Support NeoGAF

[Jonsoncao]

ZR1

It's calling you.

shiat! must resist!

 

[Yoritomo]

I won't have the ZR1 if I buy the LE ? WTF

Gotta buy the LE to get the ZR1. I imagine you can get it off the auction house as well, or by becoming a vip in another manner, but Che has never clarified anything.

 

[blanky]

And VIP gets you sweet gift cars! Free rides dude!

 

[RSTEIN]

Are we putting the reviews in here or should a new review thread be started?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Put them in here and hope nobody else notices.

;-)

 

[gillty]

If you buy it used, you likely won't get the LE cars as I'm pretty sure they are downloaded via a code included with the game.

thats what im saying if I have to pay more to get fucking cars on the disc (not liveries like forza 2) then i'm not going to support turn10 and would rather give eb my money.
its bullshit.

I pmed a mod asking if we could put the OP up early since the embargos up tonight and the UK release is the 23rd. I havent heard back yet though.

Who said they were on the disc? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't... I don't know. I'm trying to remember from Forza 2 but were the LE cars just an unlock code or did we download them?

You get them free in the career mode?! Even awesomer if so, but may be a heck of an advantage.

 

[Yoritomo]

I love that the rear brakes on the zr1 are the same as the front brakes on an Enzo.

Or that window that lets you look at the roots supercharger lurking under the hood.

I can't wait to hear that supercharger whine as I spin up the rear tires muscling my way through a corner in the ZR1.

The front brakes are almost the same size as the Ferrari FXX front brakes. 15.5 inch diameter vs 15.75.

I doubt Forza is modeling active suspension systems like those found on the ZR1 but there are more and more cars adopting systems like that.

Who knows maybe they are.

 

[Slayer-33]

It's almost here, love the new pics


it's so close we can taste it

 

[B E N K E]

Since he is a bit of a NeoGAF legend I thought I'd post a link to our video interview with Che from TGS here: http://www.gamereactor.eu/grtv/?id=5789

He talks about community stuff, user generated content, accessibility and a few other things. Enjoy!

 

[twinturbo2]

Yes.

You'll probably get a separate code/card from Gamestop for the bottom car. All others will be included in the game pack.

What about the Audi R8 community design? The one that Best Buy has? Is that a Best Buy exclusive?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Some shots of the Benchmark Ring, the first look at the track outside of a brief glimpse in the 458 Italia video. A dedicated testing playground sounds enticing, and I can already see many hundreds of kids imitating Ken Block's drifting-through-abandoned-airfield-hangers shenanigans.

Taken from Turn 10's DLC announcement.

This track could almost end up being "forge" like I imagine as people start coming up with fun modes to play.

Have you tried it yet? Or is it still hush hush about it? I wonder if a lap/time counter appears driving on the playground.

 

[AMUSIX]

Holy crap, that is exactly Ken Block...and exactly the type of playground I was hoping they'd add (but never thought they would)

I wonder if the different 'courses' are just different obstacle configurations.

And can we play online in a playground mode?

 

[twinturbo2]

Yeah, this car, is everybody getting it?

Nope have not tried it, I think its day one DLC.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Everybody gets it

 

[twinturbo2]

Everybody gets it

Okay, I was a tad worried there, thanks.

 

[twinturbo2]

So, with the blank stock cars, can I get some Daytona USA-inspired designs?

 

[AMUSIX]

This one too please

917/30

Yes, yes, yes, yes...

I'm sorry I forgot to include it....

Che...above you have three Porsches that need to be fast-tracked into DLC.

Get on it.

NOW, DAMNIT!!! DON'T JUST SIT THERE READING THIS!!! LIGHT THE TURN 10 SIGNAL!!! SUMMON THE TEAM!!!

 

[Milpool]

Nope have not tried it, I think its day one DLC.

That's what the announcement says anyway, I ordered from shopto who say "Audi R8 V10 Unlock Code *CODE NOW SOLD OUT*" so I hope I can still get this.

 

[Absoludacrous]

I was gonna get the LE, but the ECA discount at amazon plus $10 credit was too much to pass up. That's practically a $40 difference, and as much as I want the cars, I'll take the $40.

 

[MidnightRider]

So do we have and official NeoGAF tuner?

