are you ready for forza ?

Lets be clear I wasn't putting down Forza. I was simply detailing my observations. With that said I think its a problem when a game touts itself as a sim when in reality its sim arcade or pure arcade. If I buy Forza Apex and love driving Brands Hatch then pick up Assetto Corsa several months later I will be in for a bit of a shock .

Now Horizon 3 seems like a more logical route to take (no pun intended, hehe) Open world driving and doesn't tout itself as simulator. I liked Forza Apex more when it was keyboard driving only, with a wheel it feels off. At the end of the day none this really matters its all an illusion.. hahaha /infinite shrugs/

 

1. You can unlock the framerate, limit it to 30 or 60. So don't state something as a fact if you don't know what you're talking about @Orne
2. FFB sort of tells you something (mainly just load and traction less, not much else.
3. Can't adjust seating position or fov or hide the in-car wheel (not surprised really)
4. Not much to do in the game other than racing against ****ty AI and look at how besides night, working headlights and rain+wet tracks the game doesn't actually look better than AC, not really, it seems it's mostly to do with lighting and color palette.
5. Dirty rally had potato wheel support too when it came out so I have a tiny bit of hope for this title. I mean, AC is so far ahead (except for weather really) that it's not even sensible or fair to compare the two.

 

Apex is just a tech demo anyway.

 

True.

 

For all intensive purposes I thought it was fact until I found the setting buried and hidden in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Aliens. HAHAHA. All apologies. Turn 10 clearly didn't want folks mucking with the settings..I've already deleted it from my system.. Shame really. I thought it was decent when it was controller and keyboard driving only. I was eagerly awaiting wheel support. The sunlight and glare FXs are uncanny, beyond that not much to talk about.

For those who like it, have fun !

 

Any sign of an FoV option yet? I'm fully aware of all the various pros and cons but expect I'm not alone thinking the current internal view is loads too wide.

 

I was pleasantly surprised how Apex felt with a wheel (G27). I was expecting it to feel awful but instead it wasn't too bad; just need to mess with the center spring settings as it feels too strong with the default setting. Felt nice to finally play a Forza game with a wheel though, much easier to drive than fighting it with a pad. Regardless I'll probably still play Horizon 3 with the pad though.

 

Wait what , apex has wheel support? When did this happen ? Have to chive it another go if it's true.

Is there any way to use more than 180° of steering? Well, even if there is, I´ll still pass this one, just gave it a try, but it runs really slow, rattling on flat kerbs, no real steering options.

I recommended this one to my brother who has a more powerful PC and likes driving games in a way more casual way than I do. Might be quite good from that perspective and after all, it´s free to play.

 

yesterday

 

Will have to download it again just to see if it's better with a wheel.

Nooooo, you changed your Avatar...

 

I got a question.

Are the physics better or worse than Forza 3's?

BTW: How big are the grids on the PC, just 24 cars?

While I probably don't even try it, anyway. Forza is kinda like AC with worse physics and more content. The career and presentation (in the races at least) is equally dull and list of missing features in both cases big.

 

There is physics?

 

Really wondering about multiple controllers support in Horizon 3. To sell such a bad simulation you need to add a lot of arcade.

 

Right.

 

Afraid this is not going to happen. From official FAQ

Essentially what we have in Apex, will translate to Horizon 3.

 

hahaha.. someone else was using the old cat from the GPL/NASCAR Racing days.. so I changed. I extracted that image from a car file many moons ago. lol

 

Oddball place for sure. I would have never guessed dynamic rendering was a drop down lolz
