They had some playseats with Microsoft wheels at the main booth and some stations with controllers between some other games. They really didn't give a fuck. :lol The GT5 presence back then seemed much bigger. Must've been the big GT5:p pods and the Audi with a Logitech-wheel and TV on the hood. :p

Good news! Forza is there!

Bad news! Look closely at the crates...
Hey, we called it! :lol

Mascot said:
I don't think Turn 10 have actually started work on FM4 yet, and that's why they won't show us screenshots of the recent Facebook cars. I reckon there will just be a mad panic in the studio the week before release.

(In order to subscibe to this theory you have to ignore everything that was shown at E3. And all the other stuff).

You're saying they're going to repackage the Forza 3 Ultimate Edition and call it Forza 4?
Mascot said:
Repackaging it would take too much time. They'll probably just put a sticker on the old box.

They just forgot the sticker!

but that was in forza 3

So? 2/3 of the Forza Garage 'reveals' have been cars that are returning. I mean it's nice to have confirmation of returning brands so we don't have to fear another Porsche scenario, but otherwise, woo-hoo.

eso76 said:
l88 corvette...not another muscle car please, the game is turning into Bullit/Driver.
Oh, plus that was already in fm3, i forgot :p

Corvette's not a muscle car. The '67 Stingray in the game might be the L88 one, though.

I want a ZL1 engine upgrade for the C2 and C3 Corvettes; hit over 200mph at LeMans back in the day. Really want widebody kits to allow appropriately size racing tires too.

Just re-using the shipping crates from FM3; the driving rigs are probably the same, right?

It would make no sense to have Forza 3 there instead of Forza 4.

They're probably just using the old boxes.

yes, but they wouldn't be so tight lipped about it, i don't think.
In any case, like i said Badned has been hinting at open wheels from the past.
It's pretty much confirmed at this point, just a couple more days for the pics :)

ok then, enough with american cars :p
i'd rather have the Lada Niva and a UAZ at this point :p

On the other hand, the honda HSV 010 is basically a given with the SuperGT stuff from Japan !
Sexy car.

God damnit Honda hurry up and revive the NSX already, stop putting out sexy prototypes.

It's only confirmed, when I see it coming out of Dan's IBL'd beard.

And yes, enough with American cars. Not going to pull a Clarkson and insult all American cars, but European car makers are superior do exists and they have awesome classics as well. Can't just ignore them.

"If you should develop a mechanical problem, it's the point between two service stations or between your home and your final destination at which point it'll take longer to return than to proceed to the next stop. It may not be the midpoint depending on whether the car can travel at the same speed in either direction due to road and mechanical conditions."


Ahem, more A-B tracks ? Bit of a stretch.

Ultima GTR sounds more likely.

Or this

"Day Of Mourning's Perseverance from "Hail From Perdition (EP)"

We've reached the point of no return
It's now or never

This may be the only chance we get
Leave behind provincial thoughts and mindlessness
How can we know until we've really moved on?
etc etc


The Day of Mourning was a day of protest held by Aboriginal Australians on 26 January 1938..hmm...doesn't help.

unless it's some 1938 car

like the Buick or this one

Relax, people. It just means that Porsche, Spa, weather, rally and night racing are in the game. At least, that's what I got from the clue.

BADNED is the fucking man; showing up whenever the mood strikes him, dropping cryptic teases as only he can, and then delighting in our collectively shitting ourselves.

or actually the game is going gold. what's not included at this point won't be (except, you know, DLC. Like a sunny sky for the Ring Dlc. I would have bought it :p)

or they realized they shipped the wrong crates to gamescom.


quoting my clever theory for the new page.

"We've reached the point of no return. It is now or never" are the first two lines of a song by Day of Mourning. Day of Mourning was a day of protest held by Aboriginal Australians on 26 January 1938.

looky here !

The Volkswagen Type 1, widely known as the Volkswagen Beetle and Volkswagen Bug, is an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938.

You guys think it's a little too far fetched ? : \