 

[blanky]

Nope have not tried it, I think its day one DLC.

oh yeah, forgot about that. How does the process of painting a car feel like now? Is it more efficient/smoother etc or pretty much the same?

 

[AMUSIX]

I don't have the time for it...I'll contribute what I can...would be cool if someone did opening a 'tuning shop' though.

 

[antiquegamer]

from what i've read on the forza 3 forums, you have to win a tournament to get VIP or buy limited edition, no auction house sales to non vip.

if so i'll wait till this game is 20 used at eb, no sale.

That's a very definition of limited edtion .. if they can be offer to everyone then it would not be limited wouldn't it?

Well, have fun waiting, the rest of us will be playing and having fun with 400 other cars that are available.

 

[Jube3]

oh yeah, forgot about that. How does the process of painting a car feel like now? Is it more efficient/smoother etc or pretty much the same?

Its more efficient because of the canvas setup. I can go into more detail in about 9 hours!

 

[blanky]

yeah the canvas is godsend! Looking forward to learn more about it, I invested hours in painting

 

[Milpool]

DLC please!

The mini Scooby of course.

 

[Psychotext]

Damn... he must have a serious set of nuts. You'd never persuade me to drive around that little thing at more than about 10mph with that Scooby sliding around. :lol

 

[AMUSIX]

Damn... he must have a serious set of nuts. You'd never persuade me to drive around that little thing at more than about 10mph. :lol

We used to bomb around in go-karts at 45 mph....of course, we were smart about it...always sometimes wore our BELL bicycle helmets...

 

[chespace]

Down the road, there will probably be a way to get the VIP cars outside of the LCE. It's unconfirmed at this point (because I honestly don't know) and if it happens, there is a waiting period involved.

 

[Psychotext]

Yeah, it was more the risk of getting run over by the other car... hence the edit.

 

[Jube3]

Yea thats insane haha, he was whipping around on that thing.

 

[Milpool]

They have a bit of a bump not long after the 3 minute mark.

 

[enzo_gt]

DLC please!

The mini Scooby of course.

Will be livery'd within the first 3 days of release.

 

[Diablohead]

After seeing that mini scooby I want toy cars for my forza! They are good fun in burnout

 

[RSTEIN]

DLC please!

The mini Scooby of course.

HOLY SHIT AT 2:00 in!!!!!!!!!

 

[blanky]

Will be livery'd within the first 3 days of release.

already is in the few times they demo'd storefront you could see atleast one Block Subaru

 

[Jube3]

Im gonna try and stay up a little late tonight (3 am est), Ill put up a private stream for the gaffers in this thread. Ill try and get some answers going while I play, dont mock my driving though haha, its not very good! Also if I smash into a wall randomly its because my frames drops in the capture window. Just to get the excuses out of the way :lol

Can you say yet if the career progression nets you, relatively, a lot of money? Sort-of like Forza 2? I never want to be strapped for cash, even for many that may add an extra challenge or add to the fun. At points I want to buy I car I just want to own and love. Perhaps have children with (Looking at the Enzo Ferrari here).

Will VIP Members get a discount on DLC?

I guess I can say its similar to forza 2, but the upgrade costs are higher.

 

[chespace]

Yeah, 200k might seem like a lot but it can vanish in a heartbeat when you start dropping mad upgrades on a lower class car to bring it up to A or S.

I played career up to around level 35 and, while money was never an issue, it was always something I kept my eye on and I never had unlimited amounts to do whatever I wanted. This becomes especially noticeable when the storefront comes into play. There's ALWAYS something I want on the storefront and I just don't have that extra 50k to drop on a vinyl or a tune. Dammit.

Yea, I really like that though it made me consider what to do. I picked up a honda CRX for a couple grand and I hooked it up without looking and it cleaned me out.

 

[KingOfSnake]

I don't think I missed it but I haven't seen\read too much about the auto tune feature.

Does it or do you have certain 'presets'\baselines (based on say, more\less understeer etc...) you can choose from regarding your current upgrades...and then tweak from there?

While not all that knowledgeable about cars, I really enjoyed tuning for a while (thanks to in game help) but due to the breadth of the game, it got a little tiring.
