Forza Motorsport 4 - The Floodgates Have Opened...

Agree, the 458GT has to be in the game. Since the Porsches are gone that is one of the cars I look forward to the most. Although I prefer the Risi one :)

Any 458GT is OK with me (I was hoping to paint the Patron one)

Ferrari 458GT or FAIL!

Raudi, you've already seen the ALMS car related news. 2001-2009 cars and liveries for the most part. The Muscle Milk Aston is new, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see the 458GT right away and not DLC. I sure hope we see it soon. And some 2010 or 2011 liveries.

-We are expecting twins

Oh, great. Station wagons ! Yay, I've always wanted those..
:-|

-The torch is smoking

Smoking, so it's not lit...Night racing with no headlights ! Just a black screen !
Oh, Dan you so crazy !

-Panhard 1-2

Manufacturer of military vehicles. Tanks are in !

Definitive racing game indeed !



Sigh..Saladine started talking in riddles too, we've lost him.

I think they announced that you don't have to buy cars in packs anymore and you can buy them individually.

That's pretty awesome if true. I'd rather buy the pass and get all of it with a discount. I wonder what individual prices for cars will be.

I got F3 at launch and I don't think I bought any of the DLC because I was absolutely credit starved the entire game. Now with the UE I have been playing I'm weary to spend anything!

I'm glad they solved the credit issue. If you sucked at painting and wanted to keep the cars you got, you basically were broke the whole time.

I'm hoping the Livery Editor is easier to work with this time around.
 
The 458 GT is a must, and if the '62 250 GTO, 512S, and P4/5 by Pininfarina are all in as well, then my desire for Ferraris will be satisfied.

And, of course, moar Paganis plz. It's gonna be a bit of a grind maxing out the manufacturer affinity with just the Cinque and R,
at least until the Huayra is released as DLC

Poor guy, the information drought must have gotten to him.

I wonder, who among us will be the last to crack?

It says right on the Forza website that you can DL cars individually, so there's your proof. Can't wait, although I will buy all the cars. A season pass would make it convenient.

Could today be "Ferrari GTO Day?" Joining the already revealed 599 GTO.
Returning champs: 288, '64 250
New to FM4: '62 250

That'd be awesome.

SuperGT news will be at TGS so if the HSV is in the game (it better be), this will be the place to watch for it.

Edit : fffffuuuu DasRaven, I thought it was real before your stealth edit. :(

Decrypted.

twins

i get it, now.
People will make perfect replicas of Bathurst or any other existing track, through the flexible, versatile, almighty, track creator.
Yes. Has to be it.

Torch smoking...but Badned said less smoking is better.

So the torch is lit. Night racing is in !

Panhard 1-2

Lord pie is right, Panhard finished first and second in the Paris Bordeaux rally.
Rally is in.


Also, i believe every LCE will come with a real Mercedes SLS. Metallic Red.
I'm just expecting Badned to come here and confirm this.

Sorry, just putting out my wishes in hopes that the Forza Gods will hear and answer them.
Would be quite the coup to announce the '62 GTO to counter EA's nonsense.

haha that's funny! Looking forward to the 512TR. I don't recall ever having driven than in a game.

512TR was definitely my favorite car from the original NFS on the 3DO.

strange.

I was expecting to receive a pm telling me "ok, you're right about everything, but please don't tell anyone and don't spoil the surprise for the others" anytime now, but nothing yet.

*hits refresh*

But hey, if you guys see me suddenly go silent or start talking in riddles, yeah, you know why.

Fool me thrice...

Largely agree with this post but GT5 sells to casuals like crazy because of the graphics. For every person above level 20 in A Spec I have 10 friends below level 10. There are people who only buy one racing game a generation and that is Gran Turismo. And there are millions of them.

Forza hasn't become that sort of game for casuals. With the better graphics in 4 it might just be.

Autovista has those great graphics and it has TG plastered all over it and it might work.

The FM4 demo needs to include a couple of Autovista demos and some racing. Should have one rivals mode competition in there.

