One thing I've noticed this game is much less forgiving about is weight transfer of the car. If your car isn't properly set when you hit a corner or dip in the track, its going to throw you in a direction you don't want to go.  There's one track I always fuck up on with a slight left turn over a crest, and I'm hitting the brakes too late as I go over the hill and my ass end kicks out and I'm the grass. The first 2 or 3 laps is always like that until I remember that turn.

I find Gran Turismo and Forza were more forgiving in that aspect. The car would usually stay planted, or at the most wobble a bit.

I had to adjust the settings I linked to as well.  I'll edit this once I can get to my PS4 and look up the values.

I haven't messed around with tuning at all because up until just now when I went to look at it, I couldn't figure out how to change anything but tire compound and pressure.

Now that I see you need to hit R2/L2 to get more tuning 'pages', it looks to be quite in depth.  On par I'd say with Gran Turismo 6, but I just took a quick look at it.

I think with this particular group of gamers, ArmA 3 has a bit more of an appeal than Battlefield anyways.  It doesn't take much convincing.

It should be available once they update the store after 5pm EST I think.

In the meantime, here's a quick practice session before qualifying for the Renault Clio Cup:

Things I love about the sound in this game are the little things that a lot of people won't notice like the turbo blow-off valve sound, or if a car hits the dirt/rocks in front of you, you'll hear them ping off your car as they fly up and you drive through them.  

I've been playing for about 4 hours now, and here's what I've concluded so far.

Visuals

The game looks really good.  The lighting is amazing.  Trackside isn't always the best looking, but the cars themselves are really good looking inside and out, and the weather effects are quite good.  This is probably one of the better looking games I've played in the PS4, and definitely the best racing game I've played (understandably).

Sound

The sounds are absolutely incredible.  One of my favourite parts of the game so far is just hearing the engines scream at 9000rpm, then the slight jump in RPM to bounce off the redline as you jam the clutch in to shift.  It just captures the sound so well.  

Vehicle Handling

The handling of the cars is pretty damn good.  It really puts emphasis on getting your tires and brakes warm before you can really run good laps.  So far, every race I've been in needed 1 lap to properly warm up the drive tires.  Once the tires show green on your HUD, you're good to go all out.

Controls 

If you're playing with a controller, you really really need to spend 10-15 minutes fine tuning the adjustments.  I found the stock settings did not go well with my way of driving, so I had to modify them.  I started with the settings found here and adjusted them accordingly to my style.  Once that was set, I had a hell of a better time controlling my car.

I went into the Clio Cup for my first class of races.  You can really tell the difference between FF, FR, MR, and RR vehicles in this game, and it feels like it's not just 'FF understeers, FR oversteers' etc.  The cars really do feel completely unique.  So far other than the Clio, I've taken the Caterham Classic, BMW 320 Turbo (a ton of fun), the classic Merc 190E Evolution (another hugely fun car to drive), and Formula A (see video below) out for a spin, and have enjoyed all of them so far.  The game really does have most major racing disciplines covered, and I'm really looking forward to trying out all of them.  Even karts, which GT really put me off of.

Here's a video of me testing out the Formula A for the first time.  I've read in a lot of places they're very difficult to handle, so I took it slow, warmed up the tires, then tried to do a full speed lap.  I'm racing with stability control and ABS, manual gearbox, no traction control, no racing line or anything (I tried the racing line but it was pretty bad. Break points were way off).

These are the types of missions I want to do. Looks like he has some nice mods.

I don't think I've ever not had them. Just press 'N' to turn them on. Most downed enemies will have them, just check their inventory and it goes in a slot above your weapon I think, not in a pack or pants or anything.

I'm really enjoying night missions. And sniping.

I'm finding chopper controls very annoying using the mouse.  Sometimes moving the mouse left/right will rotate the chopper, other times it will roll it.  I never know which it's going to do, and it's very frustrating.

Found out last night from a guy in the game, CTRL-G will cycle through grenades.  G throws them.

This game can be really quite nice looking.

Full album

BOLD, you'll absolutely find me playing Project CARS.  I didn't get Hardline for a couple reasons, but one of them was knowing it would be just like BF4 in that most people would stop playing after a short while.

I can understand Kotaco buying the game a 3rd time now on PC.  Mods are awesome.

For the few of us that still play Battlefield 4.  Source

DICE is working on a lot of extra content for Battlefield 4. We’re getting night maps, a brand new community map, and some unannounced content as well.

But Battlefield 4 players have been asking whether all this new content will be free, and DICE has now confirmed that, yes, all future BF4 content will be free of charge for all players.

DICE’s David Sirland confirmed that all future content will be free for everyone, that includes both Premium and non-Premium players. The new content includes both the new maps, and the upcoming Gunmaster game mode and new weapons.

The upcoming Spring patch will include the Gunmaster game mode and 4 new weapons, including the AN-94 assault rifle. All of these will be free for everyone.

In the future, the Night Maps update will include night versions of several maps, including Siege of Shanghai, Zavod 311, and Golmud Railway. You can check out some Battlefield 4 night maps screenshots here.

Finally, this Summer, DICE will release the brand new community map, which recently entered production. In addition to the community map, an unannounced map remake from a former Battlefield game is also in the works and will be released in the future.

Overall, Battlefield 4 players have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming months.

First reviews are starting to roll in, most coming in the 80-90% range.  Can't wait for next week!

From IGN: 

The important thing is Project CARS wants to make me feel like a racing driver just like FIFA wants to put players on the pitch in their favourite football team.

It worked

I am getting it for PS4, yes.

I've been going with TP-Link routers for a while now. Cheap but good performance.  This is the one I'm currently using, and so far it's been great.

I love the part with the time-lapse of the weather change.

Official launch trailer is out. One more week!

Balz hit the nail on the head. Some routers even have a function that will scan each channel for you to find the best one.  If you have any close neighbours that happen to be on the same channel, that could be causing some interference as well.

Just change your channel and see if it helps with the interference. If it doesn't help, change to the next one and try again.

Already well past me. I got really frustrated with the first mission and just gave up on it, reverting to messing around with the NATO sandbox.

Haha not my fault they are too slow going into the corners.

I was a year old in '87

I live in Canada.  Our internet is shit.  I pay $80/month for this shit.
