WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.879 whether you're a big rally racing nerd with a Sim setup in your living room or 00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:08.719 not EA Sports WRC is a bundle of fun 00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:13.320 allowing you to smack into trees in Fidelity that was previously reserved 00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:18.840 for the pros but just how much do you need to spend to have a satisfying Sim 00:00:15.799 --> 00:00:20.680 racing experience to find out EA Sports 00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:24.519 handed us one metric bushel of sponsorship money and basically said I 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:30.560 don't know do whatever you want as long as you work in a few talking points about the game so we decided to get the 00:00:28.439 --> 00:00:35.040 whole range of setups from a wheel and pedals that we got for $30 on Facebook 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:40.480 Marketplace hooked up to a PC that matches their minimum spec all the way 00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:45.960 up to a racing Sim setup that costs more than an actual rally car is it worth it 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:50.199 to spend a bit more cash on your rig or would you be better off sticking with a 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:54.920 PS5 controller cuz not going to lie that's looking like a very real 00:00:52.760 --> 00:01:00.440 possibility right now meet the thrustmaster t80 Ferrari 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:05.159 Edition side note guys you absolutely should not pay extra for the prancing 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:09.400 pony logo just get an unbranded t80 we found this one for $30 on Facebook 00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:13.960 Marketplace including some tasty feet picks so that's the way you're going to 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:18.720 want to go if you're aiming at a pretty basic setup speaking of basic setup 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:22.880 getting this setup is very easy you just throw the wheel at your Tech Tippy 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:26.479 friend and let him figure it out oh interesting and we're timing me 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:30.360 excellent and begin to be clear the point is not to set some kind of speed 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:35.520 record for installing a racing wheel but rather just to provide some convenience 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:40.159 context for each of the various setups all we got to do for this guy is loosen 00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:45.759 the desk clamp without clamping this guy I have personally done that before slide 00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:47.600 this bad boy onto here tighten and clamp 00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:52.079 the desk clamp oh boy I can kind of see leaving it plugged 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:55.079 in but just in a pile next to you I suspect that's what a lot of people end 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.439 up doing but we're going to go ahead and plug her in Alex was your Genius plan to 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.759 use this Ikea foot rest to kind of angle the pedals or am I moving it out of the 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:06.880 way that would be horrible okay fair enough hey but how convenient is that 00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:11.760 now you don't need a foot rest ow dang it 00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:16.840 okay I am really not selling this very well am I not the single most ergonomic 00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:20.800 okay no with the chair adjustments we're going to need a little bit more time 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:25.560 there that's not so bad under 2 minutes hold on hold on you're missing something 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:31.280 what are you doing you take them Jam them into the wheels like that that's my 00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:38.160 Pro Racing Tip right there then you don't slide back oh yeah hey that's not 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.480 bad it's mostly stops 2 minutes 30 00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:43.959 seconds just about on the nose let's fire up the game do we have a solution 00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:47.519 for the uh pedals no oh I guess I could just put them against the wall yeah and 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:51.280 you see that box that's filled with sandpaper how do I always end up 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:55.760 crawling around under your desk it's only happened like once before there we 00:02:52.920 --> 00:03:00.720 go if it's stupid and it works it's not stupid okay this is not bad you've got 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:04.799 your abxy or at least the PlayStation equivalent this engine start button is 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.239 actually a little d-pad which is super cool now that we're on the main menu 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:13.640 there's a whole wack of gameplay options but we're just going to jump straight into quickplay where we can