Does any supermarket have any good deals on at the moment?

Like the one a certain chain had last week on Rage. Spend £30 and get it for £25.

Why does the Rivals take forever to load any screen?

Probably because of everyone using it at the same time, as it's inherently fetch-data-from-the-server-ey, unlike other modes.

Just got my perfect drift achievement. Boom!

Cool

Seeing as people have been getting on alright with it, I've just ordered a speed wheel

I assume you only have about a quarter turn (90°) or so for full lock either side? Much more and I imagine it could be rather uncomfortable

Drifting is fun. **** racing.

You played NFS: Hot Pursuit? Going sideways is mandatory.

This is easily the best racing game I have ever played, especially with a wheel.

Didn't really play that. Underground 1 and 2 were my faves.

Got the fastest reasonably priced car time, but it's two seconds slower than the time I did about 10 minutes ago. Sadly that time I put just a tiny bit too much on the grass on the final corner and it made it a dirty lap. Going to take a while to get that fast again I should think.

Really enjoy rivals mode!

How do you take the photos of your car in the TG Studio?

jamesf · 15 Oct 2011 at 21:12

Change your home group in career mode then go into cars and take photo.

Perfect, Thanks buddy !

Damn those pictures are awesome. If I didn't know, and was only glancing I would have thought they were real life!

Vonhelmet · 15 Oct 2011 at 21:21

There's an achievement for taking a photo at every home site, I think.

Forza 4 is far far far superior to GT5.

Why do you think that?

Is it better then GT5

Pass. I've not played GT5.

Although I can tell you that Forza 4 has a metacritic rating of 91 while GT5 has a metacritic rating of 84.

Its still missing some things to make it "amazing". Needs night races with the option to turn on / off lights. Would be pretty cool if you could customise the interior aswell, Choose different seats, Add Boost Guages etc. The option to change the Exhaust tips would be sweet!

GT5 looks pretty. It's like seeing some really really hot girl in a club, strike up a conversation with her and she's as dull as dishwater.

The handing on the cars is ok, the sounds sound like nothing like the cars they represent, the AI is crap (driving round the track all together in a procession, yawwwn!) etc.

The flaws I've mentioned, Forza 4 does it a whole lot better and it's a lot more fun!

And I was a die hard GT fan! I loved GT4. Forza is now king.

Are the servers having trouble can't do much at the mo.

GravyMonster · 15 Oct 2011 at 22:36

Yeah, same. Can't get into leaderboards at all
