It's that time of week again... * Stick to the implied theme (don't look for technical loopholes) * Images must not exceed 5MB, and be at least 1280px wide by 500px tall. * Each person who enters must cast a vote in the same week to remain eligible. You may not vote for yourself. * Winning image must not be of TDU2 as you risk account suspension. * Winner picks the next theme, unless winning consecutively, in which case the runner up decides. * Winner has 48h to PM a new theme to me or another member of staff if I'm away, if they fail to meet this then the theme will be a free round. * Competition is limited to games on all platforms of any age that are classified as driving/racing games. (i.e. FPS games that have cars in them wouldn't be eligible). Please mention what game your screenshot is from. * Minor non-enhancing editing permitted (cropping, addition of your name, etc) is permitted, as long as the actual screenshot isn't tampered with. Just like all these other comps. Week 51: Modern Supercars (2010 or newer)

good catch

Congrats on the win, robillard3381. To celebrate our 50th 'week', I've spent a few hours (of unpaid labour) putting together a Hall of Fame thread. Go check it out. If your image is missing due to the kuvat.fi image host disappearing, PM me the new URLs and I'll fix it up

The only difference with TC is the cars take forever to model because of all the mechanical parts that also need to be modelled AND animated. Given how man people here were willing to pay to keep TDU1 alive you'd think this wouldn't be such a massive issue this time around.

So just run a few torrents in the background while playing then?

"As we started down the runway, there was an odd cloud of smoke in the distance. I'd never seen anything like it before on a runway. My passenger screamed as we both realized what it was. Luckily we just cleared it with the skin of our teeth."

Had a few close calls here

4L/100km on the CBR500R :nods:

tease - as in mess with, make fun of. Get yo' mind out of the gutter :evil:

I'm a little surprised we don't have a working PS2 emulator on PC yet

At first I was like 'You have a picture of a laptop on your laptop?' :oook: and then I realised it must be the box :lol:

TDU1 was all exotic sure, but it was also about being able to cruise and chill with friends for hours without getting bored. Forza Horizon doesn't have that reputation yet. Even if it does have amazing roads, handling, and engine sounds if it doesn't have a large enough map and geared towards 'unlimited' gameplay options then it just isn't going to last (just like the first one). Round the world race in TDU1: ~45 minutes to complete Round the world race in FH1: ~7-10 minutes Round the world race in TC: ~4 hours If FH2 is 3x the size as as FH1 it's still going to be less than TDU1. Not terrible but it's a bit last decade still. Let's hope the quality makes up for any lack of quantity.

We can tease you any day if you like ;)

How are things going Emir?

New video

Well I think with Asphalt, Real Racing, and Reckless Racing/Getaway we're fairly well covered for mobile driving games as it is.

"It all started when she waved and stopped me to ask for a favour. Not being in a rush I thought I'd do the nice thing and take her to the airport. If only I knew this would be the start of an epic adventure."

Posting this might be a little premature (might be better off waiting for new game releases) but meh Basically this is like the old 3-word game where people take in turns making a random story. This time you can post 50 words or less (i.e. a sentence or three) but you need to post one of your screenshots that drives the story. It's up to your imagination how deep and detailed you want to get, and you can use any game, be it driving, first person, or even a train simulator if you're into that. Couple of guidelines - Avoid getting too dark or gory with the topic - think more along the lines of an Adventure story perhaps? - Forum rules regarding inappropriate topics/language and insults still apply. Maybe we'll all take on one anonymous character and write in the first person. If that's not interesting enough, I may consider a slight change where you have to write the words based on the last image posted, and then you post an image for the next person.

I don't really want TDU3 (Atari) to be honest. They've stuffed up and now there are new studios filling the gap. NFS haven't been international (outside the USA) since 2001 (Hot Pursuit 2) by my reckoning. It's a trend that needed to change 5 years ago, and hopefully it's a trend that Forza Horizon 2 will start (i.e. others will follow suit).

I wonder if they're any different if driving manual with clutch

erm I dunno. 'muricans don't seem to care for geography outside the USA and I'm kinda the opposite :lol: But I have seen traces of numerous older NFS games, Burnout, and even a little bit of Split Second in the map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9hMAm-hpnI
