elfman Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I'll be getting xbl back when I get this tomorrow so will happily race Quote
Walbertonio Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Had a few goes of it and tried out the simulation handling; not sure if that was there in FM3? Either way, feels awesome now. Do agree it's a little odd that they lost out on the Porsche license? But some of the changes in the game especially lightning engine make it look sweet. Trying to wrestle an SLS around the Top Gear track with just ABS on is a nightmare with my fat fingers but hella fun! Quote
Keyser Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 think my copy is in the psot office Ahh u can get some practice in then mate Quote

Haven't had the practice yet though, so ill need a few hours. I work nights so on at random times.... add me, I will give you one guess for my Xbox Live Profile Just bought and installed it, im up for some racing. It was good fun racing wasso and darren-b in gt5 cant wait for forza as its a lot more fun than gt5. Im away this weekend but back monday and keen for some racing. Quote
cowie Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Bought it last night, WOW, think its miles better than F3, i'd have paid the money just for the top gear track and watching the replays of your lap Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Ok, so those with the new wireless wheel, what is it like? I'm gonna order the game for when I get back and Argos has got the game and wheel for £59 at the moment...Is it worth it? Quote
andlid Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 well the other option would be to hold your hands up and do it 'virtually', it states on it that it's a better experience with the kintect stuff btw.. Quote
Railgun Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 The wheel is ok pal. Not essential by any means, but fun. It is retro compatible (according to guy in Game), so if you can get a good price, sure, its fine. Certainly far more responsive than I was expecting! Quote
neo-ninja Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 They do have some beatles in the game, look up RUF. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruf_Automobile Quote
spursmaddave Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I went and got the new wireless wheel yesterday, its pretty good, takes some getting used to but quite responsive. I guess purists would sniff at it but if you dont have a permanent set up with a fixed wheel and pedals etc its ideal, kind of a step up from a wii wheel on Mario Kart! I found you can sit back comfy on the sofa and rest it on your lap quite comfy, ideal for the casual gamer! Quote
Railgun Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 They do have some beatles in the game, look up RUF. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruf_Automobile Yeah, I was sure I saw a GT3 in the opening race with the 458. Must have been an RUF! Quote
Chris`I Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Got my 370z nicely tuned now. S700 class, fully specced up and with a GTR engine Quote
Railgun Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Got my 370z nicely tuned now. S700 class, fully specced up and with a GTR engine Sheesh! Can you imagine that in RL! Hope springs eternal eh! Once I'm up to speed in the game, ill join you online! Quote
neo-ninja Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I get all mods free from Nissan, so now i have a LVL R1 GTR its pretty mad! And have an LVL S 240z with over 1000BHP Quote

I've been playing Forza 1,2 and 3 with the pad so would imagine it'll take some getting used to but wondered if it adds a little more realism without being much more difficult. Quote
Chesterfield Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Come on then, what are peoples "Star in a reasonably priced car" times? Name:.......................Time:..............Clean Lap: Chesterfield_________1:44:073_______Yes. Quote
Chris`I Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Where do I go to do that? Time to get the wheel out the loft Quote
maxi-glasgow Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Only got a small shot of it on Friday night once the missus went to bed... Still not took the steering wheel out the rapper, first shot I done with Kinect, my arms were getting sore before the end of it...But it's actually very good fun and good seeing the drivers hands turn on the wheel exactly as yours does. Started the career, bought a 350z, of course, and done the first 5 events. Last event was knocking down the pins at Top Gear track, needed something like 295,000 points to complete and most I could get was around 265k. Gave up in the huff One thing, before I started racing I went to the part where you can buy ready made paint jobs which people put on their marketplace, managed to get a decent one which cost no money but for the life of me can't see how I apply it...

Chesterfield Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Its in the "rivals" challenges from the "my club" menu if I recall correctly. You can check your friends times, or just go set one of your own and see where you are in the world rankings. Quote

Need to go dig out the XB live usernames thread now as I finally got the router moved to the living room and Xb and PS3 wired up properly Quote
maxi-glasgow Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Just brought the Xbox Gamertag thread to the top of the Off Topic Discussion so everyone can add their gamertags and add others to their friends list. Quote
