Tonight!!! I had forgotten, thanks for that man. Edit: Had a very brief run on this last night, cars looks unbelievably good, superior to even GT5 imo, I don't know how they've managed this on the 360, can't wait to play it with my wheel once it's going.
Quick Race has 3 cars on offer to be raced on the Bernese Alps track in a 2 lap race, 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator, 2011 Subaru WRX STI, 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia. Rivals mode has 3 different Bernese Alps tracks: Round the Mountain in a Pagani Zonda C, Blitz Pass in a BMW F10 M5 where the traffic is slower and Alpine Rush in the Ferrari 458 which also has traffic on the road. All 3 modes is an Open Time Attack. Scine you can't turn the music of in the menus play one of your songs through the guide button then pause it. Now just need to get a wheel for the 360.
Downloading this now, will have a looky shortly. As for the pause music thingy, do you need a CD ripped to your HDD and play from that then pause??? Ok... Someone just posted on the WP forum... . make u sure u have music on ur hard drive or usb . start forza 4 demo . when game starts hit the xbox button on ur controller . go to media and select the drive ur music is stored on and hit play then pause . hit the xbox button on ur controller to exit back to the game and then enjoy the sound of car porn Gotta explain things for old farts like me...lmao
Guys add me to your friends list if you want to compare times in Rivals mode. Xbox 360 GT: Lateralus 01
Have d/l'd it, but it took forever last night, so not tried it yet. Pretty restricted taste of the game by the sounds of it. CJI anon666 is my xbl GT. Will have a look tonight and add you Darko.
I wish so bad my wheel was working, a couple of corners in the Zonda it's good to be able to trail brake but it's hard to do smoothly with a controller. I'll add you lads tonight, I tend to like competing with people on my friends list in this sort of thing, problem is Daveyskill's is on my list and he's no.1 in the Zonda atm, so can't really compete with him.
How good does that Zonda sound!!! Love it. As for the game, seems a bit dark to me (might close the blind on the window next to the telly and see if that helps). Tried my Xbox Wheel, and it just feels like crap after using Logitech products on the PS3 (G25 and now DF GT). I've gone back to controller for Forza and probably do the same once the full game comes out.
Show us some in-race screens! Better yet, Anon get your capture on so we can hear these awesome sounds too!
hmm.... 1st impressions, looks great, sounds great, drives like . Feels like I'm playing ridge racer after playing gt5... u tap the brakes even with abs on, it goes into a slide/lockup, and then just keeps sliding like i want to do some nfs underground drift score or some and all I want is it to grip again. Could be this track, as it is the alps and there is snow beside the road. This could be a factor. I mean it looks amazing and sounds like porn but.... Hopefully things improve, i always get my hopes up way to high for these things. I wasn't happy about gt5 at first but now i love it so I'm sure it will grow on me. *second run. better. But still bad understeer on sweeping turns and then violent oversteer, but that being said i've never driven a Zonda lol!
Had a quick go at the races and the rival mode events...verdict pending. @Koaster, I'll get some gameplay footage up when the real deal comes out. The zonda does sound good, but all the cars feel like they're at the edge of their grip potential constantly on this track. Been ages since I played F3, so I'm not able to gauge how different it may or may not be.
Smoking tyres also is pitiful compared to gt5, which shocks me tbh, I thought they would set out to destroy gt5's tire smoke engine (which is good imo). They havent' done anything with it, its like little puffs coming out, wtf? lol maybe full version is different? And also I couldn't get any exhaust pops outta the Cougar no matter how much i revved the outta it. I'd say this demo was made a long time ago, I have faith these things will be fixed/added in the full version, even though it comes out in like 9 days.
Trustfire, I can see what you mean in terms of tyre smoke, imo it's a small price to pay for having THE BEST looking car models in a game so far, but yeah, depends what you look for I guess. I'm assuming you guys are running with simulation car handling? I actually use normal with a control pad as it's much less painful, with a wheel I'd go for simulation, unless it's hotlap, in which case I'd go for whatever is faster, in any case, I've always preferred the handling model in Forza over GT, I dunno, I tend to come to grips with either after a bit, but Forza has always been easier for me to get back into. My god the rivals leaderboards are extremely competitive, obviously the fact it's a demo and theres not much else for people to do has them all hitting these 3 boards, makes for some very tough competition.
The models are amazing, yes, but we all get over/get used to the graphics pretty quickly. The little things are what give games longevity imo. Little oversights like that piss me off because they have spent all those hundreds of hours on this Autovista thing, and honestly I don't think this feature will be very interesting after about the first week. They should have spent more time on my damn smoke lol. Anyway, I'm gonna wait till the full version to give a proper verdict.
You wanted smoke :lol: [video]youtube.com/watch?v=W_yc0TI0JC0&feature=player_embedded[/video] [video]youtube.com/watch?v=jXMqW7uP8lE&feature=player_embedded[/video]
Yeah I can see what you mean, I suspect the fact that particle effects such as smoke tend to have a decent hit on frame rates might be why they haven't gone all out with it, IF that's the reason I can certainly appreciate that, as I'd rather have a nice 60fps than a bit of extra tyre smoke, if it's just out of pure laziness, or thinking that the tyre smoke was fine and knowing that we could have had smoke like in GT5 without sacrificing 60fps, then that's a bit ghey, haha.
I thought the demo was good. Love the physics. Really feel connected to the road and the car really seems to react to your steering input as I always felt the cars in FM3 were understeery (I use a pad though). That said, yes, you can now over correct and send the thing into the wall but its fun and challenging and better than FM3 IMO. Bring on next week!
