XBoxers - fancy a game of PGR2 tonight on XBConnect?
 
I'll be hosting a game later - Scoobs around the Nurburgring ;)

Say 9pm (after Battlestar Galactica)?

Any takers?

druddle 02 November 2004 02:09 PM

Dream Weaver 02 November 2004 03:07 PM

I'm on live only, dont do the chipped thing.

Mogsi 02 November 2004 04:15 PM

I'm on live with a chipped Xbox, just hit the switch and turn the chip off.... ;)

Although XBConnect is free so I can see the advantage with that....

Dream weaver/Mogsi

if I'm not on your friends list allready add RB5black :D still a couple of us playing from the scoobynet list. Mainly me ,Twigster and a few others. All very fast at PGR2 (172 Paltinum with no cheating :D)

Dream Weaver 02 November 2004 10:04 PM

Twigster is on my list, will add you. Tbh, I dont go on live much - did do with Toca for a while, but havent been on with anything else yet.

Lets get a PGR2 event going one night?

RB5-Black 02 November 2004 11:54 PM

I was the same ... I didn't play live much for a while because all the games you went into were full of yanks bashing there way through everyone.

I find it a lot better with a group that play fair and are fast.

PGR2 night would be good. Maybee a week or so after the Halo2 launch just so I can complete it before moving on :D

Mogsi 03 November 2004 09:32 AM

I'm fairly sure you are on my list... My gamertag is: M09

TBH I have not been on PGR2 for months now, what with Fable, KOTOR, THUG2 and now GTA:SA using up my spare evenings.. and now we have Halo2 just around the corner...

Dream Weaver 03 November 2004 11:27 AM

Not to mention NFSU2 etc :rolleyes:

I still have loads of games that I have barely played yet - nowehere near finishing them anyway - Ninja Gaiden, RBR, MOH Rising Sun, Burnout 3, Splinter Cell 2 and so on.

I usually like to finish a new game before buying a new one, but all the above were cheap specials so I bought them all - now need to finish them off, but GTA:SA will put paid to that. :D ;)

Twigster 03 November 2004 01:22 PM

I'm up for a SN challenge one night. I'm usually on PGR, TOCA or Rainbow6 Black arrow.

I'm also on tonight if anyone fancies a race, although I'm not as quick as I was!! Out of practice!! :D

TheSquirrel 03 November 2004 01:54 PM

Maybe then i will have a chance

Need to prise my claws off GTA-SA for an evening

Dont suppose you know when GTR is out for X-Box

Grant

ScoobyDoo555 03 November 2004 02:22 PM

Sorry - forgot about this post!! :D Well, I DID write it on Monday ;)

Don't use Live (chipped box).....

I guess it's no takers then.......... no probs :)

Dan

Kosy 03 November 2004 04:30 PM

Just out of interest what are your best times round the 'ring?

Ive got 6 mins 26 in the GT1 (dont have speed 12 unlocked)
Is that quick?
What times can the Speed 12 do?

Scooby-Doo 03 November 2004 04:40 PM

So how about a game of Toca2 tonight....have seen much of Black and Twigster lately althought just thinking about it I can already hear Twig moaning with one excuse after another :)

You cheeky bitch!! :D As if you ever get close enough to hear me moaning!! :D

I can run a 6 minute 15 round the ring in a GT1, and 6:05 in a TVR! Best time I know of is a 5:57 or something like that, set in a speed 12. That involves corner cutting and shift-glitches though so it's not truly reflective. (Shift glitch is hitting handbrake as you change up, keeps the revs slightly higher between gears so makes each change worth a tenth of a second or so).

I'll be on tonight although I am more rusty on TOCA than I am on PGR, so that is bad!!

Squizz mate, not sure on GTR yet mate, although I expect it to be out fairly soon (here's hoping!!)

RB5-Black 03 November 2004 06:31 PM

I get back home from Offshore on the 11th. I don't think anyone in the world will be playing PGR2 tht day.


yup M09 is on my list :D

Twigster 04 November 2004 01:11 PM

lol. You might be right there mate!!!

Got me butt kicked by ScoobyDoo last night on TOCA, but I blame the crappy cars he was driving!! :D :D

I think it's definitely worth setting a game up on either PGR or TOCA, owuld be nice to see some of the old names having a go again, even the squirrel seems to have gone all quiet of late!!


So who's up for it then, and when??

Scooby-Doo 04 November 2004 02:03 PM

Prefer TOCA nowdays than PGR, a good 6-8 player session would be good. Still like the 10-15 lap seat races with pitstops :)

Congratulations Twig on the news.

Will be on again tonight if you want a sound arse kicking again.

JackClark 04 November 2004 02:38 PM

I'd be up for a race. Not played for a while so it may take me a few laps to kick your arses into touch.

RB5-Black 04 November 2004 06:34 PM

I'll be there :)

if I'm home.

I'm good at corners :D ( had to edit to get it though)

Twigster Home 04 November 2004 07:34 PM

How about next Monday night at 9pm then? Misses battlestar so no excuses for not making it!!
I would say do TOCA and PGR, a 50lap race at Bathurst in V8's on TOCA with 2 mandatory stops, followed by some races on PGR! :D

Post here if you have any other ideas/preferences! :D

RB5-Black 04 November 2004 07:57 PM

still at work Monday but I'll catch the next one

Craig.

Markus 04 November 2004 09:38 PM

Just been looking into this XBConnect thing. I don't have net access at home yet, nor do I have a PC, plus I'm a Mac man. Looks like Aquaduct2 will do the job though, so, if/when I get connected, I think I might indulge in a bit of this.

Quick Q, as I'm going to be NTSC, can I still play against PAL users?

Yes, can't see that being a problem....
