My thoughs on this Early access version

This is just my opinion about the current state of the game

First the good things:

The new graphics are really good, this is the main change needed from GR1
I like the new handling and physics system despite it needs a lot of tweaks and improvements it has a lot of potential.
The new menus are really fresh, I like it
It keeps the soul from GR1

Some things missing in the user interface:

Lap time indicator ingame, for the player and for the IA cars...
Car status bar doesnt have a 100% reference so it is difficult to see how much are the tyre wear, fuel, damage... if the indicator is in the right (when you race with more than 4 cars) you can use the right border of the screen as this reference...
When you select the IA level you cannot see the number of the difficult, it is just a slide...
When you add IA cars would be cool that the cars would be the same as the player car by default

Handling related things:

I like the feeling of the cars but in some situations the handling is really weird specially with the formula at low speeds
When two cars hit each other there is no a crash itself... one car goes over the other... this is really weird in a side by side fight
The IA has really weird behaviour...

Graphics realated:

Overall performance and optimization is really bad
You cannot tune graphics at all, cannot disable smoke or shadows for example
Sometimes the cars generate a lot of smoke when burning tyres (specially when you have too much tyre wear)

Thanks for your feedback! Many of the things you've mentioned are on our list for improvements, and particularly the AI and some of the car physics will be addressed in the near future.

Saving players and AIs, and access to their stats, is also something that needs to come back. I think everyone who played Generally 1 created their own "rivals", with their own colors, names and specific skills.
