Hi guys, just purchased a 2nd hand copy of FC late yesterday afternoon (Australian Time) after lurking in here for the last month or so and also digging my way through the 10 Reasons thread in the Prologue forum....... I've been on Prologue for a year solid (roughly a Division 2 Silver/Gold pace i estimate in terms of overall speed.) and it's just becoming a little stale.
Impressions, they'll be short at the moment as i really only had an hour to put in and am writing this at 5.30am the following morning before i go to work..... so back to the initial impressions:
WOW.
Very Deep in terms of Physics, a lot of movement under brakes and the let go when you push into understeer is excellent.... the car behaves totally different to GT5 which is actually a good thing as to me personally it shows how sterile the handling characteristics are of the cars in GT5. I know we are talking about mainly road cars vs race cars, but it's still blatently obvoius to see and feel.
It's certainly a title that requires much more patience and time to adapt, rather than the jump in and go fast aspect that i found with GT5.
In the hour last night i really only spent time at Monza Time Trialling in the F430 chasing the 1'51.000 record........ after running with ABS, TC and SC at 1 (it's embarrassing to admit that ) i'm at a 1'52.9xx.... so thats ok progress so far i feel.
I'm yet to settle on a FF and sevsitivity setting with my wheel (DFGT) that i'm happy with (currently medium pedal and steering, and low FF.... i have a fine touch what can i say!!) but i'm satisfied at the moment.
Anyway, enough blabbering.... i hope to make good progress in the coming weeks and see you guys online soon!
Steve
