The more I think of it, the better this sounds. Once there's only 1 person who can move more than 10 MPH, race is over, he wins.

Alright, someone was asking about install size earlier. With all the DLC, Disc 2 installed and a game install it weighs in at 11GB. 7.6 GB of that is the game install, so Disc 2 + DLC is right around 3.4GB.

Picked up a copy of the LCE as a joint present for myself and my dad (Christmas  ). We each have our own 360, but he doesn't have an Xbox Live account whereas I do. How would I go about getting the various DLC codes on both consoles? I think I'd be able to just claim the codes on my account/console, recover my gamertag on the other console and download them there, but I'm not sure if that would allow you to utilize the DLC while on an offline/standard profile (that is, not just my gamertag's profile with the ethernet cord unplugged).Would there be any way to do this? Worst case scenario I can just do a license transfer to his console since mine is always online but if that's not necessary then I would prefer to avoid it.

Powershift posted:dlc can only be played with on the console it was downloaded to while offline Right, that's because there's a license applied to the console it's downloaded to (XBLA games do this too, if you try to play them offline on a console other than your original purchase/download). So a license transfer should work then, and if not welp I tried.

you can only do 1 licence transfer per 12 month period, and i'm fairly sure it's all or none.

GentlemanofLeisure posted:How much does the full install cut down on loading times? I didn't do a before/after comparison, but I can tell you this: in FM3 when you load your game at the start, it takes like a minute. Loading your game in FM4 takes 10 seconds tops. Also  Sigma One and I have set up the GTCC car club. It's called Goons in Saloons. And the tag, obviously, is GTCC.

Anyone else having problems importing their FM3 profiles? I never got the pop-up that I was supposed to, and I think it's because I changed my gamertag.

1 car club at a time. 100 people per club. Gamer tags must be the same across games to import and at least driver level 1.

Hey, cool. Importing vinyl groups also imports ones that you purchased, not just ones you made yourself. Might have to go boot up FM3 one more time and drain the rest of my credits there on a massive spending spree.

I know this thread is in it's great game was just-released afterglow and all that, so a question like this may get buried in the anticipatory posts , but... As a huge Gran Turismo fan, would this game be worth picking up? I've not really been following this game and I'm curious to know what gameplay similarities it shares with GT5. Is FM4 more arcade-oriented? Is it a pseudo-simulator like the GT series? How are the controls similar? If somebody has an article that goes into it I would love to read it. It looks pretty great, but I've never played FM3 even, as it seemed to be oriented towards people wanting to drive $500,000+ supercars around racetracks rather than souping up a '94 Acura and driving it through a circuit that only allows 90s japanese autos.

Hello Spaceman posted:Can't have just any old shitlords joining Got it, thanks! I should be more active online than I'd been recently. My work schedule has finally stabilized. The Kinect head tracking is bullshit so far. I haven't figured out a proper tune for it, which keeps changing every time I get up and sit back down, and the giant re-center message that appears at the bottom every time my head nudges a millimeter out of frame is distracting as hell. The screen tilt is very minimal anyway.

Doctor Butts posted:I'm poo poo at sim racing so kinda intimidated playing in a Goon Car club. Unless there's a "we're really lovely" goon car club. Unless you can be a part of more than one. Same here. We should have a NoobGoons club or something because I sure as hell don't need to be taking up one of 100 slots in a club that's got people ranking in the top 10%. Is there any split screen 2-player options available? I got a Fanatec wheel on a UPS truck heading this way and I still have my old but near mint Microsoft Wireless wheel. 2 wheels, 2 sets of pedals, and a 44" OLED flatscreen would make for some fun in-house racing.

I figured it was deeper than that, which is why I said it just seemed oriented more towards the supercar fanatics. Not that there's anything wrong with that! I just remember the car list being dominated by those types, and a lot of decals on cars in the screenshots.

Would also love some info on the BB code for the 1M since I can't seem to figure it out. Also while I'm at it an invite to the GTCC would be appreciated and I'll go ahead and add myself to that spreadsheet. Never really got in to online play in Forza 1-3 but I loved it in PGR back when I played that so it's about time I join you guys. I apologize in advance for my mediocrity but I plan on picking up a Fanatec wheel to replace my busted MS wheel in the new year at which point I'll finally be able to ween myself off the last assists I still use ("Normal" steering, manual w/o clutch) On a similar note is there no longer an option to set AI difficulty? What's the deal with AI this time around anyway? GT: AdamH1mself e. I'm also really glad they finally added a Mk III VR6 even if it reminds me what a terrible decision I made when I sold mine

Anyone have a spare 1M code they'd like to swap for a Subaru? Best Buy decided to cancel my order this morning without sending me an email and despite charging my card last week sometime. I only noticed it was canceled because I went to check the order status and saw that they changed the price to $0.00.

I would call Forza 4 a full sim and not very arcadey. However, I love games like Burnout: Paradise. My friend has Forza III and in that game you can only join certain races/circuits/seasons depending on the car and its rating. Like, one could be a "Hey, loving Norway, Right?" tour where you can only drive C class Dodge Neons with yellow wheels. You can do multiple seasons at once, if you've got the car, I think You can change the tires, grip, transmission, blabbity blah, thisity that. Change tire pressure, camber, I think even the gear ratios and other horse poo poo. You can soup up your car with general and car specific parts. Some parts give your car 4 wheel drive, or a corvette engine, or some brembo brakes or some poo poo. Doctor Butts fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Oct 11, 2011 |

Event types in FM4: * Many, many manufacturer races, both for entire brands and specific models * Body style specific races (superemini, sport coupe, truck, SUV, etc) * Engine specific races ranging from 3 cylinder and hybrids up to V-12s * Class specific tours in various world regions * Top Gear Bowling * Multi-class events * One on one races down Fujimi Kaido, with traffic * Car-specific oval track racing (trans-am, Hemi, Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge, etc) * Autocross events * Track days * Nurburgring 1 on 1, with traffic * GT/LMP multiclass events * World championships And that's just the stuff listed in the Event List. Close to 400 seperate events there, so yeah there's a lot of room for both high-dollar race cars on big tracks and jacked up road rats on small courses. E: Oh yeah, and Rivals mode has a shitload of challenges in it that will likely make using a wider variety of cars viable too. BlazeKinser fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Oct 11, 2011 |
