I'm curious if they'll have the Top Gear and/or Isle of Mann tracks in the game.

 

They do have the TG track yes.

 

If I like the car list, I might get it.

But Forza just bores me. I don't want drive some obscure tuned Nissan Skyline that handles like a cinder block around the same 10 closed race tracks over and over again. Not fun for me. I don't care how realistic it is, I care about fun. I like a lot of different game modes, different tracks and environments, and a lot of different exotics, not just same Veyron, Murcielago, etc. Project Gotham 4 and Test Drive Unlimited 2 are my favorite racers for the 360, but ideally, early NFS (2SE and High Stakes) is the standard any racing game has to be for me to truly like it.

Yeah its been mentioned before. There are 3 or 4 fm4 threads here when it comes out we can ask a mod to merge them all.

I preordered mine a few weeks ago to get the limited edition version

No Porsche thanks to EA exclusive

 

Wow; that's crazy.

 

I just saw this in the news. What a bummer. EA's racing games have been really bad. I really wanted to like NFS Shift 2 but I just couldn't get into it. The control was horriable. It might be time to stop buying EA products.

 

I am not sure how much i will use this AutoVista feature. It might be fun if you are 12 years old but giving how every car is pretty well detailed with REAL pictures on the internet, why bother?

 

achievement list has been leaked....

You need a kinect to 1k it


They do have an achievement for us

 

Oh God I can't wait for this. I think I may pick up a Kinect just for it. I'm so sick of being completely let down with games I wait forever for, I'm talking to you TDU2 and F1 2010.

 

I sold my xbox and all the games last year, spent too much time on it. this makes me want to buy another, but I am going to wait for the next system.

 

You will be waiting until at least (minimum) of Holiday 2013, and more likely sometime in 2014. If Halo 4 is going to be released Holiday 2012; I'd say there is likely to be 5 released in 2013 before 6 is breaking new grounds on the 4D mind interface controller, and glasses-less 3d, as seen in the movie Jaws 19; slated for release in October of 2015

Great stuff. My pre-teen son has pre-ordered a copy too...but...he just got the "red ring of death" this morning.

Sure hope it can be saved/fixed cheaply; I don't wanna buy a new system.

 

is it still within the warranty limits? if not then the repair cost probably won't be far off from the cost of a new system. i've had the luck of my system breaking down within the warranty limits so it was replaced twice without any costs.

 

What's the warranty on these things, a year? I don't recall when the 360 came out but my son got his shortly after they did so I gotta believe the warranty is expired (and I never buy the ext'd warranties).

That said, he thinks he can switch hard drive with his brother's little used 360 so we'll try that first. I assume he knows about this from xBox videos/online chats; I'm clueless...I'm a player, not a fixer.

 

Over here they're 2 years. But it seems like your son has everything under control lol
