If I actually had the cash to spend on games i'd probably go for FM4, BF3 and possibly F1 2011.

Of course if I had enough cash i'd be done with the console and would be iRacing it up, but eh.. Life ain't fair.

Cool, the Top Gear Studio is a backdrop!

[Matt]

and how GOOD does the car look in it. Looks totally there. The T10 lighting system is waaaayyyyyyy better than before.

[Richy59]

I hope they fix the lighting system in the paint mode, I can never see the back of my cars properly.

[ckBrenneke]

Some neat stuff in there, but they are trying to hard with autovista. It's nice and all, but seriously Dan, stop overselling it.

I hope they fix the lighting system in the paint mode, I can never see the back of my cars properly.

or backward sides on race cars!!

After seeing the clear improvement in the graphics, and the fact that they GPS'ed Hockenheim to "sub-centimeter" accuracy as well as more detail and landmarks. Plus the new lighting engine and resolution and moving grass / trees, AND their track list are only the ones they've released videos for, I'm actually really excited for even the existing tracks to be released, as I'm sure they would've been remodelled. Just that short Road Altanta segment we saw at E3, it doesn't look like its set in the desert as much with the "sunset" approach.

I'm 95% sure that the new Silverstone will be in the game, and can't wait for all the new track videos and images!

New Thrustmaster Xbox 360 wheel

http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/19/thrustmaster-unveils-ferrari-f458-racing-wheel-and-th8-rs-shifte/

[nickyf1]

$90... Thats reasonable money!

Roughly £55.

No FFB though, but hey, if its for Forza, some good resistance should do. Much better than having a controller.

[Richy59]

It is indeed, expect to pay £100 for it.

[HCR generaltso]

if there are images of flashing lights. someone PM me about it as soon as possible.

[Richy59]

I could show you the lights flashing in GT5

[HCR generaltso]

I could show you the lights flashing in GT5

i know...i played it at my friends house a few days ago. and all i can think about is those flashing headlights


anyway, they changed the toyota bridge at road america to the corvette bridge...awesome.

so hopefully the newer silverstone layout will be on there.

[Richy59]

[LMR DarthMario]

(drooling emoticon goes here)

so they've updated Road America!! that was one of my fears that they wouldnt do that to the tracks going from Fm3 to Fm4

[HCR generaltso]

pretty sure the cheese truck changed at road america from FM2 to FM3, i could be wrong though.

[nickyf1]

Nice, the bridges are different, and they've removed the bridge after Canada.

But the left hand side of the track after where that bridge should be is much different to that. Race Pro's Road America is still much more accurate.

And the Motorcycle Chicane has not been put in..

But overall, I do appreciate the addition of the wider tarmac run offs and the new ad boards and bridges. Looks really good!

Plus, the body language of the car into some of the turns looked great too!

The RoadAmerica updated version seems pretty promising. Pretty impressive I must say, but hopefully other tracks see this kind of attention.

[LMR DarthMario]

agreed Avenger. ive always hated the rumble strips in the hairpin corners of tsukuba. compared to youtube vids, the rumbles in FM1/2/3 have been too tall
