I am woefully ignorant about this game for two reasons. If it pans out to be bad as in a rushed released over hyped and buggy as hell (which i doubt) i simply cannot be dissapointed, two if it turns out to be amazing as it sure looks great and the physics model tech demos look superb then all i can be is happy.
Something tells me this is going to be really enjoyable because its a proper sim ( i hope) and i currently race a simcade (F12013). I have a DFGT which i have tried my hardest to use and enjoy with F12013 but i cannot get into it because the game feedback for this wheel is very odd to me. I guess because its more simcade the games interpretation of the feedback is just that an interpretation, rather than the developers having actually driven racing cars or gotten direct real driver feedback to the controls as Simbin used to do and probably still do as do the iRacing guys as do ISI i would imagine. I hope that AC will give me a much better feel for this wheel i have to feel proper in my hands and against the track that my eyes and brain working in tandem for.
Currently trying to race F1 2013 with a wheel is like me trying to enjoy my favorite dish but my smell sense isn't working and my hands are seized from arthritis and cutting the food with utensils is awkward or if you have ever done this which is to lift up to your mouth a cup of what you believed to be hot coffee turns out to be stone cold in that instant the brain recalls the lovely taste of hot sugary coffee only for your mouth and tongue to fire that alarming opposite sensation at your brain making me at least retract in disgust (i hate cold coffee more than politicians). In other words doesn't quite feel as normal as i naturally expect it too.There are already sim games out there that have catered for realistic feedback with wheels i know this but i absolutely detest them and have avoided them for two reasons They are ugly and sound horrendous.Namely your favourites like RF or IR. Please don't leap off your mountain to come down and scathe me with your wrath, i totally get why so many of you guys race these games and i admire your passion for them i really do.
Call me a graphics whore or whatever you will but i can't bare games that are old looking with old revamped game engines and far worse than that awful sound effects. It simply makes me cringe. Each to their own i guess but i cannot bare mainstream films for the same reasons, nor pop music or tv shows. Thats me and i cant change that.
I play to be immersed into a fantasy role of being a race driver and glorious visuals and sounds really help me melt away into fantasy land for a few hours whilst i play on my PC at night.This is why i play F1 2013 simply because its a nice looking and sounding racing game.Underneath it all its absolutely rubbish with so much of the sport not included because its a leisure game not a serious e-sport/simulation but it suits me for the time being but it always leaves me wanting something much better looking sounding and playing.
Which brings me back to AC.
AC is looking very nice but i haven't followed it much but i know due to RDs coverage of its news updates i am at least hopeful that its the sim racer you have all wished for for years. So my lovely RD pals. In nutshells what is it that has your hands shaking with anticipation for this wonderful racer ? What is THE thing it has that others of old don't have?
Or you can tell me to not be a lazy sod and give links but i prefer to hear from you and what you think rather than web promo links or other game site
If i drink too much hot coffee i go off in mini rants ,warblings or forum threads. Caffeine does that to me
