XBox Live
 

Yes yes yes, I know there's an old thread (or two) running, but it's over a year old now and people's habits change..

Dragged myself into the 21st century this week and got hold of one of them Xbox thangs. Having a right laugh getting it set up properly but much like Mother Hubbard's cupboard my friends list is somewhat bare...

So who's on XBL these days? Fancy whooping a complete beginner at Forza? I'll try and keep an updated list in the OP as Paul did in the previous thread before it ran away a bit...

Re: XBox Live
 

I'll update the OP if people want to just add their tags? Saves having a huge list of lists:D

Forza 3 started off slow but now I've done a few championships and got into the sportier cars it's much better:cool:

Got me a holden V8 aussie touring car recently on forza, jebus krites its a beast to control

(i switch off everything except the ABS assist thing...get more money that way)

Re: XBox Live
 

Hah

I got up to the free GT500 / Maserati yesterday evening, took the GT500 for a wee spin and although going sideways is more fun it's unfortunately a lot slower:(

ETA: Also, I have the braking markers on, but being green/red colourblind and not having a full HDTV sometimes I miss where they switch to red:rolleyes: - apologies to anyone I happen to use as a braking zone should we meet online - at least I've managed to tune the violence level down from "Destruction Derby" to "BTCC 'No Contact' Policy"

Not sure about FPS games on a console, I've played them for so long on the PC I'm entrenched in the keyboard + mouse control system, but we'll see how it goes:D

Re: XBox Live
 

I can't aim for shizzle on the xbox. It either moves too slowly or too quickly. I can't get it to move accurately. Apparently you can get a keyboard and mouse for the xbox

Re: XBox Live
 

Probably not a bad idea dude as my XBox thinks you've mis-spelled your gamertag...;)

Re: XBox Live
 

Oh crap it's meant to be PistachioNut 99

Forgot about the space

Re: XBox Live

Will add you mate...

Re: XBox Live
 

xXBADGERXx is the Gamertag and blowing holes in things is my favourite flavour , add me on Dude .

Re: XBox Live
 

Weeeeeee

Just blew some cash on a 360CS and a pink TVR Sagaris, now that's entertaining to drive:D

Will add you guys tomorrow:cool:

Anyone out there fancy a bit of Forza action? I've learned how to brake properly now so you're unlikely to find me steamrollering through you at the corner apex;)

Re: XBox Live
 

I'll be on later this evening I suspect :cool:

I'll come out cruisin'....and I got the perfect car for it :smt041:D

Re: XBox Live
 

Does the xbox not have scart control???

I want it to flick my tv over when I switch it on, like my sky box does

Re: XBox Live
 

it does via hdmi i dont think it does for component and composite :thumbsup:

Re: XBox Live
 

my tag's taz546565 if anybody can be arsed too add me currently being frustrated by forza 3 s class races being too long and a bugatti veyron that just keep's beating me on the straight's and me struggling too get him on the corner's very irratating and i have no money on it so i cant get any other faster cars so im stuck in a rut.

Re: XBox Live
 

Wait for a straight bit of road and for the veryon to start bearing down on you, leave a gap on one side and when he goes for it swerve in front of him, he'll brake sharply and you'll not only pull away slightly but bugger up his high speed run

Or you could always bash him off the track:-dd

Re: XBox Live
 

i've tried that but ive also got a saleen that keeps doing the same my cars a fully upgraded scirrocco ive got them on acceleration but top end im stuffed and it's the motegi track so a crap load of straights for them too keep getting past me i find when im blocking the buggatti the saleen sod's off.

Re: XBox Live
 

When I was doing the S class races against the Veyron I had a 360CS with every available upgrade but it still didn't make a difference, that Veyron made it look like I was standing still

You could try upping the downforce in the AERO section of tuning to give you a bit more grip in the corners, and try shortening your gearing so that you almost top out on the fastest section of the track, therefore giving you max acceleration everywhere else

Re: XBox Live
 

ahh yeah i could try that i havnt touched the setup on the car yet.

Re: XBox Live
 

You'll almost certainly be geared for way more than you'll ever reach on any of the tracks bar perhaps Le Mans

The downforce makes a big difference, with ~770bhp my 360 was very skittish, my Carrera GT and the 911 race car you get at level 30 or so were both nigh on undrivable on cold tyres and hairy on hot tyres without more downforce

Got me a 920bhp FXX now and that thing sticks like glue, stupendously quick in a straight line too

Re: XBox Live
 

it's all wheel drive so it does give good grip and doesnt spin up much when you stick the hammer down.

Re: XBox Live
 

That sucks. I don't know why they didn't stick a proper scart lead on it








wow didn't know you got all those settings in forza. I'm gonna have to get this game

Re: XBox Live
 

it is a supremely good game if you have lot's of time to spare.
