Not that it was a bad game, it just has literaly 0 replay value compared to FM4.The rally expansion was pretty good but it would have suited being in FM4 way better imho.

I'm actually not sure if we will see FM5 this year now, given the growing abundance of rumors regarding PGR5 being developed as a launch title for the next Xbox by Lucid Games and Rare. I can't see Microsoft having both PGR and Forza as launch titles since two first party racing games releasing alongside the console would be pretty silly when you think about it. Who knows though? The franchise has operated on a two year release schedule since it started so history dictates that they'll have the game out this year, unless Turn 10 takes an extra year of development time to compensate for transitioning to new hardware? Or maybe they'll release it for the Xbox 360 to take advantage of the larger install base (this is rumored to be Sony's tactic with Gran Turismo 6) and Microsoft will be cool enough to make the next Xbox backwards compatible? I'm sure we'll find out next month when Microsoft officially unveil the next Xbox.

Is FM5 a launch title for the next xbox? Because if so, I would predict it'll be pretty similar to FM4. They'll probably throw in some eye candy stuff, maybe the weather that everyone has a raging hardon for (for some dumb reason I can never understand), but given it'll be a new platform the real magic probably won't have shown up yet. FM6 is the one that will blow our pants off.

xzzy posted:Is FM5 a launch title for the next xbox? No one knows for sure, but Turn 10 said they're doing a new FM game every two years, so late 2013 would be when the next one hits. Given all the stuff Turn 10 was wanting to include (weather, day-night cycles) but couldn't due to hardware limitations and the 60 fps they shoot for, it would be doing FM5 a disservice to do another one on the 360 as it seems they've pushed the hardware pretty close to the limits already. A 720 release would be the next logical step, and the timing would put it pretty close to the 720's supposed launch.

I feel like Turn-10 is a bunch of silly gooses sometimes. They have two rival events today to celebrate the 12 hours of Sebring. The thing is the events run from the moment the race starts until it ends. Well I want to watch the race, I'm not going to be focused on wanting to play Forza today. T10 should have really considered making it a week long thing.

I pretty much try to race, but sometimes I bump people... but it's not too often that I even brake late and take someone out anymore. The only time I come close to trolling is when people wreck me, sometimes I bump them back. Don't get to much joy out of trolling people randomly.

Cool, you should think about plugging your mic in and talking to people. It makes for less hurt feelings, and often people are more than happy to talk about tuning cars, or boys, or how terrible that guy is.

It's motorsport, people Ok, Bentron dropping mother fuckin knowledge: THE CONE OF DEATH You are driving into a corner, you know there are retards behind you and they can't drive their cars, here's what you do: As you are driving into the corner imagine two lines, one where the car behind you just goes straight off and another where you think the car is going to break loose in the corner. I call the area between these two lines is the cone of death. It doesn't matter which side of the cone you are on, just so long as you are not in it. It takes a bit more patience to stay on the outside, but it's worth it to watch them dive off the track. If you are on the inside of the corner, he's just going to slide off behind you. Now, this isn't foolproof, and you may not have the option to go where you want to in heavy traffic, but keep it in mind and it'll help get you through some of the messes on the track. burtonos fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Mar 24, 2013 |

Where do you live? Their US distribution center is in Beverly Hills. I usually get things 1 or 2 days after I order since I live 5 miles away, so they're fairly quick about getting things outbound if they have the products in stock. They use either UPS 3 Day Select or Ground, (possibly?) depending on weight.

Yeah, I was concerned based on previous stories of horrible delays, but I've already received a tracking number and should have it next week apparently. Whatever issues they had in the past must have been resolved.

Yeah, previous issues were mostly down to demand far outstripping supply, and delays in production of new designs that had been pre-sold months and months previously - and then needing to wait 6 weeks for boats to arrive from China etc. All of that should not be an issue at this stage. They are a much smaller company than their presence might lead one to believe, as far as I can tell they've got about 10 employees in total. Enjoy your new wheel! And remember you're going to feel extremely awkward with it for at least the first 3 hours - needing to coordinate 4 limbs where before you only needed a couple opposable thumbs takes some getting used to. Pick a slower car in D or E and re-learn to drive and get your head around the new input device before jumping into faster stuff or you'll just be frustrated.

I currently have a MS wheel with a homebrew cockpit, so there won't be too much relearning going on, just better FFB, 900, and clutch actually being useful rather than just cheating it with that lovely button clutch feature.
