I'll kick your arse online :p

Want new media, having to resort to fan made trailers, although this one is nice :D

The hell you will! :p I've been in a pro gaming final, I have! OK, it was Need for Speed Shift, but it still counts! :p

And that's a nice fanmade trailer. :)

I don't have room for a racing wheel but there is a new controller coming out with people like myself in-mind. The HKS Controller for the PS3 is being by InterWorks Unlimited in roughly two weeks; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UF9BK2?ie=UTF8&tag=whens-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003UF9BK2

I should be getting a sample copy as soon as the controller is ready to ship and will definitely report back :)

If you've seen it demo'd you'd likely think otherwise. And as I said, I'm getting a (free) sample copy to review. I'm expecting to see an improvement in steering, specifically being able to hold a smoother line through turns.

I saw this game being played in normal and 3D at the London Expo gaming event and my take on it is, the 3D version maybe i was to close to the screen or the fact that the 3D glasses had these wires stuck to them so people couldnt walk off with the glasses but it didnt need 3D glasses. Out of the 2 racing games (Forza 3/GT5) GT5 looked abit more sharpe then Forza 3 on the screen. But again not sure if different make of HD screens make a difference. And seeing as Forza 3 has not released a new DLC just seems they working already on Forza 4.. but still the game is still new. GT5 also has more of the features i wanted on Forza 3. I wont get a PS3 just for GT5, i just stick with my Xbox 360!

Having been a GT fan, and also owned Forza3.. I'm not happy with Forza 3, it just doesn't feel right. But I can't compare it with GT5 as I have never played it. But I sold my Forza 3 copy, and waiting on GT5 now.

Online play in Forza 3 is terrible, unless you race with a known group who want to have fun/proper racing. There is always 1 car thats way better than anything else for a particular track so if you wanted to top the time sheets you basically had to have that car and setup. I'm hoping GT5 to be differrent, but I doubt it :pinch:

I can't see the video AB. It's just a white space. I tried to use the 2Qn7TL9mMq at youtube but no luck.

I made a mistake

Pretty sure you'll only be able to race cars in the same class online.

If you're still getting owned, race the go karts instead :p

With pro physics and damage turned on that car will be crap to handle :p

Oddly enough, I saw a Reliant Robin today in town, but it didn't roll over. :(

When I watched the video, some troll commented on it, saying the rollovers were to do running over the rumble strips, then crashing, neither of which actually happened, because I actually watched the video. It's just an Italian Reliant Robin. :p

Unfortunately, that is the same in every racing game :(

Sad but true. Personally, I think the best solution to stop that problem on the leaderboards is to only allow standard tuning and set-ups (obviously, you get to pick the assists) to set valid times. Then if you want to stop it in online gameplay, the best solution would probably be to include a game modifier that allows you to disable custom tunings and set-ups. It's a big ask, but it probably would be the best solution.

Oh, what I hate in Forza is that sometimes one car is the best in several groups! I remember in Forza 2, the Honda CRX dominated most of the lower group times.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
