Yo.
Are many people here interested in playing racing games at Respawn?
I'm considering taking my G25 (just got a G27 Wheel Stand Pro for it - www.wheelstandpro.com.au), in hope there's some people that might want to play some multiplayer GTR Evolution, GTR2, DiRT2... I dunno (please, no GRID).

If there's not much interest (which is what I am assuming), I imagine GTR is out of the question, as it'd just be boring.
DiRT2 however, could still be interesting with few players, and is pretty fun with a wheel, yet still playable with a keyboard.

So, any players here with a wheel who'd be down for racing...? And if not, anyone down for some DiRT2 or something at some point?

I'm down for sim racing, but most at Respawn seem against it 'cause they suck, or something.
Though Live For Speed is pretty -okay- (I have S2 Licensed as well but don't enjoy it that much... lack of real cars and tracks + terrible sound = meh, regardless of car physics), I really dislike rFactor. The FFB always trying to pull to the side when I want to turn really puts me off, and the sound is TERRIBLE.
For sim-racing, I'm an iRacing and GTR guy. tongue.gif

I mentioned F1 2010 'cause it's new, fun, looks great, sounds great, plays great, and has LAN functionality.
More people might be inclined to try it out, since it's relatively playable with a keyboard (using assists), and controller, along with a wheel.