play solo or 00:03:11.239 --> 00:03:17.840 multiplayer in a variety of different modes they've got quick generate create 00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:21.319 rally where you can create a custom one and a regularity rally which I assume 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.840 has something to do with the crapping yourself that you might do going over 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:28.760 some of these jumps and stuff sorry I'm not I'm not into rally racing so I don't 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:34.360 know all the lingo and Alex you say we want H1 for wheel Drive yes why H1 00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:38.640 what's H1 yeah that's historic the first that means nothing to me okay perfect no 00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:43.120 it it just means like it's the very oldest oh okay ooh competition type 00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:49.319 realistic that's one of the things people are really excited about with this game is it's not super 00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:55.720 arcadey which is going to be a problem for me oh my God our poor 00:03:53.319 --> 00:04:00.959 car can you tell this wasn't our first take 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.360 woo oh no 00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:08.879 okay things didn't take long to go sideways and uh not going to lie I don't 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:13.840 think I can blame the game for it in spite of the fact that we're running on 00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:17.880 minimum Hardware so this is a 9600k with 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:20.600 a GTX 1060 I'm getting about 50 FPS 00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:25.880 running at 1080p low without Dynamic resolution scaling 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:28.080 overall pretty smooth gaming experience 00:04:25.880 --> 00:04:31.199 I can't say the same for my wheel though that doesn't mean somebody more skilled 00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:35.479 could put up some decent times with this thing not everybody needs an expansive 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:39.000 array of buttons and an Alcantara wrap I mean the shifting paddles are tactile 00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:44.120 enough and you're certainly not going to lose your grip on it but it lacks any 00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:49.039 kind of force feedback meaning that particularly for an inexperienced driver 00:04:46.440 --> 00:04:52.560 not having any kind of feedback from the vehicle you know steering a little 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:56.600 harder when you're going faster or from the shape of the road makes it really 00:04:55.080 --> 00:05:03.039 difficult to tell what the heck is going on cuz all I have is the visual cues 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:04.680 which at that point raises the question 00:05:03.039 --> 00:05:08.759 why don't I just use a controller let's try this for comparison the controller 00:05:06.919 --> 00:05:15.639 definitely has the convenience factor going for it uh there here let me start 00:05:13.479 --> 00:05:15.639 my 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:22.880 timer 3.67 seconds 00:05:22.919 --> 00:05:30.520 oo they've got integration with the ps5s 00:05:27.479 --> 00:05:32.000 rumble your door is going don't worry 00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:39.080 about my door man you worry about your door okay oh shoot I'm going to blow up 00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:39.080 my engine never mind my doors oh boy 00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:48.120 um I just need a little bit of time to 00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:52.160 get the H really you can 00:05:52.840 --> 00:05:59.960 tell I mean woo stuff still happens uh 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:09.759 okay hey we made it around that corner second gear mind you but we made it 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:15.960 around the corner grand total adjustment time about 2 minutes and I'm pretty sure 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:20.680 I'm better on this already 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.160 oh don't speak too soon that's how you 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:27.400 learn we know that this is not an Apples to Apples comparison the price Delta 00:06:24.919 --> 00:06:31.759 between this and that wheel is over double but this at least serves other 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.360 purposes and doesn't take up as much space in your house and I think it's 00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:40.080 fair to say from our short experience that a wheel without force speedback is 00:06:37.880 --> 00:06:46.280 just plain not going to be a good time I mean PS5 winner oh buy a lot I tested 00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:51.599 this on the Shakedown I was 12 seconds faster on the controller that's like 25% 00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:52.960 faster it's crazy yeah bottom line 00:06:51.599 --> 00:06:58.360 though don't let us tell you what you like at the cost of a basic wheel 00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:00.639 secondhand you should just buy one try 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:04.560 it and then if you