I was also reminded of F355 on Dreamcast when I reached a turn in a crest a bit too quickly and suddenly twisted in an uncomfortable way which had to be corrected. I forget which track in F355 this always happened when you were pushing the car, but it was pretty much the only track I ever drove in that game, partly due to that corner. Actually, I don't have a driver license nor do I play a lot of racing games, so maybe this is perfectly normal and happens all the time in similar situations.
I thought it would be more difficult for sure. Since I wanted to see what a sim racer was all about I turned every assist off, switched to cockpit view and drove 6-7 laps and screwed up enough that I felt a rewind was in order... twice. I even got into the 7% best times with the California. Far from the top times of course, but still. The rewind is crazy too, it's like it has a will of its own. Do you press it once and it rewinds a set amount of time? Should you hold it and release it? Or should you press something to cancel out of the rewinding? I only used it twice but it didn't feel the least intuitive and I kept mashing buttons when I wanted to start driving again only for the rewinding to continue a bit more.
Not really my kind of game. I do wish they had given us another track to drive. I'd prefer a real life one; these fantasy tracks do nothing for me. And please, more AA next time. I don't care if you have to reduce detail elsewhere, just get the image quality up.
Sorry for the negativity. As I said, I'm not a fan of the genre and that probably explains why I'm not excited about this. On the plus side, now I don't have to buy an expensive wheel that I can probably never get to work on my Linux box.
