Why we care so much about how cars feel in games

You don't have to be playing a serious racing simulation to notice when something feels wrong with a virtual car.

Maybe it changes direction too quickly, or slides in a way that doesn't quite make sense. Even in games where driving is only one part of a much bigger experience, players can have surprisingly strong opinions about how the cars behave.

If you have real-world driving experience, you have spent hundreds or thousands of hours learning how a car behaves without consciously studying it.

You expect the body to move when you change direction. You understand that braking shifts weight forwards, that accelerating shifts it backwards, and that a heavy vehicle shouldn't suddenly change direction like a lightweight sports car.
