Rally Pat

That clip got uploaded to YouTube for anyone who cant see the FB link.

Someone posted up a new video if it going by, let me know if you can't get to it.

Links broken =(

He took down the pics and vids he took, I think for some reason it has to do with the Top Gear shoot. For whatever reason the one pic I linked to still works, but it's no longer on his FB news feed.

Local boy Ryan Scott @ 0:53! Woot!!

Yeah, I didn't point him out. Figured no one here would know who he was. lol

Video from a stage start, I don't know which stage. Launch didn't go that well it looks like.

Fuck both consoles. I'm getting Oculus Rift.

Rift support has been hinted at for both consoles.

They are also apparently shooting a Top Gear USA segment at this rally too.

Nameless does some awesome work. What's up with the rear subframe bit, did they do that for diff protection, or to modify suspension grab points?

Its mainly so that the diff and subframe can be replaced quickly, although strength is an added bonus.

Edit: I also just read that they did change the suspension points as well.

Heres another one that just got posted. Remember, this car is literally brand new, so pictures of it are still coming in.

This car was built literally over the last 30 days or so. The first rally they are debuting it at is this weekend. Its been prepared for Will Orders, who is an aussie who competed over here last year with his 600 HP Silvia that he brought over with him.

I have no idea if these pictures will show up from Facebook, if they don't I will have to fix it.

This was just for testing, the car is intercooled now, but has been running on corn since they added the turbo.

From another facebook, these pictures were just taken.

This just in, Microsoft backs off. Now all they need to do is come down $100, and they might win some people back.

Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.

 

For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.

 

Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One.

 

You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.

 

So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:

 

An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

 

Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.

 

In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console — there will be no regional restrictions.

 

These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.

 

We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to challenge the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity. While we believe that the majority of people will play games online and access the cloud for both games and entertainment, we will give consumers the choice of both physical and digital content. We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds.

 

Thank you again for your candid feedback. Our team remains committed to listening, taking feedback and delivering a great product for you later this year.

Well, I pulled the trigger today.

 

Blue FRS, manual, no options, build date 6-21-13, hoping for delivery first week of July. Then, off to Accelerated to get the warranty voided.

 

Hitting the streets of Columbus by this time next month, if all goes well. :masturboy:

Oh man, I am excited.

That looks excellent. I wasn't sure if it was on TV somewhere or in theatres, and when I Googled it I saw it was originally a kickstarter project.

Yeah, I am a very proud backer of the project. It started out as a documentary about the still relatively unknown/unpopular rally scene in North America, but it has since expanded to include pretty much all rally worldwide. Its being made by Matt Johnston, who is an American rally driver himself. This is the motorsport I am the most passionate about, even though I've been accused on CR of being a "poser" since I don't actually rally (its a very expensive sport, even at the cheapest levels. Someday.). Anytime I can get an opportunity to get it out there, I will take it. It's what I was raised around by a father who was a rally driver and a lot of his friends who were drivers and co-drivers.

There will be an official screening when it is done in Michigan, and a rally team in Dayton is trying to put a closer one together, but as a backer I get a 1080p copy of the movie when it's done. Maybe we can have a small viewing party somewhere.

Here are some earlier teasers with some cool shots:

So how do they keep the balloons aloft? Balloons slowly lose their air over time.

I think the video mentioned that they land them for maintenance.

The first test:

GT is better than forza tho

I don't know, 5 sucked balls. I bought it the first day it came out, even invested in their $200 wheel for it. Traded the game in the next day and was stuck with the wheel. Good thing it has PC support though, came in handy for Dirt3 on Steam.

Nice! Welcome.

I have an 02 WRX wagon and an 06 2.5i (which will be for sale shortly). Lots of Subaru owners on here.

great games, don't forget Metal Gear!

 

on a side note the PS4 will be compatible for cross-play with the PS Vita, iPad/iPhone or any smart phone and tablet.

Didn't forget Metal Gear, its just not an exclusive. MGS4 is the only one that is. MGS1 came out on PS1/PS3/PC, MGS2 came out on PS2/Xbox/PC/PS3/360, MGS3 came out on PS2/Xbox/3DS/PS3/360, Peace Walker came out on PSP/Vita/PS3/360. MGS4 would have come out for Xbox, except that it is one of the only games that uses up an entire 50 something gig Bluray disk, and would have had to have been released on several DVD's (from Kojima himself).

But while we are talking about it, check out the new Red Band trailer for MGSV which will be released for Xbone/PS4/360/PS3 and even PC, featuring Keifer Sutherland as the new voice of Big Boss. Probably NSFW.

Well I haven't played a playstation in awhile. Time to catch up on some exclusive franchises I have missed over the past 5 years.

They have some good exclusives for sure, I suggest the 3 Uncharted games. The first one is a bit crap at times and occasionally unfairly difficult, but worth getting through because the other 2 are fantastic. Especially if you are a sucker for large setpiece moments in games like I am.
