Nice to hear an Irish accent in the game

Am I missing something but how do you unlock the online play ? When I try to open it it just says "keep playing the game to unlock" I guess you have to get to a certain level or something which could take a while because I'm not very good

Not sure but I've already seen guys on my friends list actually the 1st thing I was told to do was find someone and do a head to head but I think it was scripted and just used his gamertag.

I like it uses your real name.

Oh wow the Kinect support really works well likely works with a head set too but haven't tried it, you just say Anna and then yes or no to what she suggests.

Game tags from my friends list were popping up on a load of different cars so I guess it just gets them from whoever is on line at the time.

The Irish accent is a nice touch and for once it's not the " Hollywood Irish" lol

It didn't take long.
Just follow the "guided tour": you do a showcase, a race, a drift thing, a jump thing, and raise enough points to select a second horizon festival location. After that, you can play online, but you're limited to the one race, I think.

No PC demo until after launch :rolleyes:

Quite a good bit of content in the demo. It's good to see that level of confidence in the game from the devs.

AH does it not save your progress ????? Just put it on there now having played a bit last night and i'm back to square one :mad:

No it doesn't, I found that out the hard way too. I played it up to the point of unlocking online play had to leave for an hour and when I restarted it went right back to the start

Lucky for them they've done a good job convincing me I should buy this

Really think it's a misstep not having a pc demo pre-release, unless of course it's got problems !!!!!

It could have been something to do with the cross play not been ready ?

Yeah it was a nice sample of what will be coming in the game.

Less than two weeks to release :cool:

Have a code for the warthog from halo if anyone wants it, don't play driving games so have no use for it really.

£37 (around E43) for Xbox on Amazon at the moment. You won't get it on release day but a good price. It's out on the Tuesday though so it will probably arrive by the Friday.
