Forza Motorsport 4 - The Floodgates Have Opened...

Gotta agree with you there. I was excited that they brought cockpit views in with Forza 3, but then never used them again after realizing they were so awful and lifeless.Xanadu said:
The FOV and useability is as good as any cockpit view out there now. Cant wait to play around in some open-top cars.

The demo was pretty good. Already it seems greatly superior to FM3. And the FOV isn't at all bad. In fact it looks like it's been reduced slightly from the Game Show demos I've seen. There's still a bit of warping going on but barely noticeable.
Cars sound great. The handling is excellent save for the assist that's still present in simulation mode. Ai settings seem good. With all assists off and using simulation handling I could get to first place within half a lap driving the 458 against medium AI. Against Hard AI I would only just win after two laps. Professional...well, yet to win!
Only downside was the game seemed a little jaggy, but that might have just been the circuit. FM4 is rendered at 1280x720, yes?
All in all I can't wait until next week!

This youtube channel has some videos. Not the best of quality, but better than nothing.
Edit, some are direct feed.

Double edit. Were these some of G rom's videos? I didn't get the chance to see them.

FM4 vs FM3 screenshots
All from hotlap, so looks like the game increases the AA in this mode.

The skyboxes looks better on FM3 :O
edit: actually they look all the same

Yeah, Forza 4 pleasantly surprised me how much better it looks graphically. Did not think the 360 would be capable of outputting graphics this good and keeping a solid 60 fps. Less than a week to go fellas, you will experience the greatness that is Forza 4.

I love that it's a locked in 60fps. So damn rare for any game or genre.

So apparently there is no flat paint option. Some cars (like that Maser) have that option when you buy them, but there is no actual option for flat/matte paint in the paint menu.
Ugh, why would they have that as certain stock paints but not actually available for all cars??

Me as well and I'm 100% in agreement with you about how amazing these two games look. Man, I got to get back on Gears 3 though, I was all about that game until I got my hands on Forza 4... haven't played Gears 3 for five days now :/skyfinch said:

seriously man...
The industry need to strengthen the freaking tools and solve AA problem.
Jaggies make the games look like crap.

Xbox360 came out in 2005, bro. I'm sure they could have much better anti-aliasing if they reverted to 30fps, but thats not a trade-off worth making in a game like this. As it is, I'm supremely impressed by how good it looks considering the limitations.Unregistered007 said:
No Xbox360 racer will ever look as good as GT5, but it can be damn close and yet far more fun at the same time and thats what matters to me.
Apparently LCE buyers who also purchase the DLC Season Pass will be gifted 250,000 credits to make up for the duplication of the American Muscle DLC pack between the two.

Meh, I wanted the pre-order cars, but I guess this is a nice bonus too. But by the time they deliver the credits 10/31 I'm sure credits will be the last thing anyone needs.

No. False. 360 can pump out equally impressive graphics as PS3, it's really up to the devs whether that happens or not. Forza 4 looks fantastic and is a huge technical accomplishment.

Unless they add in car only cheese mints it's not worth forking over for, cars only go so far...DasRaven said:
Been thinking about the people who were sent green discs today, kind of bummed about it, how did they select such people and why? maybe I moaned too much about car dlc
Seanspeed said:
dude no, I personally don't give a shit - I play racing games to race. Owning both, GT5 can look astonishing, but most of the time it';s a mess. I mean, driving on some of the tracks is laughable, with the glaring texture repeating , inconsistent shadows, etc.
Let's keep this discussion to the other thread, not in here.
WTF!?! This is BS solution to making the American Muscle DLC pack non LCE exclusive. The DLC pack was cool because I couldn't get it otherwise. I could honestly not give two shits about 250,000 credits. I want something that I could not otherwise have gotten. SMHDasRaven said:

There were so many fucking promotions going on with this game that I tuned it all out. The game comes out next week though, so I need to tune back in! I need to figure out what I'm buying.
The LCE and the Season Pass both have the American Muscle pack, is what I'm reading?

They class the american pack in the season pass as a "bonus" but it odes make you wonder how they could have done such a thing aka given the same pack out twice, did someone not say something in a meeting?Big Takeover said:
m0dus said:Also, Neogaf livery (well, I guess its up to you guys to make it official) is complete, and this Trueno is now available in the car club. I'll take requests on which car it NEEDS to be on. Say a drag, drift, and race trifecta? Also we need people to tune them
I humbly suggest that the FM3 unicorn trio NEEDS to have the GAF livery. I'll be contributing the trio to the GAF club.
That also covers your drag(camaro), drift(RX7sA/S204), race(S204/RX7sA) trifecta fairly well.
I'll also be unicorn hunting from day1 until I have the rest of them. I'm a collector first, racer second.

That is rather bizarre, isn't it? That does make my choice easier, thx.Diablohead said:
Those liveries look insane!

Are you guys seriously complaining about free stuff you are getting? If they don't make Muscle car pack available people would bitch and complain that they are being screw over by T10 to buy shitty LC edition just to get some cars. I mean it's bonus, it's free, don't use it if you don't want it. Don't get the season pass if it's really going to get you into a frenzy.

no because I don't want the season pass, i'm just saying what has happened.antiquegamer said:
As for "free stuff" I could post a bible long topic about current age dlc but I wont.
