I don't know why Kiribati isn't avaible on the console.
I'm just hoping it works on my multiple device set up, got a T248 spare so my pedals work as last resort but would like the gear shifter and handbrake working like most other pc driving games.

"Early Access"... otherwise know as "The Release Date".

the EG review is not worth reading as its so light on details. It does read like he played a few races then went to the coffee shop to write the review as he savored his farts  |

Yeah it's an extremely lightweight review, that misses a ton of specific detail people will be interested in.

This bit is cracking me up:
It's a fucking racing game. Jesus Christ!

Oh dear, looks like someone is angling for a permanent job with that prose.

Do cars make life worth living, or does life make cars worth driving?

That's a fairly good overall analysis. When I first saw that MP replay bug I thought they'd included a crash mode! |

Do cars make life worth living, or does life make cars worth driving? Does my head in actually. This is from their just published Assassin's Creed Mirage review conclusion: "Prose, goes the old Orwell quote, should be like a windowpane. Not sure I agree with that all the time, and actually, I'm not sure that Saint George agreed with it all the time either. But for a game like Assassin's I've realised that design formula, the ludic equivalent of prose, really does work a bit like a window pane in its best moments" |

Ha, it's a Donlan review. Of course.

Wheel feels better than any other forza game.
Multiplayer has safety ratings and skill level, 3 races in a Honda Civic to get your rating and let loose into the ranked stuff. Can still do some modes like spec series without the ranked stuff.

Had a bash at lunchtime. Looks impressive, as expected. Playing on pad, handling feels nice. Only did some sp races at 2 notches down from max difficulty AI rating, couldn’t get any higher than 6th which is roughly where I started. I like it

It does read like he played a few races then went to the coffee shop to write the review as he savored his farts It's on GP, and I've played previous FM games, so don't need to read a review - but that told me absolutely nothing. I know DF will do a deep down on the visuals, and from what I have seen am sure it will look great. But for a review to not once mention the handling, what might have changed from the last model, or how it plays on pads vs wheels makes it, well, not really a review at all. |

The DF tech review was longer than the actual review. Crazy times.

If you’re on Xbox you can reset your region to a territory it’s been activated in and voila, you’re away.
If you’re on pc I’ve no idea if a vpn will do the trick

Still trying to find the best combo of difficulty, 7/8 means I can't hit the practice bonus times but win races starting third (mostly through the start of the race, AI end up with fastest laps).
