger]

can agree with that

steering feels really well

[charred plinth]

game just crashed

[umbral dagger]

just found out how to use the f2 camera

ok yeah people are reporting rough releases

15 cars apparently missing?

my prediction is that the wrong build has been pushed out

so we have to wait until the actual build pushes out

jimmy broadbent also has 15 cars missing + car customisation is missing + showroom and academy is missing

[sand lily]

Does anyone know the cheapest place to get it, I know GMG has it for 33% off, but wondering if there's any lower

[umbral dagger]

ah yeah now i see which cars are missing

[umbral dagger]

assetto corsa evo was sold for £20 on cdkeys but its out of stock

[umbral dagger]

GR86
296 GTB
M2 CSR
Giulia GTAm
MX5 ND Cup
488 Challenge EVO
M4 CSL
A110 S
AMG GT2
Emira
992 GT3
Camaro ZL1
RS3 Sportback
A290B Concept

[charred plinth]

I was wondering why there was no GR86 in the garage

that's like the one car I wanted to try

i will wait for a patch because genuinely even on high graphics the FPS isn't great

ultra settings on OG AC would be much better than this, but it is Early Access so it is to be a bit rough round the edges

[umbral dagger]

i reckon if its an older build that will be the reason why performance is shit

[graceful violet]

that's a possibillity yeah

[charred plinth]

this is 100% the wrong build, I cant change anything in HUD settings

it's completely blocked off

[umbral dagger]

issue has been clarified

https://x.com/AC_assettocorsa/status/1879941241103700060

Assetto Corsa (@AC_assettocorsa) on X

We're aware of network issues which are causing the game to go into offline mode.

This means that the number of cars in game are restricted to the 6 starter cars, until it is resolved.

We're working on this as a matter of urgency and hope to bring a resolution to you as soon

X · Jan 16, 2025, 5:18 PM

[charred plinth]

very good

[umbral dagger]

imo i find the online feature a huge issue

the fact that it locks off a few features/cars is a bit problematic

[foggy oxide]

And they fumbled

Thanks I’ll be here all day

[shrewd topaz]

Yeah it’s not that good🥲

[umbral dagger]

ill wait until a hotfix patch drops

[graceful violet]

Same

[cold crater]

ac is also 12 years old tbf

[charred plinth]

still holds up quite well

the amount of mods people have created for it is insane

[graceful violet]

open source tho, which allowed modders to improve it

[charred plinth]

ahh

I wasn't aware of that

[graceful violet]

Kunos did a great job on that, wished DTG did that for TSC

[charred plinth]

lmfao

some people cant read for shit

[graceful violet]

€40 is literally nothing

[charred plinth]

£26 is a banging price imo

[graceful violet]

compared to have paid €80 for TDUSC which wasn't even playable

[charred plinth]

i would have never expected that

[graceful violet]

fr it was something i was waiting on, to then decide to buy or wait, and my choice was quickly made 😂

[median pivot]

I guess i have a bday present for me, buying ac evo and a new ssd

good thing my bday is still before the end of the sale

[charred plinth]

funny thing is I only recently got a new SSD installed

[umbral dagger]

oh the roadmap was only published just now

i didnt see it ingame

probably because the servers shit itself

https://traxion.gg/assetto-corsa-evo-2025-roadmap-highlights-whats-to-come/

[charred plinth]

i did

[umbral dagger]

but boy we are gonna go thru so many content drops its insane

[charred plinth]

I wonder if it's an actual dynamic roadmap

that changes as each day progresses

because goddamn I cannot wait to give Germany a go later this summer

[umbral dagger]

dont think thats a thing

but

they will provide constant updates

i reckon it will be weekly?

