Portimão (Algarve, Portugal)... Not happening now but perhaps as DLC?

I'll try as hard as i can to be there on the 8th of May and drool over those GT cars :P
 
What, and have all the kids complain about 'bouncing' issues again? :crazy: :sly: Better have a bucket handy if you are on helmet cam!

Personally, of the ALMS tracks, I'd rather see a Road Atlanta... sort of a mini-Bathurst - tight windy and a lot of elevation change. Sebring has next to no camber on the corners and zero elevation change (as you'd expect at an old airport) and its main attraction is simply how rough and punishing it is to car and driver... none of which gets modeled very well in a game. It's a great warm-up for Le Mans, though! Survive 12 hours on Sebring, 24 at Le Mans is a snap!

Can't remember what game i have Sebring on for the PS2 but i love the track. i prefer Road Atlanta also but Sebring is next on my list.
 
^ yes but you need hot pursuit to unlock them, i dont'have it. However i dont' care about those 2 cars.

Hope all other cars like mercedes etc won't be connected to such things.. i don't like it. I want all the content.
 
Meh... the Pagani roadster would have been nice to be able to drive I guess, the other car I look at more as a kind of joke from the devs.

Forward to 1hr:04min:40sec and you'll hear it.

This video needs to be posted on the front page,lol. Great post man. This video just makes me alot more eager to get my hands on it. Everyone considering this game needs to listen or look at this. I just listend to the whole 2 hr video while here at work. Alot of questions answered and you can see them answering. No rumor to be spread if you watch this. Only thing to do is set back and wait til the 29th.

A few interesting things mentioned
-Live tuning - pause, tune, unpause, see/feel the difference.
-Online play(if this is your thing) Match making servers - bad racers only race alike racers, good racers are matched with other good racers. I might even race online now.
-Tire wear/track wear - this compliments the physics system. Basically the track and the driver in front of you influences how your car handles.
-No flags but there are penalities for track cutting. As Andy puts it "You can't cheat in the game" the Autolog feature captures everything you do in the game. Both on and offline. From favorites to driving behavior.

Overall, they have listend to all the complaints and have addressed the issues. Good luck SMS.
 

I think because they didnt't announce it in the news because it appeals to such a small demographic(people who bought HP and are going to buy S2U) and really isnt that interesting to the general public
 
I call it now in the likelihood I'm wrong, but with the Seacrest Police car (which is a pretty cool inclusion, imo) a small section of Seacrest might make it into the game (or via DLC).

As for niche appeal, I'm surprised more sim people don't like HP as it's an absolute riot in its own right. Wipeout with cars is hardly a bad thing, surely? I wish the elitist element could learn to love all sorts of racing games, as it would be a boring place limited to strict sims.
 
Update:

According to the updated official website car list, some cars have been removed and two special cars added to Lamborghini and Pagani.

PS: The two special reward cars are for all versions (PS3, PC & XBOX 360).

PS+: PC users who played/are playing NFS: World (A free online multiplayer NFS title exclusive for PC) can receive 1,000XP & $10,000 in-game-cash for kick start.

More "Loyalty Rewards" can be found -> here

i played and got platinum in shift 1 but traded the game and dont' have the save file anymore :)

They say to use your EA account but i dont' even know what it is and if i had one with shift 1 i already lost it
 
Ohh the EA account ! Well you automatically create one if you play any EA game that comes with an online mode. They ask you for. Either you play Battlfield NFS Fifa.. and what have you. And the games get noticed on your account as soon as you start to play. :)
 
EA account is just one account. If you have any other EA games it will use the same account.

Cinque, reventon and cash for me then.
 
^ OK thank You, i played shift 1 and fifa11.. so when I'll got in with shift 2 it will be the same automatically?
 
Should be yeah. Might ask you your log in details but shift 1 didn't even do that with me.
 
^ Ok, found it on ea site, i logged in and they have my gaming history and usless stuffs like that. However yes it's the same as psn account for me, same mail, same id.
 
Loking at the car list theres two manufacturers to be announced.

Mercedes are already on the car list but not the manufacturer list so we could see some more of them announced. Other possibilities could be Mini and Marussia (a russian car company which holds a stake in the Virgin F1 team)

Looking at the Porsches they seem to have made a mistake.

On the GT3 RS (a road car) they have the description of the GT3 R racing car, and on the GT3 R they haver the description of the Hybrid 911 GT3 race car. I think we know what one of the two missing Porsches will be now ;)

As for the other one? I think either the 918 Spyder or the RS Spyder race car.

Looking at the gaps in the track list theres one between Monza and the Nring. Mosport Canada anyone? For those that don't know Mosport is an awesome track in Canada which has remained unchanged in its layout since it was first built: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DWeejbOZnY

The gap next to Road America has to be Road Atlanta :D

The other to gaps next to Spa and Tokyo? Hopefully one is Sebring though the tracks are listed aplhabetically which makes it unlikely, the other gap I really don't know.

^ Yes mercedes we have already pics of 190e race car and the slg6 and sls amg.

Also mini we have a video, the old 68 mini.

and there is also a pic of the 918 spyder
 
I don't mind DLC... If the game delivers, DLC should be a nice add also. Again, i only hope and my LE is taking to long to arrive :p
 
We could also be ready for some immediate post-release DLC, it is EA after all.

Yep, they mentioned there may be free PC DLC, and the first free DLC for the first game was a new online race mode and 5 new cars a month or so after the release date.
 
ALMS GT Class - Team Falken Tire Porsche GT3 RSR pics are up 👍
