That, along with brakes that are almost as useful as a toffee apple is during sex, leads to the aforementioned flinging of cars into corners that made the driving we’re all used to feel like rocket science. This could be entirely different for those playing with a wheel and peddles, but with a controller, there is a bit of input delay for turning. Well, I say nothing, aside from maybe the controller. ![]() High-performance supercars, track days, races around some of Europe’s best tracks, and nothing but raw horsepower between you and the track. This isn’t Dark Souls swearing where I’m asked by those in the next room “You can’t, what?” This is vowing violent time-travel based vengeance on whoever designed the track, who made the car, and everyone they have ever loved.Īssetto Corsa Competizione on the surface sounds great. That is both good and bad, as it has taught me a safer way of driving, but also several new ways of swearing. Between games that claim to be hyper-realistic simulators and those that simply are not realistic at all, I’ve never had an experience quite like Competizione. It has now become common for me to refer to Competizione not by name but what I’d do with it, swearing at cars. There is a sense that there is no weight over the wheels. I don’t know why, but it feels like the weight of the cars (all of which feel similar) do not match any other experience of driving or racing. There is just one problem, the feeling is wrong. Sure, I’ve driven versions of them in other games, I’ve seen them be driven by professionals, as well as Hammon, Clarkson, and May. I just don’t have the same level of confidence in driving the cars that I do in other games. I think that is the major difference I’ve found between every other racing game with these same circuits and Competizione. If you lose speed and turn, it doesn’t matter what car, you’ll find your pants brown or your life cut short. If you lose confidence, you’ll lose speed as you lift off going through them. Anyone who knows those parts of Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps knows how important those sections of track are. With Assetto Corsa Competizione, I don’t have that strong feeling that I can hurl a Lamborghini Hurracan through Maggotts, Becketts, and Chapel or around La Source, up Eau Rouge and Raidillon, and down the Kemmel straight. If I know how a car handles well, I should be able to fling it into any corner of the fully-fictional world or a fictional version of a real-world corner. ![]()
