  1. DSF has some truly great gamepad arcade physics but I'd never try to play it with a wheel, in difference to TDU1 (even noob mode). The funny thing (from a PC perspective) is that a lot of these classic NFS games with relatively good handling come from a time where PC players weren't all unified with a common controller, but rather a whole variety of different ones, mostly with no analog inputs, and many more only used keyboards. With worse input and processing hardware we somehow had a more believable arcade experience.
  2. You know, I think that might be a goal (by me) Poop Sorry! Well, that was surprisingly effective! Hmm, good hit Uh-oh Yeah this is going in :eek: See the thrilling conclusion (and many more great moments) in:
  3. News arrives on Intel Skylake CPUs, with a high end i5-6600K and i7-6700K processor aimed at gamers in the spotlight +ve's <> Reasonably priced <> 14nm, reduces TDP (power consumption, heat generation), allowing higher overclocks <> 16 PCIE 3.0 lanes, gives you more options for SLI, NVME SSDs, and USB 3.0 -ve's <> Requires new X170/LGA1151 chipset motherboard and expensive DDR4 RAM <> These motherboards aren't futureproofed with the PCIE v4 slots expected in 2017 <> Stock speeds are only 10% higher than last year's equivalent. Also, 10nm Intel CannonLake CPUs are now delayed Some benchmarkers are suggesting that if you have a good Intel CPU from Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, or Haswell, to stick with that for now. If you have a less-than-amazing CPU in that series, then maybe you'll be able to get a good deal on a high-end model being phased out. Make sure you check for compatibility first. Be sure to update this thread with any other new news in the PC Hardware world worth sharing!
  4. Yeah it seemed like the driver made no changes to his driving style with the wet roads... as if they have no effect on the handling (yet). :( Drift spec seemed a minor improvement but looks more gamepad- than wheel-friendly Monster truck playgrounds are part of the map so you can muck about on them in freedrive in any vehicle Bikes seem ok although the camera movement might need adjusting to make it easier to plot a course through traffic Stunts is just another HUD element I'll want to turn off (aka FRIM from TDU2) Instant challenges make a welcome comeback from TDU1, being able to place checkpoints on or off the road, and switch cars via the mobile-garage mid race may make for some interesting strategic play (depending on how long you can make the races)
  5. Drift cars + wet roads... this might just be about to get good!
  6. TDU2 made instances a bit more resilient from such feedback. Is this something that is theoretically doable in an update to Project Paradise? Of course, you don't have to, just curious.
  7. Same story here. Worked fined in 8.1. Pretty sure I tried compatibility mode.
  8. But Forza is still very much Xbox exclusive. Whereas other titles were Xbox and Windows 10 exclusive. I'm guessing the way they prevent it working on Win7 is by using DirectX 12. Maybe Horizon will be the first to dabble in PC. Also Diablo, did you never play Spyro during your childhood?
  9. Was watching bits of the Xbox stream on YouTube but it kept skipping ahead by a few seconds, quite annoying. So confirmation that Xbox DVR is the successor to Windows media Center, but then why can't the Xbox Win10 app recognise a TV tuner in your PC and do everything from there then?
  10. My only worry is what if VW want a cheaper/worse-looking design for this Ypy (Yippee?) so that customers aspire to the bigger, more expensive Amarok. Kind-of like the Gol v Polo v Golf v GTI.... and then you submit a design that looks better... Of course, they could always hire you to design their next concept car instead of a people's car. Cross fingers.
  11. Looks very good, but also looks to have a similar basic shape as the Amarok. Being VW, that might be a good thing. Enough design touches, differences to make yours more exciting though.
  12. Headline is a grip / drift slider which supposedly makes your NFS experience more or less Criterion-y.
  13. Windows Update Automatic Updates - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
  14. According to one article, you better stock up on tissues before playing Ep 4.
  15. So I've been thinking about upgrading my media/web server from Win 7 Home (came with it, was too lazy to reinstall Pro or Ultimate at the time) to Windows 10 Pro. But hosting services like that I don't want Windows pushing out all sorts of updates and shutting down when it feels like it. But I figured there would be a workaround to prevent that. I just had an epiphone though - since I would lose Media Centre anyway, why not install Windows Server 2012 R2 instead? Drivers might potentially be an issue but it's worth further exploration.
  16. Nice to see my old gaming PC (2008-2012) is still loved Just the tower, plus I recently sold him my 680 GTX (was a 480 GTX before) to handle those triple screens.
  17. It seems that M3 GTR is restricted to the 'Deluxe Edition'

  19. Watched all these in the past 10 days: Avengers 2 Age of Ultron: kinda meh Big Hero 6 : good Captain America 2 Winter Soldier: good Furious 7: good Guardians of the Galaxy: decent/meh Interstellar: good Lucy: somewhat interesting/meh Need for Speed: good Amazing Spiderman 2: decent Turbo: not bad Penguins of Madagascar: good for a laugh
  20. Nice. I wonder if they'll bring back the FZR 2000 while they're at it.
  21. Perhaps an interesting question: are you guys jumping through the express (default) profile settings on first login or are you going the custom route and turning certain things off. i.e. I've been turning off: Auto-join open/contacts WiFi networks, share browsing history for Edge prefetch, send advertising tracking ID, and so on. Also a new feature in Windows 10 is P2P Windows updates. You can choose to download updates only from Microsoft (classic), or you can grab them from other PCs on your LAN that already have them or from other PCs on the Internet (somewhat like a Torrent). Personally I'd change it to classic mode just for now just in case there's a security breach. I assume MD5 hashes are used to prevent that.
  22. Just signed into my DreamSpark account but didn't see anything related to Windows 10 at all. Looks like they've stopped giving away Pro versions of Visual Studio as well now that anyone can get their hands on the free Community Edition (which is still a good thing).
  23. Just a shame they also seem to have the driving physics of Battlefront Games :lol: Can I get a :hi5: Of course I don't mind if it's arcade, just as long as it's not Ridge Racer or Burnout Paradise super-unrealistic handling applied to licensed cars.
