To join a car club you need an invite from the owner. I'm afraid the best Beex club is full, but I think the second string club has a slot left.


Does the fullness include unaccepted invites?

Nope, so if you were planning to accept, you've missed out!

You'll have to start "Beex with a vengeance" :)

The comparisons to PGR put me off (which I found not much fun). Plus the wheel situation on the ps4.

If the space was being reserved, there would've been a slim chance to reconsider, but probably would've gone for the "Free it up for someone else" option.

It's only like PGR in the way it's an arcade/sim crossover (like Forza Horizon). The tracks are much, much better and it's not anywhere near as focused on Kudos. You can skip the drift events entirely if you wish.

I like it a lot.

It's a shame, but it just means I'll likely get Project Cars on PC instead. I keep my wheel in the office anyway.

If this game plays half as good as it looks then I don't think I'll be playing anything else for the rest of the year.

Played some more of this last night and joined the club. There's a lot of straights isn't there?

I'm not actually sure how much I like it but I somehow managed to play it for a couple of hours straight trying to chip away at times / challenges / getting medals so it's certainly has something that keeps you coming back for more.

Also those courses where the sun is in your eyes are terrifying and almost annoying but then the terror makes it worth the effort.

Once you get to the faster cars they seem a lot shorter and a lot less straight.

Main tour done, I suspect i'll do the free DLC too, not sure if i'm going to bother going for all the stars. Some of them only seem possible with the high level reward cars, I guess i'll see what level I get to playing the DLC.

The AI in the higher class cars is a total cunt at times. Barrelling down a straight at nigh on 200mph, and you can almost guarantee that if you are anywhere near an AI driver, they will give you a nudge, if not just drive straight into you, which at those speeds can be tricky to deal with.
If you give up trying to drive clean and just drive through them then it makes the game a bit easier, but doesn't seem as sporting.

I drove a car just a minute ago. I went to the petrol station to get some fags. It was mainly all straights. Apart from two right turns, fortunately I was awake, which I wouldn't be if I was playing any driving game that wasn't Burnout.

Ruining your fun am I? Pow. In your collective faces.

I feel I never gave this game a fair crack of the whip. I managed several races, and was fairly blown away by the way it looked and the sense of speed was good - but I fear I'm too much an arcade racer bod.

Can someone do a new Split Second? I'll buy it and everything.

And someone ensure this never happens:

Eurogamer story

"Criterion founder Alex Ward noted on Twitter that the Burnout studio was also offered the opportunity to work on the first Forza, Mad Max, a Vauxhall only racer, a Command & Conquer FPS and a Gone in 60 Seconds game."

I dunno, razzing a 1988 Belmont around the streets of Bedfordshire could be pretty fun.

Heh. I'd be interested if they included my first car, a rust-chewed Vauxhall Nova that stank of dog, even though we didn't have a dog. And my dad's racing-green Carlton CDX, a car capable of losing more than 10 mph when you turned the aircon on.

Ooh, I have no idea what mine was. I had no concept of anything beyond 3-door and 5-door back then. (it was a 3 door, dog-Nova fans). Yours sounds like it might have been rather fast.

It was - especially for a young oik. It had a really good gearbox.

I had the obligatory dual 15" subs and 6x9" Alpines on the rear parcel shelf.

Worth a fucking fortune now, of course.

The first car I drove after passing my test was my dads two tone (brown and gold!) Opel Kadett D.

I remember it was tougher than fences and didn't like it when you forgot to replace the engine cap. :)

My first car was a Vauxhall Astra. I could barely see over the wheel (a problem I still have). I had a great big Eazy-E laminate covering the back window. Beautiful it was. The laminate, that is. The car was shit.

Mine was a white 205 XS with a big red XS down the side, Recarro seats etc.. I bought it solely to irritate my girlfriend of the time after she had said I should pay for everything. So I bought it for £275 and picked her up outside her work as she had told her friends I had a new car and was on my way. It was 2007 I think. We split up soon after.

Mine was a red ford Sierra estate 1.8 petrol whose tyres were worn enough to get a workable drift going across the central reservation at the A9s Dunkeld junction. It died when the police followed me through Perth one day then pulled me over and served me with a scrapping order because the smoke had left oily streaks up their windscreen. Loved that car, comfiest barge ever.

For anyone who still has this but not played it for a while it's well worth grabbing the update and firing it up again. There's a nice new PGR style track some new cars and a hardcore handling mode. Plus you've forgotten how bloody good it is anyway. Been having a blast on it the last few nights. Blasting some big Mercedes racing car thing through a Scottish road in the rain and lightning last night was properly amazing.

That's probably given me the prod I need to go back and revisit it. I quite enjoyed it and played it through to a certain point and then stopped. Not sure why.
