Well last night was a good warm up, hopefully the full game awaits me this evening!RallyDriven said:Glad you've finally got a taste of it again!
I think you should consider yourself lucky you haven't got a PS4: you'd look awfully silly when the newbie kicks your ass around Lydden. ;)MastaVonBlasta said:@tbtstt Finally :) It's a bit of a shame we won't now be able to remind you of what you've been missing out on :)
I wish I had a PS4 to show you how it's done around Lydden Hill or Holjes :tongue: :tongue:

Well massive thanks to you and everyone who put in a word for me: I am very grateful to you all!JZStudios said:
Well, I heard Ben put in Mexico and a RS1800, so you should be pretty pumped for that. :D I'm also going to take more credit than I probably should for getting you that PS4 code!tbtstt said:
Interesting to see the press reaction thus far to the console release.

I see that the advance code competition is closed, so I now have my fingers (and other limbs) crossed...
I unpacked the PS4 and began downloading as soon as I got in from work last night (obviously!). It's a pretty chunky file (just under 43 GB in total) so I started it off, then popped out for an hour. Came back to find the progress bar was, surprisingly, over half full. 30 minutes later and it said it was ready so, full of excitement (far more than any adult should have for a game) I fired it up, entered my name, tweaked the options and got ready for some rallycross...
...however it turned out the PS4 was lying! It seems the game is "ready" once it has reached approximately 15%. At that stage you can open the game, set all the options and the like, but the bulk of the content is still downloading. Still it wasn't all bad, as you can play two "preview" rally events at that point, one in a Mini Cooper, the other in a Mk.II Escort.
Decided to start easy, so I went with the Mini: glad I did, as even with the Mini I was initially struggling! Managed to inadvertently get my first trophy after about 10 corners (I barrel rolled!), but after a few stages it started to click and soon after I claimed my first fastest sector time: hurrah!
Read the PS4 manual and discovered you can enable downloading while in "rest" mode, so I left it resting overnight. As of this morning it had downloaded about 20GB, so I'm hoping it might be all done by this evening. -

As we have reached such a momentous occasion - and with DiRT Rally about to come full circle and get released on console - an appearance from @justbiglee would surely be appropriate!789ifyz said:JZStudios said:Hey! Page 500 of the Gossip thread! I feel like we deserve a reward.
500 pages of off-topic ramblings, nonsensical hypotheses and car-name arguments #S1E22BRinusRally said:500 pages of joy, grief and everything between that <3 -
Haha! I think it's going to take more than the cost of a PS4 to win that auction @ThierryNeuville! Shamefully the PS4 arrived last week and I haven't event turned it on yet! Will try and get it set up before the weekend so it's ready to go for next Tuesday.ThierryNeuville said:tbtstt said:
Haha, I appreciate the continuing thoughts @JZStudios! I actually visited Codemasters back in October 2014, so I played the game (in it's pre-release form) 17 months ago.JZStudios said:On a side note, I just went back to the first page, and @tbtstt has been waiting FOR 2 YEARS! HOLY CRAP!
Don't worry tbtstt, it'll happen. Seriously, can we just give this guy a break and send him a copy?
Still the good news today, is that 517 days after my first (and only) proper play of the game, it's just 7 days until release, hurrah!
@tbtstt perhaps you can return ur PS4 and cancel DiRT Rally, and save your money for this auction:

:P Just kidding ofc! Just go for DiRT rally its awesome! :D -

Sainz only drove for SWRT in 1994 and 1995, so it wouldn't have been his car if he was talking about a latter generation Impreza WRCar.F2CMaDMaXX said:Also, someone can swat me down for this as i might be off-base, but, talking about rev limits, the 2001 Impreza? I saw Colin McRae taking (i think) Penny Mallory) for a drive/spin in (i think) Saintz' Impreza, and he commented it didn't rev as high as his older version, that it makes all it's power low down (similar to the EvoX R4).
He does mention rev limits in this video with Vicki-Butler Henderson whilst driving Petter Solberg's S9 Impreza WRCar, is this the one you are thinking of?

(At around the 1:25 mark)
I would personally say that the latter 2.0L turbo WRC engines all share broadly similar characteristics; i.e. delivering a lot of torque very low down in the rev range.

