    Did anyone get to EG to play this on the consoles ?

    Some of the reports seem to suggest it was a bit lacking ...
    Yeah, I went yesterday and had a go.

    I went to EGX with this as the game I couldn't wait to play, but I left slightly disappointed. Not at the game really but what was on offer.

    There were just two tracks on offer, Silverstone and Dubai Autodrome, and only about 3 cars I think? Really stupid considering the mountain of cars and tracks that are on the game! I only got to try the game out on a pad, but the handling of an LMP1 style car was poor. Very light steering, just not what you would expect. The other car was better, an Aston Martin GT car.

    The graphics were stunning though, and I played it on a PC eventually running about 60fps I think? Really impressive, with great weather and sound, and in the low sunlight it's very good. The HUD is great, and you can change what you see in game by pressing a button which is great. So you can go from nothing to everything pretty much! They have a great driver cam view too, which leans into corners, really good.

    Didn't manage to try it on a wheel (there was one stand) as the queue was stupidly long, but apparently it was much better there.

    I was slightly disappointed though. Why couldn't we play all those cars and tracks. GT6 last year, you could drive about 25 cars on about 12 tracks so I spent hours there. Here, probably 20 minutes?

    Honestly, LBP3 was my favourite game from the day...

  2. I went to EGX yesterday and queued for 45 mins to play this game with a mate. So here is my short and not well written review.

    I had no idea what to do when I started. I had a gun and I could run, then there were these monsters and I shot them but I was smashed by them about 10 times in the space of 7 minutes. I was on a team I think but I wasn't any help so sorry to my team mates. But the graphics were fantastic, sound again, great, and with the headphones on full blast, sometimes quite scary!

    A great game, but I had no idea.

  3. I do laugh at a lot of these 'facts'. If they're so sure on Alonso to McLaren then why aren't they doing all they can to spread the word to the journos, getting their name there as the people who discovered the move was happening. Where do they get their sources from?

    I don't believe anything I've read until it pops up on Autosport.com

    Came back from work and one of the dogs had changed the channel from watching cartoons to watching This Morning....lol I always leave the TV on for them. The youngest loves watching it, especially when there's fast moving things on o:)
    OMG, what a coincidence. We leave our dog at home and leave him in the lounge, but today we left the TV on for him! He was watching Top Gear on Dave haha

    Best community manager, what?!?! :D

    Anyway, my nominations, and it's a shame we don't have a full year of stuff to review when making these nominations due to the forum situation, but here we go...

    Best Thread: The Stuff Thread, it's there every year and still going strong
    Best Young Member: f1since08, he's doing a super job running the predictor game this year too, better than I did :p
    Best Old Member: Well, to be classed as old here you're still actually very young, so I'd probably say RevolvingPrawn

    Most Missed Member: The Big A, he's been gone a couple of years now but he was great on the vBulletin forums. He was about the same age as me too which was cool and he went to a similar school as I do, so we were quite similar, and he posted so well for his age. Also a shout out to AL0NS0FAN even though he can act like a douche on Twitter
    Worst Thread: Wanna Play Thread http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/481/wanna-play-thread#latest
    Epic Thread Revival: The Weather Thread, it dies 10 times every year but still remains on the first page of the forum
    Best Community Manager: justbiglee, when there was a problem getting my competition prize bundle to me he was so cool with it, awesome, and he does so much work on the forum, interacting loads with the DiRT guys
    Worst Comeback: Probably AMS or GoldenColt as they're usually embroiled in some heated F1 debate battle, there's normally a cringy post somewhere
