It's funny you say that, because my PS3 HDD crashed two weeks ago and I lost my save. It still hurts, thanks.Metalmurphy said:
But how about you do the same race? Then I'll see if something is wrong with my new HDD or not.

But how about you do the same race? Then I'll see if something is wrong with my new HDD or not.
spats said:It was supposed to be included at one point in time. :I They propably hit a hard memory cap and had to slash the feature.
However after seeing the crazy optimization they did with Spec 2 I wouldn't be surprised if it appeared at some point.
I mean they cut the load times from like 15 seconds to 3 seconds.
What kind of optimization did they do in Spec 2.0 ?

I'm doing a race right now, but I think it was:Metalmurphy said:
B-Spec
Amateur Class
Italian Festival Lvl 8
Rome
Zonda R '09 (hey, I had to make sure he wins!)
e: But to be honest, I don't get why we're doing a loading contest here. I only disagreed about the "crazy optimizations" in the loading times. Nobody has to agree with me.

The fuck? Dude, I don't care! If you say so, then so be it. All I can say is that it takes 13-15 seconds to load that track here and that's it. I've seen it loading faster than that, no doubt, just not on that track, in that race. You're my beloved nemesis, but your opinion is not that important to me, sorry. e: And to make it sound less personal, it's not just you.Metalmurphy said:

Where do you guys live? I'm not even off work and you guys have done several races already. This is probably why I haven't raced with you guys before =[.

Yeah, why not? I just wrote down the experience I have and why I disagree with the statement about the crazy optimization. That's it. As long as nobody comes in here and says that I'm lying, it's fine. Btw, it's a new 7200 RPM HDD, with a new installation/save I created a week or two ago.Cigol said:

Counter even starts before the track starts loading, but it's after pressing X, since that's when we start waiting even though it's not when it starts loading.
And I just remembered, my HDD is almost full. Games tend to load faster when it has more space. Pretty sure I can improve these load times by deleting some demos.
Race is this Sunday. MikeDub is guest-starring as race steward: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=31747198&postcount=306phosphor112 said:

Fair enough.Metalmurphy said:
I just watched the video and I think we have some misunderstanding here. When I check the YouTube counter on your video, from the time where the loading screen with the load bar appears, until it's done, it takes about 10 seconds (from 0:05-0:14/0:15). That's exactly how I timed the loading.
Am I doing it wrong?

Look at the clock. Takes 49 seconds after the "X" Chime till the cars are on the track, which was what I said and is the entire load. The load bar for the track is 7-8 seconds. Sure it's more then 3, it looked faster which was why I said 3, wasn't really paying attention to the clock at that point.
whaat, you're still arguing about the load times? I'll never use the word optimization again.
The time it takes for me to get into an arcade time trial race is like 3-4 seconds in stead of 10-15. The grid still needs load if you're racing other cars but I much prefer being able to access options and poke around stuff while it loads in stead of having to stare at a fucking black screen for half a minute.

That's alright. I went into the tuning section and it got hung up and wouldn't let me leave so I had to quit into the XMB, that's probably why it was showing that I wasn't loading in. That actually happened 3 times today, where it would take a minute+ to transition. Hopefully it's a problem with the patch and not my PS3.

If the track load times are shorter, then so are the overall load times, since you have to load both the track and the grid in most races.
I definitely think that separating the two actions out has definitely sped things up overall.

Is there a way to know if I've been kicked off a room or if I had a server hang up instead?

I wounder now they have opened the door for DLC if they will sell the stealth / chrome cars from the limited edition / pre orders.
seems like it would be easy money at 1:99 or 2:99 for each pack.
That would be wonderful! I would pay good money for the stealth cars

It was just the 3 seconds part that irritated me.Metalmurphy said:
But to end this discussion, I loaded that 12 lap Monza B-Spec race and the track took about 5 seconds to load. The logo and bar appeared, loaded for a sec and it was done.

I know this will get people irate in whichever thread I post this in, but:
Forza 4 vs Gran Turismo 5 post update? I'm in the mood for a driving sim and didn't play as much Forza 3 as I would've liked to back at launch. Which would you recommend? Either one will be played with a 360/PS3 controller.

Does anyone know if they are even considering bringing the youtube feature? The folks at PD just got silent about it like it's nothing.
There is a specific thread for such discussion, just search 'Forza 4 vs. Gran Turismo 5' in the google search bar on the site.bluedeviltron said:

Noob question:
Do the dealerships only show cars available up to your current level? Is there really only one new Acura you can buy in this game? The NSX '91?
I'm level 25 right now and want to know if increasing my level will make new cars appear in the dealerships. Haven't played this game in a while so I forget if they were all there from the start.
I'm counting 201 new cars to buy from the dealerships. Is that number right?
All other cars you get are either used or rewards?
I'm OCD so I want to know where and how I can get as many of the cars as possible. Thanks.

I would really like a video export feature at the moment as well. The Nordschleife race with the Impreza today was intense! Everything started off well for me, there were lots of little battles scattered here and there, but I cracked under pressure and committed a few dumb mistakes. It would be awesome to have the ability to edit footage of the race from different points of view.

Question 1: Dealerships show all of the new cars, even the ones that are above your level. So you could be level one and go to the Ferrari dealership and see(and actually demo) either of their Formula 1 cars.
Question 2: Yes, the NSX '91 is the only new Acura in the game. However, you CAN race mod that particular NSX.
Question 3:Yes, they're about 201 new Dealership(premium) cars and the rest are used (standard) cars. Some of these used cars you can only win as a reward for winning events(such as the Jay Leno Tank Car for winning the American Championship) but most you can find from time to time in the Used Car or Online Dealership sections.
