I watched the 15-minutes video posted before and I think it's looks very intriguing. I won't be creating games, not my style, but I'd like playing other people's creations. I'm assuming you can download others' games.
Fanatec probably does make the best wheels, but they are expensive. I don't think they've announced a model for the XBox One, which is causing a lot of sleepless nights for the hardcore Forza fans. Mad Catz and Thrustmaster have announced XBox One wheels, but their track record is not nearly as good as Fanatec.Check out the CSR elite wheel, pedals, and shifter. For the wheel alone it is 600 euros. It has 100% adjustable tension, dead zone etc. The pedals are 150 euros and have independent adjustment and mounting so you can invert them to it sways from the top vs the bottom. Supposedly the absolute best and most realistic wheel.
Another reason to hate Ryse: Son of Rome. It goes to an optional pay to win model. It has micro transactions to progress faster in multiplayer. You can spend real money instead of earning it in the game.

well there had to be some reason amazon picked nov 27th as their estimated release date. if they had absolutely no clue, it would have been 12/31 like the ps4.
Considering the G27 costs like $299, it's more like $100 for the Ferrari logo. >_>
i think that is a great feature and wish more games did that to be honest.
time = money
sometimes people don't want to spend time grinding away for hours to unlock something and would rather just pay a few bucks for it.
...or unless you're making a MMO, stop trying to design your game to be a grind fest?

i don't see how one could be bothered by this. it's not like they are getting something you can't get, they are just getting it by spending money instead of spending time. if you don't want to spend money to get it, spend the time to get it.
i guess you hate forza too, even though it's on your launch title list, because you can buy cars with real money if you don't feel like earning/using in game money for it. at least in forza horizon you can.
Nobody calls forza microtransactions though. Car packs often come with special paint schemes too.
What does happen sometimes is people who are willing to just pay money to get the armor or whatever get a clear advantage over people who play the game naturally. Sometimes this can imbalance the game where an inexperienced player is overpowered. I did say it was optional and I understand that you don't gotta do it. I just disagree with the practice.
i'm talking about in forza horizon when you are in the garage, and you can either buy your car with 100k credits, or you can buy it with 2 tokens. how do you get those tokens? you purchase them with real money.
it is the exact same principle. you can pay for tokens or take your time to earn the 100k credits in game.
I don't remember that. I only had horizon for a short time. I know that in the other forza games they have car packs with special paint schemes or a collection of Japanese or American sports cars. Something like that. It has been a little while.
Anyway I disagree with paying real money to get ahead in the game.
I think the option to spent time vs money should be there. It shouldn't be pay only to get this feature. As long as I can spend my time to earn a certain item or character than I'm fine. But force me to pay to continue so I can play, well then I stop really caring.
Just watch out what you wish for. I can see developers getting big heads and making an option to pay 10$ for an unlock or playing some unreasonable amount of time (think 500 hours) to unlock something.
In ftp games I can see their motives because they need to encourage you to pay for some things but in a game that costs 60$out of the box, this would get Me upset (but this could become the norm and it is just starting g).
Here's a link with all of the day one launch titles listed in it. I'm honestly not sure if this has been posted before, but for the few people who preordered here's what you could be playing day one.

In regards to buying upgrades in games, I get how someone could be bothered by it, we've been taught all our lives (most of us) that it's bad to buy something rather than earn it in regards to games.. but this is a video game not sports. All that hard work means nothing when the next version of the game is released, and if someone wants to skip parts of a game I fail to see an issue. It's not like it effects anyone else.. if it starts to, like somehow someone can pay to unlock higher damage weapons in multiplayer then yeah, I'd agree that was jacked up.

Ballmer to retire. I sure hope MS doesn't pick someone who screws everything up. =( He was actually a nice guy. I met him once at a technology conference.
Everything is already screwed up...on all fronts. They need fresh blood and ideas. I'd say they should hire the people from Apple, but even they are pretty stagnant as of late.
Yep, its fantastic, too bad it probably won't work on the XBone (because that's how MS does things with Xbox). Anyone that has one will have to get rid of it and buy a new one if they want to play Forza 5.
It will work with PS4 though. /troll
heh the funny thing is, they had new ideas and were taking the console in a new direction, but reverted all of those to make the console a more "traditional" console because of all the backlash.
