Speaking of ... have they said anything about how the livery editor is being improved? They've been awfully quiet on some fronts and that makes me nervous. I really hope this isn't a Forza 3.5 but I'm kind of getting that vibe. I will enjoy it either way because what I've seen is awesome but with 2 years I really hope Autovista isn't their crowning achievement for Forza 4.
I can see it's getting to the stage we are forgetting all the awesome improvements and starting to consume ourselves with all the negative stuff..
I'm happy enough, 2 years for
- 16 cars on track
- New game modes (Autocross/Soccer/Overtake challenge)
- Better AI with auto-upgrades
- 5 new tracks
- Better overall lighting
- Better detail on existing tracks
- Much better interiors
- More suspension travel/general visceral effects
- Autovista
- Rivals Mode
- Clubs
- Lots of nice new cars (well some are old
)
- New physics
- More localised damage
- PUBLIC EFFING LOBBIES!!!!
- New career
- Topgear Stuff
- Kinect Head Tracking / Voice menu shortcuts
- Nice homespaces for photo mode (presumably)
- Alledged improved Audio
the 'expecting to be pretty much as-is with minor improvements'
- Livery editor (only needs small tweaks, at least we can import old livery groups)
- Photomode (total speculation, lets not build up our hopes)
- Pitstops
- Tuning and customisation (Although progress unlock upgrades has been mentioned)
The 'probably not in, so don't expect it'
- Night
- Rain
- Porsche
All in all, despite one or two setbacks, and lets face it, 2 years isn't a long time (IMO), if people think this is FM3.5, I'd hate to think how they deal with CoD iterations etc..

How hard would it be to take the tracks from Forza 1 and update them?Xanadu said:

For real. You can announce a sequel with megaton reveals, but if you don't keep feeding people bombshells periodically until release someone will just forget about them and start thinking..so, that's all ? meh !
At one point this also happened to PGR4...someone would dare call it PGR3.5
Also. Upgrading Fm1 tracks is not that easy.
Last gen stuff has to be redone from scratch. Well, sure, not everybody seemed to care (cough..PD..cough) but last gen assets won't do. Updating fm1 tracks means remaking them for the most part, which basically takes as much time as doing things from scratch.

Again, nothing new, but it's reassuring that there's so much positive impressions around..

Is it me or are the menus... Not as great as FM3? I don't like white schemes yet F3's UI was incredible. FM4's doesn't look nearly as good. Not saying it'll suck but... Just an opinion
With this comes the soundtrack 'issue' I have too. I love FM3's songs. I would LOVE if they had all of them in FM4 along with new ones. I know I can just play them by streaming from my PC but it just isn't the same. I've heard some songs from the new game and they sound similar, very similar in style, tone, etc. Which is great news. I'm just afraid it won't have memorable songs like FM3 to me has.
Just a few things to spark discussion... These are by no means dealbreakers to me. Number of locations is a whole different matter though.

Lol, that crazy Dutch fuck should be banned from the planet for drug-fuelled sexual crimes against gerbils if nothing else.enzo_gt said:
When Activision closed the Bizarre forums it was a sad, sad day. Miklaren archived a lot of the old threads and Cheex set up Strange Developments as a new forum but it's slowly dying due to lack of interest.
Is your old man still rockin' Ferraris?

Nooooo... Its fm2 soundtrack i miss
Beats on repeat, beating on me
From every car in the street
There's a constant repeat, on repeat
Of your paranoid, heartbreaking beats
On repeat
LOL
Ho damn, I've been away from BC forums far too long, I missed the closing of the forum altogether. And I'm broke as a joke bud, I think your thinking of iceburns288, still got him on my live friends list, though I've never played with him in the 4 or 5 years he's been on there. I remember him as well as the rest of the forum getting increasingly less active on the forum too as the days went on, after PGR4 especially. I moved my way to TXB and now found my home at GAF!Mascot said:

"Daft Punk is playing in my house, my house..."Xanadu said:
God how I hate that song, it was the build up to nothing that annoyed me the most, but overall it was just really boring. Big fan of 90's EDM and liked Insomnia, it was heaven after all the tracks I hated, I had no music on my Xbox and I didn't want to turn off the few songs I liked, so I kept the music on. "Daft Punk is playing in my house" isn't that bad, I just got really sick of it and there's no depth what so ever in it, also really makes you wish the soundtrack had Daft Punk in it.
The FM3 soundtrack is amazing, it really fits the game and menu design without being dull. The songs in FM4 seem to be just as good and fitting the slightly darker look (menus are now grey).

Working for me...... My Forza however isn't.... I can't access that fucking part of the website 90% of the time, and it's pissing me off..... I've been meaning to create some videos too, fucking hell......
Long time since I played it, went through some of the songs, but couldn't find it. Googled You're so cool Forza 2, found CSS - Alala, ...Xanadu said:
That intro is almost warning you.
Also, a lot of the songs are really similar, Spitfire, the one you mentioned, the one I mentioned etc. Think just a couple of people were in charge of the music.

i have absolutely no interest in driving a warthog in a forza game but thats just me, maybe im just boring but i like racing games to be as realistic as possible which is why i dislike rewind and auto braking and stuff. its weird because my friend thinks GTR2 is the most boring racing game ever and the best is GRID. while i find the arcadey grid much more boring due to it being so unrealistic and easy, you hardly have to brake! csb right

oh yes i agree, but most people dont even know what TCS is and just leave it on by default then when it comes off, theyre screwed. like i had a lot of fun in forza 2 with assists, i used to create lobbies that force off all assists except ABS, would see almost every car spin on the first corner and leave the game lolsneaky77 said:
