That's awesome! and it's my birthday next month too happy.gif

It picks a car for you though, you don't get to choose it, but still a nice touch on there. Will be interesting to see what happens at Christmas, will all tracks be covered in snow etc? New Year = fireworks maybe?

My birthday is almost a year away :(. Maybe I should change my birthday for the game! ;)

Change the year as well, then you can easily get that trophy for getting a car made in or before 1959! :p

Loving it so far!!

Screen Tearing is only issue I'm having when turning a corner - and these load times are forever

Has anyone noticed a different between the first gen and the slim in performance? My buddy and I got home at the same time and he installed (the Full) about 30 minutes faster..... I have a 320GB harddrive I put in myself. Could that be the issue?

It's possible. I have read where it's taken anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes now depending on the different PS3 or HDD installed.

I've first gen 60gig model (with those media card reader), and it' took around 45 min to install but it didn't installed menus though. Every time I got into installation in progress on the bottom right of the screen, it was really annoying but after I went atleast once in all of them the next it loads a lot quicker.

Mine is a slim 160GB and it only took 25-30 minutes. Counter kept telling me 14 minutes though through most of the install, so was wildly inaccurate!!

after an hour mine went to "23 seconds remaining" for 5 minutes, then "24 seconds remaining" for 25 mins and finally "1-3 seconds remaining" for 5 minutes.

The game is amazing, but has a few flaws which hopefully will be fixed over time. I would spend ?40 just on the karting aspect alone. I've never had so much with a driving game, and yes that includes Mario Kart.

Karting is definitely fun, especially skudding along at 80mph and hitting tight corners :p

karting is definitely fun. most fun i have had so far is doing kart with the dash view, the sense of speed is crazy.

and i just noticed the screen tearing now doing rally, and it was BAD.

i'm also lovin the soundtrack in the game, mainly electronic/house/progressive music which is what i mainly listen to anyways :) (deadmau5 remix of not alone by calvin harris (Y) )

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

      Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions. A wide range of effects and transitions. Audio signal processing capabilities include normalization, phase and pitch shifting, limiting, volume adjustment, reverb and equalization filters as well as others. Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

      People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
