;) Shift2 is okay, I've played it some more. I still think the physics are ass, but it's fun sometimes. I can't manage to get past that darn Lotus challenge yet. That car just slides around, even with all of the assists turned on =\
Fo sho. Was playing Forza 3 just now for the first time since GT5 and it's definitely my favourite. Car physics are spot on, realistic enough but fun. Customisation in Forza is hands down the best too. Engine swaps and big noisy exhausts on a Honda Fit ftw!
See, I hear this and it makes me think you might like it. I too much prefer things like drifting the AE86, or tuning old VTEC Honda hatches, to blazing round the 'Ring in a Zonda with 'on-rails' handling. For that reason, Shift was a lot of fun. Plenty of option to mess with cars, but still arcadey enough to be fun. I…
Yeah it is scary. We hooked it up to a D-box motion chair and on full power it's terrifying! If it makes you feel better I suck at drifting too :) I should try some more but it's too much fun racing in the normal mode. I just upgraded my old Challanger, looking pretty cool 8)
Hey I'm not faking it! haha. Forza 3 had some glitches like this, too. They're fun to find :) This one made my roommate and I jump though, totally unexpected. It's a fun game. I think the driving physics are a bit funky, but overall it's a good experience. I tried playing through one of the earliest Lotus challenges using…
Picked it up yesterday... great fun but is anyone finding it obscenely difficult? I did the pre race thing where it recommends settings and got 'pro' driving, medium difficulty. So I decided to switch assists off and set it to 'elite' but left it on medium. I then spent an hour doing 2 races in the first series. Without…
Who's excited about this one then? I absolutely loved the first one. I've always loved the NFS games since HP2. A few of the more recent games, Undercover, ProStreet etc were a little disappointing but Shift for me was a lot of fun. Seemed to be a nice balance of Arcade/Sim and some reasonable customisation without being…
Played the first one, and was fun for a while, but the physics of the drifting was terrible, and the AI behavior annoyed me to no end, 6 Aston Martins do not pile into a corner at full speed as if they were trying to kill you and themselves at the same time. Which was annoying as all the higher up races were a smash fest…
Yeah there's a few games that have a good sense of speed I guess. I've just spent a lot of time with GT5 recently which I really like but it really doesn't have that sense at all. I definitely recommend at least checking it out Xoliul, it's kinda sim based but still arcadey enough to be fun and not an out-and-out sim. If…
