camino looks great - i was worried they had to tone it down for FM4, but instead, it looks like its just been re-arranged with new details added. so, why did they ditch full positano again? DLC me please.

How can withholding media maximize exposure??

I really have to explain how drip-feeding information over several months maximises exposure for a game? Really?zephervack said:

There's no denying the talent behind these airbrushed celebrity portraits, but (like anime stuff as well) it's hardly appropriate imagery to plaster all over a race car. I've never understood their popularity. Give me a good sponsor-laden replica race car livery any day of the week.
Like I said though: kudos to the artists.

I understand that, but we are weeks away from release, not months, the NDA lifts like 2 days before the game is out, right?

HAve you been following this game at all? There was an NDA lift just last week and videos aplenty from all the big sites.zephervack said:
I don't know what you want, someone to play through the whole game for you and put the video in YouTube or something?

Anime cars can be amazing but if done right I'd just keep them garaged for collection purposes. I like that type more than photo type of liveries.
Motorsport liveries are number one though, followed by crazy abstract designs.

, is there an official car list now?if you see lots of anime and celebrities on the auction house, then that means that ..they sell?Mascot said:
racing livery replica is easier for such people. back to forza 2 I had a lamborghini with guernica painted perfectly on the car. fuckin guernica!! and in f2 iirc, creations took place usually on the roof of a mini

I didn't realize that Hockenheim was in this game. Awesome!eek5 said:
Edit: here's a GIF that I recently made from near that section of track...

I'm not denying their popularity - I just cannot understand it. Maybe in the 1980s when airbrush art was all the rage, but artistic taste has moved on a bit since then. I would have thought there would be more graffiti art on the auction house, for example.
Each to their own, I guess.
I think if you're good at shading, doing that kind of stuff is a LOT easier than actually working out solid shapes. There is a lot of leeway working with brushed stuff than shapes. It looks intimidating from the outside because of the layers but it's really just manually brushing by copying the gradient shapes over and over. With graffiti type stuff you have to worry about aligning all the shapes to near 1:1 matches, resize them out so you're sure they line up. Outlining groups of shapes in black isn't as simple as copying a group, making the color black, and sizing it up because everything isn't perpendicular, etc.Mascot said:

I've been following the game - where exactly should I be seeing these videos aplenty?
Gamespot is the only website I've seen that has a video preview.
What I want is to be able to see an entire lap around a track with a full field of race cars. Also it would be neat to see a few different classes of cars to get an idea of the body roll on an old muscle car vs. a newer car to see the physics in action.
Awesome! They really are of excellent quality!p3tran said:
The only way I can make anything in forza is my creating a grid to draw against and making a similar grid in whatever my viewing software is.
If you get a fun meme related design out it should sell quite a bit.
I came back to 998k or so sitting waiting for me for just one design that I managed to get up before anyone else. I'm a terrible artist so I'll have to rely on eek5 for all the rage faces.

But there's no way a game can capture that w/o better camera effects that compare to real lifes.
You should feel the feedback on the controller/wheel if they implemented it like they said they did, that will make a huge difference in FM 4 if they worked it in the ring.

Go back through the last 3-4 pages, all of the recent ones are fucking glorious.
The tracks and cars look godly.
Slayer-33 said:
Agreed. The cars and tracks look fantastic. I just feel driving the 'Ring in F3 was too easy when I compared it to how it felt in PGR4 and GT. I feel like I'm gonna lose the car constantly in those two games because of bumps and the high curbs.
If they did reword the track to increase the haptic feedback to the player, then I really can't wait for this game anymore! Gears is only doing so much to keep me busy.
h3ro said:
i would imagine the improved sim feel will lend a lot to the rings twists, turns, bumps, and crests. i think it will be a much more harrowing experience knowing if you are pushing too hard you can easily lose control of the car, more so than ever before.

I'm sliding and bouncing all over the place in 3 with my setup and I honestly have no idea what people are talking about. Even back a few pages somebody posted a picture if how wide it is IRL and then it went complaining about bumps. I can only assume if the FFB is there for the bumps that the tree count will come into question.Slayer-33 said:
there is an entire subforum on fm.net just for racing liveries. there are plenty, and also you can have built to order whatever you like. but street & pop art of great style, eventhough they exist, it is hard to find by chance on the auctions. better to search fm.net or put up a topic of your interest.Mascot said:
p.s.
about extra effects like bumps etc, as well as a shitload of other features, you guys have to keep in mind that this is the 3rd forza we are getting on the same old machine.

I loved the feedback through the controller on tracks from PGR 2+ I felt that I actually had more control over the car and any little bump or slight drop or jump translated perfectly to the controller. I could tell when I was losing grip/control of the car because of the way rumble implementation was done. If they got this shit down on FM 4 near the level of PGR 2's + it's a huge game changer.

You probably wouldn't be able to do the same in a real car. Therefore controller < wheel.
Wait...they fucked up the number of trees on the ring?? How the hell could they have done that? It's called "Green Hell" for a reason! If they don't get the tree count right, it'll end up looking like any other track and completely kill the character of the Ring....flyinpiranha said:
