j_jza80 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 1 word, epic. Graphics are stunning, sound is stunning. I was blasting round Spa in a Ferrari earlier, V8 singing away, its a classic for sure. Seems to be less cars but no doubt DLC will solve that. That's the business model with most games now. Hopefully that will mean the initial price will go down (or be free like War Thunder on PS4), but I doubt it for top tier games like this.

DodgyRog Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Very happy with Forza Only played with a GT86 so far, all assits off except ABS The feedback from the controller really helps you feel what the car is doing The thing that has really impressed me is the cars you race against, they really do drive a lot more like other people, no sticking exactly to racing lines, they make mistakes and they are very well matched to you So far very impressed, graphics are good, although the crash damage model sucks big time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Good to hear there going well guys . My mate said his is much like 360 Graphics, it will be sometime before we see the games really take shape. Regrading reliability with PS4 is a small number with the actual amount they have sold (alot more than xbox, they sold over a million PS4's in the 1st 24hrs). The BLOD is because if the HDMI ports. Apparently its actually an easy fix. Its a bit of metal thats lifted and need bending down (in the actual port) with a pin so the HDMI cable to fully go in. Lucky enough the European market will be getting there PS4's from a Japanese factory not the Chinese factory were they were apparently sabotaged by interns that were worked over time and massively underpaid.. One the plus side with the Yanks having the PS4 1st they have beta tested it all for us and all bugs fixed ready for us to buy hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Had my xbox one delivered earlier and loving it so far. Forza is amazing. Mine came with Fifa (download code) but i'll never play it. If anyone fancies it they can have it for £20. I'll put it on ebay otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Forza is brilliant. Loving it so far. The GT86 is very fun to drive, also have a Supra and an S15 so far. The events plus bonus races do seem to drag on for each one. Graphics are amazing and detailing on the Supra is just outstanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, driveatars, great idea, a model of your driving style out in the ether, racing on your behalf and earning you points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The PS4 failure rate is under 1%, and I suspect you'll find the Xbox will be similar. Considering the number of both consoles being sold, that is quite a feat. http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/20/5125266/ps4-failure-rate-gets-revised-to-under-1-percent I don't know what the failure rate was on the early Xbox 360s, but it must have been 50%. EVERYONE that I know who had an early xbox 360 (including myself) had to send it for repair within the warranty period. One friend had it done 3 times within the warranty, another had it done twice. These are complicated machines. you will probably find more than 1% for the xbox 3 of my friends stuck with microshaft and had the new xbox ones, all 3 playing up. enjoy 720p also ontop of that a girl who i know, their kinect is messing up and they will have to replace the whole console so thats 4 people i know who has them and they are not working right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 You mean like PS4 as well yeah? more problems for the xbox ! you will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 more problems for the xbox ! you will see Some major problems and with the network aswell in areas (or something) A world wide release was a brave attempt (even with 1/2 the amount of orders of the PS4) Sony were smart and released one area 1st. Almost so the system can be tested, tried and fixed for any bugs... Sonow the 1.51 updates is out its all spot on Thanks Yanks for guinea pigin the system. I hope the poor gits get the xbox's sorted though. Alot of money just to be wasted.. Maybe they will offer the same as Sony did, next day delivery... But this is Microsoft.. There no doubt will be a charge... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a console on release is a pretty bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Dunno really, of all the people on my friends list about ten have an Xbone and none have had any problems so far. All new consoles will have issues, same thing happened last time round with both of them. Reckon I might wait until after crimbo. Jan sales ftw!

YLOD was later on and due to a faulty batch. The release of the 360 was a nightmare. Shoe seems to be on the other foot this time, but only time will tell.

JDukesy Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Jealous of the people with the new Forza! Some of the things that have stood out for me: I love the look of the new engine swaps - LS1 swapped RX7s and s13s etc. Graphics look amazing and new paints look great - at last carbon fibre paint! Painting engine bays Loads of custom wheel paints Apparently the physics are great Bathurst track looks awesome! Can't wait to get my hands on an it around Christmas time, hopefully by then a few of the bugs will be sorted out and they will have released some more content as from reading the forums it looks like there is going to be lots more to come....although that does mean more money Thought I might edit this after more reading I have been a little put off, now I don't have the game so feedback from people who do would be great but it seems that micro transactions are being pushed to the point where some people are saying it is on the model of the free to play pay to win style games but with a £50 initial price tag!! Apparently the top cars are as much as £30 real money???? Surely this can't be? If someone with the game could shed some light that would be good as if this is true I will seriously be reconsidering any purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I don't know how people with extra XBox one consoles are planning to make money from them, I know two people who have been out today and just picked them up in stores on an impulse. PS4 is sold out until after Xmas now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Loving the Xbox one. Voice commands take a bit of getting used to.

Ross C Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Anyone playing battlefield 4 on xbox one ? What's your thoughts ?? Not been a huge fan of it. Played about 5 online games and just cannot get into it like Halos and the CODs of old. I've barely been off Forza as a result. ANYONE WITH FORZA 5 > Add my gamertag "Ross C 2jz" to add some competition with track laptimes in career mode and also for the future reference to get online races within the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay to win/enjoy games are for greedy companies, shouldn't be allows IMO. They're already charging more for Xbox one and ps4 games new than 360/ps3 games... For what? I've seen nothing better than a 360 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
