The colours of the face-offs give it away. Blue for cornering, orange for drift and yellow for average speed. |

Yeah, that's much better. I tried the Golf one in Scotland for a while - dunno how you manage to hoon it round that first corner without crashing... I can only get within about a second as I spend the whole lap playing catchup! |

Just better at gaming than you, i guess I'm really enjoying this game, it's great for a quick blast and I think the handling is pretty good. A very good mix of arcade and sim, which seems to suit my driving style, as I can get pretty high up some of the leaderboards without a huge amount of effort. I can get nowhere close to the top on a proper sim or full on arcade game! |

You'll need to beat his ghost then knock another second off.  There's definitely a few more tenths left in there for anyone with the patience, though. |

The more I play this the more I'm liking it. I definitely need more practice on it tho, I'm not very good at it. It took me 4 laps to beat Zardoz on that vw Scotland track and I'm still slower than Myp. Badtimes. Out of interest, has anyone tried a wheel with this game yet? Presumably the Logitech ones don't work with the ps4? |

I'm not sure it's really their responsibility to ensure every third-party peripheral can work with their console. It makes no financial sense for Logitech to bother, as they aren't selling any more wheels. Of course it means we consumers are stuffed. |

But they won't pay for the licence to develop a driver that interfaces with the chip, for obvious financial reasons (ie they won't make any money from it). According to Sony the chip is required to stop unlicensed knock-offs working, as per the 360/XBO. |

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014- ... ing-wheels So it seems that Sony simply don't want anyone except Thrustmaster making wheels for them and won't provide the necessary SDK to create drivers. Yes, Logitech aren't making console peripherals but why would they abandon all the tooling etc. for their existing products if they could still sell them? It's all seems pretty shady to me. |

So it looks like Sony and Thrustmaster have a deal, otherwise why would Sony care about unlicensed knockoffs? It's a scummy thing to do but I can understand it from a financial point of view, but as you say, it's the consumers who get stuffed. My main issue is that I'm already having to defend having two steering wheels in the house nevermind having to add another one! |

Clearly I'm the runt of BEEX HARDER, but I'm really enjoying it. I'm glad i"ve got it digital because it really works to dip into for 15mins. It's a great balance between arcade and sim for me. I'm starting to vaguely get breaking. At least I've unlocked the first Cup thingy. Wooo LEVEL 9 GET ME! (Also, turned all the UI off, and actually did better. It also really crazy realistic) |

I'd agree with that when it comes to shooters as there are so many but genuinely decent racing games are generally few and far between. Forza 2, 3 and 4 all had a decent amount of people playing. |
