Seeking a racing or driving simulation game.
Seeking a racing or driving simulation game.
S2 stands out as the sole NFS title that strays from their classic arcade style, likely aimed at casual play rather than the more realistic simulations they developed.
He mentions he's searching for a racing or driving simulator. I believe S2 is an excellent choice for many players who enjoy racing games. NFS has attempted similar titles before, such as ProStreet and the original Shift, but S2 stands out to me in comparison. Even if you're not into the simulation aspect, you can switch to arcade mode for a more casual experience while still customizing cars. No other game I'm aware of lets you purchase and modify vehicles without any financial consequences if you're unsatisfied. For me, that makes it worth trying the game on its own.
Sure, I understand your point. NFS isn't exactly a racing sim, but Grand Turismo could be considered one. You're asking for recommendations—Dirt series, Grid, and Assetto Corsa are solid choices. Or you could try emulating GT. Let me know if you need more details!
Thanks for the suggestions—guys will definitely look into these.
Good wheels mean Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, iRacing, or RaceRoomRacingExperience (free to play).
Using only a gamepad works with Grid Autosport, Dirt 3, and Grid 1.
Shift 2 isn't worth it since the controls are poor.
Non-racing titles include Euro Truck Simulator 2, Spintires, and Mafia 2.
Assetto Corsa offers a more authentic driving experience compared to Project CARS, making it the better choice. Changing the gearshift to 2 switches things over to Project CARS, though performance remains average.
For an enjoyable driving experience, consider using spin tires. While it may surprise you, it’s surprisingly calming during extended trips and offers genuine challenge.
Let me know your preferences for the simulation experience.
1. How detailed should the realism be? Very realistic or just a touch?
2. Do you prefer online or offline racing, or both?
3. Do you own a steering wheel? If yes, which brand?
4. If yes, what model would you choose?
5. If not, would you buy one and what budget would you set?
6. What laptop are you using (or should I suggest something lighter)?
7. And how much are you willing to spend? (Considering your 'broke teenager' vibe)
