people will buy anything off the auction house regardless of price, huh? I've been making decent money by throwing some ( free ) upgrades and a racing stripe on a car and auctioning it off with a buyout that's 200% of its 'new' value.

Falken posted:Death Chicane course reminded me of some kind of alternate reality urban Monza. Monza was on the list of Laser scanned tracks Forza Central managed to get before it was pulled off the laser scan companies website. So fingers crossed. I'd be shocked if they didn't get Red Bull Ring at some stage as well since the A1 Ring was in FM1. Probably as DLC, but still, that was fun as gently caress in FM1.

Why did they kill this off in FM3? I really liked having it there. Falken fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Sep 8, 2013 |

Alpine Ring has a really similar starting uphill corner to Remus in the A1/RB Ring which is probably why I got confused (And I remember playing A1 a lot in F1 WGP on the N64 so it blurred in my head). But considering the original tracks in FM1 were mish-mashes of some of the best tracks in the world, I'm not surprised

I've started working on my goal of getting top 1000 times on every track in every class again. I'm partway through E class now, with all of F Class done, with one exception. My current thoughts on this project: -gently caress the Chevy Spark, this thing is stupid and I can't wait to get to D class and ditch this thing -The Smart, 510 and C1 are the only ways I stayed sane in F Class -gently caress Silverstone, it's even more boring to drive in slow cars -gently caress Positano even harder, none of the fast lines on that track make a goddamn bit of sense to me -Breaking into the top 300 on any given track is always a nice feeling -The Vandura being a leaderboard car in F makes me indescribably happy

I suspect most people don't want to drop 900k CR on the #23 GT3 Cup for the monthly ALMS Rivals at Sedona dealie, so I put mine in the AUGR garage.

I'm probably going to keep moving up a class at a time. Part of why I'm doing this is because I want to get better, and I feel that driving each track in successively slightly faster cars will be a good way to better learn exactly the lines to take. It won't help with my problem of getting nervous and messing up when another car is near me (or just slowing down and letting them past rather than put in the effort of racing them), but, baby steps! I also switched to racing ghosts instead of doing races vs. the AI, because I am way faster doing that, even if it isn't a particularly fast ghost. Also, I couldn't even get within a second of your F Class Positano time. That track baffles me

Sometimes if I get stuck looking for time, watching a ghost of one of the top leaderboard laps helps a lot.

If you apply to join AUGR post your gamertag here so I know who it is. I've got to kick out people whenever new people apply to join so I wanna make sure it's people from the forums and not randoms.

I hate to say it, since I've been a fan of Forza since the demo for the first game came out (on a disc!), but I think I may end up going with whichever game will support my Fanatec, which 99% likely means GT6. I also have a tradition of buying the Sony consoles after they come out with a Slim version, so I guess it's about time I bought one of those anyway. I really like the idea of Forza 5 though. I've never missed a drat Forza game. But buying a new console AND a fancypants wheel that may or may not work with my Racing Coffin? Stupid Games.

After a 2 and a half hour session with the wheel I really screwed up my neck for a week. That was the third time I messed up my back or neck with the wheel, so that and the news that the wheels are probably not going to work with the One got me to try playing with a controller and I've played that way now for the past couple weeks. It's still fun, and doesn't hurt me so I sold the whole wheel setup on Craigslist for almost what I paid for it a year and a half ago. Overall I'm pretty happy and the money I got for it is paying for the xbone and some games (fm5 of course)

Edit: Motsew, you're in. ALSO whenever I let a new person in, I kick someone out to keep the club at 99 members. If the club is at 100 members, it won't let anyone request to join and gives them a club is full message. If I kick you out of the club and you want back in, just reapply and I'll add you. I try to just kick people I haven't seen on in a while but it's hard to keep up with everyone. GentlemanofLeisure fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Sep 16, 2013 |

Not a new trailer as such. But they put the commercial up for the game. It's pretty neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5fiJ49-o_8 Now if only they would show Spa and Bathurst already. Or at least some news for TGS. Just say Suzuka's back and show the Nissan Delta Wing if they have it. I just want news.

I played it at the Tokyo Game Show a few times today. It's.... Forza I guess, not much has changed honestly, not like that's really a bad thing. As for graphics, the IQ is better running at 1080p, but there's a lot of dithering going on and the AA is very mild, so it's not the huge, gigantic, revolutionary leap that I was sort of expecting. Frankly the cars and lighting don't really look any better than Foza 4 did. They only had Laguna Seca in the demo, and there's been a lot of upgrades to trackside detail, I'll give them credit for that. I'd like to see Prague or Spa to know what a "built for Xbone" track is like, rather than what I can only assume is an upgraded Forza 4 track. The real change will be in how the game feels for controller folks. The trigger feedback MS has put in is an absolute game changer for Forza. You can feel precisely when the gas is breaking traction, and exactly when you're pushing the brakes too much, directly through the triggers. It's very easy to find the sweet spot for both acceleration and braking now. Last note: they've modified the FOVs again. The sense of speed and how wide the track is feels a bit different, the game feels slower, and the tracks seem "compressed" distance wise. The visual distance between turns/etc seems to be closer, at least on Laguna. The corkscrew feels much tighter.

Ok so as most of you know I more or less run the Penny Arcade [PA] Club and for years now (I guess the first was about 6 months after FM3 came out) we've been running our intraclub tournaments, named the tongue-in-cheek Serious Business Cup (SBC). They usually last a month or two and have a general theme. Some have pretty loose regulations and format (for example we just finished a 2 week Hot Hatch mini-series with short races, no qualifying etc.) Some have been a bit more structured, for example the last major one, SBC '13 Season 3 which you can see the details of here. I've verbally invited the few goons who race with us and they've been participating for a few months now. But I've never directly posted about it here for one reason: I have no loving idea what we'd have done if more than 16 people show up (we usually have 10-14ish most weeks). Having more than 16 was problematic since theres points to be earned and most seasons have had some form of qualifying to set the grid order. The upcoming season has sort of a mixed format. There will be no qualifying, just a random grid order and two ~25 minute races per race night. We race at 9PM EST on thursdays. tldr: everyone is welcome to sign up for Serious Business Cup 2013 Season 4: World Saloon Championship.

I wish that Turn 10 were more transparent about their games and what content they will feature, since I'm really keen to know what tracks will be in the game when it launches. Prague looks like a really fun track, and confirmation that Spa and Mount Panorama will be in the game is also excellent, but will old tracks such as Maple Valley, Bernese Alps and Camino Viejo return? The Forza forums have a thread detailing what's known about the game so far, with claims that Indianapolis will apparently be returning and Monza will be one of the new tracks in the game.

Maple Valley is a staple of the series, there's no way it doesn't come back. I also can't see them dropping Camino Viejo or Bernese Alps; Camino is generally a very well-liked track, and Alps is good and also brand new. If I were to hazard a guess as to what tracks would most likely be dropped, I'd say Positano would be at or near the top of the list, and Sedona is also likely to be dropped over most anything else. I can't see any real-world tracks going away, as much as I'd love to see Motegi go the way of Le Mans Bugatti. Bonus: maybe they drop some tracks only to bring them back as DLC. It wouldn't be the first time. DEEP STATE PLOT fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Sep 24, 2013 |
