here i am, spending too much time with no limits, and then [URL="http://m.imgur.com/a/wCeEa"]this came out of nowhere, my goodness[/URL]

[EddieLTU]

someone is spreading rumors that Forza 6 is confirmed to be released on pc. Super nerfed and to be free2play

[Checkeredjaz]

[URL="http://www.needforspeed.com/en_GB/news/game-update-hot-rods"]Need for speed is getting Hot rods (Including the ridiculous F1 Hot Rod concept by Aaron Beck), manual transmission, drag races and more garage space this thursday![/URL]

[Spectre1406]

speaking of nfs, has the supra got its trd3000gt bodykit yet?

[RedStar]

damn it

i just knew they were going to add drag races with manual but i didn't say anything about it, so now i can't say "i knew it"

[RobyYe]

I'm gonna have to get used to shifting, I've always used automatic on NFS (except U2) and with the very fast driving, I'm unsure whether I can keep up

[TheAdmiester]

So the free Forza 6 title is official which is amazing news on its own, but now they've confirmed that the future Forzas will be PC and Xbox titles.

Here's hoping for Forza Horizon 3, been wanting to play that game.

Eh, I don't expect much, seeing as they are tearing out a shit load of content and it's basically a demo, and no doubt they'll do what they usually do with things like this, sell massive amounts of the content as DLC in future titles and it'll be a super watered down version of forza to allow the arcade lovers to play. Not that simulation mod was ground breaking in Forza to start with compared to say RFactor 2 etc, but it was hella fun on it's hardest mode.

So if they make it super arcadey on PC. I'm not gonna be surprised.

(Yes I'm in a cynical mood today. I apologise.)

One things we've been missing from PC is a nice simcade game with customizable cars

Need for Speed is coming soon but the handling is worrying.

[QUOTE=Zombiespeed;49845437]Need for Speed is coming soon but the handling is worrying.[/QUOTE]

I'd say NFS is 101% an arcade game.

Even better if I can crossplay, or buy once and play on both.

[RobyYe]

I want cross platform to happen. Honestly.

Also NFS related, I think I did really really well on Macdermid's Mile.

Try to beat it, just try

[Drury]

The game seems great, but drifting looks so bland.

Speaking of Aaron beck, i hope they eventually add in a original challenger or cuda [URL="http://www.ebodies.blogspot.com/"]cause they got a ton of body kit options to choose from thanks to him[/URL]

I do too, and they have massively underused [URL="http://the--kyza.deviantart.com/gallery/"]Khyzyl Saleem's concepts[/URL], even though he was one of their main concept artists.

reminder that the 2nd half of our randomized league event has started.

[Rockeiro]

There's racing on the limit and then there's what ever that was.

[suXin]

Kit cars seem to be become more fun than they were on old physics, might even create another event on them later.
I was doing pretty good, had two outs, but the last finland stage fucking destroyed me, starting with roll and lost rear tire and ending up with two direct tree hits and also two blackouts, I think I lost about a minute.

not sure if I want to restart this

[BlackPearl]

Decided to give project Cars another go because when I first started playing it on release I kept getting random car crashes out of nowhere:

[video=youtube;F9yQVGXRkd8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9yQVGXRkd8[/video]

Turns out, It hasn't really changed...

[zombiespeed]

Aw suXin, I got so close to you, even if it was only because of the last stage that got me this close. I was indeed a whole minute ahead on that stage.
Turns out that turning all the assists off DOES help.

[merp]

I was close and nearly matching suxin on some stages but really fucked myself on one stage near the end and cost myself 3-4 mins. But that's rally and I wouldn't have it any other way :v:

I kept telling them to fix the godawful rollover physics but nobody listened to me.

[QUOTE=dustyjo;49873648]I kept telling them to fix the godawful rollover physics but nobody listened to me.[/QUOTE]

It's really annoying. Yesterday I was driving a perfect race and out of nowhere my car spun out of control and flew in the air.

[Hosenfuhrer]

I used to say that the 037 is impossible to drive in Sweden..

Apparently I was wrong.

[TheAdmiester]

Sweet Jesus, after a PC upgrade I can finally run DiRT at almost max settings and get a locked 144FPS, it's so ridiculously smooth I can almost touch it.

But in other related news, the Advanced Blending option still takes an entire 40FPS from me :v:

[Pyroknight]

How come I'm always spinning out even if I don't touch the steering in race room when I'm using controller?
