Forza Horizon on 10/23 and NFS: Most Wanted on 10/30.

:fap:


Maybe by then, I will want to race again

All these fucks driving in the 3rd person view.

:kanyesmh:

Because they know what's up. Plus, it shows a lot more of the game that way dummy.

It's dumb. In-car, first-person driving is the only way to do it.

 

[Twigg4075]

I could be wrong but it definitely looked like the Criterion dude was using a 360 controller. That would be a first for them.

 

[Buzzman]

Is it me or is February/March fucking packed?

 

[Twigg4075]

For me it's not. I can see a lot more of my environment and anticipate my movements in third person. I despise first person in racing games. More realistic or not.

NO KINECT or MOVE or motion BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Insanely.

For me it's not just that it's more realistic, it's that I know how a car handles from that POV. I don't drive my car from a perch behind it, so it just feels weird to drive that way in games. Just always have a much better handle on cars being inside them.

For arcade racers 3rd person works.....for sims it MAKES ZERO sense to watch the back of the car. You need to see where the front of the car is going.....100% of anyone decent at Forza use hood or bumper cam. The cockpit view has gotten more popular and easier to drive but some cars are tough.

No NCAA

 

[Twigg4075]

Crysis 3 looks cool. I wish MS would put Crysis 1 on sale.

 

[Swarley]

No NCAA

Not surprised they didn't show it during the presser. I did see something earlier that there will be some new gameplay shown at some point (guessing tomorrow).

 

[Rudi]

That FIFA 13 gameplay trailer :whoner: :fap: :fap: :fap: mg2: :cantwait:

 

[Twigg4075]

No NCAA

I was always under the impression that NCAA was only for the hardest core football gamers. The fact that they only spent five minutes on Madden made me immediatley realize they weren't going to show squat about NCAA. My memory is terrible, have they ever really shown much of NCAA at any E3 press conference?

They talked about Teambuilder for NCAA 10, but never really anything other than that. NCAA has never been for hardcore football gamers, they cater to the younger crowd and majority of their features they've added over the years have proven that. The gameplay is already miles behind Madden, giving Madden a physics engine really hurts NCAA even further.

Man, good on you, that must be nice, because I am with Twigg. I can't STAND first person driving. I never feel like I have control or that I can see as much as I can see in an actual car, and that honestly breaks it for me. Driving is too instinctual to add joystick and button presses for me. Third person removes me from that (also, I don't understand JMS, how third person doesn't allow for seeing what is in front of you?).

I guess what I meant was that I was always under the impression that the only people that really bought NCAA were actual college football fans, whereas any dude bro in the world buys Madden, even if they are just a casual football fan. I don't remember what the yearly sales comparisons normally are but I thought it was somewhere around 3-1 favoring Madden.

He means you can't see the front of the car. And in sim racing, that's not a good thing when you are racing bumper to bumper.

ReSpawn Needs to get off of its ass n show something

I am talking about competitive racing.......not racing against AI or clowning around. When I am trying to cut .1 of a sec off my lap time I have to make I an entering each turn perfectly. I need to see exactly where my left or right front tire is going to hit the curb of the apex....1 inch to the left or right could cost me time.

There is really no reason for me to be looking at the rear of my car, what is the benefit? I want to feel like I am driving the car....not controlling it like it is a remote control car.

I used to drive from behind in forza 2 until Hellisan told I need to change that ASAP. I did not believe him as well.........but my times got more consistent and faster....the proof was in the pudding.
