Maybe I'm getting mixed up then. Either way, I'm happy enough time trialling until more news appears. Won't start my career until patch appears.

I'm sure I read somewhere that there will be no patches for this game.

If you like time trialling, no.

I've not done races yet. Does that happen in every race?

The least important? There's a pretty big difference in image quality for virtually no performance hit, so this is why I always favour this over the total bollocks that is AA.

The rear end will have loads of grip so it won't slide across the track as much when the car turns. The front end will be working against this and feel like you've not got enough steering.

This one? http://www.madcatz.com/productinfo.asp?page=248&GSProd=4961&GSCat=98&CategoryImg=Xbox_360_Wheels

Is that one FFB? My official wheel is feeling a bit wobbly.

Hardly surprising when they can't get the AI to travel round certain corners at a decent speed.

Where the fuck is Hampshire and why do I not live there?

I got that wheel today and it works fine in Supercar Challenge.

Not necessarily. EA might order them to make it handle like a NFS game.

The engine sound is another minor gripe. It sounds awful at the end of a straight or if you leave it in a lower gear too long.

I'm fed up with being stung on shit handling in NFS games, so I'll give the demo a VERY thorough going over.

That thing was more like a yoke!

I play loads of games with TC on if they're not quite right in the handling department. It can turn some pretty average "sim" racers into decent arcadey games.

Are you on pad or wheel? I'm on the wheel and I can floor the brake pedal until I'm just about to turn in, then blend it out to avoid locking up. As for TC, I've not felt any need for it with the wheel. I seem to be able to feel the car go and at least save a 360 spin, if not a big wobble coming out of a corner. So, After I got the hang of the basic driving I decided to ditch Bahrain and go to a proper track - Suzuka. Now, like most enthusiast racing gamers, I'm sure you can bang on most games and complete a track that you've played in another game without too many incidents. This is a totally different beast for me. It's like starting from scratch even though I know the layout of Suzuka perfectly well. I'm starting to fucking love this game.

F1 2010 has forced a rethink on this. I know it won't get played for a while if I get it at launch

Remote with built in motion plus on the way?? http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-24-wii-remote-plus-spotted

For me it depends on the cameras available. I always use bonnet cam if available. If not, I will use nose cam. If that doesn't suit I will use bumper cam. Failing that, chace cam. P.S WTF is "swingman?"

Tearing - not at all bothered AA - Jesus Christ, the most overrated feature ever. Why spend £400 on a GFX card and reduce the performance by half when you turn on AA? AF - Maxxed out religiously. Amen to AF! FPS - Must be either 30 or 60. Not bothered which as long as it's constant

Phew! Glad I cancelled my PC version order!

What's all this "out of the screen" bollocks? I'm expecting something similar to a 3D movie which doesn't have things flying out of the screen. Has Nintendo found something new?
