RaceRoom Vs Rfactor2?

[VikingFjord]

i try to decide what game to invest in afther getting myself a new Wheel
i have tried the Rfactor Demo and i liked it
but RaceRoom is a little "scary" to me becuse its so expencive i would have to buy every track and cars to have all content and it would be very expencive not much of a free to play..

U never heard of Assetto Corsa?

Try Game Stock Car 2013 ... only $29.95 and a great driving sim. Bought it the other day and using a wireless Xbox 360 controller, lots of fun.

R3E is expensive, and there's nothing to do with the content at this point once you've bought it.
I doubt that it will be mod-able, so we'll be limited to the features the devs give us.

I think RF2 is a friggin' mess right now. Runs like crap. In the LONG term, I'd go with RF2, though. The mod community will make it worth the money.

[VikingFjord]

in what way is RF2 a mess? i tried the demo and it feels nice but thats only a demo

[S Flynn]

The physics and FFB are rock solid, it's just not very well optimized yet.
It runs pretty bad unless you have a high-end machine.

But there's SO much to do already. Tons of online races, and you can race AI or run time attacks, etc

[VikingFjord]

i got a high end pc so i guess it would run smooth here
i run the demo on max settings i guess i will buy a year and see how i like it

If pricing is your main concern I'd suggest to wait. R3E will see some major developments this year and there might be something in the pipeline for you. They do sales now and then which make the prices ok but if you're looking for a whole package I'd also say go with GSC for now and give R3E a shot later this year.

I'm not convinced by RF2, performance isn't great (on my machine, which isn't lo-end) and there's not much "official" content. Of course there's mods but they rise and fall with the talent of the modder and most of them just don't do it for me. And 85$s ain't that cheap either.

rf2 tres fort le jeu supret realiste mais tres gourmand en resources

This

Because of the sales, I've got more R3E content for $30 than RF2 official content for $85.

But, I feel that I paid $85 so I could drive Targa Florio. And I'm ok with that.

what would all the content of R3E cost including DTM?

To lazy to do the math now. ;) Sure it's expensive, never doubted that. But if you got everything you'd already have more (and imo more interesting) content compared to RF2 plus an official racing series. If you got all the sales that have been run up to now you might be well under 80$, excluding DTMX that is of course.

Not trying to slag off RF2, it's a nice product. But if Simbin manage to introduce the missing core features (SP/MP) in a favourable way, it will be a great platform.

[VikingFjord]

i do however belive that during this year RF2 will also be a good game perhaps it would take little longer time to reach RF1 but it will come there

I wonder how much multiplayer will cost, when implemented to R3E. Probably another 20€ or so, i reckon. Physics in this game also needs to be tweaked a bit, imo, to be a true sim contender in this department.
The community is quite dead atm, as well, compared to even the more obscure titles such as GSC2013. There is hardly any activity on here or on other popular sim racing websites. Simbin needs to step it up and release something big and exciting. There always is time to get it right. If the end product turns out great, is priced ok and people enjoy it,it will grow and gain popularity fast and become a success no doubt. Will be interesting to see how 2014 will turn out for R3E.

I have both and believe RaceRoom is way better especially graphically and performance wise. We are all tired waiting on single and multiplayer but I honestly believe that while Race Room is very expensive its far better than R Factor 2
