  • I have PC2 in my collection but haven’t tried it on the deck yet. I played quite a lot of the original Project Cars, which has a career mode, but that one is just seemingly linear progression, “moving up” in the series. It’s unfortunately lacking the entire car collecting aspect, checking which of your cars works for a specific event/series, and if none fits, “go shopping” for a car that does.

    I also have Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione on steam, and they are great sims to sit down in front of the tv, set up a wheel and go racing, but they, too, lack the entire car collection aspect. You start a race or series, hop in a car that’s provided, and once done, you move on to the next series, abandon the old car, and get in a new one.

    Really the best thing I can play is GT4 or Forza 4 on an emulator, and Forza 4 doesn’t currently work on the 360 emus :(




  • Racing games are my absolute favourite genre. I played quite a few of them on the deck, here’s a list of games I can recommend:

    • 80s Overdrive
    • Burnout Paradise Remastered
    • Dirt 3
    • Horizon Chase Turbo
    • Make Way
    • Mudrunner
    • Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered
    • New Star GP
    • Project Cars
    • Race Condition
    • Spintires
    • Split/second
    • WRC 10
    • Wreckfest

    Note: some titles, namely Dirt 3, Project Cars or Spintires are no longer available officially, but can still be purchased on key resellers for reasonable prices.


  • basically invisible until the last moment: no light, wear black clothes (and often in the wrong direction)

    I am unfamiliar with rules regarding traffic-worthiness of a bicycle, but in germany, your bike requires certain equipment to be fitted to the bike - reflectors on the spokes, front and rear light at night, etc. Additionally, you’re not allowed to drive in the wrong direction, unless specifically allowed to with a street sign (one-way-streets often allow for ciclysts to drive against the direction)

    If those rules don’t exist in a similar fashion in italy: consider making the bike traffic worthy before forcing ciclysts into high-viz-gear and therefore reduce their willingness to actually use a bike in the first place.

    If those rules do exist in a similar fashion already: cyclists are apparently not following those rules, adding another rule for high-viz-gear is most likely not going to be followed either. Maybe consider enforcing the existing rules before adding another rule.
