that was almost a sexual encounter!

Finally a new racing game (sorry FM, you still have a special place in my heart.) to be excited about.

PzR G-Stick · 30-07-2010, 01:23 PM

That looks special. I've never really liked games that have the off-track side of your career included... but that seems barable and accurate to what you see on the TV each sunday. Good times. The replay camera's looked great

ValiantSaint · 30-07-2010, 03:44 PM

Good stuff. I still have a fear that the frame rate will be dire for some unknown reason.......

*i've just had a crisis*

ValiantSaint · 31-07-2010, 10:07 PM

I have just pre-ordered this for £31.98 at Shopto.net (including 1st class recorded delivery)

likewise the other day - cannot wait!!

Enzo Smithers · 01-08-2010, 12:43 AM

likewise, intensely looking forward to this, hoping for something akin to the formula 3000 handling in Race Pro, but with those stunning visuals and real world weather systems.

Cannot simply wait for my first flying lap around Spa Francochamp !!

scuppy182 · 01-08-2010, 03:23 PM

what teams are you guys all looking forward to racing for first in the single player mode?

they mentioned it would depend on your difficulty setting so i don't know what you can choose from but i'd like to race for Lotus or Force India in my first year =)

Indeed..
I doubt you will be able to jump straight into a big team in the career mode. Looking forward to working my way up throug the ranks.

I erally do hope however it isnt like f1: Championship Edition for ps3 and automatically retires you after 5 seasons IIRC..

well in the dev 5 video they said depending on your difficulty settings, so if you have all assists on and easy AI you might be able to race for Merc, McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull but i don't know.

i'd like to think i'd have all assists off except for ABS as i have never been able to master that one in Forza and will see what its like with regards to the AI. in forza hard is pretty easy to beat as they're so pathetic under braking.

Mylez Rulez · 01-08-2010, 04:18 PM

can anyone recoment shopto.net? prices look great, but the general website design/look makes me feel uneasy

XxLorddalronxX · 01-08-2010, 04:21 PM

Come to think of it, when playing F1:CE there was a chance early on to get into Mclaren and Ferrari but a real good, clean lap was needed to what i thought was damn near impossible but after playing Forza3 for so long now, the lesser the asisst you have etc, the faster you can go.

Will probably go down the same line myself, get used to it from day one..

i bought my xbox 360 from them, got it next day via tnt i think it was a few years ago,

i've bought, UFC, Forza (got a week early due to mail strikes via UK Mail), Skate 2, Guitar hero world tour with band etc and guitar hero 5, dirt 2 with bonus dvd & tiger woods 09 all at lower prices than competitors.

never had a game come late or anything. now i always use them even for xbox live points as they're super fast and even cheaper than those websites that sell cheap points LOL.

Thanks....will sign and pre-order today

XxLorddalronxX · 01-08-2010, 04:36 PM

Hopefully i'll get it a few days early like i did with Forza from a mate

You do have to watch with some of the games that ShopTo supply aren't always meant for the UK market (This will be on listed on their website) I bought Army Of Two from them for the 360 and it was a copy meant for Sweden and Norway (I think!)

oh really?

wasn't aware of that but having a quick peak all my manuals are in English and those that have the options when loading up you just pick the Union Jack

Achievements, one or two rather hard ones.

Mylez Rulez · 04-08-2010, 03:41 PM

ouch.....leveling up online??

good find.

shame that there is a merc/ger & ferrari/monza but none of the other teams/silverstone.

anyone know if the new silverstone circuit layout will be in the game?

Yes it will, has to be as part of the licence I think.

Interestingly with rumours that Korea is not going to be ready in time. We could have a situation where a track appears in the game that is not present in this years championship.

You read what slim said wrong buddy...!

My fear is that online racing will be one car racing... what i love about forza is the variety of cars... Do people think they will race all cars or not? Or will Red Bull just be dominant?

im hoping that you cant choose the car, instead anyone who is randonly in a Red Bull starts at the back and lotus etc. at the front

I wondered the same thing. I wouldn't mind if everyone had Red Bull's online, because when you win, at least you'd win by being the best driver, rather than winning because your car is 6 seconds a lap faster than a HRT.

Mylez Rulez · 04-08-2010, 05:30 PM

Also I think there is a lot of team aliengences thoughout europe. I can see you German cousins choosing Mercedies and the italians Ferrari. I will be racing Williams.

Jam · 04-08-2010, 05:30 PM

Well you can set all cars to equal performance, so the only difference is the appearance.

FTW Tom · 04-08-2010, 05:43 PM

But wheres the fun in that Jam? Maybe if you had to develop your own car for online you could have some good racing? With people focusing Mclaren for speed with their engines and Red Bulls for the extra Aero?

ha, just re-read it, no idea what i read first time around.

IIRC aren't all the cars very similar, its just if you're in a mclaren or ferrari its easier to hit the apex's that say a lotus. could be wrong though.
