I was just having a read of the 2K Forums for Mafia 2. Everyone is in an absolute uproar about the game. Multiple people have canceled there pre-orders after hearing how short the Story is (1 Guy completed it in Hard Mode in 8 hours. 8!!) and the lack of Free-Roam etc. Now lot's of people are complaining of the PS3 version suffering from having a bad port.

Apparently, the PS3 version (compared to the 360 and PC versions) has no Grass, No Motion-Blur, No Blood, Clothes have no Physics and many other things.

There's some really unhappy bunnies over there. I hope this doesn't affect 2K's business in any way.

Sorry for double post, but got another request to any of you guys. Again, no rush on how long it takes.

If possible, I would also like the rear seats in the XR to be a similar style to the Recaro. Here is another terrible picture, but it was the best I could find.



Sorry if it sounds like I'm being a bit selfish chaps.

Whoa! Great job!

Thanks alot.

For the first time since joining, people are going on my Ignore list.

This Forum is really going downhill lately.

Quote from bmwe30m3 :

You could provide some better pictures, like exactly from the front of the seats.

I know. I'm trying to find some but it's really hard to come across any pictures that are the light grey cloth ones, and so far, I've not managed to find any high quality pictures.

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

I can try to do these, but I will make it from scratch. Give me some time

Thanks Tomba! Feel free to take as long as you like. I'm in no rush.

Well, that's suddenly made me not want to buy it.

Lack of Multiplayer or Free Roam is no good.

Small bump so more people can see this request, as I posted this thread at an unusual time for most people.

Thanks!

And yet again folks, the LFS Forum shows how often people argue over pointless, pathetic things.

Quote from Migz :

Plus some things im buying are just so i can get experience with fitting that part, i.e gearstick, engine start button, lights ect ect.

If you need experience on doing something as simple as changing a ****ing Gear Knob, then you should really think about not touching Cars.

Frankly, I can't even understand how you can look at a Handbrake Handle covered in plastic crystals, and think "Hmm. That might look good. Let's blow some money on it and find out!". It looks shite Migz! Same goes for all that other crap you bought, just like Lexus Lights. Even the chavs would laugh at you for having them, as they went out of fashion years ago.

Besides, is there any point on spending all that money on a 106, only to crash it like you did with your Fiat?

Hello Guys.

I would like to make a texture request for the XR. I would love it if one of you guys could make a texture that resembles the Light Grey Recaro seats commonly found in Ford Sierra Cosworths. Here are some pictures...









I'm sorry that the pictures are not of the greatest ones to work with. I will try and find some better ones later on Today.

Thanks in advance for anyone who may do this for me!

Regards,
Nathan

Try these.

Ok ok you win, but for me the cars just aren't fun to drive, going to try with my ps2 controller. If I get it to work.

Can't get it to work, do I need a XBOX 360 controller or something?

I have no idea. I'm pretty sure people have managed to get PS2 controllers working on LFS with the adapters you can buy off eBay, so maybe it would work on PC. I know that the Xbox 360 PC Controllers work on Mafia 2 though.

Quote from Agniz :

looks nice and clean. needs only to be slammed to da ground and some nice wheels

And that my friends, is how you ruin a cars handling.

I can't even comment on the Arcade physics, as I haven't even drove a mile with them enabled.

Quote from Uke :

Yes, even with sim mode on the mafia cars just hard to drive, not realistic. Also not fun to drive, in GTA IV however it's fun to drive cars

That is the whole point in Simulation physics. The cars are meant to be more of a challenge to drive fast.

I seriously cannot see how you think the cars in Mafia 2 are not fun to drive though. Coming sideways out of your driveway with both the rear wheels smoking like mad is awesome! Personally though, I think the handling is quite realistic. Go play the demo again, and drive with a controller, not a keyboard.

If you take notice, the cars steering is slow, the suspension is soft and bouncy, and the cars tyres are of a huge profile, which means the car is slow to react to input...In my opinion, that is the way a 1950's car with leaf springs should react!

