Forza vs GT

Get a room you guys!

Get out of here dragon!

That is the most retardedly un-Top Gear, Top Gear-themed car pack ever. You'd think it came from Polyphony (hay-ohhh!). No seriously, what the fuck do a Jeep, a ForTwo, a Pacer and an SRT8 have to do with Top Gear? I mean considering how much shit Chryslers get on the show that SRT8 makes zero sense. So does that Jeep FFS, a Land Rover would've made sense... but, a Jeep? ... The fudge...?

You don't think about 70% of those cars when you think about Top Gear. Where's the fast cars, or hell, the moderate hot hatches, the much-maligned Morris Marina, or anything Hammond's driven on that show... Like.. EVER.

German driver Sabine Schmitz once bet that she could beat Jeremy Clarkson's Nurnburgring lap time (in a Jaguar) driving a van. If I remember correctly she missed it for a few seconds.

I agree about the rest though, not great.

If you set the disc near your 360, does that give a small credibility boost? Also, how long does the disc need to be in your machine before you get the full credibility boost?

Well..... ISR payed it for 4 months before their review and they stil weren't credible so I'm guessing it's going to take a while

To be fair to Jeremy his Jaguar was a diesel

Just a little reminder that today

For Gran Turismo we have the launch of the 2012 GT Academy competition. A free download off the PSN that will give you a series of challenges over the next 8 weeks giving the winner a chance to drive for Nissan in the 2013 24 hour Dubai endurance race.

For Forza you can buy a Ford Transit van and a Smart Fortwo as part of the Top Gear DLC

well.....certainly both cool in their own way....
One game gives you the chance to become a real race car driver.......the other gives you the chance to drive a Ford transit van

[DaveS1138]

apparently over 63,000 people entered in just the first 24 hours driving over 2 million virtual miles.

You also get prizes that unlock within GT5 for matching the various times. For example if you beat the gold times in the first two rounds you get a Nissan Leaf and Nissan Silvia although it's not clear if these are just new liveries of the existing cars.

was finally able to tear myself away from ME3 multi on 360 to play some .......forza 4!
runs very well, framerate is 100% rock solid. graphics and cockpit view are less than i expected however. overall presentation is great, load times suck. music is awful, but that's easily rectified.
i'd be completely addicted if it had support for my wheel like my other gaming platforms

what's that smell? oh yeah, credibility


still refusing to play GT5

[Indy_aka_Rex]

You just hoped you would get AIDS ????

It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make in order to get this thread to die.
(It's not really a sacrifice though, Bill Gates has the cure and all loyal Xbot's are already innoculated)
