Yandards 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Damn that's a good car list, plenty I want to drive.. Pre-ordered the collectors edition with VIP membership so that's another 10 cars and an extra one as I got it from Game Station. Even bought a steering wheel complete with a 3 pedal box although I don't get that until November :( I am hoping you can set-up racing leagues between friends, we could have a CF corrado cup series!

Yandards 0 Posted October 10, 2009 i think i will be spending a bit more time racing online with this game. did i hear right that there will be a clutch function? There is, its in the demo, just head into the 'aids' menu, go down to shift option and you get auto, manual and maual with clutch. Not tried it on a gamepad as it will be wierd but have managed to track down a wheel and pedal combo that comes with a clutch for the 360. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but its not cheap and the last batch is not delivered until November, should be a pedal set for life and not just for Christmas though... here Make sure you get a wheel specced for the 360 though as some are not. I went mental with the 911 Turbo S clubsport edition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattnorgrove 0 Posted October 11, 2009 D/L'd the demo this afternoon. It's awesome, haven't been this keen on a new game for a good while. The clutch sounds interesting, will have to try that out. A CF league would be a great idea, with everyone in evenly specced C's of course The 3 pedal setup sound awesome, how much for the spec you've had Yan, if you don't mind me asking?

Rob_B 0 Posted October 12, 2009 the wheel set up looks the biz! not quite in my price range though :( stick with the gamepad for the moment me thinks. will try the clutch function tonight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted October 12, 2009 A CF league would be a great idea, with everyone in evenly specced C's of course That'd be cool - maybe we could allow a little tuning but limit the car 'score' to a certain amount to ensure we're all of a similar level of specification / tune... I must go get this ordered! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must go get this ordered! I get the impression this is possible, there are certainly single car only race series options, will find out in another 9 days (not that I am counting or anything). Managing to shave some time off my hot laps on the demo by going for manual cars, although the 4wd cars are easier to put the power down with - strange that :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Got the full game in the post this morning thanks to the threat of strike action by the posties! It's bloody brilliant, just bought a 'rado but not driven it yet, shame it the American spec 2.8l car.. It all looks amazing and the racing is so much more fun with all the driving aids off bar the ABS and braking zone warning line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Storm 0 Posted October 20, 2009 I've just spoken to Amazon and they said that they didn't know when it would be dispatched as it is being sent out from an outside supplier. They said that since its Friday release it would more then likely get to me for Monday/Tuesday!!! :mad2: :censored: :censored: I've cancelled the order and reserved it at Game for Friday pickup as i got a day off work :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_B 0 Posted October 20, 2009 my account says it will be dispatched on thursday for friday delivery, hence why i pre ordered it :shrug: looks like amazon will get an earful too! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted October 21, 2009 just had a 'free play' with the Veyron on an oval style track - its mentally quick in under 10s I was over 250ft clear of the nearest car and they were R3 class motors. Nice and stable at 225mph with all the aids off bar ABS and braking line. Didn't even try the brakes!! Just going to do a 1/2 mile drag :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted October 21, 2009 How does the Veyron sound in-game compared to on video clips from YouTube, etc.. is it any good? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted October 22, 2009 How does the Veyron sound in-game compared to on video clips from YouTube, etc.. is it any good? Not too sure about the audio, although some of the circuits have tunnel sections in them and then everything I have driven sounds brilliant. Had a quick comparison drive with the Veyron around the demo circuit last night, only managed to get it into 3rd gear on the long run down the hill.. If I had to pick an area where they have not gone all out it would have to be the engine noise, although given the level of detail in the car models, ancilliary centre console gauges in the Corrado for instance, it would be a crazy amount of data if you start putting unique exhaust notes in for every car. Did some point to point stuff last night too, it's mental as the series is a V8 engine restriction one, bloody narrow streets and tight turns, good fun :D Not looked at the multiplayer aspect of game yet, I still think it will be possible to run a Corrado only series and maybe give some light tunning options so you could say either do engine upgrades or handling but not both - probably have to have everyone in the series as friends though, do the race one evening, stick the results up here and then the next race date.

Jim 2 Posted October 22, 2009 I will go out on Friday evening and pick up a copy, definitely - so will be looking for you online if you're about that evening Yan! Regarding sounds, even if they're not 100%, as long as they're as good as they were in Forza 2 I'll be happy.. I'd been playing Test Drive Unlimited for about a year prior to getting Forza and the difference was night and day - Forza sounds spectacular compared and is at least as good (if not better) than Gran Turismo..
