the dof effect is incredible in this part

replay's camera effects looks really improved. Dof, motion blur.. even "shutter speed" like effects

I wouldnt count on those angles and effects being taken from actual in-game replays. turn 10 has loads more tools at their disposal to make kick ass trailers that we likely wont see in the retail version.

The new DOF effect can be seen in Autovista footage, I don't see why it wouldn't be there during replays. Beside, the video was all in-game (replay) and from the Bernese Alps track replays we saw at E3 it seems that they've massively stepped up their replays so why not ?

i'm just saying that because its all in game footage does not mean its taken from replays.

as far as effects go, they can be costly. seeing something in autovista does not mean the same effect, or effect quality, will be seen during a real replay.

look at the "gameplay" footage from the e3 trailer - or even from the f3 trailers. its fancy and cut specifically for a trailer. i would expect the vast majority of footage shown here, and any other PR released footage of announcements or trailers, to be the same. maybe i'm wrong.

At first I was disappointed that they won't implement night or weather conditions but after giving it some thought and after seeing this trailer, I must say I'm happy with the priorities Turn10 has set for Forza 4. We are going to get a game that fixes and probably maxes out everything that still could be improved compared to the previous iteration. I prefer an overall upgrade across the "audio-visual board" rather than sacrifice the improved lighting, new cockpit shaders or framerate for the sake of one new feature. Seeing how this game is shaping up I can easily wait for a proper night driving simulation till next gen.

it also looks like they are using high poly models in replay now

you're late, we've noticed that already :p
Actually ingame too, but ONLY for events with a single car (yours :p) on the track.

Even in this video, you can see parts of replay with more than one car onscreen use the same low-lod as fm3


edit: this can be verified with ISR top gear bowling videos or even Nurburgring gp chase cam gameplay and replay vids. Oh, but they can still scrap that from the final game.

so on a full race, your car will always be high LOD but the other 15 will be forza 2 LOD? i'm happy with that

no, i think on a full race all cars will be fm3 lod.
In single player events (bowling, drifting, time trial, no idea what else) you're getting the LOD.

As you can see from the vid though, when you nail lighting and shaders it doesn't really make a huge difference in motion, until you put your nose up against the car.

Sadly not.

They just realised they had not put in enough fields previously.

Badned,

Will we get an explanation as to why the most desired track in all polls didn't make the cut? Why was time spent on Hockenheim Ring and the Alps instead of Spa?

You can honestly say Australia is far and the logistics don't work out for just one track but Belgium is hardly the long journey from Germany.

I'm not trying to start a debate/troll/rage just want a simple explanation.

Thanks.

Sadly not Day One DLC? As is, definitely DLC, but just not on day one?

One day, not day one?

Yes?

YES?

Maybe not DLC as 'included with the game' dayone. :p

Badned, you should crush these rumors. Really, if they're not in the game you should just tell us. Less disappointment later.

Just saw the video.

See... This is the reason why I don't let random "removal" or lack of wanted tracks not let it get me down. The racing is going to be AWESOME man! The cars look heavy as fuck and look incredible, same goes for the track :) and jeez at that sound /gasm...

So god damned hyped! Weeeeee!

People, an Australian track will be featured in the game. I can guarantee it. I can vouch for it.
As for Spa..I don't really know.

A rough explanation of BADNED's post:

Sadly no
t= No, it wont be in day 1 for Turn 10 knows that those tracks are the biggest,most requested tracks since FM1 so the obvious route will be to charge for them via DLC knowing full well that they will absolutely kill it in terms of exposure and the almighty moola..!

They just realised they had not put in enough fields previously.
=Answering the other question, they thought that they had all the planned 'track icons' in the tracks page listed but found out they didn't so they edited another space in..


Edit: Sorry, that's meant to be manufacturer icons not track icons..

Quoting to avoid editing!

So, this Aussie track: Bathurst or Melbourne GP?

And how can you guarantee it, and vouch for it so confidently?

...with a demo to come soon!


Honestly, do NOT want demo!

We all know it'll be a stripped old build :p (prove me wrong T10) lol!


It would probably be the E3 build if I had to bet on it, if so I would wait for a devirginizing by the actual game.

Infineon is also one of several tracks in-game to benefit from the new alternate time of day feature, with early morning “Sunrise” lighting engine variations available on each ribbon.

so is it 'several' or 'small amount of tracks' ?

Also, sorry but i don't think the GT40 sound at the very very very end of the video (the last second when the logo fades in) is from the game, and i have doubts about tire squeals. Everything sounds amazing anyway.

Forza fans are the most demanding, most critical fans. :lol Of course, I think Turn10's antics kind of ask for it

Boom, Surfer's Paradise. book it. replacing NY as the sole street circuit.
That would be nice and justify NY being cut. FM3's New York always reminded me a bit of Surfer's Paradise.

Sadly, I dont think Turn 10 have anything left to tell us. I'd love to be proven wrong, but their PR is so off-the-wall bad that I wouldn't be surprised if we've already heard pretty much all there is to know at this point.

If Surfer's is in, we need open wheels too. Something like F3 would be fun, I love the chaos in the first part of the track like you can experience in DTM3.

That GT 40 sounds ridiculous, listen to it at the start and end of the trailer.

The motherfuck is growling like a boss.