don't like it resell it probably for the exact same amount 00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:09.680 you paid it's my favorite kind of free rental I do it all the time of course 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:14.280 the real reason that we did this video was not actually to look at the extremes 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:18.800 both high and low budget but rather so Alex could have an excuse to build his 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:23.680 personal mid tier setup on work time wait what yeah yeah okay that actually 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:27.759 makes a lot of sense and explains why we're at your house for this shoot 00:07:25.479 --> 00:07:31.560 guys's been genuinely stoked for this game since it was announced that Cod 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:36.360 master has picked up the wcip and he's put together a pretty nice but not 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:42.000 unreasonable rig for it starting with the GT light Pro from Next Level racing 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:47.360 once again in theory we just uh crack this thing open and it's 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:54.080 Off to the Races I'm making it look so easy you really really are 00:07:51.400 --> 00:07:57.840 not oh wait why am I doing this this is your job all right okay I just r videos 00:07:56.840 --> 00:08:03.280 let's Benchmark it wait you're going to undo it now we're going to time me again just for fun but theoretically once it's 00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:07.280 all set up it would just be a matter of unfolding it and you're pretty much good 00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:13.599 to go we're going to want to run these cables first including I yes power oh 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:19.000 this is cool we got some handy dandy little 3D printed spacers here so we can 00:08:16.479 --> 00:08:24.120 clamp this onto a really really Slim plate like this and then we got a couple 00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:26.919 of screws to secure this into place we 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:32.399 line up I don't know am I allowed to have a helper friend yes oh wow 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:38.800 oh nice you don't happen to have handy dandy spacers for this boy do you I have 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:42.479 screws for it you have screws oh well 00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:44.720 yes that will do uh there we go there we 00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:49.959 go oh what was that still good I don't know 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:54.680 by now it should be pretty obvious that we're spending both a lot more time and 00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:59.120 a lot more money on this versus our last setup but when you consider the extra 00:08:56.959 --> 00:09:02.720 utility not to mention how much you're all already into it for by the time 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:07.160 you've got a PC that will run this game at its best I don't think it's that 00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:13.160 unreasonable this seat for example the GT Racing light is $300 new and you can 00:09:10.680 --> 00:09:17.120 get a less cushiony version for $50 less and you can find them for as little 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:23.079 as150 used if you're lucky other than that we just need a USB and an HDMI 00:09:20.040 --> 00:09:26.920 cable to run over to our PC and we 00:09:23.079 --> 00:09:31.040 should be pretty much good to go H uh 00:09:26.920 --> 00:09:33.440 USB extension anyone oh hi perfect uh if 00:09:31.040 --> 00:09:37.079 you don't need USB 3 speeds active cables like this one are an inexpensive 00:09:35.079 --> 00:09:42.440 and convenient way to extend the range beyond the official specification as for 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:48.200 what we're plugging it into meet Alex's G27 it's the same racing wheel Logitech 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:55.560 has been making for about 19 years but the 2009 version of it that is uh not as 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:58.440 good as the original one but better than the ones that they have now yeah how 00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:03.640 exactly does that work that they keep bringing out new ones that have less 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:06.880 features and higher prices like the g920 00:10:03.640 --> 00:10:09.240 doesn't even include a shifter 00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:15.959 anymore the good news is that means you can get something old like this one a 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:18.040 G27 or even a G25 and still get a modern 00:10:15.959 --> 00:10:24.480 gaming experience out of it these can be had for around the 150 to $250 us range 00:10:22.920 --> 00:10:28.200 by the way we're not going to be running this stock uh Alex do you have some hair 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:33.200 elastics handy oh yes one second of course he does I need to go steal them 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:36.240 so we go around here with two okay hold 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:40.200 it up wait don't you don't you lift a 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.200 knee bra I a rally car you 