I recently wiped my progress to see how quickly I could fill the garage back up. These were my stats when I completed the collection of fully upgraded rally cars (just 5 RX and 2 Hillclimb cars missing). Slighty increased rally rewards, no repair costs and cheap perks have made this a lot easier. According to the profile stats, it took almost exactly 24 hours of driving.
Whaaat. That's lame. Dirt 1 let you do that. Hell you could even drive one of those weird trucks if you wanted to, if memory serves.
Yeah, looking good for the console versions, can't wait to see how it plays.
I agree on the co-driver (though you have options now, if you want it earlier). But I still don't think the sense of speed has changed.
You also have a lot of videos where you just do some laps in a game, even if it was out for a while and didn't have new DLC. But it's true in terms of previews I always felt the coverage was distributed fairly.
They fixed the snap-oversteer in the december patch. You still lock the brakes way too easily, but the rest is fine in my opinion. Maybe you'll give Forza Motorsport: Apex another shot.
Before you buy the G29, I recommend reading up on gear-driven vs. belt-driven wheels. If you liked that other mocie about rallying, I also recommend this famous Peugeot-made short film from 1988 (the track and car are also in the game): http://youtu.be/-PZ5J3GLSYI
The Logitech wheels are gear-driven, they have a bigger center deadzone that changes the forces-filter curves over the full rotational freedom and belt-driven wheels are a lot smoother. Only thing better are hydraulics, but that's thosandS of dollars. All Thrustmaster FFB wheels are belt driven, but only the TX, 300 and 500 have a good bit resolution. I'd recommend a T300 if you have the money, I'd recommend it even over the more expensive bigger T500. Fanatech wheels are even better, but I'm not sure they are better to the degree that justifies the higher price. For people who have the money of course they're great.
On paper it's a better build quality and feel, higher bitrate, degrees of rotation... But from ehat I've heard the T150 is in the same ballpark as the G29 which is basically a G27 with a new paint that works with this-gen consoles. I played with a G27 it was much nicer than the first FFB wheel I tried 10 years earlier, but trying a Thrustmaster TX for the first time with the right game kinda blew my mind. The change in forces is so much smoother, the forces you fight in a corner or let go off to stay/go straight have a nmore natural, rubber-stretchy feel to them.
I get that all the time from Best Buy now whenever I try to preorder something about half a week before it's out. I didn't used to get that so something must have changed.
