So... sorry if this is old debate, but, have extra tracks been sacrificed for fluff Kinect features?

according to this http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Infineon_Raceway#Typical_Lap_Times
Audi R8 1:21.761
Porsche 911 GT3 RSR 1:34.263
i dont see a mx5 comparing with these in the real world...
so yeah, i'd say tanner should have been quicker with the LFA

the MS wheel really isnt that bad if its all you can afford. i'm perfectly happy with it till it craps out on me. its certainly far better then a pad and if you look around long enough hopefully you can find one fairly cheap (though they are rare)
Chriswok said:
I highly doubt that. It's probably just a new APIs that control everything, like the headtracking and Autovista modes. Things you can already do with a controller. Unless the team that does tracks was pulled off to do Kinect features, which wouldn't make sense.

In his defense he did say he didn't have a lot of experience on the track and it would be safe to assume that those laps were set by drivers who had countless hours behind the wheel of those cars.op_ivy said:

Hmm, ok, somewhat less annoyed to know someone doesn't think what I thought. Still, makes me wonder why less tracks. Suppose it won't matter too much if the driving is lovely. Still not as excited as I was for Forza 3, still feels like its going to be Forza 3.2

They were running the Indy car layout with the chicane (9a on the map). That adds a few more seconds to the lap time.op_ivy said:
Edit: but take away some time for the shortened turn 11 (11a).

Even so, 1:44 and change for an LFA on street tires after three hot laps isn't lacking by any stretch. Going be those Trackpedia times, it's right around where it should be in my armchair analyst opinion.
If anything, it was Rutledge's 1:52 with all assists on that was disappointingly slow. Properly sorting this out will require giving us access to the Infineon demo build the guys were playing. What say you, Turn 10?

Do want a demo date. With scoreboards.
(to get warmed up for the full game release)
I wonder if steering assist will be shown on the in-game leaderboards, clutch wasn't in FM3 (except on the FM site boards if I remember correctly).

and in HIS defense videogame racers are pretty tough to pick up and play if you dont have a lot of experience. without real world cues, even people who have been driving there entire life absolutely suck ass driving in a game.

No. And even if so it would be the die hard anti-Kinects that would try and correlate that because this would never be officially stated.
I liked that segment though. You can tell his Rally racing comes through but he seems to handle himself really well on that racing course.
I'm still thinking of picking up a Kinect for the headtracking stuff, looks awesome. I figure if I'm throwing money down for all the Fanatec stuff (wheel, stand, pedals) might as well throw another $100 (craigslist) in there for some headtracking.
Did anybody here that has played it at the game shows use it with the headtracking? I saw some videos and it looked absolutely awesome but I'd like some first hand reports.

I'd never expect any developer to openly admit fault or features being retracted for x/y/z. Just a fear I had, which has semi been put to rest after a few replies on here. Still can't get excited for this though, will try the demo and hope the racing is better.
Larger online lobbies is appealing, though that will depend on the ability to set online races for 'real' endurance runs with tyre wear, break wear and pitting. Some of these road tracks don't seem to have much pitting.
Suppose it depends on how you view Forza - racing or driving simulation.

Thanks for the correction, I wasn't sure of it since I haven't played FM3 for a long time.

Lol square ugly headlights.
They're trying to turn a leaf! Let's give them a chance.
although this will be their first FFB wheel D:
edit: nevermind their "design" looks a lot like this seitek wheel: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013F6NBG/?tag=neogaf0e-20
they bought seitek so it'll probably be very similar i guess

Anyways, I've never really been into racing games (except Burnout and Dirt), never really into cars even. A few months ago when I got my license and we got a car (not a van or truck like we had), and I started looking at cars, watching Top Gear, all that sort of stuff. So I just recently got into cars. I think the game looks really cool, but by diving right into Forza 4 am I making a bad decision? Am I still going to enjoy it?
In my opinion Forza is the easiest "sim" game to start with.JackEtc said:

If you had to buy ONE driving game, Forza would be my choice to anyone. It will ease you in slowly and take you right to the highest sim console racing can give you. If that's what you want. It doesn't have the arcade craziness of a burnout with huge jumps and crashes tho.. so don't be disappointed if your car doesn't slice in half.

They're really not that bad anymore. It's sort of like "LOL Windows VISTA" even tho Windows 7 has been out for 2 years. Perception changes take longer than real changes. I just bought the Rock Band keytar and the thing is a very solid Midi keyboard with fantastic construction. I think they're really stepping up lately.
