Anyone else who ordered from GAME UK get this email this morning?

Nope, nothing yet. But I pre-ordered in June so maybe I'm safe? It's still showing in my active orders (status unshipped). GAME better not stiff me on this or I will fucking fuck them the fuck up.

Re the |OT|, I'm fine with it as is but if it's got to change, how about:

Forza 4 |OT| A gift, with love from Dan

Not that my opinion matters here at all, but I'd like to say that I too would prefer a title that really praised the game and T10 somehow, instead of mocking their past right when they're delivering such an incredible game.

When I use that method is creates a horrible dead zone in the center. Not a true dead zone but it reduces the input greatly, its not a better alternative.

OK, that definitely helps my understanding. Thanks.

I was staring at the video saladine posted, and just wasn't seeing it. It must be because the guy was ripping through the deadzone. I couldn't pick it up.

Yeah, clearly that's no worthwhile alternative.

This month's copy of the EVO collector's edition 163 dropped through my door this morning, with a very Autovista white warehouse-style photo of the new M5 on the cover. More than coincidence, it appears - there are several Forza 4 promotional features inside, along with a double-page ad (edit: and another single-page ad, too).

Car lovers into gamers..?

What is that "David vs. Goliath" reference?

Who is David and who Goliath in that metaphore?

And yes, OP should be changed. Whay don't opt for real-life game official motto, as for GT5?

Forza 4. Where Dreams are Driven. Clean, simple and non-intrusive in any way.

it bums me out a bit that selected people here were given freebie copies while I have to go pay for my copy next friday (uk release date sucks) it's a really annoying turn off along with the over priced and limited to game/gamestation LE at full RRP.

It's a dick thing to do.

I know that feel, bro. I know that feel.

Especially as some who have it have made minimal contributions in the past. I guess there is a secret club somewhere.

Ha Haaaa..! Fuck, that is cool. Minority Report cool.

Shyeah. Though it's a bit generic, though... as in, they could've integrated it with the picture in the ad better than just having an overlay of the video (and the ignition button).

So, no QR code in the ad in your mag?

Mmm... nah, I prefer mine. There's a reference to Clarkson *and* IBL.



On another note, is the leaked trailer in the OP? It should be... even if it's just mentioned as the very first bit of media we ever saw on the game. At least, first decent bit (last year's trailer was a bit shit, to be honest).
Here it is again, just to see how far we've come since April.

Just received some impressions from a mate in W.A.

He is a sound nut like myself so he gave some details. Basically, he is BLOWN away by the sounds in the game. Apparently, not only does every exhaust 'stage' give off a different sound, but adding intake also changes the notes. Flames get bigger after each upgrade level,backfires, pops and clicks also change depending on upgrades.
Turbo spool, BOV/WGC are also different at each level. He noticed a completely different loop between a 'stage 3' Skyline turbo upgrade and 'stage 3' BMW 2002 turbo upgrade. The BMW had a slight flutter and wasn't very loud while the Skyline was very noticeable.
He has recognized about 5 different BOV samples so far. Each car is different which reminds me of PGR's system.
Adding 'stage 3' transmission yields straight cut gear whine that changes pitch at each gear which didn't really happen with FM3.
Ultimately though, he said that adding all those things together on a FORD KA no less, resulted in an absolute monster sound wise and has fallen in love with it!

Secondly, he mentions that in hood view, while racing at Hockenheim during the early morning,the reflections of the surroundings bounce off the hood so vividly that he hasn't seen anything like it. He really is banging on about the visuals.

He has hyped me even more now after the sound reveal as he knows that's one aspect I truly admire. I know that reviewers don't usually go into depth on these things but it's nice to finally hear the details. Me very happy boy!

Did he mention any sub movement?

I didn't feel there was much oomph coming from my sub in the demo and I think someone else mentioned the same in the demo thread.

He didn't mention it but I remember someone else saying that the settings can be adjusted in the final game..
