I have started a Google Drive Document to keep track of everyone who is down to join the Forza Horizon 2 Neowin Club.

 

Click Here to access the document and add your name to the list.

We can figure out who will actually put the club together in a few days once we have the names of everyone who is down.

Since you guys were umming and ahhing over an official topic, I decided to merge a few of the most recent topics into one :P

 

DL is taking care of the club sign ups by the looks of it. Someone still needs to put it together & send out invites.

 

I'll beef up the OP when I get time.

I just preordered the rich people edition with the car pass but I wont get to play until Friday. Hopefully being a Forza veteran will net me some bonus credits.

 

I got some old pay and got the 99 version to... 

I'm in the UK so won't be able to play till Friday but down for some races.

Put myself on the document.

 

Shadow of Mordor on friday as well! Good week for gaming.

 

When is the actual launch day ? US and EU ?

 

since my console is still set to US, but I was thinking ot changing it since I was considering renting some movies on xbox video, and that one uses my account and says I can't rent with my xbox location :p like the old 360 ui it also auto displays everythgin in Norwegian wich is annoying when every language setting is set to English.

Just watched the 20 min gameplay video from further up and it has me even more excited. 

 

Never really been a fan on racing games online portion but I will definitely be partaking for this game.

Can't wait, wonder how Bestbuy handles preorders and pickups.

Youll get an email from them saying when it is ready for pick up. Usually the night before they send it.

 

So someone else is definitely going to have to set up the club once the game is released as I am not sure I will have the game tomorrow. I ordered directly from MS since they had a deal for a $10 Live gift-card, and I just got the email this morning at 6AM it has shipped, but no indication of shipping speed. Good news is when I have ordered from the MS Store in the past it usually comes quick, however there is no indication in this email if I am going release day delivery, etc., so just not sure I will have the game tomorrow or not.

Ha!  That's why mine is preloaded and waiting on my hard drive for the magic hour...  :fun:

 

I don't mind setting up the club but I wonder about its "leadership."  I don't know if the person that sets it up is considered the leader or can hand it off to someone else...

Yep, I did get an email from them saying it'll be ready for pick up tomorrow. It's the first game I have pre-ordered for a console. When you join a club, do you need Live Gold? I don't really play online, but it'd be nice to get into that.

You probably won't need Gold to join a car club, but to get the most out of it and get involved with the online events, a Gold sub is a must.

The only games I have gone digital this generation are DriveClub and The Evil Within. DC was $49 and The Evil Within was $53. And the only reason I went with them is I still had credit sitting in my Sony account from gift cards from last Xmas and there was a decent enough savings when doing so.

Otherwise I will always stick to the retail version. Always better deals, and more importantly I can always trade them in, which I do quite often.

With that said, this is one game I probably should have gone digital, but that $10 gift card was too good to pass up.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
