It's gotta end sometime. Forza 4 will be out late in 2011 or something. I'd be pissed if in the future I bought DLC for a game that would become obsolete in a couple of months.

And the new Silverstone circuit would be neat, but you wouldn't be able to use it except online, and most people wouldn't have it. I'd rather just see new car packs.

Shit, I forgot to buy the new one this week. McLaren MP4-12c :yay:

by Swerve Fri Jul 16, 2010 11:02 am

I got the new one purely because it has the McLaren and the C63. I now have all the cars I could ever want, unless they end up doing the unlikely and including a Swift in a future pack.

by Honor Tue Jul 20, 2010 12:51 pm

another car i would like to see in here : the ford gt90

by Turbojett Tue Jul 20, 2010 9:11 pm

oh yes. i think I was like 12 or 13 when that came out, and i remember learning it had a V12 and thinking, holy crap, that's a lot of pistons! :roflmao:

then again I also thought Monte Carlos and Thunderbirds were sports cars just because they raced in Nascar. :grrr:

by Honor Tue Jul 20, 2010 11:49 pm

it was like 2 lincoln engines welded together or something.

by Tailhappy Thu Jul 22, 2010 11:50 pm

NFS II had it, or was it III? The interior was gay blue, but it sounded nice, and the spoiler would pop up under braking, which I thought was novel....

by Honor Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:38 pm

it was nfs ii. i almost always picked the mclaren or F50 though

by Dodge Sat Jul 24, 2010 12:30 am

I always drove the log in nfs ii

by Honor Sat Jul 24, 2010 11:13 am

the log

by Tailhappy Sun Jul 25, 2010 9:52 am

I'd rather the T-Rex.

by Turbojett Mon Jul 26, 2010 10:12 pm

I liked la nina in nfs3. It sounded pretty weird, but I liked it.

yeah, like 2 Lincoln V8s with the ends lopped off and then welded together, and quad turbos too, like the EB110.

by Honor Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:18 pm

i am getting impatient waiting for my delorean. :curses:

by Tailhappy Sun Aug 01, 2010 1:07 am

Me too. AND MY DAMN SYCLONE

by Tailhappy Sun Aug 01, 2010 1:07 am

Although Id rather the TYPHOON

by JaysonAych Sat Aug 28, 2010 1:03 am

Oddly enough, a vinyl group I had on my storefront (the Edge shaving gel logo on the below car) was removed. I remember when I first uploaded it, there was a problem putting search tags on it (it said "gel" was a naughty word Very Happy

) so I'm wondering what happened.

The other day, the Mulsanne Straight was both my shining moment, and my Agony of Defeat moment in the span of a 80 seconds. Turns out you have to brake at that little kink if you going 200 MPH in a Civic del Sol.

by Honor Sat Aug 28, 2010 12:48 pm

haha pwned

by Turbojett Sat Aug 28, 2010 2:43 pm

man, i've never had to brake for that kink in any game. and it looks like that del sol was wagging its tail the whole way into hunaudieres so that's probably why.

by Tailhappy Sat Aug 28, 2010 10:44 pm

Haha you still play this game????

So do I, mixed production is fucking awesome online.

When you have 520 hp on a lightweight FWD car, it's hard to keep under control.

The spec for that race was any 2WD car built up from F class to A class with a max tire width of 225 mm. Handling mods were strongly discouraged for maximum mayhem, but I had to put on full race tires. I'd put in a supercharged S2000 motor, and it would just spin the tires on the straightaway until I put the tires on, even in 5th gear. It redlined at 10K, and just launched once it hit 7,500 RPM.

by Turbojett Sun Aug 29, 2010 9:59 pm

that just makes more of an argument for RWD. I'd be rockin' that Miata, or perhaps a C10 GTR. but i suppose it's all in the challenge though.
what would have happened with a quick liftoff and an apex? about the same thing?

by JaysonAych Sun Aug 29, 2010 10:14 pm

Yeah, pretty much. I had the differential settings turned way down and it still torque-steered badly.

