Why I asked if we keep our prizes since I did that too. Unfortunately gently caress your dreams you aren't getting a veyron to start.

Also I haven't done any forza online stuff but a ton of gran turismo online which I was near the top every race it seems. I think I can do well to start and improve.

Oh well, according to the Forza Hub I'm going to unlock a metric shitton of stuff anyways.

cars like the veyron almost always translate to people thinking "high stats = automatic win" which seems to usually be true

I never knew how badly I wanted puddles in a racing game before now.

Oddly I did a track day yesterday in the pouring rain and it was a ton of fun. Except for puddles. Those aren't fun at 120.

Do I need Xbox Live Gold to get the demo? When does the demo end?

I am really looking forward to this game because it looks like they addressed my biggest problem I had with 5 which was the car list.

Night time racing will be cool too.

Also I got my Xbox out in anticipation and found a copy of FH2 that I had forgotten so I am playing that too and its a fun game

edit: It appears I do not need Gold to get the demo. Finished all the updates and I seem to be downloading it now

I finally got a chance to play with the demo, and I'd certainly agree with the opinion that the physical effects of the water (not to mention the visuals) are really well done. Also, watching the drivatars hydroplane into things because they don't know to avoid the puddles is hilarious.

I'm also really liking the new tire physics for loss of grip. In Forza 5, the tires went from "plenty of grip" to "zero grip, there's the wall" with not a lot of transition in between (at least with a controller) and from what I've seen in the demo, the loss of traction is slightly more gradual now, so you have a better ability to "feel" exactly where the limits of the tires are in the game.

Stupid question, can I pre-order the super duper edition from the ms website? Also do they still let you pay with gift cards?

I remember it was a massive pain to remove creditcards from xbl accounts a few years ago.

Wheel chat:

I haven't really looked into wheel options sine FM5 came out and there basically weren't any BONE compatible wheels on the market.

After some cursory searching it seems like the main options are:
• Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider ($100ish) - no force feedback, plastic pedals, 240 degree rotation
• Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Italia ($300ish) - force feedback, metal pedals, 900deg. rotation, upgradable w/ shifter addons
• Logitech G920 ($400ish and not released until 10/14) - FF, metal pedals (including clutch), 900deg. rotation, upgradable shifter

I'm leaning towards the TM Italia. Is there a better choice?

Well yeah, most people only know Danger! High Voltage, Gay Bar and possibly Dance Commander (the singles from the first album, basically), and even then they might not realize those songs are by the same band. Electric Six kinda fell off the map after 2003, but they're still doing their thing and have released albums almost every year since then.

I've used their songs on my custom soundtracks since Forza 1 on the original xbox.

I have the Italia and it's great, I especially liked it with FH2. I can't wait to try it out for this game.

If Turn 10 doesn't release some of the better fictional tracks (maple valley, positano, Camino Viejo) from the earlier games as some sort of 10 years of Forza free DLC during the run of FM6 I'll be very surprised.

If Turn10/MS were smart, they'd throw an incredible amount of money to include Fury Road DLC cars. On that same note, create Road Kill DLC.

I just want the drag race mode from "Need for Speed: Pro street" copy pasted into the game. The rest of it was garbage, but i played the poo poo out of that mode.


I just want to stage and launch the car manually, with multiplayer. Thats all.

I have a feeling they just want to laser scan real tracks and be done with it. One flashy "showoff track" per new game (camino viejo, bernies, rio) that showcases whatever new graphics tech they put in the game and thats it. Making maple valley and new york again is too much work. I cant think of another reason they would release a new forza game without maple valley AND without fujimi kaido.

Why did they send him a copy. I'm sure there are a lot better suited people to showcase the game than that insufferable gently caress. "Check out my sweet golf R32" *camera pans to autotragic shifter*
