rf2 has a very strange feel to me here... feels more like driving on baloons then tires... it got better but still feels weird to me...
I purchased rf2 because rf1 was very good in its time.. and I thought rf2 will be good evolution of it.. but at the moment it feels more like an early pre pre alpha built to me.. nothing you could call a beta... indeed pcars feels better in some cases then rf2 to me... it also has some strange behavior but atleast it doesn't have that ballon feeling... also it is not called a beta like rf2...it has also some realy strange physic stuff going on... if you drive the formula2 car at limerock for example.. and going over the hill... you can make a controlled wheelie like on a bike.. the whole straigt till the next turn... feels broken
RRRE is total crap in my opinion... don't know what went to simbins mind while they developed that...it won't score at the gran tourismo / forza fraction and it won't score at the sim fraction.. from a title like gtr2 to that is a huge step down in my opinion don't know if they can survive that...
Iracing is Iracing.. you like and "hate" it at the same time and is mp wise a whole differend thing...
so AC seems to be the only "next gen" sim which isn't "broken"...is a true sim.. has a great feel..
(I didn't palyed AC yet like most people I need to wait till the tp is for the nkp public available... but I have a strong feeling that AC will be very very good in terms of feel and physics... it feels like it will be the first sim I will like more then lfs, nkp and fva (put lfs in there because for me it feels realy good in a lot of ways) in terms of feeling/physics
... I don't know I just have that feeling.. and because I played nkp and fva I know kunos is the right team to build a very very good sim ... )
in terms of the question of the OP ofcourse we need to wait to see how much popular AC will become but it is already more popular then nkp... and if the word spreads how good AC is when it's released the popularity can grow...
but in the usual mp aspect (where I count leauge and club things into) I don't see much obstacles.. fire up a server with a pw... let people join.. race.. collect the results..
so for me AC seems to have alot potential in that area too.. because like I said before it seems to me that it will be one of the few sims to get it right feeling/physics and graphics wise... even the sound seems to be quite good by judging the videos out there (where the sound still wasn't finished)...
and I see more potential for good leagues etc if the sim itself is right then with a "broken" sim...
