I have to say that LFS does not present me with the sensation of high speeds that I got from GT: Legends. Driving a Capri to the limit on slicks or even an AC Cobra on bias-plys made me fully aware that I was "hanging on for dear life". Not to bust anyone's bubble, but even Gran Turismo 4 did a good job on speed sensation...especially on the Le Mans track. Maybe a future release would implement it better.
I don't care if LFS is "old". I have only been playing LFS for a week and I must say that I am quite impressed. I just switched over from GT: Legends (uninstalled now) and I will take LFS's gameplay and its multitude of customization options/tweaks over GT: Legend's eye candy any day of the week! For me, the only reason I was such a latecomer to LFS was the lack of "real name" car licenses. Now, I could really car less. The biggest thing that attracted me was the total lack of lag in LFS. I prefer to race almost exclusively online. Being in the states, I have found that a good majority of racers in most racing games are in Europe. When I race GTL and GTR online, my FPS drops down to almost unplayable levels at times. In LFS, there is occasionally a small hiccup..and it doesn't even have a noticeable effect on gameplay. I don't even want to mention the PITA that occurs everytime I try to get online through their third party menus. LFS...no problem. I am officially hooked.
Ordered mine this weekend from TigerDirect...with "permission" from the wife of course. It was cheaper to order it online and pay for shipping (no tax) than try to buy it locally.
I tried LFS for the first time about a week and a half ago and I loved it so much that I already uninstalled GTR and GT Legends as I won't be playing them again for a while. My DFP has had a good long life of being literally thrashed over 1000's of miles on GT Legends and its starting to get kinda "clunky". One of my biggest annoyances with the DFP was that during really long races, where my hands would perspire, I noticed that my palms would be covered in black. I could never really tell if it was rubber from the wheel or if it was just "dead skin cells". I really hope that the leather wheel on the G-25 is more comfortable (and less sticky) than the rubber one on the DFP. I also hope the H-shifter is decent because I HATE the sequential shifter on the DFP. There is no way the G-25 pedals could be stiffer than the clutch and brake in my Mustang so that should be no problem as long as the carpet gripper works as well as the DFP does. I guess I'll find out before the week is up. :twocents:
