Anything similar to PGR is fine with me, loved those games
Forza 5 Announced
- Thread starter PraxxtorCruel
- Start date
PGR was certainly better than many racing games,did a TT comp on a forum that ran for weeks.
But those damned cone challenges! Grrrrrrrr

Are the microtransaction problems in this as big as the reviews make it out to be?
No, I've not had the urge to buy any DLC so far. The car selection out of the box is fine with me.
I've got around 50 odd cars,helped via the turn 10 rewards scheme on there forum,ie bout 5 mil credits and some cars so far,anyone who plays a reasonable amount doesn't need worry bout microtrans wotsits.
The limited edition for around 10 quid more is worthwhile as you get double the amount of cash as you rank up plus some tokens and cars.

Yup, I've had no urge to pay extra money so far. I may buy the season pass if I get into it more, but the money I got from Forza Rewards, plus the 50% weekend, means I currently have over 20 cars in my garage and nearly 1mil credits left. I've still got my 1350 tokens as well to buy things with if I need to.
No, the tokens are only there if you want to have cars instantly without racing to earn the credits for them.
I can earn around 250k credits for a 35 minute race, if i really need credits (50 laps of the Indy oval). But you earn plenty from racing as normal anyway.
Car packs aren't needed or worth buying until you have loads of spare credits to buy the cars with, or you really want some of the cars in them.
This time round i'll buy the packs i want when they reduce the price next year. Or if they actually release the super pass, i might just buy that if is is a good discount on the car pass + track pass..
I think i have about 30 cars but haven't even used or tuned half of them yet. (thanks to the reward program & 50% off last weekend, about 11 million credits worth of cars)
VIP is worth getting for the extra Rivals, 5 cars (the Cobra, Yellowbird and 787b are must haves for me), 2x driver level reward each time (31k instead of 15k) & the gift cars Turn 10 send out every now and again. I also got 1250 free tokens as i bought the VIP download the first day when it was worded to include the tokens in error.
Driveclub is being developed by Evolution Studios (D.I.D and Psygnosis) whereas PGR was developed by Bizarre Creations. Im not aware of any overlap/involvement of old PGR team onto Driveclub. Evolution Studios are responsible for the Motorstorm and WRC Playstation games, which doesn't bode well for a track racing game, imo.

Lol, we need to get some clips uploaded of everyone's Drivatars, I'd love to see mine and see how well he drives compared to me
I can tell you now, he's usually around the back of the pack when I'm racing him, seems to be quite fair too.

Bah, need to get him trained up to win races, I get gold on every race now so he's obviously not watching properly

IIRC I'm at 35% at the mo, but I'm considering upping it.
Blimey!...That could turn out like some love child from an all night orgy involving,nfs,flatout,burnout and ridge racer
Could prove very popular

I upped it yesterday for a few races but it felt like quite a big jump, ended up finishing 4th-5th a lot - the big problem I found was unless you get ahead early on in the game with a good start it becomes impossible to catch up with the leaders
I've asked this before but not really got to the bottom of it - are there no longer races in career? All the ones I have entered so far have been 2-3 laps
Pretty sure they picked up some BC talent when they went kupat after Blur - quite a few ex-PGR people are now at Evolution Studios - Ged Talbot for sure...

RUF yellowbird A class tune added & all other A & S class tunes now on version 2.
v2 = Quicker turn in, less drift on full power coming out of corners, increase brake pressure.
Indy car Oval is now on v2 as well, more turn in grip, i can run easy consistent 39.2's with that tune (currently ranked 51).
I also changed my advanced controller setting for maximum travel on steering, brakes & accelerator.
details here --> Tunes & Settings
I think other than cars i tune for the championship's, i'll be racing and tuning A & S class mostly in this game.
