Another note to the side of feel is vision, while in a race car your vision is restricted due to roll bars, hans device, being lower down in the car etc,
But I find just something as simple as looking immediately left is a difficult task, as most games force you to have a button assigned to move the screen left or right if you dont have a 3 screen set up and then you need to locate what you are looking for, mirror, gauge etc, which in real life wouldn't require you to move your head so much,

Yes I've done track days and raced karts and learnt to drive a car at about age 10, its easy, the hard part is pushing to the very limit on beyond.
I must say any time i'm in a car or on a motorcycle i don't really care at that moment if i stack it, at least i mean i'm not thinking about that or death etc... prior to a race/track day or riding a motorbike i will be nervous but in the moment i honestly don't think about the consequences otherwise i'd pull over and never do it again.
Funnily enough its why i wont ever have a road motorbike ever again a I cant trust myself.
My brother is a racing driver and he said that when he had his first child he was thinking about him first time he went on track in practice session and it slowed him down a bit. But by the time the race started he didn't think of ANYTHING but progressing and trying to win.
I am French though so if you see anything of French drivers we are fearless..or is that i mean reckless?
To edit i am obviously wrong about this fact same as Ian Bell and Mario of AC, i mean its a good job they don't allow very rich people to buy seats in race series driving those impossible cars to control the world over isn't it.

Some of the latest F1 sims even cover this, with drivers in a sealed environment that allowed both temperature and humidity to be controlled and cables attached to the helmet and HANS to allow forces to be placed on the head and neck. Combined with a rig that simulated the movement of the car.
Dario Franchitti looked at one for the ITV programme Goodwood Cars of the future, which was on over Christmas in the UK.

As with any game on console you should be able to rent it from a DVDs rental place for a few days.

I find the approach of Kunos very refreshing so far, very open book and a lot of early console footage, there was no xbox one footage of PCars right up until launch, and we all know why that was..
So far really liking Kunos and will feel a lot happier spending my money on people I like.
Next test will be is the game launch hit a delay like PCars, as we know delay doesn't always mean "they are working to get rid of all bugs" and it actually means "bit off more than we can chew or ever hope to produce"

Well, at least with AC they've had a fully functioning and (mostly) bug free version of the game working fine on PC's for well over a year now. So, in theory all they have to do is port it to the console and make sure everything worked properly. With PCars they were developing the game and its features right up to the last minute, as well as trying to make it work on multiple platforms, which resulted in a cluster...... Not saying console AC will be bug free, but at least they started from a more stable starting point and (in theory) had less work to do.

No but we aren't 1 day away from launch either, so far, so good, i accept the xbox 1 version will be at a disadvantage but very much doubt it would be enough to render it pointless. SMS just messed up with PCars launch, but as some of the WMD guys have said (and SMS never came on to say they were wrong) PCars was a big experiment and was flawed but the bits that went well were good, we also know that SMS out sourced console Q & A on the cheap!! but as we know PCars 2 will be better...
Personally I play the xbox 1 version and find it great and play a lot and the bad parts seem to be relevant in the other versions too judging by the technical sections in official forum.

The XBone version of PCars is 900p isn't it?No but we aren't 1 day away from launch either, so far, so good, i accept the xbox 1 version will be at a disadvantage but very much doubt it would be enough to render it pointless.

It is my view that we people should be grateful for what we have. GT6 is definitely more than good enough yet we all still crave for 'something better'. Just human nature I guess hey.

Well if you put it like that.. In my view, as an offline player, is to ask you this. In what way is the worst GT ever made good enough? What should I be grateful for? PAYING actual MONEY for a Race Game that has no Racing in it because the AI actually gives up and lets you win!

If the quality and experience doesn't move on and improve we have stagnation, which is not a good thing.

Well that's a U-turn from your original post.
However I would contest that GT6 is not 'more than good enough' certainly in terms of physics and AI, so why should we not want something better?
Do you not want GT Sports to be better than GT6?

Care to educate us on what part of gt6 is "more than good enough"? GT5 was better than GT6, GT5 wasnt exactly great. GT6 was legit one of the most boring and uninteresting games i have ever played. So many things that are bad about it, and to add insult to injury and make matters worse i noticed a damn stone out of place on the moon!

Just pre-ordered on PS4. No wheel yet so I'll be using the controller. Praying the game handles better than Project Cars did when it released on PS4 last year. Fingers still crossed we get a release date for GT Sport soon as that may persuade me to hold off on purchasing Assetto Corsa at first.

Lol, yeah don't worry about all the major problems with the core of the game Kaz, but if one rock is out of place on the moon, I'll be pissed hahaha

I've got AC on PC which I normally play with a wheel but I've got a bad back at the moment so can't sit in my rig. So played it with an Xbone pad yesterday and controls felt really good. I don't think you should worry about playing with a pad. However, the game, and all games for that matter, are infinitely better and more involved if you use a decent wheel in my opinion.

Yep, thing is for years PC players have been playing quite ugly 'sims' and calling Forza and GT arcade and 'all about the graphics' now since PCars the PC lot are harping on about graphics..... if a game runs at 900p or whatever well doesn't really bother me but then i am someone who likes gaming as part of a balanced life.

same i can't wait to get a wheel set upthis game looks amazing
If the game turns out just way the alpha-build and like PC, you might as well get a wheel. I was on that same boat years ago, holding off for years on getting a decent wheel as it's not the cheapest peripheral on the planet. But when I eventually did, oh boy, I was like being born a cripple who can finally walk for the very first time. Yes you can have just as much enjoyment on a game pad, but until you have a decent wheel, you will never appreciate the car physics and tracks in the game as much.
Just make sure you get decent current-gen Force feedback wheels (anything but a Logitech). Without going off-topic (like "GT6 is/isn't good enough" debate *Cough), if you have any question, should ask in FFB wheel buyers guide or the Sim hardware section of GTP forum.

If this is about your claim that driving in sims is harder than real life, you are wrong. You can't tell me you think you could do a sub 7 minute lap of the Nordschleife in a Lotus 72 in real life, but in Pcars it's relatively easy. As far as rich people buying seats in race cars, those rich people also have to have at least proven to be good at racing, in order to get a seat. Look at Maldonado, he's arguably the worst driver currently in F1, and is a pay driver, with millions of pounds behind him coming from PDVSA, and yet he is a GP2 champion, and a Formula One race winner.
It's easy to say pay drivers are only in motorsport because of their money, but the fact is, these days you need talent and money to get into top flight motorsports. Fernando Alonso has multi million pound backing, but nobody would question whether he deserves his spot in F1.
All consumer level sims are considerably easier than real driving, because if they weren't the average people who buy them would suck so badly they wouldn't play them, and if people aren't playing they aren't buying sequels, and if they aren't buying, the genre ceases to exist. It's nice to think we're all driving gods, but let's not get carried away thinking a racing game is as hard, let alone harder, than the real thing.

Didn't say that, i said sims can make driving seem harder than it really is (i.e. can't get round a corner in a racing car at 40mph without rear end coming round etc or just bust physics).... I'm not the only one saying this and 2 heads of the biggest most important console games to be on both PC and consoles think the same, i'll not change your view you wont change mine.
