El-Diablo Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 virtual drives are off, i had to run it in win XP Sp2 compatibility mode, it worked once i did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unimatrix Xero Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 have you got Vista SP1 installed as the readme does say you need it.. also its not a simulation ....its not a arcade its something inbetween, people said toca3 handling was crap but i loved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 In between? It's worse than Arcade, the way the cars handle, the way the camera pivots around when you spin around - This feels wrong and out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hiroshi- Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Just tried it, the racing mechanics are really bad, the controls are "Okay", they just seem a bit awkward, and delayed. Specs. Windows XP SP3 2GB Ram 320GB HDD Nvidia Geforce 7600 @ 512MB Ran fine speed wise on medium, seemed a bit awkward all around, from the camera, to the racing mechanics. Not that great of a racer, but then again, I'm not a racing game fan, and didn't even like the latest Need For Speed game, but loved Most Wanted and Carbon.

Xerxes Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I was quite excited about this game, till I played it that is. The handling of the cars is horrid! it's like they are on ice or something...shame really, I would of bought this game the day it came out but gonna skip it now [cause of the handling]. I'm more pumped about Mirror's Edge now, hopefully that one delivers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_onion Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 don't you pretty much NEED a 360 controller for this. without analog accelerate you can't really play the game because you can only have your foot as hard on the pedal or not at all. is that why people are complaining about handling? because it works great for me with the 360 controller as long as you don't go crazy on the accelerate.

NienorGT Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Give me a break... I could setup my Saitek P2600 controller in options but in-game it don't work. And if I do map the Pause function on the controller, the only thing I can do in-race is CTRL+ALT+DELETE. What's the joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_onion Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 It sucks on both consoles and PC. lol i guess i just don't care about realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66Ghz or Athlon X2 3800+ The 2.66 GHz C2D is a lot faster than the 2.4 GHz X2 3800+. They're not a close match at all :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_onion Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 yeah i wouldn't take these too seriously. they also recommend sp1 for vista but make no recommendation for xp. are they saying that xp is fine with no service pack because i don't think that would be a good idea.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted May 10, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 10, 2008 The 2.66 GHz C2D is a lot faster than the 2.4 GHz X2 3800+. They're not a close match at all :s The GeForce 8800 is also alot faster than the Radeon X1950. I don't know why they always do this with recommended specs.

El-Diablo Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I have SP1 for Vista and it doesn't wanna run unless i use that XP Sp2 compatibility mode. The game is beautiful looking, but i didn't try to get my PS2 controller working on it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_onion Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 this game is really strange, it seems you either love it or hate it. and the main thing people cite is handling. well for some people it seems to be fine. maybe these are the people that don't care about realism. or for it to actually drive like a car at all!!!
