That ain't an opinion, it's hard fact. Shift takes forever to load, even installed to the HDD. I barely noticed the loading in the Forza demo I'm so used to it in Shift.

Try using a video resolution that's multiple of 16 both horizontally and vertically. It should help with this issue.Psychotext said:Ok, vid is up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI54UQ8yu10
Yes, the quality is shit, the colours are broken for some reason, and it's added wierd lines on the screen...

You can select someone on the leaderboard and race their ghost as well. Still will be unlimited laps.striKeVillain! said:Seriously, everyone needs to view the leaderboards before you start the race. Then click A to begin the race. Unlimited lap Time Trial. I got my time down to 1:03.602 with the help of my ghost. So fucking awesome.

but the last? are you serious? have you ever ridden in a car before?
this isn't oregon trail. (wagon)
Unless you're on a Sony Bravia. As a rule, 0 sharpness on every other LCD in the world = ~15-25 on a Bravia.SuperÑ said:Wow! Turning down sharpness to 0 is absolutely an improvement over jaggies. Do it!
Didn't feel like it to me, there seemed to be a noticeable improvement on FPS when playing with hood-cam vs cockpit view.Diablohead said:Cockpit is 60fps in this demo, wtf are you guys smoking :lol

h3ro said:Fuck. My 360 just E74'd.
AGHHHHHH. MICROOOSOFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
I was really enjoying the Demo. Setting times was really fun, I was up to 753rd with my GT3 time!
FRICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
rjcc said:It's always the website, especially since they don't send boxes anymore. If you have to play now and have spare cash, buy a new arcade at best buy, return it when yours comes back.
h3ro said:Thanks, I'll fill out the site stuff now, hope I get a Jasper back (wishful thinking, I Know)... Sorry for the derailing fellas, go back to your spoogefest. :/
I'm gonna miss the demo.
h3ro said:Ugh, the Dead 360 topic is useless. Help me out Internet friends...
Should I call MS or go through the website?
I just want the quickest way of getting back to the demo.
That's perfect. Nice one.Psychotext said:Ok, vid is up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI54UQ8yu10
Yes, the quality is shit, the colours are broken for some reason, and it's added wierd lines on the screen... and there's a trial software thing right in the middle. But you can see the GT3 spinning its wheels pretty much right up to the top of 1st gear:
All assists off, manual gears, AI on hard, sim damage.
I'd do another one to work out exactly where it stops your wheels spinning when you're rolling (seems to be about 15mph, depending if you're on a hill or not), but I'll leave it to someone who knows how to use their camera!
Slayer-33 said:I did NOT like the way you still take look around while in cockpit mode, (right analog stick to look around) in Dirt 2 the drivers pov tilts his head smoothly to the direction you look at, atm in this demo it's a direct instant look to where you move the stick to, I have always disliked this in the Forza series and it really bothers me, it totally detracts away from the near perfect delivery of the other aspects of the game.
I don't understand why they haven't fixed this right analog stick look around view bs since FM1..
BCD2 said:Shit, now I'm really doubting myself! All I did was jack it to the max "difficulty", and change the gearbox back to manual/no clutch.
I'm not home, so I can't confirm anything, but I'll happily take your words for it until I get back.
Previous impressions are without a doubt on hold.
o0 Conman 0o said:It seemed to take all of us controller users a few stints before we adapted to the new feel of the game but once we did, I think I can speak for all of us, we had no complaints whatsoever. I felt a much better feel for the car and how it was behaving around the circuit in comparison to FM2; In FM2, you can kind of point a car at the exit of a corner, gas it and it will go there; In FM3 you have to point the car through every inch of the corner, from turn in to before, during and after the apex. Smooth optimal lines are only accomplished with very precise steering and throttle input that will change through every inch of a corner. I expect that's basically what most of us think were doing when playing any racing game but I found it much more difficult to accomplish this in FM3. In FM2 driving an AWD car seems to be more point and shoot and you just cannot get away with that in this new game.
In short, the kind of aggressive driving that you can get away with in fm2 will not apply to FM3, just like it does not apply to real life. Smooth steering inputs and precision were the only ways to drive this Audi R8 fast. I suspect the differences between wheel user's tunes and controller user's tunes will be much more so than in Fm2.

Looks really nice.

Xbox about to croak?JRW said:The game will just start hitching / pausing every couple seconds while racing, the audio isn't affected. after about 10 seconds of this it stops doing it. then randomly starts up again. Seems to happen more often if I switch to cockpit view.
