F1 2015 is supposed to be released in March as CodeMasters wants the game to come out before the season and for the PS4, XB1 and PC only so that's good news for all F1 fans. I don't know how well you like racing games, but Project Cars is supposed to be another great racing game. Too bad it got delayed until March as well.

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, I'd prefer to have it released before the start of the season, like most other sports games.
I very rarely buy any other racing games. While I do enjoy them, they generally don't keep me interested long enough to be worth a purchase. I can play several seasons in an F1 game though. I just prefer that type of racing, I guess.

I've been eyeing one of the first F1 games for a while now. I rented it a few years back and it blew me away with how realistic it was (I don't even follow F1.) Noticed it was $9.99 in the bargain bin the other week.

It looks like Tampa Bay is giving up in the baseball world. Them basically giving away Hannigan and Myers has made me believe they are purposely self destructing. I don't blame the St. Pete city council for shooting down the plans for a new stadium as the front office has given away a good chunk of our talent and team isn't showing any sort of promise. I've decided not to attend opening day/opening week games and the Rays front office shouldn't complain about attendance this year if they're not going to give us anyone worth paying to see.

Yes, I'm mad.

Not sure if you guys are going to be able to help but here goes:

Is this game worth the buy for PS3 or am I just as well to keep with last year's game? Doesn't have to be a huge improvement for me to qualify it as worth it so I'm really asking if they just phoned it in and concentrated on current gen or if they gave last gen a proper chance.

When I made the jump to current gen, MLB: The Show was the only pro I had for the PS4 so I made the switch to Microsoft but I kind of always knew I would regret my choice around this time of year.[face_cry]

I don't know if I can answer that question for you. I didn't buy last year's game, but I got this year's game on day one for the PS4. All I can pretty much tell you is that I'm having a blast with it and the servers for last year's game will be closing down if they haven't already done so (if you haven't heard).

Thanks, I hadn't heard that the servers were closing (although it makes sense now that I think about it) so this settles it.

I knew I would regret the Xbox One around this time of year but I didn't think I would regret it this much [face_cry]. (I think I'll have to look into it for next year)

I really wish they would port to PC.

Hey guys,

I haven't played a Baseball game in a very long time, and I am having trouble figuring out if The Show 15 is going to fill the need I am aiming for. I want to be able to play a Franchise-esque mode but with 2 or more people controlling separate teams in a local only setting. My wife and I want to play together more than just exhibitions. Is this possible? Thanks!

You can control as many teams as you wish.

Thoughts about Project Cars? I'm picking it up on Thursday.
Click to expand...
Day one buy for me as well. I already have it pre-ordered and paid for, but I'll have to wait until the 12th with the North American release. I have been waiting a loooong time for this. The track list tops every other racing game with both real tracks and number of tracks and the car list is pretty decent and they've already released info on nearly twice as many more cars to come in the near future as DLC including a 2015 Indy car and 2012 NASCAR. 60 FPS and 1080p on the PS4 while the X1 will only have 900p. The weather effects look amazing and weather options range from fog, mist, light rain, heavy rain, night and many more. You can turn on/off your lights and windshield wipers and even the console versions are supposed to have PC like options and settings. I'm expecting perfection as this game has been delayed now for four or five different times, because the developers said so themselves they wanted to make the game perfect.

Alright, cool. I remember hearing about it a while back, but then I kinda just forgot about it I guess. I didn't realise it had been delayed that many times, so yeah, it better not be in need of any major patches (I know there's a day-one patch, but that's fine by me).

The career mode looks very interesting. To go from Karting to F1 sounds awesome. F1 obviously isn't licensed, but it doesn't really bother me that much. That journey more than makes up for it.
And then we have all the other types of racing, of course. I'm not very familiar with them, but I'm very much looking forward to exploring them all.

I must say, I'm very excited about this game! [face_tongue]

One word: Brilliant.
I found it very difficult to control the cars at first, but now that I'm getting better at it I'm enjoying it a whole lot. There are so many settings to work with, but I feel pretty comfortable right now. I'm playing with a controller, though I wish I had a wheel..
But you definitely need to be patient and learn from your mistakes. I've seen a few comments about the handling being too difficult - I don't agree, I'm glad it's difficult. That's what makes it fun to complete a great lap, let alone a full race. You can't just boot up the game for the first time and expect to drive flawlessly.

The AI is amazing. I love its behaviour on the track. I currently have it at 90%, but that might go up and down depending on what car I'm driving.

So yeah, I'd certainly recommend it. [face_tongue]

That's great to hear especially about it being difficult to drive. They said they wanted to give us an actual racing sim and not some arcade game like Need For Speed. I've been playing iRacing off and on since 2008 which is the best racing sim out there so I think I know a little on what to expect when trying a car out for the first time. People complain that it's too difficult, but I think that makes it better knowing you have to put in the effort of practicing and if you stick with it then it is that much more rewarding. I'm really excited for this.

The AI is crazy. My first Formula B race was at Spa. I crossed the line side by side for the lead to start the final lap. The AI had the preferred inside line going into turn one so he retook the lead. I passed him back on the straight and he wrecked me. I like how they will fight for position, but they need to be smarter and cleaner.

Had a great race in the GT 5 series at Oulton Park last night. Started in 16/20 and had a great start and was in seventh by the second lap. The sun started rising and was completely blinding all views going into both chicanes, but it didn't really bother me much. I won the race with just fumes left in the tank.

Other than the AI, my only other gripes are not much visual aids like in F1 2014/2013 has the white arrows letting you know there's a car around you so being extra careful there can cause you to lose focus and my wheel doesn't have enough buttons on it for all of the options. Like I will have to give something up so I can assign the windshield wipers a button or hope it doesn't rain.

That race sounds great indeed. :)

I completely agree about the AI. It's flat-out dirty at times. Hopefully that's something they can tune.
I know what you're talking about with the arrows, that's something I liked in the F1-games too.

And that's unfortunate about the wheel, which one do you have?

Hahaha I've been pretty good. Getting my associates next semester for accounting and have been working in accounts payable for almost 2 years now with a company that sells Matlaws seafood. I use to do all the filing and moved boxes and stuff for them before I got the promotion for an actual position. Other than that I've just been trying to save up some money with my girl to move out and get an apartment.

How have you guys been though? We use to have sooo many good times in the CT lol
