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 will kick both your arses, so take that!

Seeing as you used the correct English definition of "arse" instead of "ass", I'll let you have that one. ;)

Lets hope o2 have sorted out the internet at my flat by then!

My Blue DS3 FTW , since i can't afford a wheel, and i'm damn good with a controller.

Take that the three of ya :D

[LingeringSoul]

If I venture online, I'll surely end up getting destroyed. This is going to be the first game that a use a racing wheel with since Gran Turismo 4, so if you see somebody spinning out on every corner, that would be me ;).

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 :)

i agree, he'd be better off with an official controller, for all around purposes later down the line.

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

Sold on ebay for $100!

Crazy but I guess more for the geek factor of having before release than the value.

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

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:

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

Someone posted awhile ago on the amount of time it takes to design a car (bitching on the amount of cars they won't redo for GT5), and I don't want to say I told you so but just watched Qore and they say it takes 3-6 months to design one car.

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

Internet connection from 27th October! :D Just in time!!

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.