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.519 go yeah yeah 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:51.560 ious now we just need a display mounting for a monitor is not included with most 00:10:49.760 --> 00:10:54.440 of these seats because it's typical for people to set this up in their living 00:10:52.880 --> 00:10:59.920 room or their family room and use their TV but as a not forever alone Alex 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:02.959 doesn't really have that opt which is funny because she thinks it's 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:07.160 not going to disturb her I guess but like it's really loud when the force 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:12.120 feedback is running this any who let's put this monitor onto 00:11:09.880 --> 00:11:16.200 this Mount that you got from also next level racing and what are one of these 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:21.120 worth uh 100 bucks or so okay this is going to be difficult it's the power of 00:11:17.839 --> 00:11:22.399 the LTT screwdriver LTT how do we get 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:29.839 the other ones in now that's that's the bit that I was concerned about oh like 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:32.800 this well okay you could oh okay in all 00:11:29.839 --> 00:11:32.800 seriousness though I bet we 00:11:33.800 --> 00:11:39.480 can I think we can get this last one hold on you want to you might want to 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:44.440 back back that off yeah that one's not going in nope that's a negatory but the 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.240 good news is that it's not going to get lost cuz it's trapped in there you got 00:11:47.040 --> 00:11:54.360 to have a seat though so we can get the height adjusted okay oh goodness oh goodness I don't 00:11:52.920 --> 00:12:00.519 think you're supposed to get in from that side with the shift rally oh my 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.880 mic's caught too now I can't oh boy 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.920 is this the right height for you sir uh it needs to go up a little bit wait you want it that close to you want the wheel 00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:09.480 covering that much of the screen yeah it's fine oh I mean I guess that's sort 00:12:07.560 --> 00:12:15.320 of the experience the fov is like the biggest thing right okay not bad I mean 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:17.120 you don't have Ed's um Racing shoes that 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:21.079 heel toe I mean probably could have been a little better if you weren't in 00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:24.279 moccasins you stay put cuz I think getting in and out of there is not 00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:28.480 happening at this point I'll get you set up okay I think we're supposed to like 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:32.600 move this thing away that's how you get in it out uh race cars are hard to get 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:36.720 into it's just realistic something to note if you want to replicate Alex's 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.160 setup which by far is the best bang for the buck out of what we're looking at 00:12:37.880 --> 00:12:44.600 today we'll have everything links down below is that the G27 specifically 00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:48.519 cooperates best with a USB 2 Port so this is a usb3 extension but he 00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:53.360 specifically chose this motherboard because it has USB 2 ports and we're 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:57.320 operating in USB 2 mode this is amazing 00:12:53.360 --> 00:13:00.440 why are you going out that side it's 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:05.040 great ah yes being 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:07.320 short not so bad after all is it this is 00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:12.880 the Difference Maker while the other wheel had tension when you turned it to 00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:18.600 the side this one has Motors inside it that actively resist you according to 00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:21.760 the bumps in the road or the force with which you should be turning they're not 00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:26.720 the most sophisticated Motors you can get ones that are higher power or have 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:32.720 better granularity but I am expecting this to be a major step up yeah uh this 00:13:30.079 --> 00:13:36.839 is another critical piece of any Sim setup you do not want to do what he was 00:13:34.839 --> 00:13:41.120 doing or even what I was doing every time you need a keyboard or Mouse so 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:45.560 having one of these magnet to the bottom of the chair is an a Player move is this 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:49.360 the monitor you're going to be using or is this just something you stole from work for now oh no this is my monitor it 00:13:48.199 --> 00:13:54.800 was supposed to replace the one that's in there uh it's better every single way 00:13:51.959 --> 00:13:59.320 but the OSD sucks so I don't use it oh it's really bad like awful just terrible 00:13:57.839 --> 00:14:02.320 why how often you need to use the on screen display all the time cuz you need 