@ShogunRok Simulation games have only in recent years gotten to the point that they are almost like real life. they laser scan tracks and cars today something never done in the past. to use a controller that has the same basic function as a controller did 15 to 20 years ago and use that to review a sim that uses 2014 technology is just wrong. that's why we have 3rd party developers constantly improving wheel technology and accuracy which includes force feedback and latency all of which is insanely above what we had even 7-8 years ago.. that's what has allowed sim's like assetto to evolve because of the great tech today in sim wheels to experience realism never possible before.. yet here we review a game with a primitive dual shock controller that uses the same basic design from 1994 which never had the intent to be used for a sim racer like assetto and you want to defend that?? Sims have outgrown controllers people. you cant have both in the equation and call it a sim experience. This isn't a hard concept to digest.
@ShogunRok except he does need a wheel to make an accurate review.. the game was designed to be played with a wheel where are you confused here? sure use a controller which isn't how it's meant to be played and have an awful experience doing so which is what you should expect if you choose to be cheap and play a sim with a 60 dollar controller. if you are intending to play this game with a controller then this game isn't for you it's that simple. so why review it with a controller when that's not the crowd it is catering too? It's like reviewing a flight simulator on PC without a joystick.. you wouldn't do it though i'm sure an xbox controller could be used.
@Jake3103 "we're going in circles." well, isn't that what racing is all about? Look I'm sure you are capable of making good honest reviews I just feel this was one you shouldn't have done. It's not fair to the developers who busted their tail to make an extremely realistic racing game and to sim racers who plan to play this with a wheel and see your 5 out of 10 and assume it's junk when for them it could have been amazing. Your job is to review a game on how it's meant to be played and you absolutely failed on that. It's not need for speed or forza or even dirt rally which gets away with using a controller because dirt is much more forgiving to drive on and doesn't penalize you if you get the car out of shape a bit vs asphalt which you have to be absolutely on point to correct the car if it steps out on you at 125mph or you will over correct putting you in the wall head on in a split second something that flat out can't accurately be done with a controller. for 350 bucks you could get a tx 458 thrustmaster which I use and it's a fantastic wheel that will allow you to accurately review games like this going forward and avoid all this crap you are getting. Thanks for the replies.
@Jake3103 point is most hardcore racers use wheels, you stating most people play with a controller on consoles is true, for arcade or simcades.. Sims are not designed with controllers im mind and personally if you werent willing to dial in a nice wheel with this game which is how it's meant to be played then you shouldnt have done this review. Majority of people will want to play this with a wheel and you offered nothing for those individuals by reviewing it w a controller.
@Jake3103 you expected a sim yet played with a controller?? Ahahahaha. I would never, ever, play iracing w a controller as im sure it would be impossible.. Same with this game. It's a sim sims require a wheel yet you reviewed it w a controller. Youre not fooling anybody here. Youre no sim junky.
@Jake3103 the highest rated pc sim of all time and one that i play nearly everyday in iracing has no assists or lines.. True hardcore racers dont expect stuff like that. This game isnt meant to be a simcade like forza or gran turismo or project cars. I have this game on pc and assetto corsas racing physics which is what sim racing is all about blows away forza project cars ect. A 5 out of 10 just means this guy reviewing it isnt a true sim racer. He expected simcade like forza.
