Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME
any 360ians want to get taken down?
Well it's Microsoft Certification, so even if it's a bug than it will be 6 months before we get the update.
I am in for playing on the 360, I can't wait for the update.
I thought it had custom soundtracks on the 360, I believe it's a requirement
AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME
That's the custom soundtrack capability built into all 360 games. In most games (if not all) it mutes the in-game music.
Yeah, it covers up the music, but it leaves the sound effects and the voice-overs (fuck you, DJ Atomika. Seriously, shut the fuck up. I know I lost that event. Asshole). The only difference between that and the in-game radio is that it keeps playing when you go to the Junkyard screen.
I think that's exactly what you'd want out of a custom soundtrack anyway, so it doesn't really make sense to complain about a lack of custom soundtracks when it's right there and it works.
Hmm, I did not know that. I'll have to set it up the next time I play.
Also, I was disapointed to find out that the Cagney release was not today as I'd thought. Back to Gears of War, I guess.
Season's greetings, Satan!
I'm up for racing online anyway, 360 handle is on my sig.
Also I'm just going to throw in the mandatory complaint. No crash mode!?...Really?

I chimed in to add that, while the above is true, a couple of other people and I have noticed a couple of lacking features the OST has over the customs in this game. One: right bumper to skip tracks are disabled for customs, and two: no title display / artist info on popup.
OK, you say, but that's the nature of running music from the dashboard, right?
To that I would cite an example of another racing title that did feature those things for the customs. Released a while back for 360, Flatout: Ultimate Carnage by Bugbear Entertainment has what I mentioned. Although I understand if Criterion simply handed over all music controls to the dashboard rather than attempt to figure out how to control / display the customs, I'd like to see a little consistency.
you can skip tracks on the ps3 version, i dunno about the 360 one though. true about the lack of artist/title popping up but i know all the music ive got on my ps3 so its not really a thing for me.
also getting the pcpd special is kicking my ass at the moment, ive been trying for the past hour or so.
AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME
As I said though, 360 version has its in-game song skip button disabled for custom soundtracks.
Notice anything different in Cagney? I think a certain real-life automaker had some objections.

There is consistency. You pointed out an exception.
Season's greetings, Satan!
i finally got it. i went oncoming the entire way to keep the burnouts coming and jumped up out of the underground on that one superjump ramp, for added fanciness. you just cant crash at all, which is hard when a stiff gust of wind will wreck the wtr.

It's in the title, sherlock.
I think I put it in the OP when it was changed to the 24th, but it might still say the 14th. I'll check and change it if that's the case.
e: Yeah oops, it still said 14th.
Does anyone fancy jumping on the 360 version now for some challenges or something?

Feel free to insert your foot into your mouth.
I'll be off and on for a while this week and next, I just got my "A" Licence, so I've got lots to do in single player still.
At this point, I am crawling through intersections looking for some indication on the HUD.
Go to the map screen, and you can filter out different types of races, find the burning routes for certain cars, see the starts and finishes for each race, and see which ones you've completed. There will be a checkmark on the icon.
also sidenote: if you play multiplayer games GET A MIC. everything is so much better if you have a mic.

Nice one. Make sure you grab at least 20 challenges as well for 101% and your platinum cars.

If it's >$30 I'll nab it.
$60 > 30.
Srsly though, it looks like MSRP is currently $40 as that's what I've seen it for most places. Used, you should have no trouble scoring it for thirty.

But cool I will get it this weekend.
online marked man is stupidly fun. it can get lame if someone is all the way across the map from everyone else, but if you try to stay in the same area its awesome. i dont really like how they implemented online road rages, but they can have moments.
final note: ps3 dudes GET ONLINE. we need to get some PA games going with more than like 2 people.
AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME
Man, I was really looking forward to it, too.
Oh well.
Season's greetings, Satan!
So another week and a bit at least.
Season's greetings, Satan!
GTA IV has somewhat preoccupied me as of late but I should be back in Paradise City this evening.
Side note: I will never take high framerates for granted again.
