It's definitely needed in most games to adjust the controls to your preference as soon as possible with some adjustments little later on after trying it more. And later on still if figured out you could have made it feel better.
Just got wrc8 now on std ps4, g29 here, just tried a little with a pad for now..
The optimisation is worse than in 7, and tv replay looks dreadfull in the 1st stage i tried.
But i do have a good 1st impression of the newer physics and feel on dirt already, on tarmac i need try it more and with a wheel to see.
Sound is a little better than 7, except in replay again, still abysmal, but it's better in dash and cockpit.
Edit: i moved the install to internal hdd and seems a little smoother.
Also i got the deluxe version which says only includes the 1st of the 2 dlcs but i got both classic cars dlcs it seems. Glad cause im not sure if they would be worth it for more extra cost. Need try it more.
Edit2: tried my g29, have to say im pretty disappointed for now, i was hopefull after finding wrc7 great on dirt in hood view with my wheel but vague on tarmac, finding the ffb great on dirt after just quick adjustments.
But in 8, for now it's pretty crappy in comparison on both dirt and tarmac, trying the fulvia, i dont know, pretty down on buying it now. Tried some youtube ffb settings from well knowned guys and its pretty undelwhelming.
Plus the optimisation is really worse than in 7 on std ps4, i wish guys mentionned this more, 7 is just enough to be still pleasant but 8 up to now is just not smooth enough.
I was liking my 1st impression on dirt with a pad with a wrc car...
Lol the tv cam doesn't even follow your car, if you slowed down it goes way ahead with your car nowhere in sight.
The view moves so abruptly when going over bumps etc it's like instant motion of the full screen making it feel so digital and no suspension, in hood, dash view same.
I dont know guys, must be good stuff you're on to find this good. My god plus the stages look like crap compared to 7. Jeez....
Edit: did settle all and it's good now.
Only real problem i still find is how your car and view moves so abruptly, either the whole screen in 1st person views or the car itself in 3rd person. In replays it moves smoothly like normal. I hope they fix this in their next games.
Well also it be nice to not cut the crash so fast when you go out of the road, and being reset automatically so fast just when you're about to be back on the road.