00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:07.199 it to be like brighter during the day and then turn it down during the night and then it was like in the one right 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:10.360 there I have three color temperatures three different color profiles believe 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:18.079 beautiful you can just switch between them just never oh let us know in the 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:20.399 comments are you an Alex or are you a me 00:14:18.079 --> 00:14:24.279 to logitech's credit sure they haven't developed a new wheel in 20 years but 00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:27.880 hey at least they're still supporting the old wheel that they still make yeah 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:32.000 look at all these things we can adjust in the software you got the force 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:37.480 strength the degrees of rotation that it'll take before it just stops this 00:14:35.079 --> 00:14:43.639 great centering spring disable that also degrees of rotation 270 is the best for 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:47.800 this you can go full Sim I go full I want to set records people always get so 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:51.720 like mad they're like oh it's not very realistic to do that I'm like I don't 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:57.079 care the most realistic thing is to try and win the race by exploiting the 00:14:54.880 --> 00:15:02.360 rules we've gone a little higher end for the PC this time Cod Masters recomend 00:14:59.079 --> 00:15:03.480 men's a 2070 but Alex has a 3080 so 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:07.839 we're going to go ahead and crank some details I think this time we're also going to be upgrading the experience 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:13.800 we're going to go with WC and they've got 18 locations with gravel snow and 00:15:10.920 --> 00:15:21.480 tarmac that according to Cod Masters is greatly improved Alex wanted me to go 00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:27.680 with Chile and this is a gravel map 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:30.040 track no stage stage 34.7 km that is an 00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:35.600 incredibly huge map to create no wonder this didn't 00:15:33.319 --> 00:15:40.839 launch on PlayStation 4 like how could you even contain that not with these 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:46.920 apparently that's pretty cool okay now here here go to the left Builder ooh 00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:51.319 what are we doing you're building a car what do you mean I don't know where 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:53.800 engines go Mid Engine yeah sure oh my 00:15:51.319 --> 00:16:00.160 gosh exhaust kits like what why what do you mean like just to 00:15:57.880 --> 00:16:07.160 change the sound oh okay well this one then I guess right 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:09.720 sure I mean yeah breaks I uh get the 00:16:07.160 --> 00:16:14.199 good one I guess painite I can feel the pain of everyone watching this who's 00:16:12.199 --> 00:16:17.639 actually into this stuff including our sponsor by the way thank you very much 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:22.680 no no he he knows the stuff Andrew knows it the most he's just letting me 00:16:19.160 --> 00:16:25.680 struggle for fun am I done now oh my oh 00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:27.440 my goodness there's there's so many 00:16:25.680 --> 00:16:33.199 things this is also like kind of realistic cuz they don't even make like 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:35.959 they don't modify a Toyota Yus they take 00:16:33.199 --> 00:16:41.600 a body and put Yus body parts on it at the end I see that makes sense this is 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:45.639 like the tennis rackets that the pros supposedly use when actually they just 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:49.600 use their old racket that they trained on and learned on with a new paint job 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:54.480 so they can sell the new racket to you the idiot consumer sort of does it 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:59.199 matter how much I spent I don't think so just quick 00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:03.480 play oh it's automatic oh well that's not going to be a very 00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:08.679 Apples to Apples comparison well we can change that pretty 00:17:05.360 --> 00:17:08.679 easily there we 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:15.360 go oh no I'm immediately much worse 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:22.120 Alex wait where am I going oh he said right I okay this must be very hard for 00:17:20.760 --> 00:17:28.360 you guys to watch H this is kind of the dirt slwc 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:34.480 experience for the first couple of hours they call it the Dark Souls of racing 00:17:30.320 --> 00:17:36.000 games okay did he say extreme left I 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:38.160 can't understand his accent he sounds like 00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:47.679 Andrew woo okay that right there was the first 00:17:44.600 --> 00:17:49.080 like oh yeah I can definitely feel a 00:17:47.679 --> 00:17:55.679 difference with the force feedback moments oh you should use your left foot