Forza Motorsport 4 - The Floodgates Have Opened...
- Thread starter G Rom
- Start date
Yeah, got super lucky. Was prepared to bid more, haha. All that's missing now is for Fanatec to choose me as a tester for the CSR Elite wheel...G Rom said:Damn, 110, now I'm jealous !
EDIT: For anyone that's interested in the CSR Elite testing and didn't see this posted in the Wheel-age thread:

I think the difference is Codemasters and PD don't have community managers as active/involved with the community so it's annoying for them to be revealing cars 3 times a day and showing us one picture a week. I mean at this point we know the game has been sent for cert so I really so no reason why they can't take a screen of each car even if it's the homescreen pic for the website (two birds with one stone). I mean at some point they're going to have to add those cars to the cars section anyway..Iknos said:

Just signed up, I own the Carrera and the GT2 and soon to have the CSP's so this would be icing on the cake. I don't like the look of it but I'm really curious about the FFB in the new wheels as compared to the GT2.

It was a month or two before release I think.
Yeah it must be pretty annoying competing with GT. Your product can be just as good but GT somehow still gets all the hype. There was, I think, two pre-release thread for GT5. Granted, lots of the posts where people raging over the lack of info and/or delays, but still :lolwatership said:
I think Forza 4 looks really good and the feature list as well. I just wish MS released a firmware update that enabled HID-devices
That will never happen though. I would run out and buy a 360 and then immediately pre-order F4 the second they announced that I could use my Logitech wheel. It's sad because I'd really like to support Turn 10 but I won't buy another steering wheel.Lol, I misread 'paddles' as 'pedals' and was just about to congratulate you on your deal beating my Playseat deal of a couple of months ago..!Arucardo said:Awesome, the deal I made on the Turbo S wheel keeps getting better. The dude called me and said he'll give me the club sport paddles and the sequential shifter too. Now I can start getting hyped for Forza 4
Still a fantastic deal though, dude. Congrats!
It's great when that happens.

Anybody know what's up exactly with the "Launch Bonus" car-pack? They say you get it if you pre-order early enough but that's kinda vague...
I pre-ordered the LCE from Amazon.ca and they do mention the Launch Bonus pack but still, not much details.
My theory is that it's kinda like the "Limited edition" of EA Games. The Car Pack is available with all the copies from the first run of production but again, Turn 10 is so vague and lacking communication for the game's marketing that it's really hard to know.

The Launch Bonus car pack is exactly what you described. It will be available to the first run of production. After that, the only way to get it will be from the marketplace.

Thinking back to those GT threads and you know, that was worse. The whole 2009 delay alone was hell. I'm just being a little bit of a bitch lately.
I'm sure if Logitech's next G series comes out it will include support for the 360 XID. Unless the reason it's not supported is some sort of exclusivity deal, which is doubtful. It's funny that the 360 has loads of wheels now, and the only hold out is Logitech G series.

I've done hundreds of laps on every Forza demo to date. I swore this time I wasn't going to wear myself out before the game even shipped. I want a handful of laps to form an opinion on the physics\input changes, and that's it! Demo deleted!Snubbers said:

Shitty photo compression confirmed? or no demo.
I can't wait for this Under the Hood, hurry up already!!
The lack of media makes it feel as though the game is still months and months away, not just a few weeks! Seriously, how hard is it to bang out a load of photo's each week. If it's intentional (which I think it is) then it's fucking stupid.

Snow? Night? I'm down. Will be Gamefly'd for sure though.
I just hope it's just racing and not "Hit X to Super Blast Targets!" because being a wheel racer makes this slightly annoying. Before I got my GT2 I tried NFS:HP and it just didn't pan out. I should try it now that I have my light up buttons on the GT2 though ...
Now where the hell is this information! It's 8:30 AM PST!