Awesome! Honestly, if they fixed the credit drought of '09 I'll gladly buy the whole packs. I understand collecting and such and making it somewhat difficult but that was REALLY difficult. Hell, I was even pissed in GT5 with how difficult it is to get credits.

I personally think the cars shouldn't be something you have to grind hours for, but should be explored and given freely. Not all of course, need to have something to work for, but I couldn't afford a vast majority of the cars I wanted and I was lvl 41.

Need more Arnold. Former Governer of California.

Ferrari California to be announced at TGS. "An old favorite has returned".

speaking of which..who thought the Ferrari California deserved to be autovista ??
i think it was a misunderstanding when T10 outsourced the models.

Oh, i would have loved to be there when Dan received the model.

"...oh, yes, here it is...Ferrari California...let's see....wait, what the....oh shit. I meant the OTHER Ferrari California !!!!1"

Total Recall GIF

Total recall...clones ?

mm...ook here's how the track editor works.

You show pictures of a track to kinect, and it will build the track for you in the game.

Or draw the track on paper and show it to kinect (seriously though, this would be a good idea and would even work for simple games. You heard Microsoft Game Studios ? yeah, go on and make money with MY idea now, go)

Also cars. Kinect will do a 3d scan of anything you throw at it. Want a car that's not in fm4 ? buy a model of that car and let kinect scan it. Voilà ! Just don't complain when you're overtaken by a penismobile.

Ok guys, i think i've completely lost it. I'm going to sleep, i can't take this anymore : \

Its a fantastic-looking car(looks so much better in-person) that had a lot of important first's for Ferrari.

It may not be as hardcore as a 458 or as fast as a 599, but I think its the best GT car available. I'm very happy to see it in Autovista.

As for the notion about thinking a true sim crowd is the right market for sales, Race Pro says 'hi'..


I liked Race Pro, but I wouldn't consider it in the same league as Forza (even as a pure sim racer on console).

i'm sure they had their reasons, but i would have preferred the original 1958 (?) Ferrari California

Or if you accidentally meant to go to the Reventon Autovista and went to Penismobile's instead.

If the shaders are like anything on that Warthog it'll look like a dildo anyways.

It would be nice to see previews of the tracks we already know about with their new lighting. Camino Viejo would be interesting to see with better trees and lighting.

Again...another batch of Ferraris lol

#ForzaGarage Round 2: Welcome the 1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4, 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello, and 2006 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano to Forza 4! #Forza

Not complaining but I still find it funny...really looks like a message towards EA following last week story.

This car doesn't get enough love. Fucking awesome to drive in PGR2.

Also, did someone say wagons?

I'm not the only one who likes the way the Magnum looks, right? Right? *hides*
 
Turn 10 had small set up this year for Forza 4. I was really disappointed at the lack of racing pod, I am thinking because it's so close to GameCon. Anyway, line was usually very short for Forza 4 demo (just go to show how little majority of gaming public care for racing game especially simmy one).

The tire physic is definitely improve and even on a pad, it felt very good. Cockpit view is much improve and more "dynamic". They switch couple of button assignment as mention before (view is now back button and I think Y is rewind). Beside the physic, the car models are definitely improve and cars look better on track than F3. The frame rate is smooth and solid, especially after playing that other racer at EA booth. It's suck that we will only experience Porsche in shitty game like The Run with car that bounce off one another and graphic that looks like something from beginning of this gen. (Jagged fest and framrate that dip before 30 constantly. car hood looked like they were built using Minecraft engine).

That said, instead of hidden in the booth, EA did put The Run out front and center and attract more people than Forza 4. The line still short to try it at PAX, racing game is definitely not on top of anyone agenda, so this little spat between MS and EA is just going to hurt the genre even more.

After the April breach was plugged, the dam wall at Lake Forza is now straining under the pressure of all that liquid information. Valve-operator Dan needs to turn that wheel and flood GAF Valley with his sweet sweet juices.

Saladine and Badned have been hinting at a couple rather big surprises left, i just hope i'm not reading too much into those hints. Where's TofuR when you need him : |


Well, even if Fm4 turns out to be a disappointment as a racing game/sim it certainly has been the best puzzle game of the year so far.
