Forza Motorsport 4 - The Floodgates Have Opened...
- Thread starter G Rom
- Start date
ok, a question now that I remembered:
I have ordered and prepaid in full the lce.
yet the store (biggest retail chain over here) on my receipt has printed their internal code for pre-paying something they have not yet received, and it does not say anywhere "this 90euro payment is for forzamotorsport 4 preorder" or such.
I read somewhere that preorder papers are sent to t10 for something extra. (a unicorn?)
are these preorder extras for forza 3 or for forza 4?
and, if it is for f3, will it make a difference when I import from 3 to 4? maybe its a unicorn that transfers over?
if it is something that has to do with f3 only, I will skip the burden of going to the store and asking to print me some paper that clearly states F4 PREORDER.
if not, most probably I wont
so anybody who knows and can shed some light?

There's a preorder incentive program.

You get cars for both Forza 3 and 4. T10 send you the car (Unicorn Mazda Spirit R) in Forza 3 and when you do save game transfer in 4, the car will show up in your garage.

Never pre-ordered before but I did with the LCE, GAME (UK) would only let me put £5 down at the time even though I offered to pay in full, can I just pay the rest off now or do it when I pick Forza up?

Tried PMing Jube?
I don't know if it was a coincidence but when mine didn't come though I messaged him, didn't get a reply but the car was there next day.
Oh and let me guess - they STILL won't let us have horsepower AND kg's together?! Since Forza 1 they haven't fixed this shit - guess what, there are millions of people using hp and kg as their units for power and weight, don't assume that just because I don't want weight displayed as lbs, I automatically want to use kilowatts.. it may seem small, but for me (and many others) it's extremely annoying..
Well if that helps, let me know - I still haven't recieved mine either, and I sent it in September 12th

Because people like using the metric system while also using the term HP.
You also have metric hp, it's 75 kilograms lifted one meter in one second. Earth's gravity is rated at 9.81 m/s^2 so it equals to around 735 Watts or 0.74 kW.PjotrStroganov said:
1 kW is around 1.34 imperial hp, the one Forza uses which gives the Veyron 987 hp and BMW M5 E60 500 hp, but it is around 1.36 metric hp which gives the Veyron the 1001 hp we all know and love as well as the M5 E60's 507 hp. They gave the M5 E60 7 more hp so that it wouldn't have 400 something in the US and GB.
As far as I know kW is only used in daily speech in Australia, it's used in Europe, but you never brag about having 200+ kW because no one would understand you.
Exactly, most of Europe (as far as I know) uses hp, and NO ONE uses lbs. Therefore, putting it to metric automatically sets the power rating of the cars to kw, and I (and many others, I'm definitely not alone in this) want to know my exact HP figure when selecting or more importantly, upgrading cars. If I set it to english/imperial, I get HP, but also lbs at the same time.
It's such a small thing yet it becomes bigger when it's sooo easily fixed - in NO other game have I seen this problem. So if I want to know both the HP and weight of the car, I have to back out to the options menu, change the setting, and go back to the car again.

It's in the spirit of competition. I scroll through the rivals mode to see if anyone on my friend's list is the rival then I attempt to beat it. You break my record, I break you lolTokubetsu said:
Jube's rival drift score on Fujimi scares me though :/
Love how the car behind the Camaro is eating its dust lolGowans007 said:Some pics I took last night:

Do some rivals stuff and really see. I think they might have the demo dumbed down a little but who knows?
Rivals is where this game will eat away time after I build up my car selection and go through the career mode.
I also think Rivals is where I'll become a better driver.

I had a 2000 Z28, looked just like that.....What a piece of shit, as far as build quality.Ty4on said:And and the car behind it is a Camaro
But the 300 hp LS1 was lovely as far as waking the neighborhood.
amazing how close it is!Big Takeover said:
I pass you easily from go up to the first 4-5 turns (hint!), but then you go so smooth after the big slope down and left-right, that I cant really do that with the pad.
my game room is in this condition right now, so chances are you will remain 3/1000s of a second in front of me for a few more days.
enjoy my friend!! 8D

1:44 and change in the Cinque seems to be my limit at the moment. There's clearly time to be made up, especially in the wide-radius turn before the tunnel, and at the base of the long uphill stretch where I keep washing out wide, but it's hard for me to get those extra tenths on a pad.
Sure is fun trying, though.

if that time has a replay you can watch, i think. only certified times get replays (or is it ghosts?)

That's exactly right. My lap is actually pretty crap, but I nailed those two corners. There's plenty of time left on the table. There's a few more punches for us to trade.p3tran said:amazing how close it is!

Dan is not technically correct in his assessment, or he misunderstood the problem. The issue is only apparent on wheel in 900 degree mode. So fanatec wheels only. If you test the game at 270 degrees you will not see the issue that I point out in my video.
The issue is that the steering ratio changes drastically on 900 degree wheels when you are counter steering. Imagine that the xbox is turning your 900 degree wheel into a 270 degree wheel only when you are counter steering. In the video I posted/created I show the transition point where it goes back to having the lowered sensitivity of a 900 degree wheel.