I was going to Pre-Oder the collectors Edition, but since finding out Mafia 2 will have no Multi-Player, I'm not so sure...

I am really enjoying the Demo though, and I'm spending at least an hour a day on it just messing around! When it gets released, I think I will just rent it out for a week and see what my impressions are, then just buy the collectors edition if I like the game enough.

Not entirely true.

Any Mugen or AMG models still have the Manufacturers name in them, like "Honda Civic MUGEN" or "MB SLK55 AMG". RUF does not. There just called "RUF xxx".

Quote from BlueFlame :

The Quattro system is the best simply because it doesn't pretend to be anything more than 4WD the Quattro system (if flawed in a person opinion) is due to the fact it's 4WD other car companies are constantly trying to big up their 4WD systems using silly words, and trying to makeout that it's more than just a 4WD system, Quattro is the best 4WD system out there.

Just have a listen to yourself for goodness sake. Audi's Quattro System is fantastically average, both in there off road vehicles and performance vehicles. There Transmission system is not the best out there, not by a long shot. There are plenty of 4WD systems out there that offer much more in the terms of driving feedback and grip, as well as pure fun.

Take your god damn Fanboy glasses off.

Quote from Matrixi :

Got 7,500 KM on 'er now.

I don't mean to sound like a brown nose, but your car is a thing of pure beauty! It's nice to see you have kept any modifications subtle.

Quote from BlueFlame :

You've obviously never driven a Quattro system then. Quattro is one of the only 4WD systems that doesn't understeer like a dog on mopped tiles.

Actually, I've drove numerous TT's (both old and new) with the Quattro System, the older shape S3 225, an RS4 and a few other models.

Maybe you should take a look at my post again though. I'm not entirely calling Audi's Quattro System bad, as it does things no better than other AWD systems on the road today. My point was, is that it's not interesting to me. If you like having a Car that pretty much does the driving for you, then great. As for me, I like a Car that has some character and feel, not one that just feels boring through the corners. Even my Honda Accord is more fun than any other Audi I have driven through the corners.

My question to you by the way. Have you ever driven a Audi fitted with a Quattro System, but driven it to the limit? If you have, then you would surely know that they do understeer like a "dog on mopped tiles" in most cases, and it's pretty easy for them to do so.

Quote from Jakg :

Except most decent Audi's can be had with the Quattro system.

You forgot to add "which isn't that exciting either".

I'm picky, no pun intended.

I only eat the slightly aged, yellow Bananas as they are soft and sweet (I hate ripe green Bananas that are tough to bite into. ) and I only eat Red Apples.

Quote from 5tag :

At the end of the sentence were you still talking about driving in first gear? Because keeping it in first is neither any driving experience nor does it tell much about the performance of a car.

You really are being quite a critic lately, aren't you?

Preferably, I would like something HD.

The bundle I was thinking of buying was a Zi8, a Gorilla mount (It's like a twisty piece of tubing, which you can bend around pretty much anything) and a suction mount, and then a 8gb SD Card and a uprated Microphone. In total, it shouldn't come to anymore than £140.

I did realize that some cameras are prone to wobble, hence why the Zi8 seems like a good buy. It can do 1080 and 720p HD videos, with the 720p being in 60FPS. It also has a anti-shake feature.

I'm waiting for my Friend to get back to me on finding me some models to take home for a few days.

Holy crap! Those edits are so awesome Sam!

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Niels bring your car to the garage if you have a car you should automaticly have the money to bring it to the garage if not, sell the car.

What a load of bull.

I'm sure like most people who own a car, he can afford to maintain the car but will occasionally like to have a go himself to save some pennies. Heck, if he has the confidence to give it a shot, why shouldn't he?

It's a shame you don't even have the common sense (Or maybe you just lack any knowledge about cars??) to have a look yourself, before handing it over to the money grabbing grease monkeys who can barely hold a spanner, let alone repair a car.
