The F1 game is quite fun too, not the most realistic racing game but the only place to get this years F1 cars and tracks.
-
Huh? The wet track in arcade is different to the wet track in other modes?
-
*cough* wheel *cough* 😉 I do like the daily races, they’re generally clean and close racing. As for the rain though, I found it a bit odd. Obviously I have no real experience of race cars in the wet but they didn’t seem as slippery as I expected.

Tbh most games aren’t all that much trouble to set up on wheels. I don’t think PC2 would be either as it should be a case of just installing the new ffb file. I am tempted to get it as the career mode is supposed to be one of the best. But I also really want to try out some of the Assetto Corsa mods and leagues. Why is there never enough time for all the games 😢
-
Did you get it on pc or ps4? I’ve been looking at it for the PS4 to bring in October. However the wheel force feedback isn’t that great by all accounts. It isn’t any better by default on PC but there is a ffb mod for it that makes it a lot better. So I’m torn between PS4 or PC.....or just settling for the other 8 racing games I already have 🤪
-
I played quite a few matches as and when I could fit them in. A couple moments that made me wonder about the connection but mostly it was fine. Certainly better than previous CoD’s and I’m hoping that continues in to the full game. It’s still early days but it’s gone from another CoD I’m not going to buy to a definitely maybe.
-
Was I being blind last night and not noticing or have they added another game mode? There’s now a mode where you start with no guns and pick them up off the floor.
-
100% agree Gary, I get the impression most people feel the same. The problem is that they only need a small number of people buying loot boxes to make them worth it. 1 person spends £100 on loot boxes, that covers the next 9 people that don’t and nets them more profit than they would make if all 10 bought a new game.
-
It completely depends how they implement the loot boxes. I don’t really have a problem with loot boxes that don’t change the game. But them if you want to but there’s no cost to me for not buying them. It’s when they become Treyarch style of loot boxes and have OP guns in them that then ruin the game and there’s no other way to get those guns. I understand why they had to be OP guns though, they needed people to feel they got something good for the hundreds or thousands they spent on loot boxes. That’s great but it ruins the game and alienates people who can’t or don’t want to buy loot boxes. I suppose though it must make financial sense. If they’re making 800million in 3 months on lootboxes that is way more than they could make on releasing a new game and getting new customers. I know I’m building myself up for disappointment but I’m still hoping that they will be cosmetic only or stupid items that don’t actually affect the game.
-
This is looking good, for the first time in a number of years I am looking forward to a CoD. Though I’m still waiting to find out how they will ruin it.
-
Welcome aboard Lemmy! Good to have another racer on here, what racing games do you like to play?
-
My times depends on car and track but I think I have someway to go to be on their level. I watch some of Super GT’s videos and I struggle to see what he does differently to me yet he is a second or 2 faster than I am. Currently I’m upper B and I’m trying to get in to A but I think S may be an impossibility. Plat is an impossibility too I think, I’ve had (I think) 5 race wins in 100-110 races. They were all as I climbed the ranks too so where I was racing slower people but since I’ve plateaued a little I can’t buy a win 😞 Still I’ve been getting more into racing again recently so maybe there is a little more speed to come. Edit: BTW, are you coming in October? I thought you were but couldn’t see your name on the list. Only ask as I’m planning to take my wheel so you could see if you could improve your times.

FG'S BIGGEST ROAD TRIP EVaR OMG OMG OMG !!!!
Greboth replied to Diddums's topic in Site info and announcements
I scare myself in a car so what could go wrong on a bike 🤣 There are some fantastic driving / riding roads in the Alps. I can recommend some beautiful places round there like Lake Annecy, Sainte Foy etc. but I’m not sure they’re a place for a few young fellas on bikes 😂 -
The FG Homepage - your thoughts please
Greboth replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in Site info and announcements
I can’t think of anything specific that I’d like to see as most of it is covered already. Instead of specially being newest quiz’s, recent posts etc separately. Could you have a whats hot which lists the top 5 or 10 things going across everything? The only potential issue I see with that is how do you determine if a quiz or guide or more popular than a post or thread. -
Ahhhhh no, you’re put in to a random lobby depending on your DR (Driver Rating) and SR (Sportsmanship Rating). If we were all the same DR and SR then maybe. Though the chance of that happening depends on how many lobbies are created for each race which I don’t know.
-
Unless I’m misunderstanding your question, yeah we could all enter the same online race. Not the official gt sport races but any public lobby or a private lobby we set up then yeah.
-
Wheel! Wheel! Wheel! Wheel! Wheel! Wheel! Wheel! Errrrr I mean the decision is yours. To be fair, braking on most wheels is a little odd as they use a spring for resistance rather than pressure. You can get load cell pedals but then you’re getting in to silly money.
-
I can understand that @GazzaGarratt I decided against doing the full sessions. Still going for half distance though so a decent number of laps to race. The frames look good and I’d love one but I don’t have the room for one. Still most wheels allow you to clamp them down to a desk which is what I do. It isn’t perfect and I can’t place the pedals quite where I’d like. However a wheel does add so much to racing games and it is easier to drive more consistently. If you’re interested in racing games then I’d recommend a wheel to anyone. I think the only difference between console and pc is graphical. I haven’t really looked at the console as I wasn’t really paying much attention to the game but it does look lovely on pc.
-
Damn those laps look close. I guess it is a testament to how good track mapping has gotten these days.
-
It really does add to the game and a wheel is far better than a controller but they aren't cheap and they do take up quite a bit of space especially compared to a normal controller. So a little more practice tonight, decided to go full on practice no driving aids whatsoever. I managed to get my Melbourne time down to a 1:28. something. I looked at the real qualifying times - 1:20! Hmmmmm I might have someway to go yet. I was looking at the career too, launching a pro career turns the ai up to 110!!!! I can't even keep up at 80 😢
-
Have you been spying on me again? 🤣

I don’t wholly disagree with your post but the don’t buy it does work. The problem is though is that people are still buying the games / loot boxes. If they weren’t then, by your own arguments as there wouldn’t be profit in it, they wouldn’t do it. I honestly feel we’re at a point where we need a huge change, a paradigm shift if you will, to have things better. I’m not disillusioned to think we could have amazing games for cheap prices or anything like that. However the more people that don’t pre order, that don’t buy day 1, that wait to find out of a game is actually a full game at release, that don’t buy loot boxes etc. Companies like EA, Bethesda, Blizzard etc. would have to change practices or ultimately face closing their doors.
-
I assume the video you saw was Super GT’s? You do and you don’t have to be, coming in to heavy braking zones with all the downforce, you can stamp on the brakes no problem. It is as the downforce comes off and you turn in that you really need to be careful with the brakes. While just trying to learn Albert Park, I left TC and ABS on. Though I want to do a proper season so I’m going to try with no aids at all. A wheel you say, do it 😉 you know you want to, give in to your temptation 😉
-
At least you didn’t talk about being sucked 🤣 Which track was that? The last I did was Mount Panorama which I love but I think that was a week or 2 ago now. You mean trying to win a race isn’t challenging enough? lol. I keep finding I qualify mid pack so think if I qualify a little better then I’ll have a chance to win. So set a better qualifying time and then somehow start further down the grid. I will have to try without abs at some point as to do the f1 career properly you can’t use abs.