What time is the concert? Just do both! I did the MotoGP and a concert on the same day back in 2014. Was busy, but was an awesome combo! (Though I was pretty tired the next day)MBKF1 said:Well I say that now, I've just realised I've got a concert I've got to do on that day :s That's so annoying! Also I'm busy on the Sunday so I'll just have to go on the Friday. Bit of a shame as there aren't any races on but at least all three championships are in action a couple of times each.w
Off to Lydden on Sunday for the second round of the British Rallycross Championship. My first motorsport outing of the year and I cannot wait, seems to have been a very long off season! -
Rewinding to a conversation a couple of pages back...
...any advance on this @KickUp? Will DR/CM be at Lydden?KickUp said:
Possibly. I seem to remember someone mentioning that the game would be there but perhaps not in an official capacity.tbtstt said:Will there be any Codemasters presence at Lydden Hill for the second round of the British Rallycross Championship (at the end of March) @KickUp, or only at the World round? -
Excellent! Only a minor thing, but every video I've seen of the car selection screen always seems to show each car starting at livery 1: was curious if that feature had been retained.KevM said:Yep! -
Haha, fair point!RyuMakkuro said:
Aye, Allied Assault was great, though I still prefer the first ones more. Destroying the V2 rocket in the very first MoH... dem feels. In any case, enough of this off-topic or Skiddy will have our asses xD
Not gossip, but a minor game-related question to bring the thread back on topic: does DiRT Rally remember your fave livery choice for each car? (the same way that DiRT 3 did?) -
Storming Normandy beach: still one of the best gaming monents of all time!RyuMakkuro said:
When it comes to arcade shooters, I personally prefer Unreal Tournament 3 or something of the sorts. If you do something, do it properly or don't do it at all. Wish they would remake the Medal of Honor games, starting with the very first on the PSX. Ahh... those were the times. Still remember how killing enemies from close range with shotgun made them do a backflip :Dtbtstt said:
Ha! I have enjoyed a lot of the COD games @RyuMakkuro (in fact I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who liked Ghosts!), but the last few have done nothing for me. I have played a bit of Blacks Ops II and briefly played Black Ops III a couple of weeks ago: both seemed a bit much, especially online. with the stupid costumes and the like. -
It's OK @F2CMaDMaXX, I saw it years ago (on VHS!) and thought it was a bit cheesy, but it's worth a watch if you see it cheap. The more recent "Madness on Wheels" is a bit sensationalist, but much better put together (in my personal opinion).F2CMaDMaXX said:Seeing as we're amazingly off topic still ;) Anyone seen "Still Too Fast to Race - Group B Rally" Any good?
The "a la une" series are still my fave Group B videos, as they don't have any commentary, just pure footage. They are all very difficult to find these days though.

Hah, and here I thought I would be posting a hint on what to do with it xD Great minds think alike xD
...first job: get Black Ops III out of the box and sell it on ebay!
Given where it fits into the timeline I was expecting as much @JZStudios. Peace Walker (and Ground Zeroes) have stories within them, but they don't really contribute that much to the overall MGS storyline. It's a Metal Gear game though, so I'm already sold!JZStudios said:
MGS5 is a FANTASTIC game, but no spoilers, it doesn't really have a conclusive ending, it just ends without answering any questions, and raises new ones. >:)tbtstt said:
Already have Last Of Us on PS3 (it's actually the last game I bought for it!). Phenomenal game - and I'm sure it looks better on PS4 - but I have recently played it through twice, so I don't really fancy playing it again. Have played DriveClub on several mates PS4's: fun, but I wasn't blown away by it.Darhour said:
Alright!!!! :blush:tbtstt said:
BEST. IDEA. EVER.Darhour said:Gossipers should get their free copies of a DiRT game of their choice+ A booklet of future hints and gossip material.
I mean we are a family, right? :lol:
In semi-related news, I just got a delivery...
...first job: get Black Ops III out of the box and sell it on ebay!
Get the Last of Us and DriveClub *whispering* :blush:
MGS5 is the only other game I really want for the PS4 at the moment: I'm a huge fan of the series and I deferred buying MGS5 on the PS3 so I can see it at it's best on the PS4!
It has been a rather long wait @griev0r: 512 days since I saw the game at CM, just 11 to go before I get to play it again!griev0r said:
Yeah I agree, this poor guy has been watching videos of us playing and talking about it forever, never being able to play it himself! Hook him up!tbtstt said:

Haha! I wasn't expecting it to turn up until next week, got to spend two weeks looking at it now waiting for DiRT!dgeesi0 said:can just imagine the sweaty paws as you open it :)the wait for dirt rally is real... :p -

TWO WEEKS TO GO! In anticipation of the console release I have (finally) placed an order with Amazon...
...need any last minute pre-release PS4 testing done next week @KickUp? :smiley: -
Best moment in the trailer at 1:09: slow motion Group A Impreza, in proper colours, sideways on full lock.
