That is indeed my phone. Thanks!

I am right in assuming that when the phone is rooted, it will still act the same as now (i.e I can download stuff from the Playstore, call people etc?) except with the added benefit of being able to remove the in-built apps. Am I right?

Yes that's right, there are apps in the store that you can use to remove these 'bloatware' apps

Assuming this is your phone, (please check before doing anything)

Hope it helps, if not go on YouTube, your bound to find a tutorial.

Isn't it 99% like the Infernus from GTA V?

Seems like it lol




Those latest images look amazing, especially the plane flying over the river. Makes GTA IV look so dated lol

Quote from Omar1 :

okay well how do i get it to work anyway? xD

You need to get Xpadder, then map the wheel to 'emulate' a Xbox 360 Controller.

There are guides on YouTube.

Quote from Omar1 :

i've heard you can get some sort of FFB

All you will get is vibration, the game doesn't have any force feedback as it was built for a xbox controller

Quote from Omar1 :

Any of you managed to use your wheels with GTA IV? I want to use my DFGT!

It is possible, but why would you want to - there will be no force feedback.

Some really bad photo's of me in there lol!

Nice karting shots though, new avatar

Quote from Bose321 :

Those are just rumours and speculations, unless this Zavvi person, whoever it may be, is a trusted source.

I however think a release somewhere at the end of 2012 would be possible looking at the rate of screenshots and the level of detail in them.

Zavvi was Virgin Megastores in the UK, they are quite a big online UK company now.

I still agree that it will come out this year, if not then I hope it really is as good as it looks.

Source please.

Following the news yesterday , we contacted the Zavvi asking you to confirm the release date set for Grand Theft Auto V.

"I can confirm that this is the release date forward by our supplier. If the release date change, our website will be updated immediately."

BUT

Quote :

Update: After an afternoon around the release date of GTA V at Zavvi again contacted Eurogamer Portugal stating that the date is "a date waiting," not based on a "confirmation from our supplier on the release date of Grand Theft Auto V ".

The Zavvi adds, "The date of November 23 has been removed from our website."

Quote from flymike91 :

looking at the jet screenshot I think the playable character is the old dude.

I believe it has already been confirmed that there are 5? or multiple playable protagonists.

Not sure if it has been said already but Zavvi confirmed the release date atm as 23 November 2012.

This is the date that Rockstar has gave them.

Quote from 5tag :

A 2.3 litre with just 160 hp? That's laughable to say the least, PSA built 1.9 with 157 hp in the early nineties...

I think Honda's B16B is even better, late nineties?

1.6 litre = 185 hp

Thanks to Jason and everyone else for a great weekend. Was nice to meet everyone!

The Karting was awesome, especially in the wet. Had a good sprint race/endurance and surprised myself at how I was doing.

Aching a lot now though lol

Hopefully will see everyone again next year

Thanks again Jason!

A few pictures,

In the first video at around 6:14 when the BMW is drifting it looks exactly like Gran Turismo 5..

Just looks like a mix of Forza, GT5 and pCars.

Quote from Omar1 :

Sweet! Where do you get your footage from?

Quote :

The content of the movie is racing of our prestigious leagues, mostly. I also used some other footage, too.

Great video btw!

TDU2 is terrible, get TDU1 and the expansion pack - then unlock Hardcore mode, sooo much fun to drive the cars - you can even download some community made cars.

Quote from Omar1 :

It's demo so it wont let me :/

iirc you can't get the FFB to work on the demo? Get the full game and it will work when you patch the game.

Only a few quid of eBay?

Japanese cars first of all

Toyota Integra Type-R DC2

I guess you typoed that.

Be careful though, don't start hating BMWs

Why don't you get it off the Logitech website??

Not really anything special, taken with a Canon 400D + 50mm lens

Here is the first trailer for GRID 2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yKCS8B6_SA&feature=plcp

So race cars appear to have been replaced by (tuneable?) road cars. There are a few previews lurking around game sites, and some say cockpit view has been axed since 95% of players didn't use it.

Looks just like the NFS Shift series, maybe a bit of Project Gotham Racing too..

Quote from tommer :

Hi guys, hoping for some responses from experienced people who're good with setups and technical know-how here

So, I'm working on an fxo setup, and basically what i'm doing is doing a lap, then watching the replay, observing the forces on the car and tyre heat/how much is actually on the surface of the road etc.

What I notice is.. around the sharper corners, the front inside tyre (closest tyre to the corner) is spinning and leaving a nice skid line behind it.

Observing the forces I think it's safe to conclude that this tyre has no-weight on it around the corner and infact it might even be being slightly lifted at points which would be an obvious cause of the skidding.

My question is.. Is there a way to prevent it from skidding? I tried adding lots of anti-roll to the front and stiffening it up in the hopes this would help keep it firmly on the ground so that the car wouldn't 'tip' but this didn't make much of a difference I still see skidmarks and the weight still very much goes to the outside of the car..

Any suggestions?

The FXO eats up the front tyres a lot lol, maybe change the spring stiffness - softer/harder. Otherwise I can't really help you out with that, maybe get a race setup and have a look at if it has the same problem? If not then compare the settings?

Maybe try and take the corner with less acceleration or steering?

Quote from spankmeyer :

Looks like ass to be honest. If it's studio developed with investor money it'll end up compromised to the death to suit most people.



to teh airfield tonight!

Fair enough, I think it looks a lot more polished and seems to have a wider range of things you can do.

The closed beta is happening soon, I've signed up so if I get it I'll let you know how it compares

Anyone interested in this??

I think it looks a lot better than DayZ (even if it is a copy - it has been in development before DayZ)
