Spency i'm requesting you make me Co leader of the group for event planning like I'm doing with forza 4.

do you have horizon yet? i can agree with that.

[Wschnitz]

Not yet, had to drop my cash on maintenance first. Sometime this week I'll get it.

I spent WAY too much time playing single player last night - seriously impacted my contributions to work today..... One thing I have not done yet is mess around with multi-player.


Can anyone give a quick summery of that? what's available? What's fun? The one thing that I am really hoping is in the game is..... Can you just drive around in free-world with people on your friends list? Pick up street races with your friends instead of just the computer? Open up speed traps and run those as a pack with your friends? Or are you limited to just established races/games?

just reached numero uno in popularity a little bit ago ;)

Anything special happen?

[Pantless Spency]

lol nope :/

Love the boost portrayal, I have the S63B44TU installed with a big pair of race turbos... the thing drives normally and then just snaps from 5000rpm like a real big-turbo car.

Here's my attempt at copying my m3 from forza 4 with a few differences

[CW325]

I don't have live so would this game still be fun or is mainly for online stuff?

i havent even touched multi yet, i think it would be fun for offline only.
but im sorta getting bored of offline play.

I played online a lil bit tonight and it sucks compaired to 4. I say use this for driving around and career fun. Which is awesome. And use forza 4 mainly for the online play. The only thing I've seen so far is regular races, and the playground which is one game of infected, king, and cat and mouse and they rotate in the same game. Gets boring after a few games and tonight there was a bunch of lag from other people. Could possibly get better as more people get the game and go online but I'm not getting my hopes up.

The only thing I don't like about the game is it drives like the cars have stability control on even though traction is off. So when you go to counter steer during a race it overcompensates so it's easier to just not touch the steering to much and the car corrects itself which is opposite of 4 so I have a feeling when I go to play online or go drifting on 4 I'm gonna suck at first

[hfabricius]

Is drifting the same as it was in the demo? Cause when I did the Mustang race with assists turned off, I got sideways really easy. Almost effortlessly.

[kwill22]

Yea the drifting is pretty much the same. The only part that sucks is no tuning so you cant really control the drifting dynamics and they are pretty close to being the same for each car depending on the power. I'm satisfied with the game though

Putting difficulty to expert apparently turns off the hidden stability control.