[charred plinth]

weekly, im happy with that

[umbral dagger]

unless they mean "constant updates" as the content drops

but i dont think it is

[median pivot]

the ssd would be for my c drive tho, my 500gb drive is getting full and its also sata

[sand lily]

I'm watching some Twitch streamers (good hardware) play the game and the performance is really poor, hopefully they address that soon

[charred plinth]

i watched a few mins of Jimmy Broadbent's stream, I noticed the FPS was quite poor

[sand lily]

A ton of stutters as well

[sage kiln]

i'm trying it now

it's okay

locked to KPH though

i like that the ABS light comes on if you turn off ABS in a road car though

that's neat

[scenic mango]

Well for me it's a ton

Game is cheaper here though

But still, seeing that it's full of problems (and I don't have a functional controller) I better pass for now

[graceful violet]

different country or fancial status so yeah

[scenic mango]

I'm worried about mod support

[sage kiln]

same here

[scenic mango]

They don't mention it on the timeline at all

That's what put AC 1 on the map

[sage kiln]

100%

case in point

[scenic mango]

Ah yes, Pug thought they could win with no wing

But failed and ended up adding a wing

[sage kiln]

A 908 it ain't

i can't not support them though

i was there when it was peugeot vs audi in the late 2000s

[umbral dagger]

38gb patch everyone

enjoy

[graceful violet]

💀

[sage kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-what-the-fuck-the-fuck-is-this-wth-gif-17571836

That's the entire install

[wild dune]

gg

[umbral dagger]

more than the entire install i think

[graceful violet]

appeared to be 6,3mb one on my side

or atleast, that's how much it downloaded

[umbral dagger]

the patching should be 38gb no?

[sage kiln]

it's only a 17.5MB download for me
it just seems to touch every file

[umbral dagger]

yeah that bit was short

[sage kiln]

hopefully it just enables online mode

[graceful violet]

huh that's strange

[sage kiln]

yeah mine showed 6.3MB to start with, then went to 17.5... weird

not like there's any difference between our installs

[graceful violet]

fixed offline modus tho

nvm

we back offline

but the missing cars are there atleast

[sage kiln]

nice

[umbral dagger]

if anyone is trying has the performance improved?

or atleast some sort of change has happened

[charred plinth]

38GB? damn

[umbral dagger]

hottt

[charred plinth]

👀

based

an actual Toyota road car, that's rare

[umbral dagger]

game crashed

woops

bricked my pc to the point that i had to force reset

the dashboards are so so detailed

[charred plinth]

@umbral dagger can confirm, FPS is better now

for me at least

[umbral dagger]

i turned all my graphics down to high

it works

[sand lily]

looks like cdkeys and instantgaming got more keys, 43% off seems like a good price

[sage kiln]

has anyone found an FFB clipping tool yet

[sand lily]

this game does not look that great though, idk if its an early build, but it looks kind of flat

[sage kiln]

carrera cup car is probably the most fun thing to drive in it so far

[umbral dagger]

wow the M4 CSL is rubbish

why is it so heavy

[scenic mango]

FAP

[foggy oxide]

Is the gr010 in game

[umbral dagger]

not yet

i need these two things asap

[sage kiln]

Not in the sequel, yet...

[cold crater]

hows everyone been finding evo?

been popular lmao

[sage kiln]

it does the car detail part well

everything else is just too bare-bones for now

[wild dune]

I've been on AC, lol

[eternal steppe]

That´s a pretty good summary. Content-wise it´s very limited. But the devs have been very clear about that so there shouldn´t be any surprises.

But the driving is really good. It´s lots of fun to drive those road cars on and over the limit. I´m very optimistic about the open world, just drive part that will come later. It just feels so good throwing all those cars around. And the sounds are fantastic, too.

[shrewd topaz]

It’s nice but performance is really shit for me. I tend to play all of my other games with High graphics and i get a decent amount of FPS too on the other games. But in ACE i have to put everything at low (even low looks really good) and yet performance is still a problem. Or mainly the FPS is shit. I also tried changing the resolution from 3840 x 2160 to 2560x1440 but it changed it back to 4K time😭

[short granite]

https://fixvx.com/munyuturbo1/status/1879933989622071474

[cold crater]

supertourers

[sage kiln]

The BTCC 1999 content is top notch

[short granite]

kaido battle 3

no wait that's kb2 i think

i need to replay it badly

iirc my current save is like, 50% done but i might start over since i sourced a japanese copy of the game

there's no cool save importers like there are for shutokou battle x yet

[spiral vale]

Meanwhile I'm nearly close to finishing.

