PC Racing Games: Wow

rFactor 2

Amazing. And for some reason a few other incredibly impressive PC racing games are coming soon.

Project Cars (wow, seen this one? very cool)

GTR3

Desire to fire up GT5 ever again ... gone.

And to think that Project CARS will own that visually is pretty awesome. I'll be getting both when they come out and a new wheel setup as well. I've enjoyed rfactor for years and it is pretty great to see what the mod community comes up with.

So whats so impressive about this exactly? It could easily be done with relatively close parity ona console. There doesn't seem to be too much geometry to render here.

[QUOTE="ShadowDeathX"][QUOTE="meetroid8"] except Japanese-developed games. But everything else, yeah the PC wins everything.GhoX

Project Cars best on WiiU.

[QUOTE="GhoX"][QUOTE="ShadowDeathX"] Platinum :cry: , I wish Japanese devs would just port to PC, don't see how it could hurt.Inconsistancy

Actually 40 fps isn't bad.

You're comparing apples and oranges. PC race sims bet everything on realism and require a wheel to be enjoyable and can be forcused on mods while console sims are more arcade-oriented, don't require a wheel and pack a ton of content "out of the box". I think I like oranges better :P

That said, Project Cars looks promising (also due to scalable realism levels).

PC racing is much better than console racing, that's for sure. millerlight89

Even when those games are played on a keyboard? Eww :P

Controller? YUK! Them games will be great with my Logitech G25 driving wheel....Sorry. I know you meant controllers as in different types. But, the mere mention of controller (as in gamepad) for driving games sounds terrible to me.

Arcade racers and some semi-realistic ones are enjoyable on a gamepad.

I haven't played a realistic racing game in 5+ years, might try Project Cars for the hell of it. I've always preferred less serious racers with more interesting tracks like Trackmania, Burnout Paradise and Hydro Thunder.

[QUOTE="Inconsistancy"][QUOTE="GhoX"] Just get a PS3 if you like Japanese games. The library of good games is probably worth the investment.Stalkerfieldsis

PC is the king when it comes to sim racing :D
