Game Stock Car
« on: December 23, 2012, 10:30:12 PM »

I've been reading rally good things about this game for quite a while now, just never got around to trying it out.  I think the name of the game turned me off for some reason, which is stupid I know.  Plus the fact that there are only 6 cars available and 3 of them are Formula cars didn't help either.

Well, I got bored last night I decided to give it a try and boy am I glad I did.  This game is absolutely fantastic!

System Requirements

Minimum Configuration
 1.4 Ghz Processor / Windows XP or superior / 1GB RAM / Directx 9.0c compatible video card with 128MB Video RAM / 4 GB free hard disk space

Recommended Configuration
 2.6 Ghz Processor / Windows XP or superior / 1GB RAM / Directx 9.0c compatible video card with 1GB Video RAM / 4 GB free hard disk space

Supports up to 32 players online

Pros:

1. FFB -  It's the best FFB I've ever felt.  Feels great with my Fanatec CSR and I've read that it feels great with G Series wheels as well.

2. Physics - I think with only 6 cars, they were able to spend some time getting them really, really good for each car.  Each car feels unique and and behave how I think they should behave. Not too too slippery, not too grippy.  I feel really connected to both the car and the road.  Quite possibly the best physics/FFB combo I've ever played.

3. As you can see, the track list is pretty good.  Some of the mod tracks are better than others.  Some are nice and bumpy while others not so much.

4. Highly customizable...  For example, I didn't like the default bumper camera view for any of the cars.  It was way too low.  I found the camera files for each car, found the line that calls out camera position and changed it.  That simple.

5. Doesn't need a top of the line PC to run it.

6. Car Tuning - It's all there.  You can tune pretty much everything you can think of.

7. The AI seems pretty good so far.  Though with almost every other game I've played, I'm sure the mroe I play it the AI's flaws will start to show.  Can't complain so far though.  Did a 10 lapper at Interlagos last night and didn't get wiped out and they were fast and fun.  You can also customize their speed & aggression with sliders.

8.  It's a PC sim so there's shitloads of options to play around with.

9. It's only $20!

Cons:

1. Only 6 cars, 3 of them Formula.

2. The graphics are just ok.  They're not terrible though.  The game uses an updated rFactor engine so it's pretty outdated by todays standards.  My biggest gripe is the other cars around you don't look connected to the road.  It almost looks like they're just kind of floating on the road surface.  It's not a dealbreaker or anything just kind of annoying to look at.



I could probably think of more pros & cons but that's all I got for now.  I'm sure I'll post more stuff soon.  If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer as best I can.

The web site indicates 32 cars, so does the demo only have 6?

No.

The Stock Cars are 2 different cars, the Chevrolet Sonic and the Peugeot 408.  I'd guess each car has about a dozen or so teams/liveries.  Which I guess they think means they have that many different cars, even though there's really only 2.

So I guess technically this game has 7 different cars.  I should have noted that in my OP.

Yes, that has been discussed as well. Have to wait on that one. Unless I can re format the SATA one I put in my fatty PS3. I think it was 350GB or something?

I noticed, later, that their web site also shows only 7 cars.
The wording suggested more. My bad.

It looks interesting, but I'd rather put my effort into something on a console.