[short granite]

😔

i wanted to try and finish all the games before txr releases but i only have like two days now

[spiral vale]

I had a similar goal but specifically for KB2.

I can't be sure on doing KB3 before the release of the new game.

[spiral vale]

Well... we can take the option of making do with what time we have left before Genki released the new SB/TXR game.

[short granite]

true

[spiral vale]

I know I'm in the middle stages for KB2's progress.

I kinda wish there was Kaido Battle 2 but with the cars that were included in the Japanese version and the version being fully translated as well...?

[ripe geyser]

50% off on F1 manager 24 on steam, might take it at that

[sage kiln]

who else remembers this utter travesty

[scenic mango]

some people do, with fondness for some reason

JDM bias does that I guess

[sage kiln]

I remember how overly confident Nissan were that it'd work

"nobody else is doing a front-engine front-wheel-drive LMP, they must all be idiots"

[scenic mango]

The lesson to be learned is that you just can't innovate for the sake of it

if something works, why fix it?

Nissan surely had quite a ride during the years it was associated with Renault

[cold crater]

jeees

haven't looked into LMU for a while

didn't know they'd added so many cars as dlc

[sage kiln]

This is Assetto Corsa (if you were talking to me, that is)

I don't own LMU (not sure if I want to, I like my single player)

[cold crater]

i wasn't, just mentioning it bc i'd looked it up

[sage kiln]

ah, gotcha

yeah i hear they're basically adding the whole WEC field

[cold crater]

i was super interested when it first came out but

now the price of it all sorta puts me off, never really thought about WEC stuff

hypercars atleast, and i have ACC for GT3

[sage kiln]

A subscription fee is always a risky place, but I guess they're probably counting their lucky stars that AC Evo has had a rough start

[graceful violet]

i mean they still got to compete with AMS2

[sage kiln]

AMS2 is doing IMSA only right? So similar cars but not very likely to overlap

I am glad that games are noticing sportscar racing again these days though, not everything has to be F1

[graceful violet]

atm yeah, but doesn't mean WEC can't come later 👀

[graceful violet]

fr, F1 can be fun but it gets boring after a while

[scenic mango]

anyone playing TXR?

[slender verge]

it looks so good i might get it this friday

[sage kiln]

oh wow i've just seen the steam page for it

is it meant to be a throwback to Need for Speed Underground sorta thing?

[scenic mango]

TXR is a series of its own

[slender verge]

its based from the NFS UG era yeah

prime time NFS

[scenic mango]

lmao

[spiral vale]

For the new entry, not at the moment cause I don't have the game.

[sage kiln]

GT1 was so much cooler than GT3

[scenic mango]

facts

the Lambo sound 🤤

[cold crater]

gives me big GTR2 vibes

loved that game

i bought a bunch of old GT cars from racesimstudio for the gtr2 nostalgia sake and only drove them once

simbin do raceroom these days, right?

[sage kiln]

still one of the loudest cars i've ever heard in real life, they hurt

[scenic mango]

hahaha fap xdxdxdxdddddddd

[charred plinth]

Refunded AC EVO and got Tokyo Xtreme Racer instead. Goddamn this game is so much fun, especially with a Wheel & H-Shifter.

I've already racked up 10.5h play time in a single day

[short granite]

36 hours here, despite what many folks have to say i'm quite happy with the difficulty curve

i'm in the middle of a big write-up i want to send over to genki

[scenic mango]

Is that Assetto Corsa? lmao

That is the GTA 3 map

[steep kelp]

Yes

[steep kelp]

AND yes

[steep kelp]

Mazda 787B! Legend!

[charred plinth]

the pain it took to beat that White RX8... Blind luck really, you just have to hope for it to choke and pass it.

[drowsy pelican]

god i love LMU

[cold crater]

probably a fat no but

anyone looking forward to the WRC dlc release tomorrow?

