    I can most definitely do without that music in the replay. It's pretty though...

    Ugh, the voiceovers are horrible! Is it their job to state the fucking obvious?! - "Okay dude, you're in first place, you just need to stay there and you'll win the race"

    Or perhaps its intended for people who suffer from persistent temporary blindness incase they black out mid-race?

    They also say "You'll have to pass {leader's name} if you want to win!"

    I think they're targeting the cognitively impaired North American market there.

    It's a crime not to use the in-car view in that beautiful Koenigsegg :).

    Well, to each their own of course, I'm just happy that properly modelled interiors is starting to become commonplace even in arcade racers (and console racers in general for that matter, leaving them out of Forza 2 was damn near unforgivable for a game that is - along with the GT series - the closest thing you get to a racing sim on consoles).

    whaaaattt? none of you gentlemen yearn for Namco style "that chump is on your butt!"
    ha ha, but Mr.Monkey king is right, Codemasters want very much to break the us market as all their other supreme racers were very much unappreciated.

    Doesnt look like you really need to take a good line to win... I like more realistic (Forza2) stuff.

    Meh...

    and yeah, annoying voices "steer left if you want to turn left, mate"

    Change view so you see the car :p

  • themorganator #8 4 years ago

    This is nothing on Forza

    "This is nothing on Forza"

    Well, thank fuck for that. And thank fuck it's nothing like the equally tedious Gran Turismo either.

    Damn this game is pretty... I think I might give this a try.
    Before that though, gotta check in the demo if you can turn off those crap voice overs.

    bumper cam is t3h 1337.

    also, be number one to win.

    It'd be neat if they'd route that pit-crew chatter stuff over the headset if it was connected.
