Xbox game team paid me a visit.

They asked if I would be willing to let them photograph my ACR for a upcoming video game. I said "HELL YEA!"

So they came by and took the pics. It took all of 45min. I get a copy of Halo2 and I forgot the name of the other two games. One of them will be coming out by Christmas. It's a GT3 clone game. The guy I was talking to was a beta tester for it and said it makes GT3 look like Sega GT.

Sounds like it should be killer.

The game that my acr will be in he couldn't tell me the name or anything about it...but said it should be a good game too. Well see. I also get a copy of all the pictures. Should be neat. I can't wait to get my copy of Halo2.

Xbox should have some other cool cars in its new release this Fall, including a tuner Viper upgrade package. We should see it soon.

Yeah and GT3 has only been out for what now? 3...4 years?

XBOX needs to just accept that they will always be #2, especially when compared to the gran turismo series.

GT4 will own all.

You wanna burn me a copy of Halo 2?

yep that's it! I couldn't remember the name! I was wondering what it was. The game my ACR will be in either doesn't have a name or they are not telling it.

Firewater: You have no idea what I've tried.

Tanked · September 22nd, 2004, 10:50 AM

oh...I just looked at the site. I can't wait to hook it up to the 65" widescreen and audio system. I have a sparco raceseat and harness system I made just for games like this.

elcapo · September 22nd, 2004, 03:55 PM

You can't burn XBox games unless the xbox is chipped.

Chipping + playing pirated games = Stealing = taking money from MS employees = bad

I hated the Hell outta GT4 as I kept throwing the ass end of the car all over the track trying to dig outta the corners![img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img] A lotta fun, but hard as Hell! Craig, did you find the Viper to be real world settings or otherwise? I'd think that you have the best of both worlds to provide me with this info.

Cheers,

Jay K.

So, John... What're you saying? Are you saying that XBOX consulted you on adding to the game? If so WAAAAAYYY COOOOLL!

**John Hennessey** · September 23rd, 2004, 02:25 PM

JK - we will see, not sure what they decided to use. Should be out soon.

Chip · September 23rd, 2004, 04:56 PM

How are you playing GT4 already? Beta Test, Jap version? It is suppose to be out in November last time I looked. Can you get me a copy???????

Viper4life · September 23rd, 2004, 06:46 PM

Forza Motorsport - sounding much better than GT4 on paper. Much better.

And then there is GTR heading for Xbox too....

Irid · September 23rd, 2004, 10:38 PM

Two people on this site, both viper owners, work in the XBOX racing division. I think you'll like the viper presence in upcoming MS games.

The VIper in GT3 is much easier to drive than in real life, the stock Viper in GT3 never feels as "on endge" as the car does in real life.
