TIMELESS

It's hard to believe LFS is still going with so much competition out there. I did always enjoy it though, the physics to me were near perfect. Good to see it's starting to catch up graphics-wise.

Thank you for reactivating my account :tup:

That is a heavily customized prebuilt physics system. My plan is to make it as realistic as possible. After some examination, I concluded that the wheel-collider function of PhysX3 (and soon, PhysX4) is much better than a custom raycasting method for a true car behavior simulation, therefore it uses Wheel-Collider functions.
 
A tech-demo video of the car physics system (and more!) to come this Wednesday, stay tuned!!

Guys I know I suck in 3D modeling, compared to what they are looking for (despite the fact I am a 3D artist by profession, it's my main job and I know their requirements and workflow better than they self), but... should I?:

Vehicle Artist - Playground Games
 

this is how I passed my Physics class

Just because I randomly create new features I think are quite cool, I will post this little update:
 
rims with weighted center caps eg. Rolls-Royce are now a thing. Took me way too long to figure out how to do that, but it works. It's pretty similar to how Need for Speed Underground 2 handled spinner wheels, just with a slight tweak.
 
Note to myself: I hate physics.
 
E: I abandoned this, though, as the engine has a bug in the way I place down the caps. So it's either not attached to the wheel (falls off the wheel) or the position is very laggy when car is moving. This bug exists since unreal engine 4.7 or so, which is 13 versions ago, so I doubt it will be fixed any time soon.
 
E2: found a workaround. works now. Although it's not the most elegant and efficient solution ever.

Hey @theinsaneone, it was awesome meeting you dude, it's definitely weird seeing how much i've grown since this place showed up, I mean, it must've been about 12 years ago now? This place definitely holds a real place in my heart and it was great to be here.Strange to think that I joined here at 16 and now I'm most of the way to 30. Crazy shit.

Diablo should change his name to Murciélago :)))) Okay I'll stop :D
BTW, Best wishes to TurboDuck!

To be honest not really a fan of the the Alfa Romeo design, @TIMELESS it seems I have misconception about hybrid, so my apology after doing some research, Lexus hybrid seems pretty good will go test drive at a dealer near my lease end

Did a thing...
 

 

The really easy question is which game you are refering to...

I gave in
 

Bought my first car last Friday...
 

 

Looks really nice, how about those trees, eh @insaneone ? My only skepticism is over the size of the map. I know they roll these out every two years and slowly get bigger and bigger but they really need to deliver something as large and intricate as TDU1 (>10 years later). More time will tell, hopefully before launch.

Well, looks like it's official! FH4 is in the UK!
 
So excited for this game, especially from this tidbit on the website; "With over 450 cars from more than 100 licensed manufacturers, Forza Horizon 4 features the largest and most diverse Horizon car roster yet with all the customization options Forza players love, like new Drift Suspension upgrades and driver personalization with character clothing, accessories and emotes. And for the first time in the Horizon series, players can own property that unlocks new items and gameplay perks."
 
That sure sounds like a certain other game that many people love around here doesn't it?

Welcome To Blighty, Mate!
Yeah sorry... cliche, I know.
 

 
Unbelievable. The location of Forza Horizon 4 is the UK? Well bloody 'ell I'm excited. As IGN put it "Playground’s Britain looks to me like a decade of Top Gear episodes brought to life," and what's not to love about that? But anyway that's not all that's exciting. Let's get into the nitty-gritty.
 
Location:

'Beautiful, Historic Britain' - So far there's only confirmation of England and Scotland (Edinburgh, Lake District, Cotswolds, etc), but I'm hoping we'll also see the excellent Welsh driving roads and of course the Isle of Man. (And yeah I wouldn't mind seeing my home country of NI... but that's unlikely now isn't it?)
Dynamic livestock and fields! No really. "So wheat fields will appear green and fresh in spring [and] return to their characteristic golden colour in summer. In autumn you’ll see all that harvested and baled up, ready to go, and in winter obviously the field will be fallow" - art director Ben Penrose.
New driving surfaces: dry mud, wet mud, compact snow, deep snow, ice, etc.
There's an off-road adventure park!

Vehicles:

Over 450 vehicles.
New customisation options such as 'Drift Suspension'.
Cover cars are McLaren Senna and Land Rover Defender 90 - God bless the Queen!