for breaking uh I there's no way that I 00:17:53.799 --> 00:18:01.120 would be able to do that that would completely break my brain oh no speaking 00:17:59.159 --> 00:18:07.960 of breaking thing oh yeah oh yeah still alive there is no question though that I 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:10.280 am way faster on this than I was on 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:15.919 either the other like useless wheel with no feedback or the controller you're on 00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:20.280 the road in a car that's so much harder to control oh yeah this isn't even like 00:18:18.159 --> 00:18:25.960 apples to apples either and this this is a gravel track compared to the other one 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:28.679 too right yeah uhoh uhoh uhoh handbrake 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:34.520 right sorry sorry sorry I just ah I hit the 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:37.679 thing oh no oh no don't over steer 00:18:34.520 --> 00:18:40.480 lus no no I got this i got this okay 00:18:37.679 --> 00:18:45.280 show us how it's done oh god I didn't even have fun on the other setup to be 00:18:42.520 --> 00:18:51.559 honest with you oh there's this within a minute I'm having fun totally different 00:18:49.080 --> 00:18:57.440 game oh my goodness this is like scary fast I would 00:18:54.480 --> 00:19:01.919 not want to be in this car oh sport feedback needs to get changed a lot 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:06.880 still having it at all is so much better than what we had before Alex this is 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:14.080 1440p ultra and we're sitting at about 80 FPS and it's Sol overall you beat me 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:20.720 by uh 39 well look who's keeping track of the 00:19:16.919 --> 00:19:23.200 exact number this is I can do better 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:27.440 than 136 or 25 I can't do better than one thing handbrake gas what why do you 00:19:25.320 --> 00:19:30.720 need handbrake and gas so you can let go of the handbrake oh my goodness 00:19:32.159 --> 00:19:39.720 oh that poor engine well that sounds like future Alex's problem oh yeah we 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:42.760 turned the force feedback way up and it is definitely 00:19:45.360 --> 00:19:49.600 better okay no no I got this i got 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:56.760 this oh oh no no dang 00:19:54.720 --> 00:20:03.039 it okay I'm still going to get a better time than last time oh crap here's 00:19:58.840 --> 00:20:04.640 problem you're the your oh no am I okay 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:10.000 well that explains why the brakes aren't working very well you're doing so much 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.919 worse I'm worse why am I worse the door 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:19.120 fell off I love the damage effects 00:20:14.840 --> 00:20:21.280 though no no no I'm still 00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:24.720 alive okay here we go no no no 00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:30.760 no oh it's better than last time he oh 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:37.880 yeah it's a pretty big Improvement this poor car let's let's see how she's 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:44.799 doing as great as this handbrake mod is here I'd kind of like to continue to use 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:51.320 it as a shifter so I got this thing it was 80 bucks off of Amazon and it is the 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:53.600 annex Sim racing handbrake anyway let's 00:20:51.320 --> 00:20:53.600 throw it 00:20:55.320 --> 00:21:00.919 on this this handbrake came with Hardware 00:20:59.159 --> 00:21:04.880 but the slots aren't large enough for it to go 00:21:02.520 --> 00:21:07.440 through well that's you got what you pay for I 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:17.400 guess looks it looks pretty funny whatever you guys ha nice that 00:21:15.520 --> 00:21:21.480 wasn't HT at all improvised some mounting hardware with some leftover 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:25.880 basis screws and you thought we were idiots for not putting all the screws in 00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:32.159 there once again wow honestly this seems way 00:21:29.120 --> 00:21:34.960 worse I think you just paid $80 for a 00:21:32.159 --> 00:21:42.760 downgrade sir yeah this is that feels so chunky and nice this it's chunky it yep 00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:45.000 it's um it's something the good news is 00:21:42.760 --> 00:21:47.840 there are lots of other good upgrades that you can make to a setup like this 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:53.120 if you want to spend a little bit more money like for example a nicer pedal set 00:21:51.159 --> 00:21:57.120 from someone like fitech these can either stick to the floor with their 00:21:54.679 --> 00:22:01.240 grips or can be bolted into a frame or onto a Sim rig then there's Wheels there 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:06.679 might not be a huge control advantage to it but I'd say having a wheel that's a 00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:09.360 similar diameter to an actual car might 00:22:06.679 --> 00:22:12.960 help immerse a little bit yeah yeah there we go that's more like it and this 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:17.039 particular one is attached to fitech