Wow .... did this thread ever get derailed.

My impressions of this game are ......... it's absolutely fantastic (PS4)
Seriously though it's easily one of the best console games I have ever played.

It probably would be better to discuss/organize the league in a seperate thread, I do agree with that. Probably will once it actually gets started, this is all just preliminary stuff.

Fastest run I had was 1:26:536, slowest was 1:27:060. With the Ginetta's I was about a second slower with my fastest and slowest time.

First impression last night was a very fun game. However, I also felt like taking turns at 40mph was like turning a boat and I felt a little underwhelmed as far as feeling like I was driving a real car. It was a blast though even though I couldn't keep the cars or go karts under control.

Woke up this morning and started getting the hang of handling and courses and suddenly began to really feel the SIM nature of it. Just went and bought $89 thrustmaster and ran two races and I think this game has went from very fun to absolutely awesome.

Don't get me wrong , the game is just fine with controller and with more practice there's no doubt a controller would suffice for me. But, even with the cheaper wheel and pedals it's a whole new game I feel like.

Definitely would like to jump in some online races with OSers if there's a group playing when I get a chance to log on usually on weekends.

Finally popped this back in after being sucked in by the Witcher 3 this week. Qualified 2nd at Sakitto International only to wreck on the 3rd lap and finish in 11th. Argh, this game hates me.

The cool thing about that track, though, was watching a lot of the CPU drivers screw up a particular turn every lap. Nice to see that they're not perfect, even though I can't win a race lol.

My career GT5 race, had pole with 1:08 lap at silverstone, ran 1st barely halfway through race, then the rain came, ended up finishing 9th after having trouble on some turns. AI at 90%.

I play with a controller and I've tweaked a lot of the deadzone settings to make the turning and such feel like I'm using a steering wheel.

A quick clip showing a lucky wreck avoidance. AI does not like Sonoma's last turn.

Cool, ya I didn't mess with any settings in short time I had game (1 day). Just default I thought was pretty darn good once I played more and got hang of things.

The patch on the XB1 made the controller significantly better. Much more fun to play now since you don't have to constantly worry about the car spinning out.

Same sort of thing happens at Monza's chicane, and all too frequently. Worse, in practice the cars don't get taken off the track if they wreck - they sit there spinning their wheels and block traffic. You can imagine how that ends up with a large number of Ai opponents.

There aren't many things in this game I feel need to be patched, but this is one of them.

Ran it today and started hitting 126.2 - 126.7 pretty consistently. If you need some help Mike, hit me up in a party and Ill try my best.

Stock settings or are you tuning the car? Nice time.

I am new to the party with this game on xbone. I am experiencing some really bad frame rates on this console making it nearly unplayable. I will enter some turns the frames will lock up or skip and I will appear 10-20 feet away from where I was previously. This makes it difficult to do well. Any settings I can change on the one to help until a patch is dropped?


*P.S.- Someone at project cars site recommended changing xbox settings to power save mode instead of instant on. I have had no drops since change(all dubai tracks are only confirmed tracks so far)
