Oh that reminds me, today and before I been in a lobby where someone has selected a "DLC car" so in race it's just a pure black golf instead of the DLC car, but I have all packs, LE and new game content on my hdd and disc 2 installed, so which car am I missing here?

Dunno, maybe the Audi from the gamestop pre-order?

Took 2 more pics today while racing my S5S. Man this car has a crazy sound to it.

Do you have any of the preorder exclusive cars? (Audi R8 V10 Community Edition, BMW Gamestop M5 E60, BMW Micromania M5 E60, BMW Walmart M5 E60, BMW Game M3 E92, Mitsubishi Gamestation Lancer Evo X GSR)
If not then it was maybe one of these.

I have some evo X preorder code which I not used, didn't want to start the game with a power vehicle, but those are all just in-game cars with a custom skin and tune right? still seems odd.

They show up in the car market as an individual car, not a paint you apply. If I remember right the gamestop car was about 50mbs too.

So yeah, DLC is out and I'm just starting to play with some of these cars for the first time myself.

We've got more DLC planned (cars? tracks? who knows!) and we're working with some interesting third parties on partnering up with future DLC too.

Anyway, great to be back.

Will you guys be adding to the single player portion of the game?

I'd love more tracks but they'd be useless to me if they aren't somehow linked to the single player portion as I don't really care for racing online.

I would love RWD hopers, however I would not be surprised if the #s are low in that area to start off with, at least until a select few find the advantageous cars, run them into the ground, and it becomes the exact same thing as the common hoppers. At least people can stop complaining about the PI system and AWD advantages though. Trust you'll open up a new can or worms with this.

It's the players, not the game. You have a shit audience for this game, on many levels.

Stuff like that is a problem in all games, a lot of people go with what they think will take them to the top until someone brings something new to the table and it goes into that. Fighting games like SF, how common were Ryu/Ken a few weeks in which evolved into what some gamers though would elevate them. How popular are the Lakers/cavs in Nba2k. Or people who use Yao Ming for the rebound advantage.

One of the main things about RWD and I said this before is how they exit corners, it's too easy to lay down power in the AWD as long as you work out the understeer, but in this hopper you have to think about laying down the power at the right time, too early and you will mess up the next straight, too late and the same thing happens. Also when you eat some grass you will have a harsher penalty then most AWD cars which seem to just go off road without a care, RWD car will just spin in circles.

They may be some dominant cars but it also takes more effort and skill to use them, which weeds out half of the S5 users already.

The Ladera Test Track is just awful. Hate that track so much. It looks like a McDonald's playground and is so damn narrow. The whole track seems to be one giant school zone with all the damn rumble strips. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

And to offset all this hate, I love Suzuka Circuit. I will never get tired of that race track.

Some people complain about the benchmark circuit, then say the Top Gear grounds would be so good to have. I'd LOVE to have the Top Gear track/production office there in the game. It's a novelty, not difficult to make, and more open than Layout A with some legitimate high speed turns there. Forza is all about car culture and turning car lovers into gamers and vice versa? Put the Top Gear test track in and you've included a bit of some of the best car culture related stuff into the game.

/slightly related to your post rant.

They are all like the normal cars but with a custom skin, thats all(same PI, no custom tune or parts). And they are all in the Pre-Order Car Pack(around 70 MB in size). So if you redeem at least one of them then you will also see the others when you race against them but not in the dealerships, except the one you have have redeemed.

RWD hoppers are coming. We're getting the text localized right now.

I'm curious to see if folks will actually use the RWD hoppers.
Click to expand...

Che, great news there.

However, you have to take into account few things in order to make RWD hoopers work:

- you should realise it is the ultimate wish of hard-core, so making them "forced no assits" is pretty much mandatory (and ABS and Driving line should also be forced-off there),

- you should include at least few "stock" races in order to prevent "S5 syndrom"

- you should reconsider the actual lenghth of the race, because 3 or 5 laps is just not enough for a real race to develop

If all above should be met, than RWD hoppers COULD become a true place to be. If not, than we'll again have situatios where somebody with TCS will just ram into me and kill me while I corner, and all cars will be souped-up Vipers for instance killing each other in order to win in 3 lap slaughterhouse.

