Most of my local gamestops have the limited edition listed as "low stock" Anyone had luck grabbing one at gamestop without a pre-order?

They did such a great job with Bathurst. It may be lighter on content, but this game is top notch.
I picked one up at TRU. There were two in the case

The controller makes all the difference for me. I'm absolutely loving the rumble feedback. It's my first real "next gen" experience.

For those who need it/haven't found it whatever.... to uninstall, you have to go to the games & apps section, press the menu button (start button) and the uninstall option is available... Trying that now to see if it fixes my current forza crash problem

This is not what I wanted to hear. I was on the fence about this title... And I still am. It really seems like a mixed bag. It sounds like it's not a really complete game.
...What do I do Gaf?! I think I might hold off till it drops in price...

Yeah. It just looks much different than the other footage we've seen.
Instantly brought back to mind this roll in the same sandtrap.

Often you'll have to go to the start of a race and quit back to the showroom. From there, press the menu button.
Man, I could have sworn I looked there before. It's there when I look now.
Good luck.
If Dr Pleb gave you a choice of a wheel, or 10 Aussie classics - which would you take?

Is there no way to listen to XBOX Music in game, other than to snap the music app to the side while playing?
Unsnapping stops the music... Wtf!

I think even without the 'pay for shortcuts' they were going to take out affinity bonuses. People complained - probably rightly so - that it made customization fairly trivial in Forza 4. Build up your affinity, which felt like it happened way too quickly, and you could get any parts you wanted.
You had the ability (and the prompts) for buying tokens to unlock cars in past games. I don't see why it's suddenly such a contentious issue.

Mine doesn't list any stock but it's right next to the stop so I'll give it a try in the morning. Thanks!
After a day with the game, I'd say my main negatives are :
- clear lack of content
- evident attempt of monetisation everywhere
- free play mode : they add levelling and all but remove all cars playable even though when you rent a car, you actually don't get rewards...
- small design decisions that look like they forgot something : when you finish a race in the series, you have to go to the next one to quit the series, you can't quit directly at the end of one race or you can't take photos while racing in rivals, you have to finish the race and watch the replay to get the photo mode
I can only hope that their scheme to monetise doesn't work and they get their things together for the expansions/future games.
One thing for sure, they really nailed the materials. I hope the 250 GTO can be fully explored as well.
More here.

I know dead rising support it. I picked up a handgun and the triggers started vibrating after shooting the gun

Thanks, with that naming I was actually worried the game made you pay credits to use those cars in free play.
I also noticed all the empty boxes at the end of the track listing.
Um, I'll play with a Colecovision controller if it meant 10 Aussie classics!
Seriously Turn 10, next announcement better be that my cars are coming...
I love the little car bios in the game. Very nice!
Also, the manual revving in vista.
In a word, No!
I tried yesterday at my brothers, and asked in the main Xbox thread, apparently it is something not write finished at launch.
And the other little thing I noticed is if you want to really see the full brunt of next gen graphics, use bumper cam, the task detail is sublime and you really appreciate the increased texture resolution.
I was going to put off buying FM5 out of protest of paid first day DLC and paying for tracks later on when some should be given as a freebie for loyal fans, amongst other things, but I'm glad I bought it. The changes in driving model and AI actually make it a better single player game than FM4 in my opinion, despite the lack of content. Also, it's the best racing game I've every played with a controller - those impulse triggers are all I hoped they would be.
(edit) Dammit - I just checked the cars in that car pack. 1987 Sierra Cosworth RS500
Fuck I'm so torn.

Personally I would chose 1080p every time. It is required for optimal image quality.

Maybe it's because I've only really played a bit of Forza 3, but this game is brilliant...
So far I actually like that you're not constantly changing cars. I've played for about 90 mins and have only driven 3 cars, but that means I get to spend time in each really learning how they handle.
Driving the Ariel Atom at the moment. What a fun car...
Hope I can own one, one day. Maybe when I'm old and retired! Haha

until you find a way to turn off profile switching, try turning off kinect from the menu? i think that would fix the help-my-kid situation
ps
oh boy, the wait until monday to receive mine...... FUCKING UNBEARABLE...!
you guys fix me up with details, pics and vids.. I feel like a crackhead out of moonshine here
I tried to do splitscreen an hour ago. Had both controllers connected, went to Free Play, it showed a car for me (player one) and an empty box for Player 2 saying "Press =(I don't know the name of the button) to join in". Every time we hit the button all it did was go back to the main menu, this was the same if I hit the button on my controller as well. Looked around in options and found nothing that would affect this.
Is splitscreen non accessible for everyone or was my game just experiencing a bug?

Even in the first picture of the 787B with the crowd so out of focus, you can see the same people standing there, disinterested and looking at something non-specific but likely not anything to do with auto racing. I'm still blown away that they couldn't even get people who would look like they'd go watch some cars tough it out... they look like they picked people with the most primary-colour clothes (for easy palette-swapping) from a shopping centre and took photos of them.
You mention that some of the cars in Forzavista don't have trunks/bonnets that can be opened... is there anything obvious that indicates some cars have been redone and some are touched up from FM4? I'm curious if there's a noticeable or even a subtle (yet definite) difference.
Edit: Never mind, I read the rest of what you wrote. One question though: Is the 22B in it, and if so is it still the same model they've had since FM3 (or even 2)?
Yes... yes... keep doing that. Because as soon as you start working on liveries, I won't be able to restrain myself from buying a One and FM5.Me feelings with the game so far ....

I've noticed the AI has a nasty habit of jumping in front of me and slamming on the brakes to go into a corner I can normally just lift off to go around, even if there's penty of room on the track. This usually results in damaged aero, brakes and suspension for me. Kinda annoying.
I just bought the Ariel Atom V8 and it's basically a bunch of races with all them, which is fun, but fuck it's hectic. You should hear a group of them going through the tunnel in the Burmese Alps.

Can someone check if the scuff marks on tyres from the E3 reveal (ACTUAL IN-GAME FOOTAGE) made it into the final game? It was the little details like this (along with marbles on the track, metal-fleck orange-peel paint, small stone chips on headlight lenses etc) that made FM5 seem so impressive back in June.

you probably just need to log in a second player - go to your profile icon where you signed in and sign in a guest using the second controller

Also, I think i read somewhere that those McLaren tires looked wet because you can apply polish to them. I must have missed that option

Why LOL? Has anyone checked? The cars pick up dirt and insect mush during races, so the tyres might scuff. It was featured prominently in the reveal trailer. Did marbles on track make the cut? Do these get dislodged by cars like in Shift?

No idea on the tires themselves, but there are live marbles are on track. They are, however, not dynamic.
I posted this in the photo thread, I made a custom combination of green paint with yellow flecks(..or the other way round...) in it. If you look closely at the front bumper you can see it.
Just did a quick check - went into photo mode, took a snap of the tire on the starting line and did a couple of slidy laps and did another pic. Look exactly the same. Saying that, the tires look road used at the beginning of the race on the actual tread.
I tried taking a photo while the car was spinning it's wheels to see if any bits were flying off, but the shutter speed only goes to 1/100, so it was all a blur anyway. Unless I'm missing something, you can't freeze the action with a fast shutter speed. I can't remember if FM4 was like that.
Sadly, 22B still looking wonky :/
Yeah, but it's wonky from the ground up.
But theres no such thing as good Australian Classic Cars worthy of Forza, so you will be waiting for awhile.
