If for example rFactor 2 was the modding communities sole focus, maybe we’d see more co-operation and less duplication.

As it is mod teams are struggling to release mods that match upto the graphical standards of next gen consoles and release them in a decent time frame.

JAGUAR1977:
The resistence to everything console related is becoming tiresome, they are becoming the lead sim platforms for professional development teams.

If this is so, we are indeed doomed.

Perhaps you should do a little research rather than reiterating all of the insecurities of the PC sim community?

The team behing NFS Shift are the developers of GTR2 and GT Legends, if you wish to write off that game due to it’s name, rather than the team and technology behind it, that’s your loss.

As for Codemasters, Grid and Dirt are arcade games, to claim they are Codemasters idea of a sim is ridiculous. If you couldn’t careless about laser scanned tracks and make judgments based on PSP and Wii trailers, I’m not sure your opinions hold much weight.

P.S. Does Toca 2 run on XP or Vista? I would love to play it again!
Check the awsome weather-effects :) : http://img.neoseeker.com/screenshots/R2FtZXMvUGxheXN0YXRpb24vUmFjaW5nL0Nhcg==/toca_2_touring_car_challenge_image2.jpg

So when it comes to bringing an officially licenced F1 game back to the PC, I’m prepared to give them a chance at it. Only 1 though :)

Among my group of sim friends, even the PC version falls into this category.

It’s Codemasters. I mean come on, have you not SEEN what Codemasters consider to be sims? It’s embarrassing.

That intro vid was kind of cool, would be sweet if our American tv broadcast had opening intros like that, maybe get some more people interested in F1 out here for the technology aspect.

PC SIM developer they maybe could do the sim some fishing simulator or chess simulator ?!!?!?! WTF ?

list of their sims :

- grid

sims , hmm maybe like sims2 tresure island or something :|

REMEMBER MY WORDS (one) : MARKETING ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY CASH $$$$ 1,000,000

i dont feel like i should give them my money for what ? i better spend it on Crysis or Brothers In Arms

the first thing i can buy right now is RF2 with my eyes closed no matter the price :]

most celebrated ?? not for me there is loud about nfs too and i didnt played it cause i CANNOT drive it i DONT KNOW how ?!

with my DFP set too 445 degrees its impossible to drive any grid or nfs you feel like you are not driving a car but some hovercraft and for hovercraft i once drived one in Crysis warhead – way better than grid :D

if you guys want to play real F1 title that will include all the teams licensed cars go here :

rFactor2

pc sim developer thats a good joke

losers shouldnt drive games like grid nfs etc – the first thing which they do is killing theirselfs on the real roads or innocent people – thats insane

codies sims should be called unreal driving

for last THEY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO HIRE BEST INGENEERS in the world to make best pc simulators , they dont do it , because they dont want to do it , they minds tells them that the money which they can earn on stupid game for losers are more than real simulator

their marketing chiefs are wrong lets be honest , there are more losers in the planet called earth than real enthusiasts , thats their marketing

and i dont want to be treated like an idiot , thats insults me ..

ps

laser scan tracks ? what for ? who needs them ? me, no i never driven any of the circuits and i will never do so laser scaned tracks , hmmmm if you need them go ahead

maxs:
(and loosers ?)

Whats a ‘looser’ ? Someone who wears loose fitting clothes ?

oh wait.. you mean loser.
Lose oor Loser has never had a doouble ‘o’ soo it coonfused me.

I doubt you’ll need to worry, I’m sure F1 2010 will blow away anything else on the PC by a considerable distance given how far ahead next gen console graphics are compared to PC sims.

‘i am not playing nfs , codemasters stuff and other “things” , waste of time’

So you won’t be playing the latest title from the most celebrated PC sim developer of recent years or a licensed F1 title that will include all the latest sim developments such as laser scanned tracks.

OK, your loss.

i wouldnt even let my 3 year old niece play dirt or grid – she plays 4×4 hummer off road simulator and enjoys very much she also played this mod from RFC http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Miniville

dirt and grid where pathetic on my pc hardware i do not hope F1 will be better – its the marketing stuff

i am not playing nfs , codemasters stuff and other “things” , waste of time

If I get F1 2009, it’ll have to be the PSP version.
Can’t stand the Wii’s “waggle” control method.–Too sloppy and imprecise, even by console standards.

You do not need to use motion controls to drive Mario Kart. I highly doubt you need them for F1 2009.