Thank you for paying attention, regards.

This is where I think there are too many options with a too smaller player base online, with a hopper for each car class, the playground extras, p2p, ring races and then the others I forget right now for what seems to be only 800 or so people online at once, is pushing it.

I will be happy if they give us RWD for a few classes, there is always going to be a complaint about racing line and ABS/TCS but right now I think we have to live with it, a real shame because I see so many people using ABS online (can tell by the dotty tyre marks they make by braking full force) but we have to live with it :( unless we make a private lobby, where you can only invite from your friends list or recent players tab :/

Me and Gowans were talking about getting the gaf room going again. The nightly rooms we had in forza 2 were beyond epic (joates where are you!). From Joates and Che racing for first to me gowans and garnett crashing into a comfortable 5th lots of fun times were had. P3tran swearing in greek while cutting me off :lol The 25 lap races like mugello full was pretty epic, nothing like a 2 hour race online lol. Let me know if you guys are interested and Ill add you right now and invite you guys tonight.

I guess we could set up some "themes" or something to start off so people can get their tunes worked out like

Rally Di Full - italian exotics only
DLC Race -A class 2-eleven (so you can play without buying) 7 lap mugello short
R3 race - Nurburgring full
E class race - 5 laps Sebring
A Class 7 laps on Twin Motegi -

Then we can round if off with games of tag, virus or cat and mouse.

I guess for this first night we can start off flexible and have assists player choice and as time goes on have assists off.

If you're interested let me know :D

Any word on fixing/improving compression issues for photomode yet? The holiday rush is over and you guys should have your estimates and stuff. Its probably at the very end of their "to-do" list. Just thought I would check, doubt I'll get a response though.

That's why you go with a "team tactical" approach. Not hopper has to be super specific. Have a hopper like RWD that has some races which are super strict, and some that are a bit more casual. If you're in a group that is all hardcore they'll vote to skip all the casual races, and vice versa. However at least if there's a small amount of people then playing SOMETHING (i.e. hardcore when you want casual, or vice versa) is better than play nothing at all.

Merging the lower end cups like F-E and D-C to be just like that would be nice, after each race the lobby would either pick a random class (limited to the lobby rules you joined) or you could veto to switch car class for the next race. Might not work for the higher more popular classes though.

Hope we see the RWD hopper tonight...che? :(

By doing this, Turn10 would actually be admitting that the online portion of the game is flawed. And that will not happen. The RWD hoppers will be added "to add a bit of variety to the playing field". It's not because they think there is a problem with the PI system.

Wheel arrived today.

Feels great though I'm starting to relearn how drive beginning with F class cars.

I need a wheel stand. going to home depot tomorrow to see if
I can make one myself cause my back hurts from playing using a folding table and sitting on a recliner. Hate the hole on the pedal base :/ I just rest my heel on top of the back hoop. Might just hacksaw that shit off

Pfft bring it to the room tonight! BTW the livery on it looks awesome. Great job.

Im about to put up a limited run of a Nissan GTR Warmachine livery. It wont be free unlike the other skins since I need the cash. It will be only up for a little bit I will post pics in a bit just finishing up the shoulder turret.

About to snooze so can't play tonight, just turned off F3 as it's gone 1am here.

I do wonder which cars are going to appear often in the RWD hopper, the M coupe is good currently and can sort of keep with a pack of S5's but it's damn hard. Lambos will cream me down a straight.

BTW I added a "Dreamcast" decal since well, all this DC stuff on ports and sonic adventure lately brought back my Dreamcast mood.

The R35 has the perfect shape for your iron man designs, looks great.

I need to make a fast RWD for the bigger tracks, hm maybe a supra with turbo and with max downforce so it can actually turn.

The pitpass should have a lot of info today Diablo so here is hoping :)

Man I was just sitting thinking how crazy a track editor in forza 4 would be combined with the livery editor. Especially if there were blank assets that you could apply liveries too (billboards, signs, tv vans, ad spaces etc) Man you could seriously make whatever you wanted from recreating pro tracks to Mario Kart circuits.
