grid drifting is always fun, so is bashing up people in the demo derbbyyyy, they shoulda added more of both imo.

[TedShred]

nice drivin' man:coolup:

[Cutless009]

Whats ur max score? My max drift scores is like 42.5mil D:

[Jtrain]

so far its like 10 million or something like that but i mean i've only had the game installed for a week

[Hondacity]

that was booooring

drifting + racing is so much better,,,,

[Cutless009]

then do a drift GP, thats where I get my top scores


btw new top score = 54,897,432

[mcoffey]

Now that was pretty cool. Haven't played the game yet, so now I'm interested.

thanks,

andyc

[Cutless009]

just be warned mcoffey, it is bar none the most addicting racing game on the planet.

[Cutless009]

new top: 81,813,904. GO GO SIDEWAYS.

What controls are you guys playing this game with on the PC? I've got an Xbox 360 controller, played the demo of the game but never got into it. Might have to pick this back up....

[Silverion77]

keyboard and mouse FTW!!!

Bale...its a great game. Imo it didnt get the attention it should've gotten
Besides drift, the tougue? (think thats right) and destruction derbies are fun

[Cutless009]

Im all keyboard and mouse for everything, even grid.

Its spelled Togue, but who cares?!

Nothing beats mouse+keyboard for FPS games in my opinion. Just so much more accurate. Only thing I use a gamepad for is third person action/adventure, racing games sometimes if Im not using my wheel.

[Jtrain]

I'm playing it with a Logitech MOMO steering wheel it may be a little bit harder, but its soo much more fun. Cutless what tracks are you on for drift GP to get these scores? Also what car are you using, right now my favorite is my SRT-8 Charger and i've used all the other cars too my least favorite atm is the Rx-7, just because i have to use a completely different style to drive it

[Cutless009]

That score was obtained with the RX-7 :P I dont rmember what track I was on, I just do random ones with random cars, Im pretty good with most of them, they each have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to drifting. The RX-7's strength is its high speed, keep the revs high and toss her in early, counter steer and use the throttle gingerly through the corner and ull end up with anice long fast drift, but keep the angles low, she likes to get the ass end around really quickly past about 30 degrees of angle.

[Jtrain]

No matter how many times i use the Rx-7 i can't really get used to it. Are you playing with the traction control on or off? right now i have it on, but again i've only been playing for 1-2weeks so i have loads of time to experiment. i enjoy doing all the drifting modes but whenever i race+drift at the same time i end up flying thru the corners and running into people because the AI moves SOOOO SLOW!

[Cutless009]

I drive with all aids on. If the AI moves too slow for you, turn the difficulty up :P

Now that was pretty cool. Haven't played the game yet, so now I'm interested.

Same here. Never gave it any consideration.
What a great looking game. But I'm sorry, that does not sound like a 6.1 hemi.
I can totally overlook it though. The graphics are awesome, even in a low-res youtube vid.

[MomijiTMO]

The graphics are pretty. Damage is great except for open wheelers. . . . wow I can tap a all and receive NO damage =D.

It's pretty addictive and not using the replays nabs you more money. However there comes a point where you have so much money you get bored and increase the difficulty settings. I got to that stage and I don't play the game anymore. Maybe I'll start a new one.

Lol it dosen't sound like a 6.1 hemi which upset me, also the video should be in HD so you can get a better example of the graphics. Playing with a steering wheel while drifting is the most fun i've had in a looooong time.:)

Alright I just picked this game up, and have been fighting with the controls (keyboard) for a fucking hour. I CANNOT play this mother fucking game with a mother fucking keyboard.... FUUUUUCCCKKKK!!!!

Now, I feel better haha.

Seriously, I was dissapointed that I couldn't steer with the mouse at all.... you can't fucking use the mouse for anything... it's all keyboard, all the way. I've tryed several custom layouts, nothing has worked so far.

I'm gonna plug in the Xbox360 controller and see where that gets me. Any input/help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated.

[Hondacity]

crap i need to find my free grid cd, it didn't work well with my 8800gts...

I use an x-box controller to play grid. I am way better with it than a steering wheel.

[Baleful]

I just tried it out with the Xbox360 controller, and it worked out much better than the keyboard. I don't see how you guys were using the keyboard, at all.

Still gotta get used to using the controller, been years since I've really used the damn thing....

[ILikeCosmosS]

i think drift is good game i might get also i will get wheelman


i cant play cod3 on my ps2 with two analogue sticks i need a keyboard bale
although i can play racing easily its impossible without a keyboard

[Jtrain]

Hondacity which version of thee 8800 gts were you using? Right now I'm using a G80 8800GTS 640Mb and its working pretty well i do go lag at some points but I've never had lag so bad to the point to make the game unplayable.

As for the keyboard situation i can sympathize with you, i have never been able top play racing games with the keyboard. So getting my Logitech MOMO wheel was a good investment although I've definitely worn down the pedals.
