GOD IS BED posted:I think the emote you're looking for is Well I just asked on the forza forum and they said I have 30 days to redeem it. So I'm guessing that it just takes a while for the forza servers to realise i'm gold again and re-send all my junk. I thought it odd I had no club messages or rival reccomendations, my guess is that when it sorts itself out I'll get all my stuff re-sent to me.

Forza 5 needs to steal the screenshot and video uploading features of Halo Reach. That is by far the best system from any console game i've seen to date. So much easier and faster than FM4s.

SporkTSI posted:Direct upload to your Youtube account would be nice. That and longer video lengths. Halo Reach can render up to 2 minutes and does it through their own servers, so you don't have to tie up your Xbox 360. You just upload the section of the replay that you want, to the website. I believe its a paid service though for clips over 30 seconds, but I would have no issue with that since I take a lot of screenshots and use the video upload service in FM4 quite a bit.

All I want out of Forza's replays is a goddamn free camera. Being glued to a limited number of mostly lovely perspectives is terrible design.

Somewhere along the line after 2 came out (and everyone hated the replay angles) Dan stated that they disliked the results also, but freer/more realistic cams tended to expose holes in the world's geometry and other visual flaws, so they're restricted to angles where the game looks right. They have improved somewhat from 2/3. Maybe that'll be one of the main points of improvement of a next gen build, there's certainly a lot of replay enthusiasts after the way GT trained us all to enjoy them.

Earlier I was playing some Forza. Well, I got an invite on IRC so I fired up my Xbox manually, popped in the Forza disc (after having played DiRT3) and then switched on the wheel. I noticed that I'd left a controller plugged in, so when I started Forza it said my profile was already signed in. I forced a sign out and then used the wheel (since it was on controller port 2) to sign in. After signing in I went to the guide menu and accepted the invite I'd been sent, which was followed by the usual "select save device" rigmarole. The reason I'm detailing exactly what I did? Because in the three races I had, after all of the above, I had a very different steering experience to what I've had before. The wheel was in 450-degree mode and my inputs on the wheel were 1:1 with what was going on in the game. I had to actually cross hands when taking hairpin bends, and even regular bends on the tracks required significantly more steering input. It was perfectly linear and extremely smooth - I didn't spin out and could easily dial in opposite lock. A huge contrast compared to the weird sensitivity/mapping when playing with the wheel all other times. I switched off and tried replicating this, to no avail. I'll try again tomorrow to see if I have any luck. Has anybody else experienced this?

It would probably be on a traditional course to get more action and fun. I plan on having a separate Xbox to do the replay camera of my car to get a better shot of the action. Which leads me to this question: I have the new Xbox slim, would I be able to use a traditional 360 as a second monitor? Or do they have to be the same type and styles of Xboxes?

An Xbox is an Xbox. They all have the same specs, it's just hardware size that changes.

Just an update with my Child's Play Charity Race planning: I was chatting with a friend about my plan and he mentioned he has a friend at the Joilet Speedway that owns a garage, complete with living room, kitchen, simpit and race gear. Depending on how serious I can get with it, he knows he'll be down to let us use it because he is constantly inviting us out to the track and he loves loves loves Forza and iRacing. We're also sitting on about $100 in donations as well!

I bought a $99 Groupon to drive a Gallardo for an hour. It's this game's fault that I had to do this. Half of me feels ripped off, the other half can't goddamn wait. A bit of both halves worries that I won't fit in the car (6'3).

Its heaps of fun but yeah its over in like 10 minutes. I'd gladly pay $100 to drive a supercar for an hour.

I'm 6'2", and fit into a Countach and a Murcielago, so you should have no worries about a Gallardo, at least you will have normal doors Don't expect limo-style room, it is an Italian supercar, but you will fit. Enjoy the experience, and we will want a report. The noise is the best thing about a Lambo, and I say that without belittling the rest of the car. Nothing short of an F1 car sounds as good as a Lambo at redline. Flint Ironstag fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Jan 23, 2012 |

Counterpoint! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6D7S2rcyIQ And I can authoritatively say this, having spent many hours with the Lambo's V10 linked to my right foot. It has an outrageous bellow that's great for scaring kids and old people, but the Lexus (and Carrera GT) V10 has an intoxicating howl that makes it far nicer to listen to. Well, to me.

There was a video of an F40 Competizione a few years back, some dude unloading everything it had to offer on some track somewhere. It was the most testical rattling noise I'd ever heard.  The video disappeared.. there's still some F40 videos up but none of them are "the one" that I heard. Every once in a while I try to find it and come up empty. It is my quest to hear it again. Hans Stuck's BMW going around the Nurburgring is another great audio trip.

And I am finally back at college and ready for some more racing with the gooniest of people. Thanks to lack of regular computer access I am playing catch up with the thread. Just wondering, are you guys still doing the Wednesday night race? If so, what is up for this Wednesday? Oh, and the Velostar is loving awesome. Just thought I would throw that out there. It is like a modern civic hatchback. That being said, what the gently caress was up with that autovista? "This is the new Hyundai Velostar. It is made by Hyundai and is based off of rally experience. Excuse me." *Next two minutes are filled with the narrator sucking off some rally driver.* Seriously, I wanted to hear more about the Velostar, not some rally racer.

The sound in this game is great. Brutal and raw without being overdone and arcadey sounding. There are few greater visceral pleasures to be had in video gaming than driving from cockpit view a Maserati 300 S up the back straight at Lemans or Nurburgring at full chat with the amp at 11, your speakers blaring pure engine note awesomeness. The length of the gears in stock format are what really seal the deal for me, endless acceleration crescendo forever, until you lose the courage to keep your foot in for fear of another 170 mph sweeper on 60 year old bias-ply tires...

Getting back into Forza now that the holidays and Skyrim are done. I sent a request to AUGR, not sure who's approving those, but if you see one from BCRock please add me to the group. The new steering with the Fanatec PWTS is really loving difficult on 900 degrees... Slighly more manageable at 540, but re-learning how to drive is annoying.

Everyone can argue what the most musical best sounding race car is, but there is no argument over the most obnoxious tooth-shattering milk curdling racecar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81zhOQ5PvaE I wish they would include this car as a DLC. I wonder if perhaps Gran Turismo has some rights to it...
