Where do you work @_@ ?

[Big Takeover]

I'm guessing eggplant wasn't a factory option on the 300sl ;-)

 

[-MikePriester-]

Don't mind at all, nice shots.

 

[guest1321]

Goddam that SLS is beautiful!

 

[Arucardo]

oh it does swing.

you guys really need to try older cars and muscle cars on a fanatec. They drive *nothing* like fm3.

Also...anyone with a wheel able to drive the Koeniggssseegggn CCGT around, say, indianapolis ? one clean lap ? i don't believe you.
That thing will kill you on the nearest wall.

Without traction control, I believe you that car is the worst in Forza 3, just can't drive it without TC. It was doable with a gamepad though.

Also, your point about muscle cars is spot on, the one in the demo feels very different to F3. Sliding the muscle car just feels so right in the demo.

 

[statham]

Hope you guys don't mind but today we had a car show at work and wanted to share since we are car lovers. Some dealers brought cars too.

headlights looks off, can't place my finger on it...hmm.....livery?>


edit: sorry, thought it was the forza vs GT thread. my bad.

 

[SarBear]

Is that a Super Snake?!


My GOD. Would play "Saw" with one of your lives for one of those!

 

[statham]

I will own a VW bus one day, I will restore it and sell it in 20 years for $200,000

 

[-MikePriester-]

So I can go pick up the game today, but A. as of right now I'm 100 miles away from the store that has it and B. I need to go bang my girlfriend really hard.

Looks like I'll have to wait til tomorrow.

Do the Mrs and then take her to the store with you, what's wrong with you?

 

[Cousteau]

Shouldn't be that difficult.
1 hand on the steering wheel.
1 hand taking care of business.
I'm assuming he has 2 hands of course.

 

[AMUSIX]

OK, I think I underestimated a bit...I only have 5 LE's left. Totally anecdotal, but I'd say the buzz and desire for F4 is more than what it was for F3...which I see as a good thing.

I fucking love this game.

When I race I fucking love it, when I take a photo I love it, I haven't tuned yet nor really gone deep in the livery editor since I'm no artist, the menu music is so soothing. God dammit I need more time per day to do more lol... Can't imagine when everyone is fucking in here playing with us.

 

[Iknos]

You'll want to tune your suspension to optimal settings. Hard or soft it really comes down to preference.

Sounds like he's driving on a highway if there are rumble strips at the edge of the road go with hard.

 

[Diablohead]

I traded in some old games today towards buying forza 4, regular edition of course.

 

[squared]

Hey Slayer, is there any way to paint the wheels *actual* white? I heard (from someone I actually trust) that there's no special option for "flat white" or anything like that, and that just choosing gloss white is "forza grey", like always? :///

Nope, there must be some cars that do come with a matte white finish on the stock ones though, I'll look into it.

I wonder if they can patch it in if they have them in game already.

Me too. Tuesday at this point may as well be a month away.

I need this shit in my veins, stat.

Awesome shots, by the way. You're really getting those settings dialed in nicely.

 

[krpiper]

So I have spent some time with the speed wheel in the demo, and I am pleasantly surprised. It works really well I can tell that it is just twitchy at first (the newness feeling) but I am getting used to it and I can already tell that my times will be faster..eventually

work at Cisco Systems...

my car is the M3, would trade it in for SLS any day haha

 

[RS4-]

Lol I think I'll buy the game for the livery editor.

 

[Diablohead]

Lol I think I'll buy the game for the livery editor.

just buy forza 3 for £5 in that case, liveries carry over.

 

[Aspiring]

You're not saying anything that wasn't being said almost exactly two years ago.

Yeah I know but really why not? Does the game have endurance races like GT5? I mean imagine doing the full 161 laps, variable weather, compulsary pitstops! It would be amazing.

 

[Shaneus]

Holy shit, you can adjust your tyre pressures? WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS BEFORE?!?

 

[sneaky77]

That's been there since the first one hasnt it?

Lol yeah? So the editor in 4 is exactly like 3? I had a good time with 3, even when I didn't plan things through, I'll post an image of it later.

dunno not played it, but you can carry across separate decals you have saved, entire car liveries do not carry over but that's too bigger deal if most of the car logos were from decals and vinyls.

 

[benzy]

I fucking love this game.

Is that a new body kit for the 350z?

Any pics of these aero options?

There have also been changes in the “Aero and Appearance” section of the Upgrade Shop. Most cars with distinct, standalone front and rear bumpers now offer an option to remove the bumpers. For a more period-correct look, specific models receive vintage motorsport-inspired front and rear aerodynamics, and add paintable headlight covers for a race-ready look. Some muscle cars now offer aftermarket drag racing style hood options in both Pro Stock and classic cowl-induction configurations. You’ll also have the ability remove the factory rear wing or spoiler from some cars, and for the ultimate upgrade, some cars allow you to purchase OEM appearance packages available only from the factory, completely transforming the look of your car. While not every car has each of these options, the new options and features are going to open up a new world of customization options for racers, painters, and photographers to experiment with.

I think that's a new wing for the 350, I removed the bumpers on the 432z, I can do other stuff to it if I change to a FM body kit too (432)

You guys are going to love the career mode a shit ton more. It's much much better. The fact that you get about 3 event (so far) options makes it so much better.

 

[DRE Fei]

Just imported my forza 3 file and got the unicorn achievement. I don't even remember having anything rare, but whatever. Game looks sweet!

i know there is more variety in fm4's career - but you got 3 options in fm3

 

[dejay]

Ironically I was forced to stop running cables through my roof in anticipation of FM4 because of rain. It was a very nice skybox, and then the rain effects were amazing.

My game was supposed to ship yesterday (Friday here) but I got no confirmation. I've bugged them with an email.

 

[Shaneus]

lol

Wait... it's been in it since the first one, hasn't it? I just read it in a review and figured it was new, but it was by a guy who'd never played a game in the Forza series.

Whoops.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Rivals mode is going to be awesome especially since it will constantly be refreshed.

 

[Kordos]

So where do I go to bitch about the demo - here, or the Forza 4 Review Thread?

I thought I was playing Project Gotham. They even had what looked like little "Kudos" indicators for passing and turning.

What the hell happened? I felt like I was degrading my Fanatec playing that thing.

 

[Slayer-33]

But you ... Wait let me get something

I understand.

 

[ruxtpin]

Alright. So I just got an email from BestBuy saying that they couldn't fulfill my CE Forza 4 pre-order. They offered me a $20 dollar gift-card AND a 1600 MSPoints card - IF I pre-order the regular edition. Should I just go with regular? I really wanted to CE but I can't seem to find it anywhere else online for pre-order.

That is awesome! I'm jealous of that offer. I'd go with it. I definitely would.