While the Miata was available, that would have been too easy. And there aren't many other good RWD choices in F-class. I'd tried a Toyota 2000GT, but I was getting better lap times with the del Sol.

by Talon Sun Aug 29, 2010 11:10 pm

I almost played this game this weekend since... well, probably a year ago? Buddy of mine was playing MW2 so I did that instead...

by Swerve Mon Aug 30, 2010 4:53 am

I completed the Fujimi Kaido F Class heats thing on the weekend, using the Alfa GTA. So much fun. Fujimi Kaido and Amalfi Coast are the two best courses in the game.

by Talon Wed Sep 01, 2010 12:42 pm

I actually plugged this game in yesterday only to recall why I quit playing it to begin with. All the little nuances I had forgotten about resurfaced. I jumped in my RSXS for a little D series action... the little revving movie before every race (really? An RSXS has like 3 lb/ft tq and it's revving and shaking?), the hands never leave the steering wheel even when shifting, the fact the steering wheel covers up from 4k to 8k (aka the whole power-band) on the tach, etc.

I'm sure playing with some of you assholes online would make it more fun. Anyone here have GT5P? We can scrap in that...? :shrug:

That is annoying. I don't see why that never got addressed, because I haven't talked to a single person that liked it.

Talon wrote:the hands never leave the steering wheel even when shifting

This was patched early on. Load it up when on Live and get the game updated for the animations.

Talon wrote:the fact the steering wheel covers up from 4k to 8k (aka the whole power-band) on the tach, etc.

This depends on the car, and some cars I believe had it fixed during one of the patches, but not all of them.

by Honor Mon Sep 20, 2010 11:41 am

theyre really holding out on us with this jalopnik pack. it's almost october and still no new news or concrete release dates that i've seen. im starting to wonder if it's ever coming at all.

plenty of games coming out soon to keep me busy though. dead rising 2, the new medal of honor game, fable 3, and that new need for speed hot pursuit game should be good fun hopefully.

hopefully yes. but NFS has long been teetering back and forth between great and sucky, but the overall quality has been deteriorating

Most Wanted=Awesome
Carbon=Sucks
Prostreet=Great
Undercover=Blows Chunks
Shift=Acceptible, but still annoyingly flawed
Hot Pursuit=

...uh-oh. :unsure:

by JaysonAych Fri Oct 01, 2010 3:22 am

Whoa, I didn't expect this, given that GT5 has all that Top Gear stuff in it...

http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/Top_Gear_Forza_Motorsport_3/

Automotive fans around the world know to where to turn when looking for some of the most compelling automotive coverage anywhere: Top Gear. After all, if you love cars, chances are you have probably heard of Top Gear, if you aren’t already a fan. With the upcoming release of the Forza 3 Ultimate Collection, Turn 10 is proud to announce the beginning of a long-term partnership between Forza Motorsport and Top Gear. We’re tremendously excited about this partnership; one that looks to bring two world-class organizations together to create something utterly unique around a shared passion for cars.

+ “Stig’s Garage Car Pack” -- This free Add-on Pack is exclusive for Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection owners and will feature three of the hottest supercars around: the Lexus LFA, the Koenigsegg CCX, and the Mercedes-Benz SLS-AMG. Look for profiles on all three of these amazing rides here at forzamotorsport.net in the coming weeks.

+ Exclusive Top Gear video feature -- Produced exclusively for Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection owners, this free downloadable 90-minute feature will be a compilation of Top Gear segments showcasing the variety and insight that has become the series’ hallmark.

+ Xbox LIVE Top Gear Premium Theme -- Put the Stig on your dashboard; this free exclusive Top Gear dashboard theme will only be available for Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection owners.

And that’s just the beginning. In the not-too-distant future, you can expect to see more from Top Gear in the Forza world and vice verse. We’ve got big plans for the future, so stay tuned.

Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection will also include seven new car models, including:

*
Lancia 037 Stradale
*
Jaguar D-Type
*
Plymouth Cuda
*
Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro
*
Audi TT RS Coupe
*
Audi R15 TDI
*
Porsche 550A Spyder

Sucks that you basically have to buy Forza again to take advantage of those things.

And where the hell is my Omni GLHS? :screamo:

by Swerve Fri Oct 01, 2010 7:45 am

I got excited before realising none of these packs featured the Top Gear Track and Reasonably Priced Car Set.

the new one is an exact replica of Hot Pursuit 2...i was watching videos of it and some of the tracks are the exact same, the physics look exactly the same, but with new graphics..and thats not necessarily a bad thing because that game was pretty good.

for the record i thought Carbon was the best until Shift in the era of non NFS -- NFS games.

I also enjoy the fact that the interstates last a total of about 15 miles.
