Oppositelock game reviews?

What is your general opinion on the game?

Honestly I am kind of worried. I've played it quite a bit and while I do enjoy the driving model and appreciate the massive track list the actual career seems kind of boring since according to the devs everything is unlocked from the start thus no progression. Plus with the game lacking any customization or real tuning options, I am really worried about the game's replay value.

All in all it comes across as a more hardcore version of Grid.

Oh I will. Hopefully the Rift is out by that time as well.

I just want them to release the Wii U version already. They say its going to be an awesome version of the game with use of the game pad, but I'm getting impatient!

Perfect, I am picking up the car mechanic game on Steam, looks really simple.

The project cars graphics looks crazy, wonder if the Rift will be ok with it!

I foolishly didn't get in the development window so I don't have any hands on, but I'm pretty confident that it will be the best "car" sim on the pc. Asseto Corsa might have better tracks, but I have heard it isn't great as a game (I'll probably pick up AC after pCARS comes out and do a comparison, I'm mostly waiting on the rift at this point). I like a certain level of adjustability, but I know I would never be able to set up a car properly if I had full control (shift 2 had tons of adjustability and I used it, but I wasn't really testing all the different changes I made). I would like there to be the overall adjustments (grip/downforce/drivetrain etc) that showed what was being changed with the ability to fine tune the individual sliders if you chose. I have no idea if that's how they are doing it though.

I have heard that at 1080p my gtx770 will be able to get 60fps, who knows what the production versions will do though.

From what I have seen PC has the best track list but AC has a lot more depth to it's racing but yeah AC is very much a sim and lacking the whole game aspect. As for tuning it seems to have quite a bit of depth, not quite Forza depth but very good none the less.

Ya, would suck if it only ran on desktops at highest quality.

I would be surprised if they can't make it look as good as the other big console titles

I have been looking forward to this game since the beginning of summer and now I see it's release has been delayed (on PS4) until April 2015. I still want it, I just want it now! Kinda thinking about building a new PC for racing too so maybe it is worth getting on PC if I can have it sooner. BTW I think Steam is a great service.

I'm really on the fence about preordering. From what I've seen, it really looks like a Forza type of game, where its arcade meets sim, but what I loved about Forza and GT was the customization of cars, and spending hours making liveries and stuff like that.

Do you know if PCars has this? I think I'm probably going to preorder though.

It has more realism than any console game to date. I do hope they allow visual customizing.

That's all I'm going to say about pCars.

Don't! car mechanic sim was a real disappointment for me. I expected a modern Gearhead Garage but ended up with something that's fun for the first 10 minutes and then get really, really repetitive. There are a lot of things that are annoying about the game, for instance camera control en some things that just don't make sense.

I have both (and did get into the dev window) and I have to say that AC wins it for me. Maybe it's just because I've played PCARS a lot in the beginning. I haven't tried the campaign yet, as for when the last time I played it, it wasn't done yet.

What makes AC better IMO?

PCARS looks less great, but damn it is heavy on your pc if you want to make it look decent with a full field of cars.

Might be a personal thing but handling in AC is more predictable.

AC supports mods.

AC has pretty good AI.

But don't get me wrong PCARS is an awesome game. I have to boot it up sometime to see how much it's changed again.

Best race sim on consoles? Yes. On pc? personal preference I guess.

I watched a few videos of the gameplay and it looked way too simplistic.

It is. And its just not that well executed. You're much better off figuring out a way to get Gearhead Garage running on a modern pc and see if there are still some mods for it on the webs.

Yeah I'm hella excited too, but so many games are hyped then just fall flat or are plagued with bugs, I don't preorder games anymore.

I usually don't, this is the exception for me.