[sage kiln]

Yes

I'm very out of practice for rally, but I enjoy giving it a go

I just hope they add Wales at some point

[cold crater]

wales would be loooovely

definitely feels like somethings missing without it

[median pivot]

I wish my old german map back 🥲

[cold crater]

but i don't think EA give codemasters a lot of budget to work on WRC :(

oooo shit yeah, forgot about that one

really fun in DR2

esp in the wet

[median pivot]

Some proper concrete/asphalt again

Its like a mix of the japanese map we have and the eu one

Fast yet also slow and technical

[cold crater]

getting wiped tf out by a hinkelstein

i really miss rally japan being an offroad muddy rally

[median pivot]

"Rechts Zwo, außen nicht Schneiden, Steine."

[cold crater]

still remember seeing solberg (i think?) getting absolutely wiped out but one

back in't day

[median pivot]

But ngl, the latvia map is fire

Probably my own bias, cause of my roots but its a banger flatout map

[median pivot]

Either you cut and your were totaled or your drift was to wide and you were also totaled

[cold crater]

think they landed on one as well

also yeee latvia is sick

so fast too

[median pivot]

I need to watch rally liepaja at some point once i am there irl again

But we always departed before the big event

[cold crater]

i've never been to a rally irl :(

[sage kiln]

It's good fun, though it's been cold and wet every single time i've gone

definitely one where you want a thermos full of coffee

[charred plinth]

Rali Ceredigion is happening this year in summer, so that's potentially your best chance if you live in the UK to watch a rally event

[cold crater]

wouldn't mind travelling to see one of the WRC events

rally legend always looks really good where-ever that is

[sage kiln]

The AC Legends GTC 60 pack combined with Battenbergring is an amazing combo

[fair cliff]

Thought you might appreciate that image

[foggy oxide]

Oh my god

Fh5 on PlayStation

[charred plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/hold-on-wait-a-minute-somethings-aint-right-hold-up-somethings-wrong-here-gif-17361118

FH5 on PS? Wtf

[foggy oxide]

They just wanna milk this ass game

Wish fh4 was on it too

[sage kiln]

Bet gran turismo doesn't reciprocate

[charred plinth]

FH4 is dead now so... yeah... aint happening ever

[umbral dagger]

i just dont see the point imo

FH5 just entered its death phase of content + updates

and it looks like FH6 is full steam ahead

[charred plinth]

they did this when FH4 came to steam despite the fact that FH5 was very clearly in development at that point

[sand lily]

PS5 has the biggest console playerbase behind the switch, what do you mean no point

[charred plinth]

it's a sign of things to come, and again it means no more of this console wars crap anymore

[sand lily]

There's also no other game like it, since GT isn't really an open world type game like that

[umbral dagger]

true i guess

can give players a bit of a taste before next xbox showcase

[sand lily]

the port was done by Panic Button, which usually does Switch ports, probably going to release on the switch 2 as well later in the year

[spiral gale]

When the Hammond fall asleep

[eternal steppe]

How does the new TXR play with a gamepad? I tried playing with my wheel but it just wasn't really good, tbh...

[sage kiln]

Tried to get the same angle as I did when I saw it in 2015, not far off

[spiral gale]

...

[short granite]

it's perfect for gamepad use

[spiral vale]

👍

Me want TXR 25...

[short granite]

it's incredible

feels fresh but also keeps everything about what made txr good present

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2634950/view/543348069315379637?l=english

they dropped an update this morning too

[spiral vale]

I'm sure one of the updates involved Dejected Angel getting a 'nerf'.

But from the discussion from the other server I'm in, her original stat is intact but handled in a Boss Phase manner.

[short granite]

yes

her first battle is nerfed a bit, but consecutive battles use her old stats

[spiral vale]

It kinda reminds me of Dreaming Wraith in Street Supremacy (Shutokou Battle: Zone of Control) where you have to beat him twice in order for him to join your team.

Meanwhile in Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero...

I finally reached 1000 Kilometers, but I still got 2000 more to go.

