Please!

Finally getting some time off at the end of the month. Going to pick this game up and have a week long xbox session.

Showers and food optional!

See you all on the digital tarmac!

It's such a fun game, trying to lay down 960hp on a RWD Supra, in the wet, with no TC is err... a challenge. It wheelspins in 4th

[walsh]

Twin turbo SRT viper is pretty mental. 1100HP Ish, even with tall gearing and wide, racing slicks, Spins in third to over 100mph.

Good for ultimate burnouts though.

What is the fastest people have achieved through a speed trap so far? I have had 226mph on the airfield, not sure what to get to improve on that. :/

[celicawrc]

Thinking of buying this game, but just a few questions to people who already have it:

1) Can you turn the awful radio stations off?
2) Can you have your own playlist running in the background?
3) Can you skip past the annoying twunt who keeps talking and wasting racing time?
4) Can you skip past all the festival crap?

Thanks.

I've got about 230 on the speed trap on the airfield in the Supra, That was with me coming onto it at about 60 and caning it up, and braking heavily after the trap. I'll have to check.

PS.

Does anybody else have it when the (I guess) bloke is chatting, but you hear nothing at all, yet music, engine, and everything else come through fine?
I am using a sound system, if that's any difference.

1) Can you turn the awful radio stations off?
Yes, yes you can.

2) Can you have your own playlist running in the background?
Not as far as I am aware.

3) Can you skip past the annoying twunt who keeps talking and wasting racing time?
No, and he is annoying, though he does kind of shut up of his own volition after a few races. Will still jump in as a voiceover sometimes, but only to tell you to win the next race for the championship, blah blah etc.

4) Can you skip past all the festival crap?
There isn't much to worry about anyway.

[kowalski655]

^ this
you can ignore the festival stuff.
And the classical station is good,no idea what DJ is saying though

[Chicken Chaser]

You can adjust Audio settings if you don't want to know what's going on around festival stuff etc. Just put the TV up loud with car sound only and put a stereo on in the background. Sorted

LGood game but lacks the magic of the first. Drive club is also not as bad as some reviews

271mph through the airfield runway speedtrap in the Alfa 33 stradale at X999 running 1100+hp and 4wd. Not cheap tho, 1.4m credits for the car plus mods (1.5m if you don't have the discount perk)

[MrChips]

265mph through the camera in the tunnel in the VenomGT took a couple of goes. Top speed of 271 was fun for about 20seconds as well.

Is anyone else having trouble with the sound..specifically the speech from any character is now silent. I've tried all the options in the menus so I gues it might be a TV set up thing but it was working initially.

Lacks the magic of the first? Wow! That's not a good review....

[sc0tt]

Whats the cost of the car pack?

[kowalski655]

£4. IIRC,worth it for the Jag alone

DRIVECLUB is shockingly bad.

It's Real Racing on the iPad but with a controller. My first thoughts were its ok, then it's alright but now after playing it for even longer. It's guff.
Not next gen in any way shape or form. So hard resisting the urge to buy a Xbone and Horizon 2.

[kowalski655]

At least Project Cats is out next month,and the Crew in December....although that is more arcade like,who can resist a 90 minute race NY-LA

[Mr Whippy]

I'm liking the look of this game, but not sure if it's worth the £££ for XboxOne, £££ for a decent wheel that'll work with it, and then ££ for the game itself?!


Oh for a TDU 3 that is more like TDU 1 and without all the silly back-story crap, but looks like FH2
