People living and dying on the most insignificant things......
Yep it's a Forza thread.
Yep it's a Forza thread.
About as shocking as finding out that the woeful excuse for a trailer was actually legit. I refused to believe that it was done by anyone other than some fanboy with Windows Movie Maker.
What I meant was, can it be played properly with a wheel. I'm sure the option will be available in the menus, but is gameplay more "twitchy" and suited to a gamepad like in Ridge Racer and Most Wanted.
To be honest, I can't really get into arcade games using a wheel.
And by the way, if it's got a Pro Street vibe to it then i'll be happy......there..
Nah probably more a TDU meets Dirt kind of stuff.

You know that the Cup's are Porsche Motorsport's main pillar?

Yeah, but they also have an amazing history of road cars as well.

Yes, but we have now a different situation then what was planned once. Porsche was not in from the beginning so what was planned back then to be added is now not possible. Now they have to bring back the Porsche basis and just add a small portion of the new staff and at the same time work for the future so it gets the right amount of new models treatment.

Interesting! I figured they would've had all the models worked and done, and then when the licensing deal fell through, they just cut them out. So when it came time to add them back in, it was just a matter of picking which of the 30 they wanted.

Now that we can paint the race cars, cup cars don't bother me as much. They are fun to paint like street cars and drive around acting like you have a sleeper.
Hmm, I think I need to get out more...

The whole time you were on the show.....you just had this snide look on your face. Was really waiting for you to hit Ken with, "Cool story, bro!"

LOL, did they keep in the parts where I mocked him for having ZERO dollars the whole game? And did you DVR it? I have yet to see it and I have no way to watch it.
Luckily someone put the final M3 pass on YouTube:
PASS TIME BMW M3 Turbo Euro S50 900HP
Check me out in all my short glory!!!
Yea, they kept those parts in where you mentioned his poorness. I didn't DVR it, but comcast replays Pass Time so much that I'm sure I can catch it. The only problem is in the description they don't put which cars are being tested, so it's a shot in the dark.
Yea, see, you definitely came when they allowed you to ask a question about the BMW. It's ok, I came at the same time, bro. I feel you. lol

You forgot a very important Porsche model!

If the final list actually looked like that, I would be incredibly happy. The 918 is the most significant Porsche since the Carrera GT and the 917 is legendary.
Though I am pretty sure the 917 won't make it in. We still have no '62 GTO, the most famous and valuable car on the planet.

935/78?

Strange list so far. The Porsche's I see driving around on the street and the Porsche's being released in this pack do not match up well at all. That is a disappointment.

Perhaps, we'll see what T10 come through with. I prefer to keep expectations low.
And with the achievements seemingly confirming that the '12 GT2 RS as new and Penske RS as returning, I'm not sure that the Strassenversion has a shot now.
BTW: Here's the achievement list:
Pieces Of Flare (35) Win online at the Nürburgring Nordschleife Full track in the 2012 Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
ALMS Dominator (25) Win online in the 2011 Porsche #45 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR (997).
Throwback (25) Complete 5 online circuit races in the 2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic.
Backseat Driver (20) Complete 3 online circuit races in the 2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo.
Special Delivery (25) Earn 30,000CR in the 2008 Porsche #7 Penske Racing RS Spyder Evo.
Track Day Play Toy (20) Complete 3 online circuit races in the 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997).
All Spooled Up (25) Earn 30,000CR in the 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo (997).
Germany’s Supercar (25) Win online in the 2003 Porsche Carrera GT.
Whale Tail (25) Complete 5 online circuit races in the 1982 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3.
Rennsport Originator (25) Win online in the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS.

I am almost positive Moby Dick has been confirmed by all the hinting and BANED's signature.
Seems like Turn 10 are keen to force cheevo hunters online.

Yeah, no doubt. Like Dan said, Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini are the "halo" marks of cars. A game needs to have them to really stand out.
I'm still quite happy with the pack--we finally got Porsche back, making FM4 the most complete auto game ever released. I just think it's silly to have repeat models taking up spots for other cars.

Thanks for answering.
The more I'm looking at this screen the more I think that you might be right.
Foliage and reflections are similar to Forza.
The car model looks like it's from fm4 but the models are probably going to be taken from fm4 regardless of the engine they are using.
I don't think that they are going to reuse Forza 4 backdrops though.It's probably just a setting similar to sedona.
I'm curious how hard it was to make open world game on that engine.
I hope that it is possible to earn this achievements in private lobby with AI cars.

If you mean standard Carrera's, well they don't have a place in FM land.
You sure?

Oh come on man! Don't do this to me!!!! LOL, there were so many hints, I felt SURE we were getting it!
Turn 10 almost never do duplicates anymore and add only the fastest versions of the cars (M for BMW, S or RS for Audi, AMG for Mercedes, Spec-V for Skyline, etc...).
Yeah, because I'm sure you're disappointed that we have the 250 GTO, 250 California, FXX, 599XX, F40C, etc... because you don't see them on roads either.
Porsche has an insane motorsport heritage (which we only see the tip with the selection we'll get) so it's only natural that race cars take a good chunk of the roster IMO.
And personally, with the limitations we have (30 cars), I'd rather drive an exceptional version (GT3, GT3 RS, GT2 RS) than a version I can commonly see on roads (yeah face it Porsche fans, your cars are common).

I've seen a GT2 RS on the road a few times, but only one 991 so far.
Even though the price is the same as it always was, it now seems a lot more expensive since the phantom discounts.
Ah, the psychology of sales. How you fuck with our tiny minds.

Interesting that they'd update certain cars to 2012 models (Cayman S -> R, Cayenne to 2012 version), but they kept this one the same. The 997.2 version was the rage when it came out a few years ago.

F40, FXX, etc are iconic cars from the brand, tho rare. Cars from the brand that people actually drive should be represented well in the game because they are also iconic, but in a different way.
Why else do you think people are complaining about all the race car variants?

Somehow funny and amusing that everyone expected the 917 or 918 in the beginning and now no one expects the GT1 Evo.
