Personally really like the game. The graphics could be better but gameplay wise it has been good. If you like GTA, you should like this game too.

It's well worth the $9.99 imo. The car is awesome. Handling is great and it will go well over 200. Set as an A class and tuned properly it is hard to beat.

Well external storage is now supported, drive must be 256Gb or larger and usb 3. They also brought games with gold and auto sign in for one profile on your console with the update.

Here's a link with changes

FYI I'm part of the system update beta test group and I can invite people to the program. If you want in just PM me your GT and the email attached to your GT.

I'm having a lot of issues trying to get the C7 dialed in. The balance feels great when it's completely stock, but after making it an A class 700 it just feels too twitch and oversteers too much coming out of the turn.

Interesting, another feature of the update is gaining another 10% GPU power without Kinect

Its not gained. Just gives devs more to work with. The headlines on this are misleading. People with XB1's are going to go around unplugging their Kinnects now thinking their machine will be faster when it wont.

According to a few articles I read, a portion of the GPU is placed in a reserve for Kinect use. Now that Microsoft is selling the XB1 without the Kinect as an option they removed the reserve giving the devs a little more wiggle room.

I am not sure if that reserve is removed once the Kinect is unplugged or if the update removed the reserve. My previous post was poorly worded.

No I wasn't faulting your post. I was pointing to all of the gaming sites using the headline as it's kind of falsely stated. One if the xbox devs had said it really only applies to future developments but won't give your machine 10% more power on existing stuff just by unplugging it.

If the game uses Kinect there won't be a boost if it doesn't there will be a boost.

No one wants update beta access?

I generally like being in beta groups but last time I did one for Xbox it made my Xbox unplayable for over a week till I was able to get the patch. Ever since then, I have been very cautious of being in Xbox beta groups
