I created the club. Its set to open for all for now, guess we'll change to friends later when we're a few people so most are friends with someone in the club or something.

 

Hmmm I can change everything but the tag... guess the tag will be Neo then or we'll need to remake if you guys want another tag.


Invited some of you who I know are neowin people.


Or not, I get user cannot be found on you all, probably you need to have played the game I guess.

Damn, I should've started up the game before I left for work this morning.

Don't worry, unless it's different if you're invited, you have to play for quite a while before you can join/start a club. you need to go through the whole video and stuff from the demo(though not offroad this time) , then there's a road trip to another section for another championship, and another road trip for another championship and then a road trip back to start. then you're at the part where you can do whatever you want.

Don't rule out Project CARS it looks awesome.

By the current look of pCars, they need at least 2-3 more years to polish this game up.  It's insanely buggy and messy even now.

The graphics looks nice, but literally everything else needs a massive amount of work.  The menus especially are a complete disaster.

I'm lucky enough to have a MS Store nearby, so getting a $10 gift card on preorders has tempted me to buy any games I want day one with them.

I actually have one nearby as well, very close actually, I never knew store pick up was an option??? Or do you preorder in store itself?

Turns it out it does not really matter that much, I checked the tracking this morning and it is said to be delivered today. (Y)

Well. The geometry on the road just disappeared for me so. drove not nothingness then it froze, I reminded a bit but could only rewind so far and then the game froze completely.

 

Killed the game and it did nothing when I tried to start it, restarted the Xbox and it shows the FH2 screen for a bit then disappears...

Gash, again with this stupid everything need to be a YouTube video BS.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-GdiP-gNA8

 

1. It would take you 10 to just write that. Not a 3 minute video

2. Speak loud and Cleary, don't whisper and don't record instructions after smoking marijuana, no one understands you.

3. At least clean up a little around the area you'll be filming.... eeew...

 

But my game loaded again now... now time for dinner.

I just preorder at the store. They should definitely add a pickup in store option online though. Usually, they have launch events for the big games too, so I'll go to the store and get the game along with playing a bit of it there and maybe winning something lol.

Just got home and it's amazing looking. I'm finding I can't control the initial car. Maybe because its powerful? I follow the green line and only slow down and brake when it's yellow then red. If it stays green, I go out of control on every single turn. Any advice? I lose control and just bag side to side and just let go of the gas while everyone passes me. Maybe I'll do better with the starter cars? Even though green, should be braking or slowing down on turns?

Are you talking about the Huracan? I found it very easy to handle! Full throttle when you have the green lines, and brake/e-brake on red. It's not a race, but a good intro. on what the handling characteristics are like for the game. 

 

I chose the Z4, and I don't see any launch day (day one) cars! Anyone else have this problem that got the game on disc (more specifically Bestbuy)? I also entered the code to get the M6 (bestbuy exclusive), but haven't seen it. Servers overloaded?

the servers are pretty slow right now. a little awhile ago they were actually down and the online modes weren't available.

OK, so I've been playing and I got to Nice.  Doing some of the supercar races there and it said that multiplayer was unlocked but the Clubs tab is the only one grayed out.  Do I need to do something else?

another championship I think, clubs opens up later, it actually tells you to search for one when it does.

Loved what I checked out so far.

First let me say Anna is Kinect done right. I can give credit where credit is due.

I did the first championship, and then the 1st race of the second championship, and whatever other events the game put in between (I did 6 events total I believe).

I tried to join Online Free Roam, but it never did. I couldn't check out any Designs either. Assuming the servers are getting hammered.

I can easily play this game for the next few months, and probably will wind up doing just that with my schedule.

Good news is my wife is going out tomorrow night so I will get to play two nights in a row, which is a rarity for me.

And I am really looking forward to it. First time in awhile, pretty much since Infamous Second Son, that I have been excited to play a game.

And I would have continued playing if I did not have to wake up early for work tomorrow. Sons of Anarchy being on did not help either I suppose.

 

Between this game and Sunset Overdrive, looks like I will finally start using my One on a consistent basis, and that is a good thing. 
Just a damn good game. Everything about it is extremely well done.

I loved the way they handled the GPS with voice (and Kinect) during the first game. It was very easy and just worked. Can't wait to check out this game. Friday can't come soon enough. 

 

I've been playing Rivals to fill the time until I get this on Friday and that uses a similar GPS system for events and hideouts, but uses the directional pad instead which is a nightmare to use when driving at breakneck speed.

I enjoyed the demo enough that i picked this up on the Xbox One store last at the weekend (?39.99 special offer, woo!) and have to wait till Friday for it to unlock.

 

I'm up for joining the Neowin club, gamertag is MikeHellstone if some one needs to invite me.

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

    • Subtitle Edit 5.0.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 by Razvan Serea Subtitle Edit is a powerful, free, and user-friendly subtitle editing tool designed for creating, editing, and converting subtitles for videos. It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
