Forza Motorsport 4 - The Floodgates Have Opened...

I suppose I got a little suckered into the hype of Che's photomode pics in the F3 thread before it was released so I am approaching this one carefully.
But as you stated they have made a lot of changes in all of the right places.

Forza Garage: Three continents represent in the Garage today, with a little something for everyone. From Australia's epic V8 Supercar Championship series comes the 2011 Holden #11 Pepsi Max Crew Commodore VE; Japan brings the 1994 Honda Civic 1.5 VTi; and the UK returns the 1961 Jaguar E-type S1 to Forza.

The 2011 Commodore should be this one :

We've seen screenshots and videos that looked much better, so I'm not worried. It's not like Turn 10 is really good at making those shots. They should ask G Rom to do the job.

Thanks but they actually have a photo mode artist now. They were hiring for artist jobs back in march or april IIRC (I applied to the photomode one).


Edit : Beaten, wonder which livery will be in the game ?

Whoa whoa whoa, since when was the Sierra Cossy in FM3? Must go back and play!

Also, any news on either Aussie classics or early Mazda rotaries!?
No news on any Aussie classics yet. I'm sure everyone knows where I stand on that..

With regards to the rotaries:

Know what I'd really love to see? My first car (not my pic though, mine was silver):
IMG_6586.jpg


Sure, it wasn't much of anything but I just loved the look of all those early 80s Japanese cars. It would be something different, too... it's not as popular as the TA22 so it would be truly unique and perfect for Autovista! Do it for me, Turn 10!

Been trying to find that E3 off-cam video showing a screen saver/autovista mode set in the Top Gear studio. Anyone know where it is?

I'd forgotten just how nice it looked.

another, don't think I've seen this before.

Awesome, thanks (and you too, soundscream).

I think I'm going to have to go back and revisit all of the E3 videos. Information overload meant they were a bit too much to take in at the time, and I remember thinking that the floodgates were about to burst open with a load of direct-feed stuff. Of course, this didn't happen, and the reality since then (almost TWO MONTHS AGO) has been a barren wasteland with the odd tumbleweed blowing past.

EDIT: the IBL is really evident in that GTO video.

I wish we'd get more body parts for classic cars. I'd love to do more with my 240Z.

I love this car.
Awesome cars!
Mate, I also wish the classic Japanese cars get their specialty kits modeled for the game. It gives the likes of the 240z,C10's-C211's..etc an aggressive look which is something I really love. SHIFT 2 had some old school stuff for the classic cars which was a very nice touch.
I really like these:

Just head to the E3 thread if you want to see/read/hear pretty much everything that came out of E3 Mascot ! ;)

Since there's some wish listing going on, here are some french classics that I'd like to see added :

Peugeot 205 T16

Renault Clio Williams

Citroën DS

Renault Espace F1 (would be awesome for Autovista, just throw a Transit Supervan for good measure too)

Renault Safrane Biturbo

Citroën AX GTi
24056960001_large.jpg


Peugeot 405 T16
2524.jpg


Old Bugatti, old Talbot would be awesome too, and that's just sticking to road cars. For racing/rally cars : Peugeot 205 T16/Evo 2/Pikes Peak/Dakar, Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak, Citroën ZX Rallye Raid, Peugeot 206 WRC, Peugeot 406 BTCC, Renault Laguna BTCC, Peugeot 306 Maxi, Renault Alpine A442B, R5 Turbo Rally, Matra Simca MS670, etc...


I hope we get rally cars in the game. I'd kill to see Group B/Pikes Peak cars in Autovista.

If it's wishlists you want, mine consists of two cars: the Mk1 Ford Escort and the car I consider to be the most beautiful automotive creation ever, the type 14 Karmann Ghia. They are simply beautiful, and I came yay close to buying a mint example a couple of months ago. Just... perfect proportions. Never been bettered.

I respectfully disagree :

1-Ralph-Laurens-1962-Ferrari-250-GTO.jpg


Seeing it in real life back in June cemented my thought that the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is the most beautiful car ever created. This is probably my most wanted car in FM4 too (Autovista please !!).

We've finally got the right McLaren F1 and the right Zonda so there's hope that we'll get the right 250 GTO.

I would love to see a euro hot hatch pack.
Renault 5 GT turbo not the turbo2, clio williams, fiesta RS turbo, 205GTi etc.
Will never see them in game but I can keep wishing and wanting.

great list but you should add the 106 GTI, ive driven both a clio williams and 106 and i have to say, how good the clio is, the 106 is the best handling front-wheel drive car ever imo

That is a bold statement. I would have to say the Integra Type R is the best handling front-wheel drive car ever. There is a reason it is known as the FWD NSX.

No way, I had a clio williams before an old lady took away the front end at a junction. The insurance company then wrote it off.
But back to topic, it was a fantastic little car that I preferred to my previous hot hatch the renault 5 gt turbo. God I loved that little car, it was a ltd edition called the raider.
I then get married and afte my honeymoon I bought an escort cosworth, my wife told me to buy a bigger car yet she wasn't a bit pleased but that's another story.

ok i admit i have never driven an integra but i have driven a EG civic (vtec) im guessing they are pretty much the same? while the handling was very good i still think the 106 was better, its just a shame 106 gtis are so unreliable

Asklon is a (fictional) manufacturer from the Halo universe. They build the Warthog among other civil vehicles. This logo was seen in the leaked trailer alongside real manufacturers.

Halo will be ten years old this year so it seems plausible that Microsoft would want Halo anywhere they can put it (I mean, a Warthog in Kinectimals, a kid game ?!). An Autovista Warthog could be a nice way for Turn 10 to pay homage to the famous FPS. :p

Warthog autovista? Oh hell yes.

*I want to believe*

If only to hear what the hell Jeremy Clarkson would say about it :) Looks right up his alley, with the whole mounted chaingun and all.

So this, along with the realization that there are actually other games for the 360 I'm interested in, has persuaded me to use my Amazon credit towards buying a second 360. May be a bit out of line to ask here, but would anyone recommend buying a used console from Amazon's warehouse deals? I'd much rather pay much less for an old 120GB Elite than $300 or so for a 250GB slim.

Not worth it.

A big chance of the elite breaking down vs having a really reliable console thats WAY more quiet with wifi and bigger HDD? If anything get a 360 arcade when they slash the price from $200 to $150 or w/e + the credit and you got yourself the most reliable system for a super cheap price.

cmon now.

Thing is, the Elite would be $30 with the credit whereas the other would be $170. I also owned an Elite before and it wasn't loud at all, and 120GB is more than enough for what I'll be doing, but 4GB isn't enough. Otherwise I'd get the 4GB slim.

But whatever, as long as Forza 4 is in my hands.

I love that car. Even went out of my way to make a custom Asparadrink livery for a racing series I took part in despite there being tons of them on the market.
