The game will be awesome. . . so we're really looking forward to getting 4 whole hours with this one come the 25th Feb.
I certainly hope so too, as it would just round out the game beautifully ... Many games need bots in them, and they certainly need split screen capabilities.
Even with the games becoming physically interactive, such as Playstation's"Arc" and the 360's "Project Natal", there is a need for split screen, and the ability to play with bots . . .
Definitely agree 110% there mate.
Too many developers are caught up in the wonders of online MP .. yet forget there is a huge market that does not want that level of involvement.
Notice the games that include the split screen and the bots do really good sales when compared to those that do not offer that. The article shows some very good examples of that . . .
Yes please!!!!
I prefer to play against them than half the idiots that infest XboxLIVE fro instance.
At least you have a fighting chance of playing a decent game, providing the developer has done their work properly.
Not everyone wants to play with mindless twits online, not everyone wants to submit their families to those people as well, especially if it may include a younger member of the family playing the game.
Bots server a greater purp...
Which is why we believe all DLC should be reviewed, and why we started doing it with earlier DLC for Forza 3. Plus we have done it with other DLC in other games and have one coming for the new Borderlands DLC.
Gamers need to know if the DLC that is available is of value to THEM. As each gamer is different, and their requirements from DLC are different.
I believe the next DLC for Forza 3 will have some surprises in it, so we'll keep you posted on that with news as we...
Yes quite true, The first 3 were great, and adding the 8 V8 Supercars were also an excellent addition, but asking for 400 MSP for just 2 tracks, shihch give the average player 2 laps, and only offering one direction, when they could have offered the tracks in reverese, as PGR3 did, then that's just too much.
Hopefully, with complaints to Turn10 on their forums and through pushing as a group, racers can have Turn 10 up the normal laps from just 2 to say 5 or even 10, and ideally w...
it sure is, as while the country side of the track known as The 'Ring is made up of bends, twists, dips and corners etc, plus there's such a variety of elevations that creates a tense driving condition.
To then switch to the almost flat, mathematically created high speed track like the Nurburgring GP circuits is a difficult thing. As the two types of tracks are miles apart in their style of racing.
It makes the GP circuits very demanding, and takes several laps to ...
Love the clever icon/avatar image mate.
Well youcan use the tracks for online, and have any number of laps, but it can only be online . . .the whole point of forza 2/3 is not just online multiplayer, it's about racers beating others times and working their way up leaderboards. This is not achieved in online races where you have to deal with traffic etc. You need numerious laps to slowly chip down the times as you learn to cut the corner without going off the track and uncertifyin...
basically, fo rwhat it is, it would have suited them better as a PR thing to simply add the tracks as a Free DLC as some developers do for smaller items that are only of use to a limited number of end users.
If it was an major item that was then enabled into any of the SP sections, then yes, the 400 points would or could be justified.
But for what it is, I'd have expected it to be a Free DLC . . .Especially considering that at launch, they gave around 10 tracks away ...
Technically the track feels great, as do the cars when you get them on it, and handle very well for each class, but there's no way to really judge it give that there's really only one flying lap to do any real racing on.
Not sure if you have played the game yet, but I can vouch for the fact that if you're serious about your racing, be it circuit or drift or drag, thegame delivers.
No, it's NOT a full sim, but it's a bloody good second place, and every car in the gam...
Like you've played it - not (probably not) ..The game is great, this DLC is not . . simple as that.
Yep, definitely save your points mate, I just got the PR blurb on the pack this morning, and I love the little bit where it goes on about how you can take advantage of your skill and the track and win the checkered flag. How can you do that in 2 laps, when one of those laps is a standing start anyway.
"Demanding technical precision while offering tremendous opportunities for overtaking rival cars, the “Nürburgring Grand Prix Circuit Track Pack” will show who has the det...
When you're 'racing' you're certainly not looking at the scenery mate lol. . and while some might think that boring, or boring to go around the same track, i suppose that makes the difference between a racer and one who is not. Real racers in the real-world know every track they drive on right down the the last kink or broken edge of every meter of the circuits they race on.
They certainly are not there to stop halfway through the race and have a picnic or drop into a store and ...
It's the same as reviewing the cars that race on the tracks mate.
WIthout tracks, we have no races. If the tracks are not good reproductions of the original ones, then the game is of no value to any racer.
The other DLC's have been great, supplying 30 cars so far, including the launch pack which also had several 'additional' tracks.
These tracks were then included into the game alongside the other 90 tracks, giving the game a total of 100 tracks made up ...
Love this game, and how well they did the both platforms rather than try and make one to fit all . . .
The write up clearly shows how well they did both the PC and the 360 version . . shame there will be no PS3 version, as Bioware were asked again last week, and they said flatly that there was no PS3 version in the works - period.
When you check out the PC v's 360 images, there's bugger all in them really, and for the money, the 360 version is the best way to go in m...
It's now almost impossible for any publisher to push any developers games when others are not fronting on the shelves. EA had 55 games releases last year alone, add all the other major publishers, then the middle level ones, and you can see already that the market is saturated with games of all descriptions.
Picking your time to release is a difficult one, especially if there's several $USMil tied up in promotions and distributions, let alone the development and publishing of a g...
gamers like yourself are the reason the industry is slipping behind with new IP's.
How do YOU know the game will not be any good. Have you played, definitely not, as the game has been under media embargo until this week.
Have you seen it first hand, probably not. Many games are based on books and many have not done all that well as printed material.
This game is very similar, yet different to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series and is well worth the effort it tak...
I think it will be the latter myself. Sad though, as it's titles like this that make gaming great . .well presented, different storyline, very atmospheric and real to its location. All the signs and posters etc in the game on walls, directions etc are all in Russian or Ukraine, giving the feeling of complete immersion.
I'd rather a game stay try to its location, rather than dub in American or British voice-overs . ..I know some complained about that in 2008 when we showed the fir...
There's a new trailer due out today, I tried to nab it early this morning, and I mean early, but it wasn't up then. SOon as it is, I'll upload it to the article for Metro. The game is great, and will definitely surprise many.
But there will be some who will complain the game is on console, the thing is, developers need to put their games out on consoles these day, especially if they want a decent return on their investment.
It also supplies the latest video in Russian, and the latest screens, and there are more than one person per site allowed by invitation to attend these events by the way. We often get 2 - 3 or even 4 team members invited to such events. It allows the different sites a chance to supply a diverse range of experiences on the games.
Many sites let their readers know what IS COMING and WHEN to expect it . . . we know this because other sites have done similar things to make their read...
