I don't play often enough to start the club. I think whoever starts it should be a daily gamer...:driving:

Myspec8u

+1 rep! Welcome aboard

Cool. You play alot? Me and my friends are on 3-4 times a week, sometimes more.

I don't even have a Gold (or whatever it is called) account right now .. but would be happy to join. I'm Naenyn on XBL.

I play sporadically when I'm not traveling (pilot). weekday evening usually right now

I'm on now trying to get more friends on.

It's nismochiq

I will be on tonight waiting for people.

On my way.

you can find me as "Eighties Metal". I used to play this game alot, every single day. Now once or twice a week but I still like playing it.

Request sent.

Had a fun night of racing with red6spd last night, but he is waaay faster than me. :(

Haven't been able to go on lately but hopefully tomorrow or the weekend. Been busy with school. :/

+1 Rep to Naenyn for signing onto the roster!

Don't we have a club already made or something? I will check when I get home tonight or maybe shado will show up and say something.

just saw this thread and i was thinkin about getting Forza 4 but i just saw they have a new one coming out so i think i'm gonna wait. i am however on xbox everyday lol just playin different games

I handed over the keys to the original group a while ago. Turn10 irked me on a customer service issue, so I don't play the game nearly as much anymore.

I'm not sure who's in control of it now.

I think the Horizon demo came out today. I'm gonna dl it tonight and try it out a bit I think.

same here :excited:

Iam down for d forza4 club...

Get Forza 4. Horizon seems lame, prob not going to get it.

What's your Xbl name? Skullmike21?

The Horizon demo makes me think it's pretty much Midnight Club LA set in Colorado with some Dirt 3 thrown in. Physics are far and away better than MC-LA from the little bit I played tonight but it doesn't feel quite as accurate as Forza 4 even with all the aids turned off. I do like the ability to drive off the pavement and not suddenly finding myself driving on super glue that looks like dirt/grass! Unlike Forza 3, which I haven't played since FM4 came out, Horizon will not be replacing FM4, more of an alternative for when I need a break from FM4 and F1 2012. I'm Ole Brownie and I don't know who's in charge of the Z34 club anymore

i agree with you. i played the demo last night but i kinda like it. i think i've played or bought every need for speed game to date and have also played forza 3 and 4. i like some of the arcadeness? of NFS but still love the more realistic style of FM4 so this is somewhat a nice mix. i'm just wondering if they have any drift events in this one lol

I used to love those NFS games, especially the first 2 Undergrounds. However, now that I have adjusted to playing Forza 3 and 4, I can't play them at all because I am actually paying attention to my speed, angle, etc. :(

haha i know what u mean but itsfun sometimes to go 220mph into a 90 degree turn and it be "normal" lol i still think my favorite NFS was most wanted. the cop chases were soooo hard but soo soo much fun. ahhh reminds me of college lol get all fcked up and play NFS and halo all day and night.....well maybe go to class in there a little too :tup:

I have thought about a driving simulator for the track, awhile. This is the perfect place to start, with nothing. What do I need to buy and what extras should I get; i.e. a gas pedal brake, multi screens, etc.

Thank you and I look forward to virtually driving with you.

Yeah skullmike21..

I actually live in Colorado just up in the hills from Denver. I also loved NFS series but found them a bit too "arcade". Also at heart, I'm a driver (not a racer or track rat) so I think Horizon is going to be spot on for me.

I just spent 100 bucks or so at best buy for a cheap mad cat 2 wheel and pedals and really like am enjoying the increased control and more natural control style. I'm tempted to spend a few hundred bucks on a good dim level wheel and some pedals. The paddle shifter is fine for my purposes and I think a manual shifter and clutch would require a dedicated stand up cockpit setup to work.

The wheel has defiantly made it easier for a Xbox racing noob to turn better laps. My feet just "know" how to feather the throttle better than my fingers and forget about trying to manual shift on the controller. With the wheel I don't even think about shifting it just comes naturally.

In other words. I'm loving it all and am amped about horizon.

i actually was half tempted to start searching for like legit racing setup for xbox like steering wheel with paddles, pedals, and everything but knowing me i'd have $500 in it without trying lol

i usually am a monster at racing games but never got into forza 4 too much. i'll probably buy horizon since like i said earlier its a cross between forza nad NFS it feels like.

500 bucks for a good sim setup is about right (I did some prelim research) 250-300 for wheel 100 for pedals 50 for shifter (optional) 300 for a good frame with seat to bolt it all too... (I assume you have video and audio setup already)

1-2000 bucks will get you state of the art sim setup. 300-600 will get you excellent (all metal) force feed back club level setup. 100 gets you the Mad Cat setup that I bought which is not force feedback but good and durable and has included shifter and plastic but functional pedals (no clutch pedal)

Check this as an awesome look at the possible!!!!

I wish i had more time to obsess about this stuff. we live in a magic age!!!

i thought the horizon demo was okay. I'm just not sure on the online mechanics.
I hope i can play with just my friends so i can avoid children doing donuts and trying to crash into everyone...that's only fun for so long.

Here's a funny sort-of-related jalopnik article

Here is a Xbox wheel buyers guide I found helpful:
Forza Motorsport 4 Wheel Buyers Guide - YouTube

If I were a bit more serious here is what i would probably buy:
http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/10/10...wheel-overview

So yesterday I went out and bought an X box 360 with a wireless wheel, and Forza 4. I should have bought a hard drive so I could install the game.

I simply went to Game Stop and said what I wanted and they first asked who this would be for. When I said for me they looked shocked,(They thoght it was for my son or grandkid. Then let me assemble what you want, was his reply.

He'd already asked about wi fi and told him I do not want that. Apparently I bought an older box but the whole deal was $216 taxed.

I talked to a couple younger folks today and they are jealous of me. This is what sucks about life. I don't even like it that much. If at all. I am doing this like going to school to learn various tracks. Fun has yet to be had. Granted I've played 20-30 minutes total.

I'm rarely on though.

Real tracks are obviously more fun, although video games give you the chance for epic dikkishness with no real consequences.

But yeah, there's no G-forces, nothing that really pulls you from your seating position.

^ correct. therefore, when you turn hard into a chicane, you must replicate the g-forces by doing a gangster lean in your char.

no exceptions.