csld DD which is the same motor that we 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:19.440 used in Jake's Intel extreme Tech upgrade 00:22:19.520 --> 00:22:25.640 and it costs almost as much 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:30.919 as this but it is a really really nice nice 00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:36.840 upgrade one that not everyone will agree about though is VR the game is supposed 00:22:33.600 --> 00:22:39.960 to add VR support sometime in the but 00:22:36.840 --> 00:22:41.760 Alex will not be using it nah the whole 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:46.279 Sim racing is hard to set up is already a huge problem you don't need to set up 00:22:43.360 --> 00:22:51.520 VR at the same time shocking how often my valve Hardware running on my valve 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:56.039 software just miraculously doesn't work from one day to the next you know what 00:22:53.840 --> 00:22:59.679 does work though is this transition to the ultimate setup the ultimate Sim 00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:03.720 racing setup that lives in our employee lounge hasn't changed since we built it 00:23:01.679 --> 00:23:09.400 and that's because it was already flipping awesome and code Masters has 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:13.919 already done the work to integrate not just higher-end peripherals from the 00:23:11.159 --> 00:23:18.080 likes of fitech and hoisting Feld oh these pedals oh see that tension it's 00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:24.799 all adjustable and everything it's so cool but even debox meaning that our 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:28.880 platform down here which has four AC Servo Motors that can independently 00:23:27.080 --> 00:23:32.880 adjust the height of each corner of the platform allowing it to tilt forward 00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:37.400 when you break lean back when you accelerate and bump all over the place 00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:41.279 when you're going over a gravel road fun fact by the way your co- driver who sits 00:23:39.520 --> 00:23:45.799 in the passenger seat and calls out which turns are coming next how far out 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:50.559 they are recorded the lines while sitting in a rig like this so that as 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:55.080 you're going down the road his voice actually reflects the condition of the 00:23:53.080 --> 00:23:58.919 road you're driving on that is so cool why am I talking about it 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:03.360 then me and lonus have both both played around with this a fair bit in the game 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:07.200 cuz honestly it's just absolute heaps of fun although that's not what we're going 00:24:05.120 --> 00:24:12.159 to be doing right now this right here is going to be an emulation of the 1985 00:24:09.919 --> 00:24:16.960 Safari rally where all that lonus needs to do for it to be historically accurate 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:21.640 is to crash out for the most part around like really long pavement stages and 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:26.000 stuff like that it's a lot of fun the Safari rally isn't it's just a workout 00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:30.880 it's punishing it hurts you what the heck if it makes you feel any better I 00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:32.799 got a 329 on the stage so it is quite 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:37.200 doable actually that's not to say I'm going to pull it off because apparently 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:42.279 we've turned damage up to hardcore mode so good luck me hey I had that too okay 00:24:41.120 --> 00:24:46.240 should I do a Shakedown yeah do a Shakedown see how she feels 00:24:46.520 --> 00:24:55.960 okay go 50 and I sto 00:24:52.200 --> 00:25:00.320 fantastic I am going really slow and 00:24:55.960 --> 00:25:00.320 this is extremely bump 00:25:00.520 --> 00:25:07.679 oh red lined it oh I'm in neutral whoopsy 00:25:04.760 --> 00:25:12.440 daisies I am not going very fast but it really feels like I am right now and I 00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:15.960 was not paying attention to my co- driver what do you say I don't know but 00:25:14.120 --> 00:25:18.880 I'm good I'm good I'm still alive something that's hard to even focus on 00:25:17.399 --> 00:25:25.279 on a course like this cuz everything's shaking all over the place and you're just trying to stay on the road is that 00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:27.840 the game looks really really good we're 00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:36.000 on a 3090 here running at what is it 3x 4K Alex yes this is freaking 00:25:31.159 --> 00:25:36.000 awesome woo oh my goodness I hit a 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:44.080 guy there is no question whatsoever that 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:49.559 the more feedback you can get into your body the more realism you get and like I 00:25:46.919 --> 00:25:54.720 can't believe what a polished State this is in for a game that isn't even out yet 00:25:52.679 --> 00:26:00.000 getting all these exotic peripherals to work with anything can be a challenging 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:04.000 at the best of times how long did it take to set this up be honest be honest 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:07.880 