iamafox Posted 9 May 2015 Share Posted 9 May 2015 The controls are quite fidgety, I have to keep making adjustments until they suit the way I drive. It's difficult to play the game with a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 10 May 2015 Share Posted 10 May 2015 I'm enjoying it. Definitely think I'd be better off with a wheel though. But on the whole definitely the best racing game out so far, just a shame there's no co-op seasons to do (or is there and I've not noticed?), will definitely still get F1 regardless. This will be a game I will enjoy for the next year or so from time to time I imagine, the worries I had with the car list have been alleviated, they all feel so different, most games with 4 times as many cars don't have the same variety.

Beliall Posted 10 May 2015 Share Posted 10 May 2015 i just finished my first season in the clio cup, got invited to the M1 pro car champ. i have put abs on, one less thing to worry about going into corners, i cant brake as late as the AI, i wish i had a wheel too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 10 May 2015 Share Posted 10 May 2015 When you're in the middle of a practice/qualifying session how can you change your settings like stick sensitivity, abs on/off etc, I can only seem to find how to change tyre pressure and all that jazz.

Legend_in_blue Posted 10 May 2015 Author Share Posted 10 May 2015 So far I've only had trouble with the stick sensitivity on the F1 equivalent cars. Everything else, once mastered, isn't such a big deal. I haven't changed any initial settings from the medium difficulty setting as yet. However, I'm thinking of upping the AI to around 75 from the initial 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenfox Posted 13 May 2015 Share Posted 13 May 2015 I got this thinking I probably won't like it & it would be too unforgiving & it certainly is. I don't mind saying I'm usual terrible at driving simulation games & this is no exception. I'm disappointed with the graphics, whilst they are ok I've yet to be impressed. Having said that I'm going to stick with it. There certainly is things to like about this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 14 May 2015 Share Posted 14 May 2015 That is one thing that no racing game (at least that I've played) has managed to do anything about, how unfair online races can be, not sure what can be done but an innovation of some sort must be possible. Forza did something about it. There's an option to ghost out all cars to stop that shit, not the best soloution in my eyes but a soloution non the less. In an ideal world, you'd have some sort of penalty system where anyone doing it would be slowed down to 30mph for x amount of sesconds. Would need some serious AI involved to work out fault (correctly at least) in every case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 14 May 2015 Share Posted 14 May 2015 The penalty system is really frustrating in this. You get shunted by someone just flying in to a chicane, end up cutting it when you were on to take the apex and get a penalty, meanwhile the guy who's shunted you is often slowed down by it enough that he can take the corner and then fly off in to the distance, there doesn't seem to be any form of collision penalty from what I can tell, other than the innocent person more often than not being spun round or cutting a corner and being penalised as a result, certainly not ideal.

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 17 May 2015 Share Posted 17 May 2015 Really enjoying this so far! Had some cracking races in the GT3s, haven't tried online yet as I just get too pissed off with people who cheat! Currently running with ABS and Traction control on because without feedback on the controller it's almost impossible to gauge when something will happen, and difficulty set at 90 which makes me push hard for a top 5 finish.

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 17 May 2015 Share Posted 17 May 2015 Little hint/cheat for everyone. Not been on in a few days so they could of patched this out now but don't think they have... The trophy where you have to drive under 50kmh on the 12 mile course (yeah, sounds like great fun...), Azure Coast I think it's called, you can set gears to manual, put flags/penalties on and 1 AI opponent. Jump the start as soon as the first red light comes on, shift up the gears as fast as possible so you crawl off the line, you get disqualified and the trophy pops.

whoareyaaa Posted 19 May 2015 Share Posted 19 May 2015 Think this is a great game, only had a few hours on it so far but it's classy, no doubt will go all the way through the championship. how are others finding it after playing more hours?

Amin Posted 28 May 2015 Share Posted 28 May 2015 Been having fun with this over the last couple of days with the controller but tonight I got round to hooking up my wheel and it feels so much better. It made driving the old lotus cars a fun challenge rather than impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amin Posted 30 May 2015 Share Posted 30 May 2015 What wheel do you own? Driving Force Pro. I've had it a few years now and unfortunately the pedals are knackered. They work if you get the cable in a specific position but if it gets knocked, it takes 30 minutes of fiddling and re-calibrating to get it back up and running. The wheel itself is still good though. I managed to keep the pedals working all afternoon yesterday, allowing me to complete a full race weekend at Spa, with a 35 lap race. I've had the game since Tuesday but according to steam, I've already sunk 14 hours into it. I've not even started the career mode yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably enjoy it more with a wheel, unfortunately I don't own a PC but I had my sights set on buying the game for PS4 anyway. I'd love it if we get a future update from Sony/Logitech to make the Driving Force wheels work on the PS4, especially with Project Cars and GT7. Because it seems like Thrustmaster are leading the way in the steering wheel market at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 30 May 2015 Author Share Posted 30 May 2015 I'm pretty sure that Logitech are putting together a new wheel for the PS4. An image of this was leaked last week. Will probably get a mention at E3. Here's the link... http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/is-this-the-new-ps4-logitech-g29-racing-wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
