Not if you are only going to play one game. Unless your talking about a sub $100 non FFB wheel then its up to you.

Unless it did it on its own. Played the demo for hours without issue.
I loved horizon 1 but to me this game is better all around. Yeah, there were technical issues which now seems like a Forza tradition but just grabbing your favorite car and cruising around Europe, racing, etc. is really as good as it gets in a racer for me. Now if I could just get a formula 1 car...

Only finished the first championship, but that moment when you first have to drive to an event and Anna tells you to make a left, only to have my drunken self audibly say "fuck you Anna!" and drive through a field was something special.

Is he Darius Flynt from Horizon 1?

So... It didn't finish downloading yesterday. When I had the console in standby, the download speed decreased drastically. Is this normal?
wifi or wired connection?
So is the VIP bonus just double wheel spins, not double XP and money from everything you do?

I have the game installed which will unlock on Friday but when I open it says 'install' will probably fix its self.
In the preview program, sadly.

You have the game downloaded. When Friday hits you'll be able to install it and play.

Since I'm in the GAF Club in the game figured I should at least say hello in the OT.
I'm curious how my drivatar will be for folks in here. Against the CPU I'm a rough and tumbler smashing into them if appropriate (but generally driving fairly clean). When I play with real people I try to be a much cleaner driver. I expect my drivatar to be a nuisance if it's smart enough. But I'll be honest, especially in racing games, the AI doesn't differentiate enough for me to say one takes one style over another. Or it's going too quickly for me to accurately notice.
From the Club I've had Niven's and FordGTGuy's drivatars in my world. Niven's was a real pain in the ass during one of the championships and made me a little worried I wouldn't complete the championship at first.
Before stopping for the night I was ranked 13th in the Club. That'll probably be the highest I get as I won't have as much time to keep focusing on the game like I did today.
For each of the six zones I know there's eight Championship "headers" and within each I think there's three separate subcategories. Do all three of those share the same championship series in the respective zone? I'm assuming that's why they group it that way but I haven't experimented to see if that's how they do it.

Edit:
I'm going to guess yes since the last few hours it seemed like all the server stuff was fixed. All the other cars were downloadable for me, I played online, no longer got hung up on the credits results screen, etc. I think it's smooth sailing now.

I got 6 more champ in chips to go
It was fixed for me when I checked before going to work.
I could buy all my DLC cars for free, got bonuses on the spin wheel and had the small crown as well.

Sounds like the game wants you to return it.
Disc or digital? I know it's a lot to ask for, but tried redownloading?

Put a drum loop on top and some basss and you my friend have a number one single!
oh shit, really? That's almost worse than Forza 5's VIP.
I wish the developers were more open about this kind of thing. 2x progression bloody sounds like a lot more than 'spin the wheel an extra time when you level up'. It sounds like it helps you actually level up quicker, or earn more in races.
Fooled me twice, shame on me.
Wait...what? The description says "VIP membership also awards with 2x player in-game reward acceleration".
Re-install the game, maybe?
I don't know, I'm just going from this line
I want to know myself before I buy the VIP pass.
Wifi. Nothing else was connected. I wasn't at home.
Forza 5 said something similar and was only double credits on levelling up (35k -> 70k). No double XP or race win credits.
technically the wheel spin is an in-game reward, and you're getting 2x them.... Shitty if true though.
edit: Helios, can you comment on this?

I have the same problems over wifi. I usually just run a network cable through my livingroom to download games and unplug it afterwards.

Well if that's it I wish I hadn't bothered with VIP in that case.
Free VIP cars sound good though, I didn't mean to sound like a spoilt brat.

This update happened a few hours ago. It seems they are really trying their best

Not really normal. They were having issues all day yesterday. When I was playing last night, I kept getting server disconnects left and right and right. It is the typical first day/two days of issues.
Would certainly like clarification on this. As an Ultimate Edition preorderer I'm feeling a little bit mislead.
I am on the preview and it's not happening to me.
edit: reading all the issues - I am glad I bought the day one edition, will buy the VIP and car pack later on though when they get cheaper, maybe.
20 bucks for getting twice the rewards is laughable. You don't even get to spin it twice, you just get double the money or a car and its value in money. Which mostly means you'll get 24 k instead of 12k at a levelup. Forza 5 gave 70k over 35k on each levelup and car prices seem to be comparable.

Does anyone is having problems in not hearing any voices on cutscenes or instructions? They are all mute for me!

It would be, if that's all VIP was for.
