Whats up with TOCA race driver 3????????

Re: Whats up with TOCA race driver 3????????

Sure would be nice to find a copy of this game anywhere within 200 miles of me.

I'm severely bummed out that the sprinters aren't up to snuff, though.

Terry:

The sprinters are useless on the long track. But they're not bad on the short track, just not up to snuff with Ratbag's games.

At least you're doing some very nice sawing of the wheel on the short track, but the grip model and engine torque don't feel quite right compared to the Ratbag games.

The rest of the game is f*cking awesome, though, especially in the Pro-Sim mode.

Take care,

The EB Games by me (Bolingbrook, IL) still didn't have it in on Sunday. They had the PS2 version but said they had no idea why they didn't get the Xbox version in. Typical Xbox TOCA release problems.

I've sent the frau on a "find it at all costs, run over old ladies and kick small children to find me a copy" mission today.

I better have it by tonight or I might have an aneurism.

I hope she finds it for you. I wish my wife would go to great lengths to get a game for me.

For TOCA 2, she had to make a 200-mile round trip drive for me to have it on release day. This is the first game in memory that I've really wanted that I haven't been able to have on release day and it's driving me positively insane.

I'm in the same family boat as you.

CP Zeppo is having a Poker Night of random races among DSP guys at 9:30 p.m. (EST) tonight. Please join us! I'll send you a Friends invite.

Take care,

Can I possibly get in on this action too ?? Or is this something exclusive (DSP ???) Don't know, just curious................

No, it's not exclusive. The only exclusivity would be not slamming into people and driving like you're on track with the Gran Turismo AI. Remembering your style in NR2003, you won't have much trouble with the gang at DSP.

They're good guys, for sure. Well, except Paul when he gets a bit inebriated, but that's kind of like a running joke

Nope, as long as you race clean, race hard and are cool, you're more than welcome. Toss me your Gamertag.

Plus, with Hoosier in your nickname, you can't be half-bad.

Take care,

Hmmm, "I'll pick this up next time I'm at the mall" is slowly becoming "go to the mall to go pick this up".

How I miss the sweet whispered nothings of PK yelling in your headset at everybody while we played Forza............

Re: Whats up with TOCA race driver 3????????

Anybody try and play this on the 360? I know it is not listed on the compatibility list but just for grins I would like to know if it runs?

Thanks,

PK,

When you've got people racing with you, if someone accidentally bumps another player and it's really not intentional, how do you personal deal with that player in the games you're playing or hosting?

I don't mean to ram people, but i do bump from time to time just beacuse of tight turns and such. I'm not going 85 into a hairpin or such. I'm just saying the usual small bump. I'm not Tony Stewart though.. Im not into road rage. Maybe he's like Bodie Miller and races drunk. =P

Zeke:

Case-by-case basis, really. Justice is based on the theory that accidents happen, but idiocy is planned.

If it's someone we know and they made a mistake with a shove or nudge, that's racing, as they say. If the problem is repeated, we tell the person to cut the sh*t. If the person continues to gain spots through contact, we encourage that person to surrender the spot they gained and return to the running order before the bump, on the honor system.

If we don't know the person and they're making contact due to lack of control, we hope they cool their jets a bit and don't race with guys that have more skill and possibly ruin their race with contact. We're a lot more lenient if they're apologetic and not repeat offenders.

If we don't know the person and they're an obvious Harvey Wallbanger and are driving like an idiot, they get one warning. If it happens again, they get a jackboot to the azz and are tossed from our room for the rest of the night.

Basically, if you're cool, you're going to get a lot more rope from us. If you're a dick, you're gone.

Take care,
PK

Thanks for the Heads up PK.
I'd like to be able to race with you guys online, I just know Im not as good as everyone else and if I make a mistake, it's not because I'm trying too cheat to win.

If I'm ever racing with you guys and there's a questionable person in the room, I'm not worried about ratings or ranking, so I'l help out and I'll go tony stewart on them. =P
