So... What's it like?

[Sunil Odedra]

Can u tell us or is there a suckey eggsey NDA blocking that sort of thing?

Would love to hear how physics is mainly, maybe in comparison to NetKar pro or rf2?

 

[David Ignjatovic]

I feel its like race07 same arcade driving

Race07 and GTR Evo are proper sims.

 

[David Ignjatovic]

How does the physics model compare to netkar?!

Different world.

 

[Andi Goodwin]

imho there is no such thing as a proper sim / we play simulation games or games that have aspects of simulation / ive never seen a press release saying redbull are happy with there $50 investment in "whatever sim game" and believe it will give them the edge over there competitors ..... all of the games we play have aspects of simulation in them ... and each one pleases people in different ways or not at all , its like some people like loose cars and some like tight cars , neither person is wrong its what suits you thats all /
there is no best/worst just opinion and conjecture and thats what makes things interesting

there is more than one way to cook an egg / but its still an egg

i

Race07
GTR1/2
GTR EVO
Netkar
FVA
GSC
rf2
iracing

All these games are sims, as to which is the most realistic is always going to be debatable, but for me, I feel that GSC and GTR EVO are the two that not only feel like you're driving a car, they work extremely well with my equipment, IOW, the basic operation of the steering wheel and pedals is exceptional with these 2.

RE3 has some good FFB effects happening, but doesn't have superior physics and overall FFB compared to GSC/EVO IMO.

I strongly recommend the Get real mode to anyone who likes driving/racing games, but IMO, only AC/Reiza and the top rf2 modders will be producing proper updated sims.

Hmm... I guess you could argue, based on this, that Outrun was a simulation

not if you read my post you couldnt ......

The only piece of R3E that's not a Sim is Andi, he's from Great Britain and lives in France. Does that make him a "Simcade Andi"?

 

[Andi Goodwin]

it makes me have a sun tanned bum ...;

Different kettle of fish all together with the Get Real mode enabled from what i have just experienced with the closed beta. Impressed, Simbin are on to something here. The FFB is very fun and alive

 

[Philip Antonia]

Sadly with my crappy broadband I only finished d/loading b4 going to see my kids, so my first taste of "Get Real" will be in the morning

But from what I've heard from many sim racers who I know and respect I'm pretty sure I'm going to enjoy myself well past my bedtime.

 

[Dux]

For now i have driven only the demo and is fantastic!

 

[Philip Antonia]

Ok, I can't say much in respect to the NDA I agreed to, but all I can say is..... I've just had to drag my arse from my PC to get some sleep or I would have been driving all day!!!

I'm suitably impressed so far.

You forgot rFactor 1

You forgot rFactor 1

And GT Legends

I am reconsidering to buy the offer on steam of SimBin ... Mega Bundle for about 35 euros

Does anyone knows how much space it is required? I have 500gb HD but i have a problem that my steam is in C directory and there is the where i have lowest space.

And also, does anyone knows how to, when i download them to get the games separate from Steam as one unique collection of games so i can install them again whenever i like to. Or with deleting steam i will delete the game also.

 

[Peter]

You can use a Steam spreader to move games on other HDD.
When you delete Steam the games don't work.

Got me invite today. All I'm gonna say that it's totally different beast compared to teaser. No one should judge this sim based on teaser. There's definately Simbin fingerprint in it.

My thoughts too.

 

[Stefan Mizzi]

Hmm, what can I say...oh wait I can't say anything really

I'm quite impressed, not there yet, but very close!

 

[Marian Zelenka]

I tried it for the second time and deleted it again after a few minutes of frustration. Don't know what you are driving, but I was driving motorboats. Two "cars" with the same dead twitchy FFB with some deadzone around center. Why they put this on Steam as an open beta is beyond me.