probably about 2 hours the hardest bit is that they don't have native triple 00:26:05.679 --> 00:26:11.559 monitor support so I had to go into a config file and get that all done you 00:26:09.760 --> 00:26:15.960 can see how it's kind of strange in the menu yeah but the debox stuff was all 00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:19.640 fine yeah that just like worked oh that's so cool okay I'm ready to start 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:24.000 how' I do in my Shakedown other than being slow that was good slow is better 00:26:21.399 --> 00:26:29.360 than crashing out yeah all right let's go let's go what was your time uh 3:26 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:34.640 and how much of it is the Shakedown I don't know about a third of it okay so I 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:39.080 could be closer than I was yesterday yeah oh put it in first and give it full 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:48.960 revs oh my goodness well that's not a good start this is it 00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:54.039 this is go time wait three left crap crap crap crap 00:26:52.360 --> 00:26:58.720 crap I got to give her more gas this is a really long gas pedal whoa I do not 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:03.399 need to give her more gas right now go slow slow is smart no no I got this i 00:27:01.399 --> 00:27:11.000 got this tight no it Titans over the crest I got this go for it no I'm not 00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:14.000 flooring it Andy go floor it or go 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:14.000 home 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:22.880 okay whoa whoa buddy how do I get in 00:27:19.520 --> 00:27:26.080 Reverse dang it I 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.320 stole crap dang it I stoed again we 00:27:26.080 --> 00:27:36.240 won't count your penalties there's penalties for resetting oh jump 8 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:41.440 jump woo man if this gas pedal was a little 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:45.559 shorter I'd be having a way easier time with 00:27:43.159 --> 00:27:53.200 it stop it whoa what the hell this is something 00:27:50.159 --> 00:27:56.039 no I can't not stall this 00:27:53.200 --> 00:28:02.559 thing doesn't help I have to think about the lingo so much 00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:07.120 oh man I am sweating right 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:11.559 now like freaking sweating right 00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:15.120 now bad bump are you kidding me okay 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:17.440 that's a 5 minute 38 5 minutes 00:28:15.120 --> 00:28:22.720 38 well let's see how you did with the penalties am I done oh shoot I wasn't 00:28:19.840 --> 00:28:26.480 done no you're done you just need to it's the end of the rally you know you 00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:30.640 need to go up to the Marshall did I just stall I just stalled just driving 00:28:28.760 --> 00:28:34.679 in first what the heck happened okay just just floor it let the clutch go and 00:28:32.840 --> 00:28:41.039 get up to the guy this is not that hard okay they they did it for you okay 00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:44.559 penalty 17 seconds oh how' you do that 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:47.120 in 3 minutes something I I went a lot 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:51.640 faster than that well that felt really F seriously can you see how's my pitch 00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:57.039 doing there you go from a five minute race no no the point is just like okay 00:28:55.000 --> 00:29:00.480 oh yeah it's physically exhausting yeah in a way that no other game is 00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:05.360 physically exhausting like this is what a 600 WT motor it's like grabbing on you 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:09.240 like moving around you got even with the bolsters you got to hold yourself that 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:13.919 was fun though there's no way I could play for hours at a time though man 00:29:11.399 --> 00:29:17.720 that's crazy not that stage in this no question in my mind sponsorship or not 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:22.880 that was a ton of fun and if you're into rally racing oh yeah especially fun but 00:29:21.320 --> 00:29:27.600 the best way to experience it that's what we set out to answer and my tier 00:29:25.120 --> 00:29:32.480 list goes a little something like this wheel without force feedback bottom of 00:29:29.679 --> 00:29:37.679 the barrel terrible controller with any kind of vibration way above yeah so like 00:29:35.159 --> 00:29:42.960 this much above and then literally anything with force feedback in wheel 00:29:40.120 --> 00:29:48.360 it's like I don't know that much higher Y and then I'd say it's more fun with 00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:54.840 the better wheel but in terms of your capability to compete not that much no 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:58.640 so you're happy with your setup oh yeah for sure yeah I think most people would 00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:04.600 be too and EA would would be really happy if we mentioned that EA Sports WRC 00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:07.480 is out now for Xbox series X and S 00:30:04.600 --> 00:30:12.559 PlayStation 5 and PC with over 70 Vehicles
