Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

I'm almost more familiar with that property than my own backyard ... :) I'm sure you've played the Brickyard golf course a time or two in your career. How does the golf course play and how much of a hassle is it to get on and off the track infield portion of the course? I'm not a golfer, John. Neve...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Digital Foundry just posted a comparison video of the Next-Gen enhanced versions of Assetto Corsa Competitzione to each other and to OG PS4 and XBox One, and XBox One X. It looks like the PS5 got a little extra benefit on both the graphics and the performance. It's an interesting piece if you'd like...

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

I am back in town, that connection I had in my hotel room was brutal with the high latency, probably just hit 3 fairways in total and don’t know how I scrambled to shoot a 72, because like John’s experience I definitely felt like I had to fight like nails on every single hole. So John if you can se...

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

I can't putt on the XBX, part of it is being too lazy to bring in and pair my Elite controller but I was putting for birdie on a par 5 and took an 8. I don't have the same issues with the PC version but again using the Elite controller there. I definitely putt better with my Elite 2 controller on m...

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

Played my Masters difficulty round late this morning and it went about like I expected. I shot a 73 on the par 71 course, which was one stroke higher than Db and 10spro's 72s. I saw Danimal at 77 after I finished my round. I somehow managed to hit 71% FIRs, but all but one of my fairway misses were ...

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

Is anyone just finding this game a bit long in the tooth now? I still squeeze in a few rounds a week but it's been out for what 2 years now and there are still things not fixed or working and is there a new version planned? I'm eager to see the EA offering just for something fresh. 2K21 came out in...

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

It really was a groove. I can’t really explain it. It’s happened a few times over the course of our society. Just had a good run going and couldn’t stop! I know what you mean... there was a couple of days last month in which I found a rhythm with my swing that was reproduceable, full swing after fu...

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

Talk about killing me softly with insults JC. Master difficulty? For a guy that’s been hitting the fairway only about 30% of the time? Bring it on :twisted: if you can see what’s wrong in my animation swing and try to correct my tempo, that would be awesome. I have a feeling I'm going to be hoisted...

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

A little something off the beat-un path for Wednesday's 18 hole tournament (which actually starts at 7:00 PM EST tonight). I changed the swing difficulty to "Master" for this tournament at Friars Head, just out of a morbid curiosity I have about how it would affect the scoring and our perception of ...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Paul and Adam, thanks so much for the detailed info. You just saved me lots of download time. I may check out GRID Legends at some point, but given the fact that I have Assetto Corsa Competizione with all DLC for both PC and Xbox and have yet to dive into either of them in detail, I will probably j...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Anyone else enjoy driving the GT4s more than the 3s? It's hard to describe, but it's like I can feel the mass of the GT4s more than the GT3s. The handling seems to be slightly more responsive as well. I wish there was a way to build a season using the GT4s. Maybe there is and I haven't figured it ou...

I've now got 5 races under my belt with the Assetto Corsa Competizione XBox Series X Enhanced version and I'm stoked beyond measure with it! The rock steady 60 FPS (at least under the field sizes (20) and conditions I've run so far makes a bigger difference in my enjoyment of the game than I'd imagi...

Re: PGA TOUR 2K21

I have a new level of respect for this game after this past week. I had started to feel like the game was getting too easy and too predictable. Then I played our DSP Society tournament at Riviera, in conjunction with the PGA TOUR event there last week. I shot a 66 in round 1 that should have been a ...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Yep. Too bad none came to console. Also unfortunate that the original AC ranks right up with the original Project Cars as the most egregious example of a PC racing game developer porting straight to console with no care or concern for the unique characteristics of console play. Kunos (Assetto) and ...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

It looks great in pancake mode on a monitor, but after using VR it is hard to go back to playing on a flat monitor. VR just gives you a better sense of the road. My monitor isn t quite 4k; I have a Dell 34" ultrawide, which is 3440x1440. You should give the original Assetto Corsa another try. While...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Too bad ACC is pretty terrible looking on the PC in VR compared to other titles, I haven't seen this game in VR, but come to think of it, I haven't seen any racing game in VR. My only link to VR is via my grandson's Occulus Quest 2. While it's reasonably nice for a $300 piece of hardware, I can't s...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Couldn't agree more with John. Assetto Corsa Competizione is the finest racing game ever on a console, from a pure driving and racing perspective. It's unmatched. It never will leave my hard drive as long as I own an Xbox. I'm tighter than two coats of paint, yet I have happily bought every bit of ...

Oh and whatever you guys want on the number of rounds. Im a 2 rounds at a time guy. So either one night or two for me I might need to try your approach to playing 2 rounds at a time.
