Codemasters pushed the boundaries with the racing driver: the grid, continuing to do so with the newest incarnation. The biggest component of this is the introduction of the “TrueFeel Handling System,” a core feature that promises to combine true-to-life physics with each individual type of car.
To realize the marriage of physics and gameplay, Codemas masters used professional drivers on real-life courses. Detailed notes and measurements were taken on each vehicle type, including speed, maneuverability, cornering, turning, etc. This was in effort to duplicate as accurately as possible the character of each vehicle, so that players would actually feel like they were driving, for example, a spec Nissan GT-R, rather than some dumbed down computer model.
After these results were compiled, they were examined to see if any of the vehicles had any sort of “game blocking” attribute such that it would make the car much less likely to be race-worthy. These have been adjusted accordingly, with every effort made to preserve the character of the car.