[short granite]

🧐

is that txr0 or is it sb0 with the undub patch

[spiral vale]

The former.

[spiral vale]

As I still have Crave's crappy localization for the B.A.D names and the rivals' names and information-

:O

Thanks!

[spiral vale]

I'm downloading the patch right now once I boot up the computer.

[spiral vale]

I think the benefit for me for installing the UnDub edition is the wanderer requirements on the wanderers' bios.

[short granite]

definitely

[spiral vale]

Crave screwed the descriptions for them which made it troublesome for people who are trying battle them.

[short granite]

they intentionally did that to get more sales for their tip hotline

[spiral vale]

Oh.

Huh...

[spiral vale]

Wait no, this patch only covers the B.A.D names, and the Rivals' actual names and Team names.

[short granite]

yes

[short granite]

this is an xdeta patch which is also the same, but installing it is far easier

[spiral vale]

But at least I can finally see the actual Japanese names of the other rivals which is nice. 🙂

[short granite]

you just need an xdelta patcher

now

give me your steam account.

🧐

i will gift you tokyo xtreme racer

...if i can

🥹

[spiral vale]

OH.

[short granite]

nevermind

[spiral vale]

Hmmm...

If TXR would released in other countries then maybe you can.

[spiral vale]

I got the patcher with me now, I did quick work on that.

It reminds that I should try returning to Racing Battle C1 Grand Prix.

[short granite]

i've been playing it on and off, i think im about 40% complete

after you beat the c1 grand prix for the first time, the game opens up and shows you how much you've actually beaten

[spiral vale]

I haven't checked mine in a while as its on a previous laptop...

Plus my progress there is stored on the dell and transferring the stuff from there to my current laptop will be a pain.

[short granite]

😔

ive lost a lot of progress on all of the other titles i've played, so i'm starting from scratch for all of them

[spiral vale]

Same.

[short granite]

same reason too, they're all on my old pc

[spiral vale]

Also, I think its possible for you to gift TXR 25 in Steam.

Pretty sure the game is available on my end.

[short granite]

afaik gifting is region locked

[spiral vale]

Huh, well I gotten Garry's Mod and Stardew Valley as two gifts from different people.

[short granite]

was that before or after 2020? steam changed the way they handle purchases around that time

[spiral vale]

The latter.

I got both games after Steam changed the purchase handling which I didn't know at the time.

[short granite]

ah

[spiral vale]

And the cars' chassis code names as well.

[spiral vale]

Anyways, back to this, I will continue with the mileage grinding.

But next time.

[wild dune]

[charred plinth]

oh they adjusted Melancholic Angel

[foggy oxide]

Presenting the French

[cold crater]

it's that time of year again

[umbral dagger]

Wreckfest 2 launching March 20 under Early Access

[graceful violet]

Ooh intresting

[scenic mango]

I hope it doesn't stay forever in EA like Wreckfest 1 did lmao

[foggy oxide]

Holy shit e63 in motorsport

[charred plinth]

speaking of EA, seems NFS franchise is officially dead

no more updates to NFS Unbound and no future game title announced

[scenic mango]

I'm looking forward to the Unreal remake of Underground 2 being done by fans

There's already a playable demo but without races or anything, just free roam with any car

[white sonnet]

They are working on the new BF game which is why

[charred plinth]

yes

[scenic mango]

FPS games

[charred plinth]

all the devs who worked on the last update on NFSU got moved to Battlefield

and it seems like they are not going to back afterwards once they've finished on it

[white sonnet]

Well only 1 way to find out...

[charred plinth]

sucks, but big EA moment. Typical of them

i've stopped playing NFS anyway

[scenic mango]

It's like Rockstar

Only two franchises

[charred plinth]

partially because the account that had all the NFS games i've purchased is not accessible anymore, I've tried everything

EA App is a pile of crap

also RIP Origin

[sage kiln]

I never had a good experience with Origin, glad to see it go away

I just hope that EA WRC isn't locked to some dumb server

[charred plinth]

it already has some anti cheat, yet the game is single player

[sage kiln]

it'll be because of the online leaderboards

anti-cheat isn't too bad though, people usually manage to switch that off after a while

[wild dune]

gg

[sage kiln]

Trying to get the hang of the GT500 Nissan, it's a bit of a handful on cold tyres

[graceful violet]

[sage kiln]

it's definitely one of the best eras of endurance racing

So much good stuff on track

And some not so good...

