I'm not sure what camp I'll fall into with a racing game over something more inherently biased towards creativity like Minecraft, hence trying to pick it up on the cheap.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41689.14&return_msg=41689.10" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41689.14"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41689_15"></a><div class="message" id="message_41689_15"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Drew (X3N0PH0N)<span class="message_time">18 Feb 2016 13:01</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 18 Feb 2016 13:38"></span></span> <span class="message_count">15 of 23</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41689.15">41689.15</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41689.10#a41689_14" target="_self">41689.14</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Yeah, GRID 2 was generally panned. They went in the direction of trying to have broader appeal and ended up just killing what it was that people liked about the game. GRID Autosport is generally considered a return to form.<br /><br /> I'm not really all that fond of TOCA engine games but of all the ones I've played I like GRID Autosport by far the best.<br /><br /> I've just realised you're talking about Project Cars... I was thinking of The Crew (and the Test Drive Unlimited games) for some reason. So yeah, disregard everything I said about Project Cars, I've not played it (though from what I've seen it looks more like a car porn generator than an actual game -_- )<br /><br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41689.15&return_msg=41689.10" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41689.15"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41689_16"></a><div class="message" id="message_41689_16"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time">18 Feb 2016 13:42</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 18 Feb 2016 13:52"></span></span> <span class="message_count">16 of 23</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41689.16">41689.16</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41689.10#a41689_15" target="_self">41689.15</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <span class="emoticon e_lol" title="LOL"><span class="e__">LOL</span></span> <br /><br /> I've no idea about The Crew or Testdrive.<br /><br /> I've been looking at in game videos of Project Cars and the weather system looks great.

It's ropey compared to modern games, but it really gets the rough and tumble close quarters racing. I remember Rally Trophy being ace as well.<br /><br /> I quite like circuit racing, as there's a only a number of corners you've got to learn how to take, you can learn them in 15mins but beyond that it's like you say, getting the right balance of speed and control to do it well, which is enjoyable, providing the game and controller are working properly. I've done a bit of jumping from game to game and the difference in how the wheel feels is immense. It's really stiff (no matter how much tweaking I do) in F1 2014, the Grid games are fairly skittish and it just won't work in Colin McCrae Rally. It only seems to support turning left while going backwards... <span class="emoticon e_sad" title=":("><span class="e__">:(</span></span><br /><br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41689.19&return_msg=41689.10" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41689.19"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DEFAULT" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="41689.20" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
