I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but the watermark in 4 is so much classier than 3. I'm in love (with all of it).

And not blurry, which is a plus

Toss him and Xanadu on ignore, it makes a huge difference. Had to do it with the Forza 3 thread and even the GT5 thread for the most part. Both of them have been banned for being absolutely terrible posters but they keep getting allowed back, no idea why.

My pre-launch criticism of FM3 and GT5 was accurate, though. I played them both extensively at PAX before their respective releases and I tried to warn you guys about the hidden steering assist in FM3 and the overall lack of polish in GT5. Many of the fanboys initially freaked out but I think I was eventually justified when people finally played both games.

Whatever happened to the Monthly Pre-Order incentive gifts? Didn't T10 say something about sending a new car every month until launch? Or am I just making shit up?

 

[mclaren777]

How did it feel? It's true that braking is an issue with some of these console sims.

Did they disable the telemetry in the demo? Here's hoping the oct 3 demo has it.

It felt really good for the most part. I thought the STi had too much lateral grip and the 599 felt a little floaty. The other cars were great and the sound was easily the best T10 has ever created.

As we recently saw in the Zonda video, there seems to be some disconnect between what you expect to happen and what actually does. That might just be an optical illusion based on the in-cockpit wheel rotation (it might be mildly out of sync).

I have some minor concerns about the slip angle but I'm going to withhold judgment until I use my wheel with the full version of the game. I'm also curious to experiment with the ABS. I won the FM3 driving competition at PAX in 2010 by exploiting the way ABS worked in that game and I want to know if FM4 handles it the same way.

And I didn't try using the telemetry feature. Sorry.

what's up with this subaru?

 

[flyinpiranha]

EDIT: Meh, too OT, have fun ...

 

[mclaren777]

what's up with this subaru?

I was just going to ask the same thing about this one.

Is this some kind of Japan-only model that I'm not aware of?

looks like shitty kits

The grass and dirt textures still look stale but wow at those environments 0__0

 

[Iknos]

Could be a grill is missing and you see the bumper crumple zone underneath.

the grass and dirt looks great IMO - you sure you arent judging it based on the most recent pics where all the detail is lost in the motion blur?

Nah, the models are pealing away and we can see what Forza 4 really is, just a reskinned Auto Modellista! I knew it!

lol... looks like a bug.

Apologies for the potentialy oft repeated question;

What's the best pre-order deal going around in the US?

 

[Iknos]

The colors are off in half the pics from my perspective anyway.

Tried to preorder the limited edition today.

lolololololol

Well I didn't deserve it anyways for my lack of faith. Those who preordered it months ago deserve it.

Silverstone is up

 

[sneaky77]

never been a big fan of Silverstone, although I heard there is a newer layout that Forza doesn't have

 

[Sydle]

this game. it impresses me greatly. i needs it.

 

[Peterthumpa]

Was checking out the car list and again, my car did not make it to a game:

I wish I could drive it in some racing tracks as the roads nearby here just plain sucks even driving slowly. Oh well.

 

[Circle T]

I was just going to ask the same thing about this one.

Yes, actually. It is a VIS Racing body kit...

 

[shinnn]

^ lol.. so it's not a bug. Seems off though.

Nope, not a bug, just a mildly ugly real-life kit.

Hey Shinnn, if you see a pic of the E20 Corolla, please,please post asap!

Wait wait, they added that too? UGH yes.

I haven't really looked at the list much, but I also hope they added the other AE86 Coupe...
Levin or Trueno.

Silverstone is up

Where the hell is the updated Silverstone GP track on that page? WTF T10?

 

[mclaren777]

Silverstone is up

I wish they would have included Donington or Oulton Park instead but I'm happy that they're using the old pit complex.

Are you crazy? The updated layout lacks Bridge, which is arguably the best corner on the entire circuit.

 

[saladine1]

There seems to be more options regarding base paint under 'special' thats all the pearlescent colours. You can also mix your own two-tone base paints

Oh and you can AWD swap Ferrari's but it makes the PI increase while braking, handling, and accel go down.

There are white wheels. You have to do it under "Matte White"

.

 

[eek5]

I hope if they ever update Silverstone that they keep the old layouts in

 

[h3ro]

:lol

Looks like all they did was change details and lighting on most of the returning tracks. I wanted to try the new track and also see how the new wing pit complex looked in game. Oh well.

 

[sneaky77]

yeah wouldn't make sense to just remove the old layout.. but well..

 

[shinnn]

I didn't see anyone so far. But I made a request in the fm.net thread right now. Let's see.

I know you're just posting someone else's ranking but I need to weigh in for a second. I spent a lot of time playing FM4 at PAX and its physics are nowhere near the same level as rFactor.

he put it below rfactor though.
the fact it's immediately below doesn't mean it's near the same level, rather, it means there's nothing between fm4 and rfactor, which is a lot easier to believe, although to be honest i think Gt5 will probably be still be higher than fm4 when all is said and done.

too many pics to comment; game looks glorious.
Some phtographers apparently have their setup all messed up, the game still has a little too much 'flat black' and slightly too harsh light/shadow balance but for the most part we're there.
Truly an amazing job by T10, and i can't wait for next gen (when we approach this IQ with even better -hopefully unified- lighting and full lod models for every car on the track).
Full grid on tsukuba yay

(still no self shadowing on cpu cars)

^I can't tale this anymore.. ^

Oct 14th is too far away

 

[eso76]

so, can we 'autovista' in different homespace locations or is autovista limited to the white warehouse?

 

[bj00rn_]

I feel like I've eaten too much chocolate.. I'd like a video or two though..

 

[Shaneus]

OH SHIT THAT MR2.

Wait. Starion. Fuck.

Have we seen the older MR2 yet?

 

[Aptos]

I want to get a racing wheel for FM4, but I don't know whether I should get the cheaper xbox 360 racing wheel, the unreleased wireless racing wheel, or one of the expensive ones from fanatec or logitech. I think I would like the pedals and shifter, so I'm leaning towards Fanatec.

Is there a consensus among Forza fans about which wheel is best?

 

[mclaren777]

Have we seen the older MR2 yet?

Sadly, no. That's the car I most want to see.

Quick question regarding the pre-order scheme. Do you get any sort of confirmation they've got and accepted your email?

I ended up going with Fanatec, but there is also the madcatz new wheel at 250, comes with pedals and shift i think. If you get the cheap Fanatec pedals you can get it for 280 though.

Ah cheers! Will boot up Forza 3 in a day or two and see if anything is there.

I can't unsee the claw-like hands on a lot of shots with drivers. The gloves look too tight, fingers too splayed. Racing gloves are 'chunkier'.
