Playing Projject Cars on the X1 now. It's a lot harder than Forza motorsport lol


How'e you liking it though?


Only played for a bit but the career mode is fantastic, best career mode in a racing game I've played. Graphics seem on par with Forza 5 but only played 1 track yet.

Movie/media wise - 100% 

Gaming-wise - Disagree to the infinity.  INFINITY.  

Universe-wise - Both on equal terms.

Forza's career mode has never been all that amazing tbh

I should have said Forza Horizon.  THough i dont really think racing games in general have much of a career mode.  Just race some other people and earn money for the most part.  Some has story like NFS, but usually isnt very good




       

FH2 in particular has quite a good career mode. I like the whole "road trip" feel to it and whilst it's nothing special, it gets the job done and you do feel like you've achieved something at the end of it. Maybe it's because the final race is a marathon in and of itself, though.

You know what did have a great career mode? NFS: Most Wanted (the first one). That's more of an arcade racer than a sim racer though...and whilst the different modes in FM4 were good they were only strung together by some pretense of your "pro ranking" or something of that ilk. Perhaps it's best for such games to avoid a story mode altogether, and just have it like GT5.

There was probably a point to all this but I'll be damned if I can remember what that point was. Still, sounds like Project Cars is enjoyable which is good enough for me.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Star Wars universe is the best thing ever. Even with my Harry Potter bias.

gaming wise you probably missed the masterpieces that came out over the years.
