The lack of Monza and Long Beach in that Top Gear mag info could suggest track DLC no?

what top gear mag? linky?

anyway, as we reach the finish line, this is also the sad time that will find out exactly what did not make the nextgen jump content-wise...

I still don't understand your reasoning. What's wrong with things existing that you can't have?

Unique prizes for unique competitions - Superbowl rings, fa cup trophy, the piston cup etc.

As Shaneus said, it's not exactly the unicorns themselves that were terrible, it was the way to win them. You had almost zero chance if you weren't in the US or staying up very late at night in the EU do some stuff.



Anyway, I thought I'd share some FM4 photos again. Hopefully the user-made liveries are as high res as the latest FM4 DLC cars now. Also, after playing a bit of FM4 again, Sebring really got a huge upgrade in FM5. Anyone not seeing a difference between FM4 and FM5 needs to get their eyes checked...

What about people who have a significantly more difficult time achieving those things? Almost every single race with a dev event in FM4 I could not make because it was held during working hours here in Australia. I call that being punished for having content locked away simply for being in the wrong region (or not being quick enough to tweet something on twitter because of being in the wrong time zone), not others being "rewarded".

Thankfully Jube helped out not on the unicorn front but I think on the DLC front once or twice (I miss him!) but yeah, the unicorn thing is just stupid. Sure, make it rare to find it in-game (as in, it appears in-store offline once every 50 or so plays or something) but don't lock it away behind some obscure gate.


Ok well.. I've gotten most of my uni's from posting in the forums about a certain topic.. Not difficult.

Driving Sonoma is a blast when that little car is tuned out proper.

Posting on the official forums is extremely difficult if you want to maintain your dignity and retain any sense of self worth.

I agree with you. The moderators are god awful. It's like a "Napoleon complex" for forum moderators over there. Some are ok, but others are unbearable.

Having said that, it's any easy way to get unicorn cars. Most of the HMA's give them out for something under the news threads.

hard copies ftw!! :D

(I estimate d/l would take me more than a week, given my connection AND the day1 patch/stuff globally)

Huh, I had no idea forum posting could get you unicorns as well. Thought it was just GWDs that got them for you.

Shows you how well that particular method for obtaining them was promoted. Hence, stupid idea.
 
amazon uk says nov27th, some others I follow still have no date
but boy, forza+shit, xbone+shit, ps4+shit, new gpu;s(+shit), it sure will be a busy two month period for my pocket.. :D

Just Xbox, Forza LCE and wheel (but I'd rather not have to) for me.

A 1080p Rift could have changed my mind but no way another PlayStation any time soon, not even tempted until the next GT.

I like this "focused" style 8)
for sure, forza is the one thing I look forward to the most out of e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g that's coming out, and reading about your plan made me think that my plan is (looks up the word) a dawdle (wtf :D) in comparison :)

for me theres literally no reason to get an xbox other than forza, well the impulse triggers is definitely a cool thing but everything else about the console is so off putting

the only "off-putting" thing is that its a bit of a dud , powerwise.
but for day 1 to a couple of years down the line, it will be great.

plus, the first rows of ms top exclusives (horizon halo gears etc) are going to be great.
now, I dont know how excited I will be for halo 8, xbone 2019 edition (zero excited probably), but for 2014 master chief, I am sure it will be special and fresh enough to be great..
add in the mix titanfall, and these are the certain games.
then you got whatever they will try to pull to make the deal interesting...

but yeah, forza has a great gravitational pull, at least for my tastes.. 8)
if it wasnt for that, I dont know for how many months/years i would not give ms a cent,
just to teach those fuckers not to try and kinect-drm shit all around the place

i grew out of halo after 3, it used to be my favourite franchise when i was younger but yea but will gears be good without cliffy? loved gears 1 but every other game got a long wrong..and oh yea titanfall looks great but i will get it on pc

(gif at actual game resolution)

boom!

xanadu, as we have said many times,
its very easy to look and find a reason NOT to get xboned.
but as things are now, games are for sure not a deficit for the console.
launch line up around forza looks sweet, practically I bought every day1 edition...
thats why I stopped and felt envy at cowboy's simple and elegant plan above.

Hmmm, wouldn't it be better if Turn 10 themselves showcased features of the game instead of random offerings from journos?

I'm sure there would be quite a few things looked over by these guys..

Say what?

Edit: never mind, 'looked over' = 'overlooked'?

I got Forza 4 out for the first time in over a year on the weekend. I'm trying to get the events list complete before Forza 5 arrives but I may have left my run a bit late...
I only pre-ordered an Xbox One a few days ago, basically for this game. I know there's other games I'll pick up eventually but Forza 5 is what sold me on getting one on launch day.

Looking forward to more GAF club shenanigans(that pre-race destruction derby at Nurburgring GP was hilarious to watch...think ShortSirkett had it up on Youtube) and I'll probably go nuts with photo-mode again.
I just hope we get a decent amount of tracks and that the R32 Skyline GT-R has been remodeled...
