SimRacing General: successor to Forza/Gran Turismo/Racing thread - Games

[QUOTE=Animosus;51636083]Sadly Maxitune 5 isn't in the US, honestly it's amazing that Australia even has it. It's such a fun game though, although I have played it in a while.[/QUOTE] It's being released in the US sometime this year but I can't find any list of locations that will have it.

As soon as I have money to spend I'm getting a Xbox One. Bought the Ultimate edition but my PC couldn't handle it. I've had to sell my PC due to some financial problems but I've figured those out.

[QUOTE=gukki;51623759]I still regret getting project CARS even though I've made profit off it [editline]4th January 2017[/editline] Oh shit, I didn't even realize I got another 20 eurobux from them last month [img]https://puu.sh/tbnlD/1b1b2aa104.png[/img][/QUOTE] I don't regret backing project cars because I've made hundreds of euros from it, and because it's a really fun racing game.

Wait what How do you make money from it? :o

[QUOTE=venom;51638095]Wait what How do you make money from it? :o[/QUOTE] The original backing was an investment of sorts, there has been a return on that investment, a percentage based on the sales of the game and what tier you got, I had one of the lower tiers and have got fairly pitiful sums of money but still repaid and then some the amount I backed! Kinda cool.

[QUOTE=venom;51638515]Ohhh, that's neat! Wish I had backed it now.[/QUOTE] At the time it was a risk, not many people trusted WMD with being able to pay people back. In the end it was fine, and everyone got pretty much what they expected. Although the backing ended pretty abruptly and sooner than expected because of an audit or something like that. I don't really remember the details. Another fun perk for the amount I put in was getting my name in the game as an AI driver, so I'm sure I've caused somebody grief at one time or another with an unfair overtake or something. :v:

I quite liked WMD as a system. I put £40 in and I've had £110 or so back I believe. It's proportional to how much you back them for. £40 in, £110 out = £70 net profit and I even got the game included in that price. Also, have a Porsche: [t]https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/524/32060073761_f9747ce178_o.png[/t]

At least it gives me hope that I can still have a chance to play when I move over. I hope it isn't too expensive to play once it comes out there.

This one's my favorite. [t]http://motormavens.com/emAlbum/albums/Contributors/Larry Chen/Events/Redline Time Attack 2010/Buttonwillow Raceway/chris-rado-world-racing-scion-tc-redline-time-attack-copy.jpg[/t] The only actual explanations I've seen for the ones on Japanese police cars is to act as wind deflectors for the huge light-bars they use.

So I never realised with DriveClub that you could steer with the motion sensor in the DS4. So I decided to play with that, combined with a hardcore steering option in the settings and with the camera on the dashboard, and the game is incredible; it feels completely different. It also works with DriveClub Bikes too, where it feels even better. Whereas DriveClub is normally an arcade-y racer, this actually feels more-authentic than most other racing games that I have played. For example, downshifting while in a corner [i]will[/i] fuck you up good, and the slightest amount of braking while cornering can send you into brake-oversteer etc. My lap times are shit, but it feels rewarding as hell. I don't think that I have ever played a racing game that made you feel like you were actually racing, until I set this up. I'm now heaps excited for playing it on PS VR, when I receive my order (even if the graphics will be rubbish).

[QUOTE=Zombii;51641084] also as far as maxitune 5 in the usa, it will probably be at round1[/QUOTE] and it will take a very long time for 5dx to show up

Has anyone here played Seb Loeb Rally Evo? I've heard mixed things about it; the content and physics are meant to be good but with a few technical issues. I've seen pretty much all of the content in Dirt Rally and fancy a change of scenery. Plus BMW 2002ti and Peugeot 504

That sounds good enough for me. I've read that the physics could rival Dirt Rally but tarmac is less forgiving in terms of grip. Plus actual different surfaces across stages. Hopefully the dl doesn't take too long and I can get a couple of hours in after work

I'd try playing it but I can't find the fecking power supply for my wheel

Oh shit, PCARS is on humble bundle monthly. So now I have a extra key, anyone want it?

Can I have it? I've been meaning to get into sim racing, but I have no money to buy a game to go with my wheel.
