the demo is sweet, its scary realistic. With out even playing it before, i turned off all the assists, manual (without clutch), simulations steering and damage, no stability control, only breaking suggestions lines.. lost controll of the 458 at 155 anywho its epic

It's looking like will be worth a purchase, G0ldfysh on Xbox shame there is no leaderboard online this time though. Handling does feel a step up from before running without any assists feels right this time not so grabby on the brakes.

So it was you I was racing in Rivals mode, got mixed up with cocopops above!

Had another play last night, definitely prefer the snappy-ness of the new simulation steering mode, feels a lot more on edge and actually requires quite a lot of effort to keep stable at speed.

What is your gamer tag?

[spuk87]

Same as my username . We'll organise some forum racing when the game's out.

Mine is CocoPops. If you do add me, send me a message as well I get A LOT of randoms trying to add me (a gamertag similar to mine was "helping" MW2 players to "prestige")

Have a hunt around, there are usually a fair few 1 month or 3 month trials knocking about. Certainly ebay isn't a bad shout. You'll probably either get bored of online in that time, or you will have enough to get gold.

Really really pissed off. Signed in to my xbox to download the demo, only it wouldn't sign me in, something about my details being incorrect. Had to reset my password on xbox.com, then recover my gamertag via the xbox, and it turns out my account has been hacked. Some little f**ks have logged in as me, started playing Fifa 12, deleted my friends list and spent all the points in my account.

Phoned Xbox and they have instigated an investigation, but have had to suspend my account for "up to 25 days" in order to do so.

Really annoyed, and no Forza 4 for me.

No idea how it can have happened. They asked me a load of questions about whether I'd ever given my log in details to any "power gamer" or "free points" websites, which of course I haven't. I'm very careful about passwords, and haven't been rushing round the internet putting in my gamertag anywhere.

Gutted.

that is sh**. Will they refund you the points you've lost? You just know if they are playing Fifa they are scummy scrotes (fact ) .

Yep, most points I've ever had in my account, and they're all gone. They should get refunded, but it's really irritating that just as the battlefield 3 beta, forza 4 demo and portal 2 dlc comes out. Also just got Gears 3, can't play that online either.

I'm pretty sure that they will get refunded. I've been a live subscriber since the first xbox, will be really irritated if that counts for nothing.

I'm also hoping that they take the Fifa 12 achievements off my gamertag, as my opinion is the same as yours.

Yeah, the worst thing is the sense of paranoia. Now I don't know what else may have been compromised. Lucky you had someone to have a go at, I have no idea how this has happened, as my xbox is locked up at home.

I'm not a massive online gamer so it's not a huge blow, but still really crap.

i know what you mean about the sense of paranoia because i got the same thing when sony got hacked and everyones details were exposed

[VX Boyd]

Similar happened to me RE hacking. Microsoft refunded all my points but didn't suspend the account? Instead I went policing myself and discovered the guys myspace page (it was that long ago) as he changed the gamertag to his myspace account name

I don't have many racer mates on live so would happily add a few on here and create a .org car club in the game, that sounds a fucky feature. I'm a fairly solid racer (any times out the top 1000 disapoint me ) but I enjoy the painting the most...

Stevenage FC badge - the badge ended up at over 800 layers

[spuk87]

Did you create those liveries? If so that is seriously impressive. I never have the patience to do anything more than copy someone else's BMW badge then re-sell it online at a 1000 credits a piece, has actually earned me a reasonable amount

Should be enough of us to get a decent car club going and some forum races. I'll start a new post for gamertags when the game is out and [nerd] we can use it to organise races etc. [/nerd]

Yep. Back in my student days, I'd happily spend a good 4+ hours straight just playing with literally 100s of shapes. Always worth it in the end... favourite bit of the Bulmers car is the HP Bulmer signiture.

I'm a little worried at the lack of the VX220 in the car lists so far

Was hoping to create some designs to run by the creators of Lightening Mac.

Back from Forza 2... (unfortunately the link to the side of the car with all 4 heads has died)

[Mitch_VX]

haha looking good i only just got forza 3 and am now spending ages recreating cars from the fast and furious series
