Shift 2 Unleashed "Legends Pack"

[vrooom]

Best easter egg ever!

Creating Shift 2 and the Legends Pack DLC: Brilliant!
Creating the banking at Monza, just for the sake of it without being able to race on it: Slightly Mad indeed!

And that's why I like your games! 👍

Funny how ever since this game has been released, I have yet to touch my copy of GT5.. Seems like it'll be like that for a while once we can get this DLC on PSN!

 

[TheCracker]

Wasn't bothered by Shift 2 before now...

Now i want mucho!

Does the game have a livery editor?

Does the game have a livery editor?

It does. But, aside from the default liveries you can choose from (four to six per car, I think), it's pretty darn useless, aside from putting a few stickers here and there.

 

[TheCracker]

That's good enough for me. Certainly more than GT5 offers.

True. The visual modifications aren't bad, generally speaking. Just don't expect Forza-style stuff

it's not entiirely true.. you can almost copy real life livery with a good effect.

Depends on the livery, I guess. Most of the time, i found it to be really limited. Not being able to infinitely stretch a stripe I want to put on my car, for example. Plus, the controls aren't precise at all. Camera view is pretty bad as well.

yes surely, it's really hard to use and time consuming to get it right.

Yeah. Luckily, though, the premade liveries are pretty good.

Had a fanastic race last night...
Mount Pleasant in etype (stock) in the dark, in one of the career races.

The etypes rear through the down hill section is all over the place, and also saw a few of the AI suffering too - nearly carnage, hard work trying to hold car on the track and get the win for the series , thrilling race.

makes me want to go race the early races again in these cars.

Ian, hope EA/SMS haven't forgotten the PC players for the Legends pack.

 

[paulpg87]

just hope that when we'll be able to download the dlc from the psn.. there won't be problems like missing track and cars.. because this game doesn't follow any logic and evrything can happen.

Are you 11 or do you just hate EA more than you love thinking before posting? Do you have any reason at all to think this? At all? No? Ok then.

 

[RacerPaul]

Whoa, Friday night fight!

 

[strtgng]

WARNING WARNING WARNING - Legends pack on Xbox causes major crashes!

Sorry - I couldn't resist.

 

[paulpg87]

yes:

- i installed the patch and lost force feedback of thw heel, why?
- i uninstalled the patch and lost all the LE content, why?
- i restart the game and i have the cars of LE but only if a ibuy a car of the same manufacture but no more the events that are vanish, why?

.. next step is installing the dlc and losing some stuff, just hoping..

and i'm not the only one with this problems.. if the dlc come with another patch there will be problems again.. who knows?

You any prove there won't be any problem?

 

[Mike0105]

I think the issues with the missing LE content would be solved when the PSN is up so that the game can verify your content etc.

You'll probably have to ask Sony. Never had any issue with the X360 version. Which also looks better on screen and seems to run smoother.

Paul, you didn't uninstall the "patch". You uninstalled THE GAME! When you reinstalled THE GAME, the game searched EA's network and found A PATCH. Then prompted you to install said PATCH.

As for you DLC, whether it is LE, or the other 3 DLC pieces on PSN, it is impossible [for us] to obtain said DLC. I have the LE and the "full unlock all cars & events" DLC pieces.

If I were to delete my game data (not my save) I certainly would not expect any DLC from PSN to reinstall.

Lets play pretend. You went to WalMart today, bought S2U, came home, put the disc in your PS3, the game installed the data on the disc, and finally promted you there is a patch available.

Moral of this lesson: Don't delete your game data or game save when the network is down if you expect to have the DLC.

I've been there too. It's a kick myself in the (_|_) moment.

EDIT: Please forgive me if I came off like a jerk, it was not my intent.

 

[fatkrakr]

No WE didnt delete our game files we deleted our update file.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Whoops sorry guys, OF COURSE it [patching an EA game properly] can't be simple ?

 

[Mike0105]

Could it be that deleting your update file 'resets' the game to v1.00. The game recognises this change and checks the content, but cannot verify the DLC as you are not logged on? This confuses it so it doesn't show. But then the the save game pulls the data up so it temporarily brings the content up.

I still reckon when the PSN is back it should solve this.

I haven't got the LE by the way, so I'm missing out on this regardless.

 

[RomKnight]

I guess no game its easy to patch unless you already know what's wrong with the game before release...

Anyway, we're waiting for the 2nd part of the patch (shouldn't be long I believe) except for those on PC who will get it all in one go, presumably when part 2 comes to console players...

 

[RomKnight]

You'll probably have to ask Sony..

Sony has nothing to do with it. SMS/EA might though...

 

[badeddy]

Getting back on the topic of this thread. The dlc is awesome i just can't get enough of it and i am absolutely in love with the Porsche rsr so much so that I took some photos and wanted to share them.

 

[RacerPaul]

Some great use of filters there 👍

I'm just wondering because the game's running without any problems whatsoever on my Xbox. From what I've seen and heard, it looks better, runs smoother, has fewer bugs and so on.
Now, with the PSN outage and all, I'm not entirely convinced that it's pure coincidence that all the trouble are happening on Sony's console, while the X360 version pretty fine.

No need to turn this into a Console X vs. Console Y flamewar. There are plenty of examples of PS3 games that show that it is more than capable of delivering an excellent gaming experience.

Personally, I have never - on any platform - seen anything more compelling than Uncharted 2 (I'm really looking forward to U3!).

Quality differences between multiplatform games are usually due to porting-priorities. So, if you want to point the finger at someone: point it at EA/SMS. In the end it's all about how to prioritize and distribute your scarce resources over the various development activities.

 

[Spagetti69]

I honestly didn't think Luminis was even trying to start a flame war. He is just trying to help.

I think the tone of your post is more flame bait.
