I've just re-read this thread from start to finish.

Do most of you guys use c0ckpit view then? I've never liked it on any driving game (except for F1 on PS2), always prefer Bumper/Bonnet type veiw.

Also what controls do most of you use? I've tried a few different ones but went back to standard. I know some guys used the shoulder buttons inverted for gears. They can change down with their right trigger finger while braking with their left and vice versa. I tried this but couldn't get on with it. Ideally I'd like the setup I used to use on GT4 (Left stick for steering, Right stick accellerate/Brake, Right shoulder button to shift up, left to shift down)but this wasn't possible on Forza 2.

Ordered my copy off tesco, has NOT turned up today, even though they sent it on tuesday and I had post through the door today!
MAJOR FAIL!
ASDA at midnight it is!

What versions of the game are people buying? Worth shelling out the extra £ for the Limited Edition? I'm not fussed about the online 'status' you recieve just the extra liveries.

Or just buy the regular game?

 

[Alex H]

If you don't know what the LCE contains, you may as well just buy the normal game

 

[Adam]

I rammed a Twingo off the road, it felt goooooood

Has anyone noticed how the AI sometimes randomly brakes too late and then goes steaming into a tyre wall.. watched a Focus do that last night, with no pressure from me

+1 on both counts lol

 

[JB]

Just read the description. So the extra cars are not available in the standard edition? LCE it is then...

 

[minismithy90]

Looks like i will be goin to tesco or asda at midnight tonite

 

[sofaboy]

Are we going to get some games up for the next 2 nights?

TBH I usually use the chase cam, so I can see what's going on around me. Always a tried and tested method in racing games down the years, all the way back to Chase HQ and Top Gear.

C*ckpit view is good, though.

 

[jez4130]

My copy just turned up! hand delivered by a bloke in a focus! Next stop nurbergring!

Amateur it's a driving simulator or a remote control car simulator. Much more involving if you use the cockpit view IMO.

 

[Turkish]

Don't get me started on chase cam, we already give stumpy a hard time for using it.

 

[Clart]

scutch was joking right?

chase cam? GTF

 

[Scutch]

 

[Cookie]

WTF is chase cam? All I see is cockpit

 

[Chrisjk]

Damn i wish i'd preordered

 

[Chris V6 255]

Just picked up my copy from Game Exchange
Installing disc 1 seems to be taking ages........ 67%

 

[Rhino172]

PMSL! Just shot home for lunch. Opened the front door and found a package waiting. Picked it up in excitment, flet a bit small for what I was expecting....under neath the package was a "we tried to deliver" note. My bro also pre ordered from play but not the LCE so he has his and I have to go get mine tomorrow lol

so much for the post strike!

 

[Turkish]

Took mine ages I also found out my 60gb HD was full! lol. Didnt realise I had so much s**t on it until last night!

 

[Scutch]

My game seemed to install pretty quickly, TBH.

 

[Cookie]

My 120 only has about 35 gig left on it..

 

[micallef1990]

left analogue stick for steering,
left and right triggers for accel/brake
and the right analogue stick for gears

Yeah, similar figures here.

 

[CocoPops]

How are you guys getting on?

I'm on Driver Level 19 currently.

 

[Turkish]

Progress was halted for me so I'm not that far in. My mate took up residence on my sofa for several hours last night and we were taking turns free running.

Some more pics this time one of the Blackjack guys.

 

[Cookie]

Think I'm at driver level 7 or 8

 

[CocoPops]

Right, so where can I find the airfield? I've downloaded everything... where is it! lol

 

[Cuppa]

Anybody ordered this from Play?

Pretty nervous with all this postal strike malarky, does anybody know who they use?

***goes off and prays to God that it is in the post box when he get's home***

me and my bro.

both delivered today (although mine was LCE so didn't fit through the box so I have to collect it tomorrow)

As long as you have entered both the codes that came with the game it is easiest to get to it would be free run...think it is the 2nd track along...and I think the best is layout A but tbh I haven't been on them all yet

Cheers

Chris

 

[Cuppa]

Cheers.

Literally want to go an ask my boss to let me out early so I can go and get it!

Shouldn't have opened this thread, i am like a kid at bloody Christmas now

 

[Turkish]

Oh dear, didn't take long did it.....

 

[Chris n nic]

Dissapointed by the sound of the 22B. Thought it would be louder

They aren't loud as standard. My P1 was relatively quiet with stock Prodrive exhaust system.

Hopefully a decent exhaust system might sort it out. Got it all wired up to 5.1 surround sound. Loving life!