[spiral vale]

Well...

Shutoku Revival Project?

[wild dune]

Yep

[drowsy pelican]

[sage kiln]

funny you should mention GT3

[cold crater]

oh hell yee

[slender verge]

https://streamable.com/9nuh7h somehow

video was like 150mb and i cba to compress it for discord so this is the next best thing

[sage kiln]

yeah drift is good fun, i'm starting to get the hang of it

[slender verge]

something about an E92 M3 in a Soviet village makes me smile 🗣️

[slender verge]

love crestas

[sage kiln]

Losail really is one of the circuits of all time

[wild dune]

Hot Pursuit mentioned

[graceful violet]

Such a W game

[white sonnet]

Remaster version i suppose?

[frozen agate]

Yeah remastered, i have got the original version on Steam as well

[wild dune]

Fr

I still play it but online mainly

[cold crater]

semi off topic

but man what a lineup

[charred plinth]

sorry... how much???

[scenic mango]

watch GTA VI cost that if not more

[sand lily]

Is that for the PS5 version?

[charred plinth]

yes

[sage kiln]

Trying out LMU

The FFB is a bit weird

[sand lily]

Early access for a game that's a few years old is... Interesting

[sage kiln]

yeah, it's not ideal

reminds me of DCS modules

[cold crater]

yooo i picked this up the other day too, haven't had time to set my wheel up and give it a proper try yet though

[cold crater]

that does come with nearly every bit of DLC tbf

[dull shard]

Yeah, just the DLC included alone are ~95€ if you were to buy them separately. Although (at least on Steam, don't know if it's a thing on other Platforms) you can also get the in a Bundle for ~50€. But that would still be 10€ more than directly buying the Premium Edition, since the Standard is already at 60€

[graceful violet]

Beamng

[scenic mango]

Yeah but BeamNG isn't backed by a giant corporation

[graceful violet]

I know

[scenic mango]

Not even a publisher IIRC

[graceful violet]

But still, EA after 10 ish years xD

[scenic mango]

It's a unique game

[graceful violet]

Oh that 100%

just a few remarks i personally have

Tyre physics could be way better imo

Cuz of the low poly tyres, it can‘t simulate it decently

And the soft body physics, i know this is a bit hard, but i would also like to see the bumper break off in pieces instead of what it currently is, fuerher scratches would be nice, which i‘m sure can be achieved by using masks and a normal map

Further it‘s 100% a great game with enough potentional

The devs have been cooking a lot, especially with the halogen lights for example, i really like how that turned out

It‘s a small thing but gives more realism

[ripe geyser]

Forza is regularly used as an insult in online racing for any idiots. "go back to forza you *****" 😆

[slender verge]

yet its still a much better game overall, which goes to show, the greedier you get, the lower your quality gets

[desert flame]

I think the early access part has been mis-interpreted. They don’t mean actual early access, it’s 4 days playable early, with full release /standard edition being 29th April

[median pivot]

Cleanest 4WD drift i did

[white sonnet]

What's everyone opinion on WRC?

Yikes

[umbral dagger]

https://youtu.be/wEHFrUwU7XU

[median pivot]

Sliding a Ferrari gives me Miami Vice vibes for some reason

[cold crater]

always interested me but never even played the first one

sounds like it's super early access rn

[scenic mango]

you say that, but when Wreckfest 1 first released it wasn't even called that, and it was more of a tech demo than a early access game hahaha

with a large test map and a single car. This is much better than that

I have hope that Bugbear and THQ Nordic will be able to get the game done in less time than Wreckfest 1 took

APX GP cars are being added as a surprise

possibility of reversed track runs?

