    A gamepad would be the bare minimum of what you'd want there alright. It makes it a heck of a lot easier to handle the driving.

    Regarding the input lag, I tried the config file trick and found it was already applied. I managed to fix, or at least greatly reduce, the lag by lowering my res to 1080p.

    Even though the game was running perfectly at 30fps on the higher res, lowering it to 1080p fixed the input lag. I can't really explain it. I've also seen turning off high res textures as a possible fix, but I didn't have to do that,

    So, got this last night. The cops AI is slightly better, but I had to nudge them a few times, and go back to them when I lost them, but after a while, it was fun. Got caught whilst switching to a new car :/

    Awesome havent found the Atom yet but really liking the little audi sportclub, really maneurable great acceleration and just plain fun even if its top speed isnt up there, makes police chases a good laugh.
    That and the old porsche 911 which i ended up in the mountains with on a chase, was the first time the game"clicked" as i was driftng corners with cops right on my tail and avoiding cars and obstacles like nobodies business, deffinitely my favorite moment so far

    =-=

    Does anyone know where I can find the Playstation control default mappings?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,305 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Got the default mappings, and finding the cops AI good. A LOT better than the last Need for Speed game that I played. Another video, this time with some commentary;

    Anyone using a steering wheel to play this? Thinking of getting one as I want the full feeling of proper driving and this game looks like it could be fun as **** with a steering wheel.

    Just got the Merc SL 65 and its a blast, the gallardo isnt too bad either, no sign of getting bored of this yet.

    Got this game a few weeks ago 2nd hand and am loving it. It is like Burnout with licenced cars.

    Just one question, when I play multiplayer, being a 2nd hand game the code has already been used and does not register. I have very limited cars online (Focus, Jaguar, Landeover) and wonder if this is related to not having a on-line code. Do you have to earn achievements on-line to get better cars or buy the code for on-line play (€9.99)?

    Not sure about the online code thing but you do need to level up to get access to better cars in multiplayer, this can be done in singleplayer or multiplayer though

    It's even more fun when the cops take out all your tires.


  • Registered Users Posts: 798 ✭✭✭Plascebo


    Not sure if this has been posted before, but it is £15 (and eligible for free delivery) from Amazon, bargain!!

    Hooked up my G25 wheel and pedals , my son is having a blast with it,although no option for manual gears is retarded then again it is an arcade racer.
    Im more into simulators myself.

    Does anyone notice that the car they drive changes colour when driving it. I noticed it driving the 911 Carrera S.
