While it is by no means as nuanced as real-world motorbike engineering, it most certainly comes close to the overall real-world experience. Instead, it simulates both the riding experience and that of dealing with the detailed maintenance when off the track. Thus RiMS Racing allows gamers to go in far beyond just tweaking things like stopping power, deflating or inflating tires, and raising or lowering the chassis. RaceWard, a small development studio comprised of Milestone S.r.l. veterans, has chosen to double down on all aspects of motorbike racing – including the tuning and engine portions of the experience. Similarly, WRCgives players a nuanced view into managing a team and going through a calendar filled to the brim with events, but the most players can do for their vehicles is to fix them between rounds. After all, players cannot build up and tweak those engines to race with afterwards.
While games like Car Mechanic most certainly exist, they remain fairly one-sided. This is what RiMS Racing attempts to do, and it does so with grace and immense satisfaction. With that said, only a small handful of these games, including the plethora of wonderful sim racers not mentioned, actually let players take a deeper dive into the nitty-gritty aspects of racing.
RIMS RACING PS4 REVIEW SIMULATOR
The long-running MXGP and MotoGP franchises have also been the king and queens of the motorbike racing simulator genre for quite some time. Games like Steep offer extreme skiing simulations, whilst Dirt Rally focuses on, well, the ‘dirt rally’ experience. Multiplayer fans also have some options here with the usual option to pit yourself against some of the very best players around the world as well as an online challenge mode to see how you fare against others.Simulator fans, racing or otherwise, have been taken care of quite nicely over the last few years. Race options are the usual selection we come to expect from racing games, a career mode to work your way up, earn money and improve your bike as well as the usual single player races up against the AI which I will quickly mention is actually very good and provides a more than worthy challenge. Luckily there is ways round this by getting team credits and with enough there is options to have the mounting and unmounting done for you as well as simple pitstops, downside to using team credits here is you will miss out elsewhere like getting extra credits in the races for example. The inputs require you to perform a sequence of button inputs on the controller like spinning the right analogue stick for example and this will change a part and then pressing a set button and then holding a direction on the controller, it gets boring pretty fast as you can imagine. One gripe I have had with RiMS is the button input system they use, it’s used for things like pit stops and changing opponents. Framerates didn’t drop in the time we spent on RiMS and it has to be said the visuals are up their with some of the best racers out there.
RIMS RACING PS4 REVIEW SERIES
Visuals on the Series X were fantastic and performance was equally as solid throughout. A racing line indicator is a beneficial tool to try and guide you on speed and cornering but going into corners with the slightest bit of extra speed can lead to your rider and bike flying off the track and out of the race as catching up after a crash is pretty difficult. There are multiple assists that can be tweaked to suit your riding style but practice is going to be the best way to improve and it will take time to perfect and get used to the way the bike handles round the bends. Ok so the most important question is how does RiMS perform on the track? Simple answer is very well! Be warned the learning curve as with Ride 4 is pretty steep but once you get the hang of it the racing really begins. No unlocking better parts its all on offer from the start but you won’t just be able to go and max the bike out straight away due to the cost of the parts so the hard work on the track will be needed to get the very parts parts for your pride and joy. The bike itself can be stripped down to over 45 different parts and from here you will have access to over 500 different aftermarket parts, with everything being available straight away. Starting your career the first bike is on the house and won’t cost a penny but from then on the hard work starts as you will need to win races to earn money to get hold of some of the upgrades on offer.