[tired token]

£70 patch

[graceful violet]

💀

probs the only reason i'd buy is the My Team 2.0 and Storymode

[umbral dagger]

im hearing really really really good news about the game

[tired token]

Since they've finally left Gen 8 behind I thought the graphics would be better but I guess not

[graceful violet]

Not a fan of that UI

Should allow us to choose from older games icl

[tired token]

Yeah that UI is very uhhh.... weird

[graceful violet]

Feel like they're trying too much

with the Speedometer and stuff

[tired token]

Curious to see what improvements they've made to My Team but last year they said they made huge changes to career mode and that turned out to be almost nothing

[umbral dagger]

i forgot to mention the improvements

but handling model is apparently similar to F1 2020s

Engine Audio is VERY Similar to F1 2021, With the engine whine
Traction is dramatically better, You get almost 0 wheel spin, and seems to be affected more by RPM rather then your speed.

Kerbs don't spit you out anymore and are easier to ride,
New Radio messages
New Race results graphics
TV Cam offset is basically Gyro Cam now

Don't believe it needs any DLC, think it relies on custom shader patch though

ohh is it? i thought it was the ability to just use any car without having to buy/rent it first

but i was only assuming like

modding tools is huuuge though, could really wake the game up

[umbral dagger]

i refunded the game after promising id buy tokyo xtreme racer

(i never did)

[umbral dagger]

dont think anyone cares about F1 25

but finally they added a proper logo editor to place your logos on liveries like these

plus theres like what, 100+ fictional brands

and each brand has around 6 different variants of logo

also

https://youtu.be/j9e6ohemjsI

[graceful violet]

Just waiting until there are unbiased reviews of it, before i would give it a shot

knowing EA

[ripe geyser]

🦌🦌

Too dear 😆

Might give AC evo a punt though

Those of us old enough to remember GP3 we had every season for years as free mods. IIRC we had so many seasons you had to have more than 1 install. Dev made nothing out of them, might be one of the reasons they went to the wall 😆

[umbral dagger]

ive seen alot of beta testers having mixed reviews

of course im not listening to ambassadors yap about it

ill probably still buy it since F1 22 was the last game i bought (awful)

and i feel like coming back to the series again

Some of the car models were provided by RSS too. It's definitely focused on a period of racing (mid 90s) that I love

[scenic mango]

well the LMDH Lambo kind of begs to differ

ACE update dropping today.

[shrewd topaz]

Finally! I hope they will improve performance

7 new cars is also decent

[sage kiln]

I hope they focus a bit more on racing cars in future patches - it seems like the ratio is 1 race to 6 road cars at the moment

[dusty crescent]

Attempted to make a replica

[eternal steppe]

❤️ NSX! Can´t wait for both more JDM cars as well as mid-engine RWD cars. When Cayman? Update is alright, driving still feels really awesome, there´s just not that much to do at the moment. Racing the AI has become a lot better though and picking an older car for a one make race is quite entertaining. I´m really, really craving the open world, though, can´t wait to put up some music and go for a chill ride through the Eifel region. A bummer it´s apparently a long way to go.

[shrewd topaz]

The game really has potential. Its now just up to KUNOs to keep what they have promised.

[ripe geyser]

Just got it, and as an iracing fan I wasnt expecting a lot. But its very decent physics wise, seems about right to me. Does it have FFB? didnt feel any and I was enjoying myself too much to go poking around the menus looking.

[shrewd topaz]

It does have force feedback but Ive heard that it’s not the best from some YT videos.

[eternal steppe]

I really enjoy the force feedback. Since I haven´t played iRacing, no idea how it compares to it, but with my DD wheel I get really good feedback from the cars. You can feel weight transfers, loss of traction and the like, and the different cars feel quite different. E.g. the GT2s are super stiff, while older, more looser cars feel like they should. But then I read that some people have issues with the FFB, as well, so maybe there´s an issue. Though I find FFB to be a very subjective topic where people have different tastes.

[ripe geyser]

Found the FFB settings, the Alpha Romeo Giulia is so much fun!
