I expected GRID to be a simulation based stock racer game. In practice, the cars can drift on their own and handbraking isn't quite subtle. Not quite arcade. I do like how you can run a practice lap before racings to influence your lap position. I do wish the transition between the cinematic and the actual driving was more seamless.
Like when a car slides in ice when you break too fast? No traction to actually stop the car?
GRID is more arcadey and fun. Lots of drifting through corners. If you're talking about the reboot, I played that one on the hardest difficulty setting with 5x race length while also respecting the AI opponents and not making dirty moves. Lots of fun to be had. If you want to practice things like slowing down for corners, you might want to enable the racing line assist which displays colored markers, indicating the racing line and also the speed. If the markers are yellow or red, they indicate that you're going too fast and should be slowing down.
Yeah, except the same thing can happen on regular road surfaces if you go really fast and brake really hard without any assists. Or if you have really shitty tires on.
Correct. The reboot. I like the straightforward approach with progression. Here's a chart of events with races. Complete them to progress. Boom. I also like not having to worry about upgrading my car to compete. Is it me or does tapping on the accelerator while racing give you slightly more speed?
If you're driving on keyboard on a non-4WD car with a ridiculously huge power output without any traction control, maybe
Adding on to @XL xQgg?QcQCaTYDMjqoDnYpG's explanation, brake locking is when the brakes stop the wheel rotating too quickly. The momentum of the car - which would have been bled off under gentler braking - is forcing the car forward on the now-stopped wheel.
What you could do is get the xbox game pass for a month. It has a lot of racing games on it and you can pick and choose. My favorites are wreckfest and forza horizon 4&5 (although career in it feels like it has no progression at all). Unfortunately we are in a bit of drought of good racing games.
What are your PC specs/version of PCSX2 your are using, if you don't mind me asking?
If you've got a 3060 or above you should be fine, even the 20 series is pretty good. The lowest you can get with really smooth framerates with emulation is a 1060. 1050TIs are a bit hit or miss if you're still operating there.
Nascar games between 98-10 were the games I remembered playing a whole lot
There's your issue. The latest stable release is relatively old and missing some critical features. When you start PCSX2 does it look something like this?
Yes exactly, will try that out later, thanks a bunch
