If Enron and DarkFib3r's Drivatars would like to quit running me off the road, that would be nice! :p

 

In all seriousness though, i've not enjoyed a game as much as this, since FC3. And i don;t think i've ever enjoyed a car game this much. Eagerly beavering away to unlock Car clubs so i can join the Neowin one :D

The first one is a lot better. Been playing this for about 30 mins today. First one is better IMHO

 

Hmm, yeah I'd like a reason too :P I haven't played the first in ages but from what I remember I can't think of how this hasn't improved over it. 

 

On a general note loving the game so far. My favourite is definitely the off road races. Seeing a check point in the distance and just nailing it towards it is immense. 

 

Not really a negative but I thought the game was way too easy on normal Driveatar difficulty. I've upped it to experienced I think but even then once I'm out in front it's pretty easy to win.

 

Driveatar's are hella aggressive too! On the road trips I was constantly being being pushed off the road and even had someone get in front of me and then slam on the brakes!

 

I managed to join the Neowin club but haven't had a lot of time to play the game, hopefully will get in the hours during this week and weekend (weekend work has been cancelled, woop) 

 

I know that we're all in different times zones but we should try and organise a car meet or something.

I notice you liked my previous post... you sir, are as bad as them! ;)

In fact i'd say you're constantly popping up as my main rival.

How ?

 

I can't find a single way this hasn't improved on the first.

I'm looking at this from an xbox360 point of view.

 

1. You can't crash through barriers like they said.

2. It doesn't rain in the game like it shows on the video.

3. It's took-en the annoying sound from grand terismo at the start of ever race.

4. You can't custom modify the car like they said you could.

5. It's glitchy in 80% of places at the moment ( will be patched no doubt but I'm on about now )

 

and more but can't think of them off the top of my head

Haha woops  :blush: You need to race harder in that case.

Ah I think that explains it all. I think everyone here is playing on the One and that's been developed completely separately.

 

1 and 2 are definitely in the One version. I haven't played GT or tried to modify a car yet so can't address those two. I've only played for 3/4 hours and haven't had any bugs yet. 

 

I think the biggest complaint we've had so far is the fog not being right for Europe and aggressive Driveatars which if those are the only complaints, it's not too bad. 

 

I would say that the issue is the version you're playing unfortunately :S

Just reading the Wikipedia page and the 360 version doesn't contain the weather system and the Driveatar system. Playground Games (the Xbox One dev) even said that the two versions are "different games"

 

So you're probably right, the two games on the the 360 are probably very similar.

Ah soory man, i'm on the XB1 version and i can do all of those. Possibly left out of the 360 version to allow for larger map or something?

Hehehe... That was my first multiplayer.  I really need to learn about picking the right car and tuning it, apparently.  Holy crap, that guy with the beater Dart (I think) would take of from the start like a slingshot!  As for voice, I put on my headset hoping for some chat but all I heard was one guy (apparently) repeating his favorite pastime over and over and that was it.

 

Meanwhile, those Duke boys sure know how to get in some trouble!

Mic use is surprisingly high in this amen, while in destiny I've never seen an active mic, you almost always have some here, they're usually not that bad either.

 

Also MP gives a ton of xp, but more people need to understand how the team matches work. Ie smash the other guys in the corners and pin them :P

How to get barn finds?  ... I don't see anything on the map.

No barn finds yet..

 

They started for me at Level 7. Got it last night on X1, what a fantastic game, played my first online race in a Lamborghini Huracan, and trumped everyone, what a fantastic car! I wanna drive one for real! I see PS4's long awaited DriveClub has turned out to be a flop, can't see Forza fans jumping ship :)

    • 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.
