I went through the past Forza car lists and found all the Porsches, then cut out the duplicates. If I didn't gently caress something up, these are the 35 Porsches that have been seen in the Forza series so far:

I thought the new SC was in one of the DLC packs for Forza 3?

Also, the '82 and '87 Turbos are arguably duplicates, unless they made one of those a slantnose and I don't think they did.

Of course, with as in-depth as the various 'aero' options are, if when they put in a 930 and don't at least give heathens the option to put that hideous slantnose on, they're being lame.

Really? I heard from someone (Cubivore?) that 0-25 is the grind after that there is a sharp drop off in XP required for 26-50. If that's not the case that would suck because I've only just got them all to level 9 with a few exceptions where I've got them higher. At least it's good incentive to drive a variety of cats.

I'm Cubivore, and also yes I said that and it is right. I got it backwards in my post :v:

After level 25, I believe it is only 50k per level. If you want to poopsock it, you can just do a bunch of 50 lap benchmark A races to get to level 50. I think from 24 to 25 is something absurd like 200k.

Level 0-25 is 1.4 million EXP, IIRC, and then a million or so more from 25 to 50.

I loved all of these. They're so 90s and Japanesy, yet totally not what you'd expect in a racing game.

It's like they had a soundtrack for a new Streets of Rage game just lying around and used it as menu music in GT.

the best thing is that they changed the menu music for the eu/na release because they thought we wouldnt like the smooooth jazz. When I was a gay teen I ended up with the japanese version like a year before it got released in the uk and I couldnt get used to the other menu music.

It was fun figuring out what the hell you needed to do with the licences tho, I remember struggling with the first stopping test :v:

But to be fair they ended up using most of those tracks in the later games anyway.

Correct on both counts. I've added the DLC cars for FM2 and 3 marked with an asterisk. I thought they were in the lists I was using but apparently not.

The '82 was in FM2 and 3, the '87 was in the original. None of them are slantnoses so I added them to the possible dupe list since I'm too lazy to check how the numbers stack up between the two variants.

We'd be looking at very small horsepower differences between the two - the only substantial change I could find for the 930 during its lifetime was the addition of a five-speed gearbox during the final year of production in 1989.

I'm excited as gently caress for this new DLC, mostly for the Corvair. I've been playing a lot more Forza lately now that I got in a good solid playthrough on Deus Ex and I'm kinda bored with Skyrim even though I still haven't played the main plotline through yet. The Pinto is a mean little bastard of a car in almost any class, and the Alfa Spider with a supercharger makes for an awesome long-track F-class racer (ovals and Sebring). Plus it sounds awesome.

The Daedric quests are pretty much the only things that are really good in the game, and even then a couple are kinda poo poo. The main quest and the factions are all kinda bland and way too short (I finished the Companions in a single night in one sitting, like less than 3 hours).

At least it's still a lot better than Oblivion.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the hell out of it, but the story itself hasn't hooked me enough to finish it. Fallout 3 and New Vegas at least got me to care enough about the plotline to play the story all the way through, even when I'd been able to slay any/everything in my path without even trying for ages.

I don't dislike Skyrim. In fact, I like it a lot more than Oblivion and Fallout 3 because the exploration is pretty good and that's really important for a WRPG in my eyes. Hence why Morrowind is my favorite game ever, because the world was awesome enough to offset the flaws in the game; the quest lines were (mostly) pretty good too, which helped. Skyrim's biggest failing is the quests; they're terrible, but it doesn't stop me from getting lost in the wilderness for a few hours at a time.

Heh, looks fun. Is that (presumably user-created) road extremely slippery or are they just all terrible at driving? They can't seem to go around any corner faster than 11 mph without understeering off the road 400 yards.

rFactor is pretty ancient at this point, its one of those sims that use to subscribe to the belief that every car being slippery and having no traction = realistic.

Ahh, yes, now that you mention it that sounds familiar. I think I got a free demo disc for that (already rather elderly) game with my G25, was puzzled at how come I flew off every corner in even shitbox 50 hp cars at every speed so moved onto GTR 2/GT Legends. Drove about a million laps of the Top Gear Test Track in an original Mini and never looked back.

The good ol "It's impossible to drive therefore it's realistic :shepicide: " argument.

I wouldn't say it uses it outright, but there are a lot of situations where cars have a lot less grip than they should. Forza gets it pretty close to right. GT5 isn't even a relevant racing game anymore (if it ever was), so it doesn't matter.

Got the DLC pack, but no patch yet! I don't feel like playing until that patch hits.

In a lot of cases the driveability of a car in GT5 seems to be directly proportional to how cool Kaz thinks it is. Granted Turn 10 probably fudged the data on certain cars to make them more competitive, too.
