So what Forza-wise is supposed to be happening at the Frankfurt motor show? Can't find anything on the web at all.

Dan shipped his BMW there in order to show that it can be replicated in the game.

It's the Renault Twingo. Perhaps one of the most important cars in automotive history...

We learned as kids that FWD sucks.

I think Turn 10 came to the conclusion that for FM4, there will be no Gaf interaction. A lot of people complained on the .net forums about how Che posted 'juicy' info here first while forgetting to post the same info on the official forums. Che's reply was that it was all about getting the game out there and Gaf was the perfect candidate...

Yup. Even on some reputable gaming news websites, GAF is often mentioned as a first-heard source of rumours. What better to spread publicity than a forum full of overexcitable nerds like us?

Why can't anyone put the 08-09 Cobalt SS Turbo in these games, it's so much better than the 2007 Supercharged model...oh well, no love for good cars...

I'm sure that's what it is ... no love for any good cars.

Forza Garage Round 2: Despite being different design philosophies, the 1995 Audi RS2 Avant, 1997 BMW M3, and 2004 Cadillac CTS-V have all proven themselves on Germany’s tortuous Nürburgring, a true test of sportscar prowess.

RS2 Avant :D

HOLY SHIT!! I have wanted an RS Avant in Forza in forever. Now they just need to add the RS6 Avant V10TT and I am beyond happy.

It is about damn time we got a hot wagon in Forza.

This!

Love Wagon/Estate's in racing games, "theothergame"4/5 spoiled me with the 240GLT, RS4 and RS6 Avants..

Where are all the pre-TGS leaks? Some shit always gets through the net a few days beforehand. Drop some bombshells on the wall of the dam, dammit!

The old Twingo was one of Renault most important car, the new Twingo ain't worth shit, its just another compact city car pretending to be a sport car, surfing on the old GTI trend.

With the Golf 1 and 2 being in the game, I'm still surprised why the Peugeot GTI (or at least the Turbo16) isn't in the game, it has a great history in motorsports (rally) and is quite popular in Europe...
Having new cars in the game is nice but missing some iconic cars like this one is quite questionable from Turn10.

Click to expand...

Gamefly'n. Forza 4 LE and Diablo 3 will be my only purchases this year. But I can't wait for Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Gears 3, Saint's Row .... 3. Lotta' threes up in this!

EDIT: Nice track, I've always enjoyed that one. Especially the full.

Woo another track I've raced on for hours on end already.


Yay.

That's pretty much going to be the reaction to the rest of the track "reveals" at this point. Brace yourself for disappointment!

Hm, probably already answered but... will it be possible to drive the cars using Kinect?
Or it is just for menu / AutoVista / Head Tracking use?

The track details/sky/road look so much better.


This shit is going to be bananas.


Less saturation more details, less saturation more details!

Lookin' good, but it's still a track that I've been on before all too recently. I'm still crossing my fingers for a massive bomb to drop, but not holding my breath (sadly) :(

You can drive the cars with kinect Jebus, that's what I said.

No controller required.

Oh, ok, better now. Sorry, I'm kinda "sleepy" today.
Is there a video out there demonstrating this? How are we supposed to accelerate, brake, etc?

I think it auto accelerates and there's a gesture to brake or both might be auto, I forgot.


It's a great mode for kids, noob asses and old people to mess with.

lol the lighting is not that different. I think I was with FM2 motegi in my mind.
Click to expand...
Yeah the lighting/time of day is about the same. The biggest differences are the trackside/road detail. The skybox is a lot better and the trees/backdrop are a lot better.

Am I missing something? The trackside detail looks copy+pasted. The road looks like they've brightened the paint and that's all they've done.

Not that I expected radical changes, but the actual changes are really, really miniscule. Skybox and background environment look better, that's about it.

Not to mention the contrast as well, which is more even this time. At least parts of the track that aren't facing the sun now actually looks like they're indirectly lit by it.

The grandstands got more polygons. Look at the guard rails in the first set of pictures (top and around the yellow/blue doors), they used to be just a shitty 2d texture before; now they're 3d. The road texture looks a lot higher res than in F3. Grass on the side of the roads is 3d/has better texture as well.
