We as Forza addicts spend €65 on the CE, then another €60 on all the car packs, and we get nothing? That's how you treat your community, that keep the game alive. Without us this game would've been dead for half a year, as it's not a great game imo.
You don't hype up a big announcement and then deliver one that has absolutely nothing to do with all the loyal vip / owners who have spent the year buying dlc. What an absolute insult that our garages will now sit incomplete because turn 10 want us to spend out god knows how much on exactly the same game, the same cars, the same tracks and oh let me see what amounts to a tiny dlc car pack. Who knows perhaps they may see it fit to reward us loyal players with the code to download it for free.
What the hell were you thinking T10?!?!?!?!
WHY did you do this!?
3 of the most eagerly awaited cars besides the jalopnik pack and you SCREW IT FOR US ALL!
I DONT WANT TO BUY THE GAME ALL OVER AGAIN TO GET THOSE CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am HUGELY disappointed by you...i am angry beyond belief at this....this is the worst screw up i can think of...thank you so much for ruining the game, thank you for screwing me over for all the cash i paid for this game and all the DLC and destroying my hopes to play with some of the best cars today!
i hope the money youll suck out of people will be worth shattering the fun of people like me and believe me there are alot of gamers like me who are livid about this!
any number of these would be THE RIGHT THING TO DO....not bending over your loyal customer base and shafting them violently for their money that they more than happily gave you...no, not gave you, practically threw at you because they loved the game...
asking someone to buy a game that IS NOT EVEN 1 YEAR OLD all over again and to start from ZERO all over again for the cars everyone already has and to go through the whole bother of the races AGAIN is just f***ing OBSCENE!
this move reveals the true nature of the company...of the game makers and the people involved on a personal level...you are NOT car fans...you are NOT gamers...you are not community members...what you are is greedy and cruel...selfish beyond belief
you dont care one bit that people wanted these cars really badly...not just these cars but also the jalopnik DLC that had a lot of people really excited....
you dont care that people were more than willing to pay any price for new cars and tracks but no, you wanted more...you wanted 60$ out of us for what everyone already has
it would be fair if you gave us the new content as DLC...or let us hand in our old coppies for the new one as a swap for free or a minimal price difference
all of this would have been a good idea and the right thing to do
i just want to know where you people learned how to take care of a franchise...noone in their right mind would do this to an existing customer base
and i cant overstate how massively disappointed and angry i am
I said it first...many loyal fans will sell there box for a PS3 and GT5 because T10 is getting greedy and of course trying to launch such rubbish like a Forza 3.5 before the monster ( GT5 ) comes out. I've spent so much money on F3 its sad and this is how you give back to all of us...?
"I gave you money! I DESERVE PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT!"
"BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR LOYAL HARDCORE FANS!?"
If they were truly loyal hardcore fans.. they'd buy the game anyways and be happy with what they got.
If you look at the way fans gobble up "box set" collections of music from their favorite bands, that's how it's supposed to work. You give the band money in gratitude for entertaining you, not as a deposit on future services.
That's fine, but I'm not paying sixty bucks for 8 cars.
I'm thinking of making the shift to rFactor anyways, it seems like a better game in every way except perhaps vehicle selection.. which is something I care less about as time goes on.
I'll join you in the switch to rFactor. I'll still play forza, but I'm liking rFactor more and more, but now I need a pc wheel

What rfactor mods are you running, if any?
Also, simbin's stuff for PC is pretty good, and should be available for fairly cheap, as another alternative.
Well they're not wrong. I think not offering the cars as DLC is looooowwwwwwww
The VIP thing ended up as DLC, pretty sure this will too.
yeah, 6 months later.

Well, except for the Cuda and a few others, I could give less of a shit. I do feel a bit iffed by them selling this so close to GT5 as a cash cow, but 90% of those cars I'll never afford in-game, and nor would I want to drive them. Oh look, a CCX! Probably starts in R3. Useful for what, one track, and only one track? Just as useless as the SSC. A cool gimmick, but I like lower class cars.

Agreed. I bought the CE and I feel a little fucked over that there are no current plans to offer the UE stuff to us. It's not like I want them for free; I'll gladly pay.
I must have made great time on that last section because you don't even see my car when you two hit the bottom of the hill, but then cut to the straight and it's 3-wide.
and then you drift wider and wider and wider and oh god wall! Fortunately for me, Veevee spun himself out in that same spot on the next lap.

Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

As soon as I get a wired controller, this weekend most likely, I'll join you guys as well.
Wow, so some user made tracks for rFactor are incredible. Found one that has about 8 crossings in the 3 mile track for mucho hilarity, a couple of GT2 remakes, some local tracks (Madison, La Crosse, Milwaukee, Crandon [CORR]), all F1 tracks.
I need a racing wheel now. Any decent pc wheels for around $50, or should I just wait a bit and get the $150 fanatec wheel?
Crossings like intersections, where racers could accidentally T-bone each other?

Exactly. put 50 cars on the track and holy shit is it dangerously fun
Edit: oh and 2 or 3 good jumps in the track as well

also, for the record, I was not trying to use the road to correct myself. I failed at trying to continue my spin off to the grass and found myself perpendicular to the road.

I don't think PC wheels start getting decent until around the $150 mark. I'm gonna be rolling my 360 wheel for a while.. losing FF sucks but I can deal.

Got a Wired controller and a setup that lets me drive decently, won race 1 of the amateur season. Have you guys played online yet?
How is the 360 wheel? Been thinking about getting one since they're going out of stock around here, Fanatec is sold out and I can't find the Logitech Drive FX anywhere.

It's decent for the price. If you ever want to use the clutch and/or view cars around you, it's not as great. None of the wheels have a thumbstick for adjusting view, so you have to use the face buttons (which is a pretty terrible way to look around).

Ah, okay, might get a cheap one later on then.

Yeah, I'm not paying a subscription to earn the privilege of buying access to a new track for $15 or cars that cost $12.
Oh FM.net people, never change.

At least one of the cars is going to have to be DLC, or else all of us playing the original game will only see a black Jetta in place of the new cars.
Well it's not really the cars and tracks that make it valuable so much as the ability to race at any time with other people who aren't fucktards.

I tried a quick google, found nothing.

Just make FM4 good and I'll be happy.
fix'd that for you
And xzzy, multiplayer is done the way it should be, with lobbies both public and private.
I haven't touched any mods for rFactor yet, anyone have any good suggestions?

full disclosure that was lap 38 for veevee. I was on like 35 at the time.
And nice video there bast, I especially like the view of my Arcadians sticker near the end

But it does look really good. Is the release of that still Q4 2010? Cause if so, I'd rather wait for 2 than get into the original now.
And like most effects in a video game, I'm sure the weather effects look a hell of a lot better in motion

In other news I just picked up a bargain bin copy of this to hold me over until the Ultimate Collection hits.
The Daytona/Superbird transcended Ammurkahn ideals to reach new levels of greatness. They are the few exceptions.
Guess I'll toss on Civ 5 and go "oh man fuck Road Atlanta"
