You know you're going to enjoy it. Even after the clusterfuck that was the GT5 launch I still dumped hours into that game getting to level 30+.

Here's to hoping the Y button changes that. The GT/Forza community really needs someone who can translate Japanese :p

are you guys serious? :p
Off course that it's not the usual car selection screen. It must be a car club screen or something.

Flyingpirhana don't get me wrong the game will be incredible. Just not new of an experience for me to pay $60 from the little I e seen so far.

People should have fun with the game. I would too if I got it. Do I have $60 to throw around osbthe question. I got resistance 3 with the move and sharpshooter as a gift and I'm returning that to pick up F1 2011...so I don't think I'm being unfair.

I can't shake the feeling it's Forza 3.5. It's no longer day 1 for me.

$45 off newegg means I can Day 1 and sell it within the next month for $35+ to amazon if it doesn't sit well. Beats having to wait and play, atleast for me.

No $45 deal for me, I'm in the UK. I'm just not hyped enough to buy it for £40, especially with all the games coming out in October/November.

Looks like Car Clubs will be up to 100 Members. You can assign Clan Tags and delegate authority to others members (source: translating the japanese articles with google).

Some reviewers have the game now. Heard Jeff mention on yesterdays giantbombcast that he has it.

Also, I just played a few hours of Forza 3 with the Fanatec Turbo S, holy shit, belt driven wheels are AWESOME (SO SMOOTH!). Trying F3 with the fanatec just skyrocketed my hype for Forza 4.

I was going to buy standard too but coolshop for like half a day had the LE for £44 instead of £59.99, I can live with that just to keep my forza collection in the limited edition side of things still.

Yeah, that's cool. I know it's not for everybody. I just am not sure what people expect is all. I mean, honestly, there are a lot of things that "can" be added in every sequel but they can't cram a bunch of crap that 'might' work out, you end up like some other game. Most of the things people say are great are from different games ... weather from PGR4, physics from iRacing, tracks from Shift ... I mean, there's a reason each one of those aspects shine and they aren't in one game (yet).

I guess with last generation and this generation I've gotten used to sequels where they improve upon something without taking away what makes it great. It really just comes down to "did they improve upon enough?" and for me they have, for you they haven't.

And how much is the trade in for the sharpshooter? Been thinking of picking one of those up.

This might also be why I'm more excited for it than others, I have the GT2, Rennsport Wheelstand, and CSP (hopefully by launch but other things came up so maybe not) ready for this bad boy!

I played my first playthrough of Forza 3 with a pad. Then I got a wheel and GT5, upgraded my wheel from the Carerra to the GT2 just recently and rebought Forza 3 LE ... it's a whole new world!

Gonna suck if they release a demo and i still won't have a wheel. Mad Catz' FF wheel still has no date right? I know i'll end up with the game, and waiting 3 weeks for an import wheel to arrive or something.

I'm not there this year, but djmizuhara is. I don't think he'll have much choice about what he can do with the TGS demo though.

Here's a comparison I did. Edit, sorry about the size.

After FM2 onwards, I told myself "I don't believe it until I see it," but those are fairly good comparisons, skyfinch.

Reserving judgment.

It's not that I'm not hyped about FM4 anymore, it's just I'm being bombarded with news about other games coming out this entire time, and T10 isn't doing a good job of getting a fair share of my attention back.

there's some differences, you can actually see it from the e3 (kinect demo) build that the cliff faces have more poly's etc.

Also god rays coming through the trees, but these new shots are so bland.

Also more painted lines on the road....I think.

It sucks that they can put the whole Fujimi in while leaving full Positano in the dust. Though maybe Positano had more geometry, there were a ton of buildings and stuff on it that Fujimi didn't have. I just loved cruising that course, it was a nice break from all the standard circuits.

Are you guys blind or something? Go back to play F3 and you can see the changes.

Looking at the available ribbons for Fuji, it looks like there is a new hill climp and new downhill. I cant click on it to make it larger to see where in the track they pulled this section from, but the ribbons are actually called "New Hillclimb" & "New Downhill". The old hill climbs/down are still listed as well.

I would gladly trade them making 20 more cars for 1 new enviroment with 2-4 ribbons.

Can anyone tell me if this is the real deal?

Seems pretty cheap and comes with everything.

Edit: I think that's PC and PS3 only :(
Click to expand...

Yeah it's real. Their online shop can also be found here: http://www.pagnianimports.com.au

You are right, that wheel is only for PC/PS3. The Fanatec GT2 featured Xbox 360/PC/PS3 support - Pagnian imports had a few in stock last week.

I'm sort of afraid at how expensive (in Aus) the CSR Elite wheel is going to be when it drops (when forza launches).

but they're just different sections of the full track, i was hoping they would be entirely new roads.

light is coming from the opposite side compared to fm3.

looks like it's now late morning, sun was setting in fm3, which also gave the track a slight orange tint

trees are a little too dark now, i think overall fujimi fm3 looked more natural, from the pics at least.

Wow, has TGS been cancelled? FM4 delayed? I woke up this morning expecting a few new pages of media and reams of excited comments. Is there total apathy in Japan towards FM4?

Edit: Kinect only at TGS? That's a brave decision. And by 'brave', I mean incomprehensible.

New Hillclimb and Downhill were new for F3. The track hasn't changed at all.


I'd suggest, for Forza 5 (can't believe that this is even a viable discussion this close to F4, but it is) that Turn 10 take advantage of the environments they've already built and add to them. Give Maple Valley a new loop, add a third road up in Fujimi, give Sedona a circuit on the south side of the arena. The locations are there, the environmental assets already exist, I just thing that Turn 10 have managed to make some incredible tracks, from Maple Valley to Positano to Fujimi, so I'd be thrilled at having more of their creations.

I guess that's part of why F4 is so disappointing with only the three-ribbon Alps being the new T-10 environment.



Also, just realized that my latest posts have been largely negative. I'm still buying the LE day 1 and still going to be playing for hours.
