Only reason I'm looking forward to a possible demo is reading you guys' impressions of it. I won't play it - it's not like it's going to make me cancel my preorder or anything. I'm weird like that but I don't want to "spoil" the experience, come october - I want to savour it. Hyping yourself up for a game is almost as much fun as playing it! Must be, since I've been F5-ing this thread for months now like I'm its bitch.


I kind of feel the same way, I'd be perfectly fine if they didn't release a demo. If they do, then great.

But if not, it'll make the Alps seem new when we get the game.

it can't be a demo, unless it's one track and one car.
I'd be happy with a long launch trailer. Happier, actually.

Maybe a 60fps video ?


Very nice read about engine sound, but don't hold your breath for Bathurst or Spa !

Any video over a gig better be a fucking feature film.

they said it's 500MB or did i skip posts in excitement ?

making of hockenheim was a 246MB video for comparison and was 5'30" long

maybe a huge 11 minutes long video ?

maybe one full lap of the Ring in a slow car ? one full lap plus replay in a fast car ?
full race replay of a shorter track ? THE WAIT IS KILLING ME ALREADY !!11 MAKE IT STOP !
 
You's guys be crazy if you don't want a demo! I have to get my wheel setup tuned just right for the big day! Plus, it's racing, not like I can spoil it as I'll be racing for the next 3 years lol!

But to each his own, just don't tell T10 you don't want a demo, knowing our luck that would be the one post they read: "We heard from fans that a demo isn't wanted!"

maybe an hour long making of video, that would be cool

around 11 minutes

like i said, lap on the ring in a slow car, lap + replay in a fast car, full race replay of a shorter track...or...


...or actually, one lap of THE FREAKING AWESOME NEW POINT TO POINT TRACK: The TRANSFARAGAN !

(or the other new track that will make drifters happy)

Ok, so I bought all of the cars that could/would be transferable. I'm still thinking about completing my final season (6 more championships to go) but it's kind of empty since the new game is less than a month away. Is there any reason to complete the season? Will any of my cash transfer over?

From what has been said only what has been listed (cars) will be transferable.

No cash will transfer over.

Hmm. Forza 3 page on fm.net no longer works for me.

...

I'm happy to see motegi back, it's a great track.
I'd be nice if we can move the camera away from track a bit more, like this pic I once managed to take.

Fuuuu ... I was hoping to not have to get all the way to 50 ... although, credit farming isn't going to be like job hunting in the states right now is it? Like, it will actually be possible to earn some?

Post on GAF, ignore the other forum. Problem solved.

not really, but it's better here than anywhere else at least

I read that thread and let me just say:

1. E39 fanatics: serious business
2. People defending the game's faults by saying "deal with it and just be happy its in the game" is facepalm worthy

#2 are probably the same people who can live with the Enzo nose and F50 wheels :lol

What's even wrong with them? I don't care as long as it's old school Forza, great tuning, custom paintjob, solid framerate.

You can also try and figure out the tracks by counting the missing numbers between each track page.
E.G- http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/Tracks/Detail.aspx?id=2147483846= Hockenheim.
http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/Tracks/Detail.aspx?id=2147483849=Infineon.

Between the two, we have 2 numbers(47 and 48). Indianapolis would have to be one of those. Maybe someone can figure out the other. Would have to be a track that either starts with H or I obviously. You can also play around and figure the other tracks as well if you are bored..

There are fans and there are fanboys and GT fanboys are the worst. Not just this forum it's worldwide.

Ask the mods there to make a gt vs forza thread there that might do the trick.

Thanks for the link I realized that I could read Ars technica on my phone so I checked it out. What is with Dan hinting at those tracks if they aren't in the game now especially after that. And I was willing to pay for them before.

They should have included those tracks and thrn offered fm3 tracks as free downloads fr new copies of the game so people don't buy used.

It's what they do - they can't help themselves..! :lol

I'm sure somebody at TGS will ask Dan about NightRallyWeather and he'll grin, wink and still say something like "we aren't talking about those features this week". It's in his blood.

Also I don't understand how t10 couldn't fix those issues with those particular cars. You gents are doing their work for them by pointing them out. if they can't fix them them they should pull them from the game and then offer it as free DLC later.

