Have they announced any pre-order bonuses for different retailers like they did for Forza 3? Can't find any info on it.

That Zonda Cinque is mine. I plan on getting a Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit livery for it so it can sit alongside the Most Wanted liveried M3 GTR I have...
Yeah if the visors were tinted it would look much better.
Make everyone look like the Stig and problem solved?
That pseudo autocross mode looks decent. Makes you wonder if they have or will convert the Benchmark track to support a layout. Custom layouts would be incredible...which means we shouldn't expect it.
It will add life to tracks we are familiar with and make some of the larger tracks suitable for lower classed cars. Some tracks that are boring with low classed cars can now be exciting. So props to T10 on the idea let's just hope they execute.

At least the driver is still better than FM3...
I understand why they do it, but it really is kind of neglecting the core fanbase. Their marketing so far for the game has been 80% casual-centric, and about 20% for the hardcore (constantly namedropping Pirelli, few and far in between details about Photo mode and stuff).LQX said:
We are left to deal with it. If the game ends up being ass somehow though..
So the speed wheel. I just tried it out for the first time.
Let me just say.. I no longer will be using a controller.
I would rank racing as obviously full wheel being top, then speed wheel and then controller.
It is small enough that it feels just like a normal controller and the movements are perfect and not over done. Love it!

That seems idiotic. If multiplayer is part of the game, why shouldn't the achievements be? Achievements are meant for those players that take gaming to the next level, I'd say that would pertain to EVERY part of the game, whether you do it or not.
EDIT:
So I'm curious for the people using the SpeedWheel, is it actually precise and could you hold something up like that for a long time? Seems like after 30 minutes or so I would hate holding my hands out like that.

Haha! That's awesome*

That makes sense. I was wondering if you had the range of movement you would have with that thing. I have my wheel setup but I'm pretty curious about that thing as a gift for a friend.
*awesome = absolutely terrible
I think what will hurt this is that people assume you have to hold it out like the stupid wii add ons and so forth.
I am sitting in my chair with my hands in my lap just like a normal controller and with pretty small movements I feel much more connected to what is happening on the screen.
The first time I corrected a bad turn and it worked it felt bad ass.
On about my 8th race with 4 different types of cars. The R2 was tricky at first but quickly it was a blast. I am right now very happy with my purchase.

It works. Unfortunately, I didn't get to spend much time messing with it though. I quickly tried GTR2 and Trackmania. You'll need to tweak the settings on a per game basis, but that's to be expected. The steering was smooth in both, but both needed quicker ratio settings.Fantasmo said:
At least from what I saw, it's completely usable.
Assuming the PC and 360 versions of F1 '11 are the same, I'm liking 30% saturation, 5% linearity, zeros for everything else. I also have KERS mapped to "up", and DRS mapped to "down" on the d-pad. Those work really well.
Sorry about the multiple play by play impressions. The more I race the more I like.
My favorite part about them is the triggers. They are very wide and it feels great in when being pressed.
Only negatives I would say is the missing bumper buttons and the rumble is a bit weak. It is there and you feel it but its sort of light on rumble overall.
Anyways what a nice surprise. Woke up this morning with no intent of ever buying this... now I do not plan on looking back.

I'll put it up to share so you can race it from the GAF car club!
EDIT: Holy shit! That Countach looks real! Talk about a blast from the past. What kid that grew up in the 80's didn't have that ultimate 6' poster in their room.

They'll be released as DLC at some point down the road; don't worry.
I'd be willing to trade my WRX code for a 1M Coupe code if someone's gotta play the WRX at launch.

Wait... does that mean we won't be able to get the other cars at all... even by DLC? Jesus, the least they could do is throw one of those cars each in the first 5 packs they release. Pretty sure most of those cars aren't available as a preorder bonus *anywhere* in Australia.EteRnal_PAL said:

Can I ask how you and BCD2 came across them? For reviews or something?
Edit: Such a quandry. Preordered online, $95 plus Mini as preorder bonus. Risk receiving it later than launch. In-store B&M, $99 plus WRX as preorder. Guarantee having it at launch, possibly earlier if street date is broken. What do I do, GAF? I'd prefer the WRX, I think...

Not too much new info (if at all). Must have been a scripted Q&A because those were the most generic questions I've seen. "So in Forza 4, there appears to be vehicles you can drive, is this true?"
Those pictures are amazing. I'll have to stop and take pics more often during a race.

The Speed Wheel is actually fully available in the US right now. However it seems that most GameStops only received one per store as my friend had to go to a different store to get hers since I bought the only one my store had.
I really cannot get over how decent this thing is for the price. It is the perfect middle ground between a controller and a wheel and I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by how nice this is.

Nice! So my car is in the game. Mega Hype
I think you are right on this one. Back at E3 they didn't have an exact time of release. Then it became end of october. Amazon said the 31st for a while and so did Gamestop. Gamestop changed their release date to 9/26 at the end of august. So I would assume that a lot of the lack of hype and reviews can be attributed to the uncertainty about the release date.sneaky77 said:
