They sure are, we all knew from the start what this game would be like/about...it's not even out yet and nobbers are moaning.

hehe

Yet I'll bet you a soapy tenner all the moaning nobbers WILL be buying it and playing it within a month of it hitting the shelves.


It's going to be brilliant yes

YMMV etc., but when I went in to pick up my pre-order for the regular version of FM4 at GAME last year, they asked if I wanted to upgrade it to the LCE version (this was my first car game, so to my regret I turned it down).

That said, this year I took no risk and pre-ordered the LCE version online smile
Stupid question but what does YMMV mean?

Nah, the game'll be great, just I'd rather listen to my music than the MTV pop.

Forza is the only game I play on my xbox and I liked TDU, so looking forward to this. Even if the game isn't perfect it's not exactly a lot of money, quite considerably cheaper than a night out...

I'll probably not buy it if damage is only cosmetic as suggested, that's pretty much my only reason not to buy it.

The trouble these games have is what happens if you damage your car on the open road.

How do they make a realistic way of getting back to the pits/garage?

I always remember GT saying you couldn't roll your car as they couldn't think of a way to get you right way up.

Never really got the gripes about lack of realistic damage, if your car is knackered, you retire and watch the rest finish the race..

That would bore me to death. Crash the car in a spectacular display, before calling the RAC/AA a few times over the next four hours to find out where they are? Perhaps it makes sense in a GTA style games where you can get out a steal another car?

On the subject of excellent crashes, Beam NG is worth a look. http://www.beamng.com

Last one revealed yesterday, more to come today.

I hated the realistic damage on 4 anyway, as was said above, you wreck, and then thats it..limp back to the pits. There are no pits on Horizon, and how are you going to limp back to the festival from the middle of a desert or whatever if you wreck?

Only cosmetic damage was mentioned somewhere on the thread. Probably for the best :/

yeah i dont really see much point in being able to just destroy your car in the middle of nowhere because it would be too much like burnout style.

Is this going to be worth buying an xbox for. One of the things I hate about gt5 is there is no soul in most the engine noises.

yes If it sounds anything like forza 4 then yes.

I agree about the sound on GT5, it is the only thing that lets the game down imho frown
