I rarely do any challenges or anything offline except for hot lapping, but I did try a few TT challenges in AC and the ones I tried I found extremely challenging. At the time, having recently come from playing GT6, I expected I'd be blowing away the target times by a half dozen seconds or more. On the few that I tried it was a real challenge just to reach the slowest time and I consider myself a very good sim pilot.

Thank you for saying that. I think the easiest time should be attainable. I'm about 5 seconds behind that time in most instances.

That ING UK review is spot on, also just read the F1 2016 review. AC definatley took a step back with the "must come 3rd" approach to career. Forza gets so much stick for that yet AC seems to get away with it form the hardcore fans.

I've never seen any "hardcore AC fans" give the career mode a pass. In fact I rarely even see it discussed because most of us don't bother with it, no need for it. I haven't touched it in well over a year. We've always said from the beginning that console users will probably be a bit disappointed with it, it's serviceable but not great and doesn't measure up to other games' careers. The hardcore fans don't even really acknowledge that it exists.

A lot of guys said it might as well get removed, remember this one guy saying its a stain in the name of Kunos.

I'd agree for sure. If it were me I'd have probably 5 levels of achievement with the slowest time being reachable by the majority of drivers and the fastest being alien tested and achievable by only a handful of drivers. Having looked at the RSR Live Timing Leaderboards many times over the last year and a half, I can say without a doubt there is a wide spread in lap times even near the top of the leaderboard. On the busiest leaderboard so far after the recent reset, the top 20 best times are 2 seconds apart. 100th place is 4 seconds back. And that's on a 90 second lap.

Based on that leaderboard, I'd set up a challenge where the earliest achievement was in the 1:35-1:36 range and the top target was in the 1:28 range.
 
So far, I've really only been doing hotlaps at Spa with a variety of cars to see how they feel. The McLaren 650 S GT3 is ridiculous. Surprisingly, the Ferrari's are boats. I need to learn how to drive them, obviously.
The career mode is kinda boring...but I'll slog through it. That said, the sound of these cars are freakin' AWESOME and the FFB (after fiddling with settings) is super smooth. Overall, I'm pleased...but I find it disconcerting when you finish a race and nothing happens. At first I thought I was mistaken about being on the final lap....only to teleport to the pits.
Again, while it's not very polished, it's pretty awesome nonetheless!!

Does anyone know...is it possible to set up leagues to race in? I haven't been able to figure out where to do that...or if it's even possible.

I'm sure I've had this happen before so I used the PS app on my phone and it worked there. Worth a shot.

I tried in the PS Store app on my PS4 and worked the first time, woot!

Confirmation again that Kunos is working on the balance of the AI difficulty:

Any news on changing the tier 3 times of some of the hotlaps? I tried the McLaren MP4 @ Catalunya and just missed the tier 1 time with changing the tires to softs and TCS on :ouch:

No private lobbies at the moment unfortunately so for online you can only race against random people. And online seems to be region locked.

Don't make a decision based on the poor reviews or negative reactions at some forums. It's definitely worth buying IMO.
It's driving heaven.

I haver a Fanatec CSR that I wanted to use for it. Can't do that anymore.

I spend most of my time racing online, & the online is threadbare.

I have no interest in a career mode or racing against the AI.

I have virtually no interest in time trials or hotlapping.

It's not for me, at the moment.

No wonder I couldn't figure it out. I'll hope that that's something they'll consider developing...

After looking at the review briefly it appears the Spanish review looked at the game for what most of us thought it would be. A great driving simulator where the standout feature is the driving experience and everything else is secondary to that experience. The other review tends to look at it as an overall gaming experience which never has been and never was touted as either the focus or strongsuit of the game. It would be similar to both reviewers doing a review of GT6 and one focuses on the overall game and the other zero's in on the physics aspects of the game, in which case, they'd provide the opposite review to AC.

With all due respect Johnny my copy says "your racing simulator" on the front of the box and the disk..... It should be reviewed on the racing side of it not jut hot lapping... now if it said "your hot lapping game" i'd give it 10/10...

Well might be splitting hairs here, but I've also wondered why the hell they decided to go with "racing" instead of "driving".

I didn't say it should be reviewed one way or the other. I'm giving my impressions of what I see in the reviews and attempting to answer the question of why the two reviewers came to different conclusions. Your personal experience may vary.

I'd wager Sony wouldn't be happy as GT is the "real driving simulator".... Ad man, your a bad man..

I believe a few people asked for videos of colliding with the AI yesterday on pc just so i can show what the latest AI is like and yes im driving like a nutcase on purpose, im slightly better normally.





Watch the indycar in the second video, watch how quick it has recovered and secondly it gets stuck behind the kia on a straight. Not perfect but seems better then what people have complained about.
Click to expand...


Wow, you really struck the car hard on 1st video, almost like trying to send someone off the cliff in GTA V :P and the second video, looks much better on PC. Do the AI have you know, aggression, steer back when rubbing or hit back at the players ? I was worried the cars would be like some games where the AI cars are like floating driving fortress that bounces players car like it was made from plastic :lol:

Well its there for people to read, you suggested the Spanish review understands the game is just simply a driving sim for hot lapping, i pointed out that my copy calls itself a racing simulator, I imagine a reviewer isn't doing himself any favors just reviewing the hot lapping aspect of a game.
It does seem to be getting glowing reviews from Italian and Spanish reviewers.
It needs a rounded impartial review. Anyway Scaffs review (on here) is the best out there for this for anyone hovering on getting it.

Scaff's review was very good as were several others, but again, my purpose was only to explain why, IMO, I though each of the reviewers in question provided the scores they did, not to say one is better or more appropriate than the other.

Like I posted earlier. Wait a few weeks,give Kunos some time to patch/update the game. Wheel talk about it later.
 
I'm having a blast with this game on PS4. I've had it on PC since Early Access but never really played it all that often on PC since I far prefer consoles. I haven't set up my T300 with it yet but I plan on doing that sometime this weekend, playing with the DS4 is still a hell of a lot of fun though.

i have a question. i was doing germany fury in the special events. i used abs but not tc. how come the car would just bog down in the corners on throttle and not increase in speed or turn?? the car just lazily plows. in gold medal videos, i saw people use the same amount of lock - if not more - and be able to come nicely out of the corners. i thought it was stability at first, but i had the same issue when using 0%.

for example - if i try using that corner speed, the car just wont turn for me.

We don't have the ability to map any of the buttons, be it on a controller or a wheel, as such button boxes are also not supported, we don't have the range of wheel and pedal set-up options that exist on the PC, nor do we have the drag strip or Italian Hill Climb (which I was looking forward to), we don't have the ability to set the track's rubbered in condition and the AI seems to be quite a few patches behind the PC release.

As such I don't think what's been removed is unreasonable to want, in fact I quite certain that if these were missing from the PC version it would raise a few questions.

But we don't have the console menu system, we're second class citizens :sly: Ok, I don't have the console version so I don't know everything that's different but from what I understood the basic game seemed similar. The consoles always seemed to have more limited controller functionality.