It's not just the nose that is wrong on the Enzo...the headlights are off and the side view mirrors are off too. When 30% of the details are off that's when you should think twice about putting it in your sim. Its not proper sim physics if it's a cheap knock off or ghetto approximation the same mentality has to apply to the car models.

that's an interesting find, hadn't noticed the numbers were sequential

Btw, i believe that's IBERIAN test track (counts as separate location).
Still, this means there's a few left

so, we have

01: ____amalfi
02: ____autodromo internazionale del mugello
03: ____benchmark high speed ring
04: #42 bernese alps
05: #43 camino viejo de montserrat
06: #44 circuit de catalunya
07: #45 fujimi kaido
08: #46 hockenheim
09: #47 iberian
10: #48 indianapolis
11: #49 infineon raceway
12: #50 ladera
13: #51 le mans
14: #52 maple valley

15: #53 mazda raceway laguna seca
16: #54 Montserrat
17: #55 Nurburgring
18: #56 Nurburgring GP
19: #57 Road America
20: #58 Road Atlanta
21: #59 Sebring
22: #60 Sedona
23: #61 Silverstone
24: #62 Sunset Peninsula
25: #63 Suzuka
26: #64 XXXXXXXX
27: #65 Top Gear Test Track
28: #66 Tsukuba
29: #67 Twin Ring Motegi

30: ___
31: ___
32: ___

guesses in the next post.

figured i might as well fill the gaps with number we know/can guess in bold.
numbers between #52 and #65 might be wrong, as there certainly is one track that needs to be inserted between them.

I'm still bitter that despite being included in Autovista-- a mode designed solely for examining cars down to the most intricate of details-- the Enzo wasn't properly remodeled. It looks like a slipshod Chinese shed job.

This must be the third or fourth time this topic has come up. See what happens when we don't get new media, Turn 10?! Give us a demo this week, though, and all will be forgiven,
at least for now

so, if i everything in the above post is correct (which i doubt, but you guys will correct me):

There's at the very least one unknown track, and it's between maple valley and top gear test track.

could start with anything between "M" and "T"

Spa ?
Pacific Shipyards ?
Rio ?
Transfara....nope, that would be after Top Gear. It could still have a different name though.
Not Tokyo.

(could be...New York ! Dan's trollface)

according to the number of slots, though, there should be 4 more tracks.

However, there's no place for them between the bernese alps and motegi according to numbers.

So it's either tracks before Bernese Alps (Alpine Ring ? Ba -gulp- thurst ? Blue Mountain ? Brands Hatch ?) or after Twin Ring Motegi (can't think of any right now, then again it's probably fantasy tracks anyway).

Look at those gaijin, that's the way you do it
Outsourcing assets to a third world team
That ain't passion, that's the they do it
Models for nothing and the tracks for free.


We gotta install hundred meg patches
No more outfits please
Need to dump these standard models
Need to dump these 2D trees.

Wait, what, who, where, which... how?
So now there's evidence that there might be more tracks in the game than the ones we know about? More than we are EXPECTING?

Holy butterfly, that would seriously make my month.

By the way, what's happening over in Tokyo? Shouldn't we be starting to hear about stuff by now, even if it's just some shots of the stands being built and other guff?

I think Microsoft's TGS stand is as small as their entire Forza 4 stand they had at GamesCom this year.

At the very least, if i didn't miscalculate and the numbers in the urls are telling the truth, there's one track we don't know about between maple valley and top gear test track.

as usual, there might be 4 more if they're going to fill all 32 slots in the tracks page; that would bring the number of new locations to 10, same as fm3, so entirely possible (although they'd sure be taking their time announcing them).
Those would either have to go before bernese alps or after twin ring motegi.

sorry, i mentioned blue mountain, brands hatch in my previous post.
i was wrong, those would obviously have to go after bernese alps, so they cant be.
i can confirm blue mountain and brands hatch are NOT in the game actually

You guys forgot the TopGear Soccer Field.

FUCK !!

yeah so that means we know everything there is between bernese alps and tr motegi, no surprises there.
and it would be a strange cohincidence if unannounced tracks all went before bernese alps or after motegi, so i guess that they are leaving 4 empty slots after all. that or dlc tracks

sorry guys, no surprise tracks i'm afraid.

I seem to recall PGR4 having some audio issues when the game was installed, so it's possible that the same bug would happen on GoD.
I would rebuy it if it was GoD, regardless of price. Not having to use the disc would be awesome.

I was looking around at confirmed cars so far, and I see that a '78 Mustang King Cobra is in the game!? Amazing, I'm gonna make that little thing into a mean looking fast bitch. My hype is now through the roof.
