The game is stated to cost 45 dollars so its not a bad deal (if we get the game of course).

just looking at their race calendar, looks like i might have been missing out on some quality grid GT racing. Their thursday and saturday GT races are fully booked with about 40+ cars ! I didnt even know rfactor was running decent GT racing. Not used it for a couple of years since i lost it with a pc rebuild and never bothered reinstalling.
I guess if they are saying you get Rf2 for free they can hardly renege on the deal now? The community would slaughter them. Is it a limited offer though? Surely all those current rf member on r2p will get first dibs?

Just received this pm from R2P... "The following rFactor 2 activation code is valid for one year (18 months if they activate during beta) of online play. You are responsible for any costs beyond that time. It may also be used towards the "lifetime version" or rFactor 2, but there will be a small amount not covered which you will have to pay if you choose to purchase the lifetime membership with ImageSpace Inc. Your unique rFactor 2 activation code is: (  ) Race2Play rF2 promo-purchasers should have the rFactor 2 installer available for download in just a few days!" Seems fair enough to me. |

If you clicked on the rf2 promo link you should receive a similar pm to the one above shortly. Mine took a few hours to come through. |

Hmmm, I wonder if that code is for online use only? The activation code for the software should be a permanent thing, and my guess is that you may need that as well.

Sounds like its concentrating more on online play, as they've always said its going to be a subscription model for the online side, there has been no mention of if you want to play offline with it.

I was lucky enough to get in early on the beta rFactor 2 does a lot of things very well... Lighting transition looks fabulous, set it for 5am and watch the sun come up, it's beautiful. Sounds is great, the reverb from the stands is wonderful. AI is smart, they won't divebomb you like other games. But.... the core driving experience just isn't as good as iRacing, it isn't as good as C.A.R.S. either which I'd put in 2nd place at the moment. Combine the accuracy of the track with the indefinable "feel" of the force feedback and rF2 is a bit behind as it stands. I was really expecting more of a "WOW" factor and it just isn't there for me. The Megane's and the Formula Renault cars just remind me of everything I didn't like about rF1, they just feel disconnected from the track somehow. The 60's Formula cars are a lot more fun and I'll definitely spend some more time with them. Overall, it's pretty good but others have raised the bar quite a bit higher in the last few years and rF2 hasn't quite kept up. |
