ForbiddenWonder posted:this is what I want: My old track bike hauler was a Caravan. 2.2L with manual trans and everything gutted except the driver's seat. I wholeheartedly approve of adding one to the game. Especially if they could figure out how to make the fake side paneling peel and flap in the wind.

Hooooly poo poo, I just "beat" Forza4. At level 69 (heh) too. I went through the uninspiring credits and thought "wonder whats next in world tour?" only for it to put me back to the start of it. gently caress yeah, I get to race cars I like again! Though to be fair, my last 2 races were in C-class using that massive caddy, it weighs ober 5 tonnes. Thats incredible and yet it doesn't even feel too big to drive! I can't wait to take it online and see if any pubbies try to push me off in this thing.

Take it into X Class Demolition Derby (aka quick match) and you'll get rammed into at least three times before you finish your first lap, no matter what you drive.

Though yeah its probly alot better than season play. Plus the AI can actually be a challange. You know, I remember when they announced that the AI cars could be fully upgraded to their class AND match your skill so that each race was challanging. Yet somehow it still ends up with 3 guys way ahead, 3 way behind and a bunch scattered around the middle. Hell in season mode I was doing a multiclass and beating 3/4 of the guys in the class above. I really don't understand what happened. speedtek posted:How many times did you let it go before you realized it was looping? Actually I realised I could manually scroll through with the right stick... I didn't know it looped though. I wonder how many times I did sit through it before mashing buttons to escape?

Aside from those random derp attacks, I can't really see what they supposedly changed with the AI. It's still oblivious, line hogging and unable to take a corner with any amount of aggression.

Not really. World Tour takes an event from the event list and changes its location to match wherever you are. So you aren't actually completing event list ratings, which makes world tour worthless.

Falken posted:True enough! However, if you practice and take risks when needed, you'll hopefully succeed. At the end of the day, your checkbook isn't going to take a hit if you run into another car in Forza. Well, your e-checkbook maybe. Your e-cred will take a hit though if you get a reputation for wiping people out.  It takes a long time to get competent racing in close quarters, it's much more reasonable to get good at the basics and work your way up.

It's also a good way to work on the psychological part of racing too. The longer you hang on someone's tail, the more they'll look in their rear mirrors at you waiting for you to pass, instead of looking at what's coming up ahead. Shadowing someone for a lap and rattling them into missing their braking point is also immensely satisfying because then the blame is all on them.

All I need to do is drive and let the guy in front of me take care of the rest. Works the majority of the time.

Is it true that the van has the beeping sound when backing up, like the trailer showed? Or was that just some sort of ultra tease, like i'm expecting?

Idiot race posted:I think thats more of an american thing, the rest of the world uses vans like americans would use pickup trucks and not to molest kids in. I don't think there's really analog that can be drawn. Pickup trucks might be used to move things some of the time. If someone moves you might throw a couch in a truck or if someone needs to move some object they just bought. But for the most part, a pickup truck is just a car for the people who own them. Some people just prefer trucks, some people might live in a region where if you don't have a truck you must be a gay or whatever and you aren't a man. Unless people in Europe actually buy vans because they are cool, I think the closest analog to vans in the US is a van, or a truck like you would rent from UHaul. Pickup trucks are a unique thing and are only really important to people who own them. I actually wish pickup trucks didn't exist. If I need to move something heavy, I can rent a truck. Any pickups on the road are usually to huge, jacked up and look retarded and take up too much space. The people who drive them usually don't know how, and definitely don't know how to park. Edit: Now that I think of it, I guess you can draw an analog between European vans and American trucks with laborers. People need to move their tools around. I'm ok with that, but personal ownership of pickups I am against.

This time of year vans get used in America to drop steel ladders in the middle of the freeway, because the guys who do cut-rate landscaping on the side can't bothered to buy another bungie cord.

Even those are rapist vans. You never see a new van. It's always some lovely rusted out van from the 90s with a ladder bungied to the top.

It's just the Ford Econoline litterally has not changed since 1985, so it's hard to tell just how old it is from the outside.

I once saw a Cadillac Escalade EXT with a bed full of all sorts of construction poo poo and dents and dings all over the body and it was also covered in mud. I gave that driver two thumbs up. But yeah, how are those guys getting the pack early such that they can create liveries for the Transit? Is that a VIP thing or something?

Probably advance codes that were given out at the Game With Devs event they did on the 26th. At least I think they gave out some codes, along with unicorn cars and whatnot.