Gameplay:

Shared world - goodbye drivatars! :D With up to 72 players per server there's no more need for drivatars.. isn't that fantastic? Don't fear the rammers - only your friends can crash into you. Strangers will be ghosted on contact.
 
It's Not Always Online - if you're a bit of a lone wolf like myself you'll be happy to hear you can go be alone if you want. Well... alone with the drivatars.
Seasons - Dynamic seasons; "Every season changes the world around you".
Dynamic time of day.
Dynamic weather.
Dynamic seasons, TOD, and weather will be synced for every player so you'll experience it all together at the same time. Each season will last for 1 week.
Purchase properties - Oh hi, TDU! Apparently, this includes Edinburgh Castle... I wonder how many Forzabucks that'll cost?
Purchase businesses - Have you dreamt of owning your own taxi firm? You're in luck.
60FPS mode available on the Xbox X.
Native 4K and HDR.
Quick-chat - use the D-Pad to communicate with other players, useful for us Xboxers who CBA with a microphone!
Co-Op - seamlessly enter co-op from within the game world. Up to 6 players.
Forzathon Live - world events available for up to 12 players.
Horizon Stories - Sounds reminiscent of TDU/TDU2 driving contracts; a bunch of "cool driving opportunities" like being a stunt driver in a movie.
Avatar customisation - Sounds familiar, doesn't it? 500 apparel choices for both genders and even post-race emotes/reactions like GTA.

More details when we have them :)


 

 

 

 

 

 




Release date: October 2nd, 2018

Hi guys and gals. Re-install Direct X from within the game's support folder to enable force feedback support. It also activates the clutch and H-Shifter. Woohoo!

You really are the new Diablo :p

me still (barely)alive, I want to work on the websites but can't find time :cry:

First post about this game: December 30th 2011 :whistle:
 
The demo is out!! BEWARE demo file :tup:

True, she may go a bit mad with the ban hammer :p

The time has come and I'm looking for betatesters! If you're interested and have a GPU equivalent or better than the GTX770, drop me a line via PM

It's (almost) that time of the year again folks. E3 Games Expo 2018 begins with conferences starting on Saturday, June 9th, then opens to the public on Tuesday, June 12th. Here's what we've got to look forward to:

Saturday 9th June
Electronic Arts [11am PT | 2pm ET | 7pm BST]
Kicking off E3 with the EA conference, we can expect to see the latest instalment of their EA Sports franchises such as FIFA, Madden, NHL, etc, as well as a new
, and the addition of some new IPs such as Anthem from BioWare.

 
Sunday 10th June
Microsoft [1pm PT | 4pm ET | 9pm BST]
Next up we have the Microsoft conference, which will be held next door to E3 because it's damn popular to fit in the LA Convention Center.. seriously. We can expect, as usual, a new Forza announced, Halo, Gears of War, and possibly a return of the Fable franchise if the rumours are true.
 
Bethesda [6:30pm PT | 9:30pm ET | 2:30am BST]
It looks like we can expect to see a new AAA title from Bethesda, a return of Elder Scrolls or more likely an expansion for Elder Scrolls Online, and some new DLC content for existing games. Oh.. and a NEW FALLOUT
 

 
Monday 11th June
Square Enix [10am PT | 1pm ET | 6pm BST]
After the rousing success of Tomb Raider, it looks like we'll be getting a preview of the sequel, Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Final Fantasy fans can also look forward to seeing the remade FF7.
 
Ubisoft [1pm PT | 4pm ET | 9pm BST]
Ubisoft will continue to kick a dead horse build upon its legacy with additions to their long running franchises Assasin's Creed and Tom Clancy (The Division 2) and returning Beyond Good & Evil which is almost as old as I am. Maybe some more footage of The Crew 2?
 

 
Sony [6pm PT | 9pm ET | 2am BST]
Don't expect to see the PlayStation 5 just yet, the PS4 has got a few years left in it yet, but there will be plenty to look forward to such as Marvel's Spiderman and The Last of Us Part 2.
 
Tuesday 12th June
Nintendo [9am PT | 12pm ET | 5pm BST]
Finishing off the conferences will be Nintedo's video presentation highlighting the upcoming Smash Bros for the Switch and a few other titles coming to the Switch such as Pokemon (we hope), new Kirby and Yoshi games, and perhaps a new Animal Crossing.
