I feel this is a step backwards (from what I've played so far - PS4 Pro).
- frame rate occaisionally drops
- the track surface seems bland and dark (more like a game vs. reality)
- the order of race tracks in the menu is completely wrong
- they've removed some short track configurations (Silverstone, Bahrain and Austine)
- classic cars are gone
I guess that in time these things will improve, but it is a sign of the times that more and more games are released as unfinished products.
I find that the cars often look like they're not actually on the surface, and it's visibly quite clear. It's not on every track, but they just don't look realistic.
I wondered at first if it was a shading thing, where the light textures on the vehicles are different to the track, and it's shadows causing it.
- Not really fussed about losing classic cars. Cars from 2000+ are not classics, but every year we get the same 2007 Ferrari, 2008 Mclaren, 2010 Red Bull etc. If they were offering more 80's content it'd be far more interesting to me.
- Short circuits are also not interesting for me.
- I look forward to Imola and Portimao being added.

Yes, always thought on replays especially the cars don't appear to be touching the track. I also want the whole thing to look more dirty, cars and tracks are only clean at the start of the race. And visibility doesn't just change between wet and dry conditions
Yes to 80's content. I'm sure a standalone 80s game could do very well. Adding imola could help them with that.
And yes, no way am I buying it until the tracks are added
The board equivalent of the Jody scheckter chicane. Fast but pointless
Glad they did away with older cars. The game engine is designed for high-downforce modern cars with little chassis movement and older late 80s/90s cars just felt too rigid and easy-to-drive. Like they were 2020s cars with reduced grip and power values...which, not surprisingly, they are.
I'm not a massive fan of Portimao and the unsighted corner approaches. I've only done about 20 laps around it, so I know it now, but not the type of knowledge I have of the 1994-2010 circuits.
