Disappointment, thy name is Maple Valley.
Looks good, though. I'm liking the new bridge and lighting.
WIR is up too:
Congrats on the certification release, Turn 10.

great track remade visually. i am happy.
actually, between this and the other returning tracks overhaul, i will renounce all my previous disappointments at the less then stellar new tracks in forza 4 if ALL returning tracks get this attention to detail. forza has always had the best looking tracks but it would be nice to see them overhauled as each iteration hasnt improved them much

Atleast that absolutely puts a nail into the Spa coffin. If they announced Maple Valley during the Belgian GP Weekend, you can put an end to your already slim hopes.
Maybe they can stop wasting people's time on their site with silly polls on what tracks people want?

Maple Valley reverse is fun.Diablohead said:
Makes a neat track for quick online races, too.
Maple is a great all around track, as the release notes say and I do agree, its great for racing, drifting and photography, definitely one of the best fictional tracks I've played in any racing game, along with Sunset Infield & the main coastal track in othergame5, its best feature was the long ribbon of that track with the arking roads spiralling out over the edge!
supersaw said:
Maybe in terms of budget. But the teams seem to be different if you view some of the vids they've released so far.
Sad reality is that you can get more people excited with new car announcements than new track announcements.
My coworkers are big car fans and big Top Gear fans. We were chatting and they talked about my wallpapers of racecars and I let them guess what all of the wallpapers had in common. No one guessed so I had to tell them that they were all from Road America.
Maybe T10 recognizes this. More people know about cars than motorsports in general. I'm guilty of this too I just found out about India making an F1 track.
So it makes sense...but what T10 should do is release stuff like an ALMS pack that has the 4-5 tracks remaining and release that as a big mega pack. Or separately.
By now I was hoping that these racing games would have a large encyclopedia of tracks like Rock Band would. I could go online and buy these if I wanted to.

I'm actually glad Maple Valley is back. Beautiful track, some challenging corners, and I'm digging that new bridge.
Iknos said:
Yes I would easily pay $10 - $15 per track like I do on iRacing. We will see what their strategy is in regards to DLC and I hope we see a lot more DLC tracks than we did with FM3. I'm certain that you can model many cars for the cost of modelling one track so I can understand why they do what they do but I'm also certain that a community favourite such as SPA, Brands Hatch or Bathurst would sell very well indeed.
It wont feel fresh to me so long as the layout is the same.OrangeOak said:
What an incredibly disappointing reveal.
Me thinks that Turn 10 has little else to show at this point and are just trying to milk the hype by playing up crap like this.
Whatever. I'm very excited about the game, but its gonna be a slightly updated Forza 3 and thats it. User-hosted public lobbies is the main selling point for me.
Seanspeed said:
In a nutshell its Forza 3.2
Things that should have been fixed like steering assist and public lobbies have been fixed. Fixed career so you aren't broke all the time.
They threw in a track. Added some "challenges" to complete. Added rivals mode.
That takes it up to v3.1
The "autocross" and "track day" features are misleading...they're psuedo-autocross and psuedo-trackdays.
The unified tire physics system is new. Happy about that. Worked on suspension model too that's nice.
That takes it up to 3.2
Maybe they're just happy with beating the competition on other consoles but they are capable of so much more.

Nah, it's a nice track and (just as importantly) has a very nice color to it compared to all the boring (aesthetically) real world tracks.Diablohead said:
Rain conditions, night racing. All will be forgiven Turn10. Do it!
Doubt that would be possible at 60fps on the 360. I'm still incredibly surprised the game looks as good as it does now. Adding in the extra particle effects, lighting and handling calculations would surely push them over the edge. And with night racing, the lighting from the other cars would be a burden that I doubt they have the buffer for as well.Elfforkusu said:
Sure, it'd be great if they could pull it off but they're already doing a ridiculous amount with the hardware they have in the first place.
Iknos said:
I am sure they are, but also development time and budget is a finite resource.
I think there are always stuff they can fix / add but imo the game is looking good, hopefully they won't release another forza till next xbox release time, or a yr into it so they can really spend more time refining it.
sneaky77 said:
Agree with all of that.
Game is indeed looking good. Truth be told "Forza 3 with fixes" would have looked good to me.
Just could have used that one or two features that would have really differentiate it from Forza 3. Rally or weather would have been it for me.
Rally with Forza's tuning and upgrades would have been something. And of course livery editor.
According to the Forza Facebook page the achievements list is out
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/forza-motorsport-4/achievements/
Season play goes to yr 10 aparently, didn't forza 3 only go to 5?

Unicorn Hunter
Be the winning bidder on any "unicorn" car in the Auction House.
This is going to be the hardest achievement in the game. In Forza 3, the credit glitchers ran the unicorn auctions up to like 800,000,000 CR. Because of this, unicorn auctions were EXTREMELY rare.
I f**king hate the idea of unicorn cars.

How is that a Kinect-only achievement? You'll be able to take a photo in the homespace with a controller.DasRaven said:
According to the guys at Turn 10, there's nothing groundbreaking that you miss out on with playing only with a controller/wheel, other than the obvious like head tracking and controllerless gaming.
Edit: Oh, I see you were referring to two different achievements there. Yeah, the Kinect-only cheevo is pretty poor.
Yeah, I'm pretty fucking over the idea of unicorn cars, too. What's the point of having 600/700 cars in the game when some of the coolest ones are practically unattainable? Basing a cheevo around it too is kinda crappy.U n i o n 0015 said:
Also, with those extra "Perfect Draft/Drift/Corner" achievements, anyone else think the game might have a bit of a PGR feel to it?
enzo_gt said:
Pretty sure there are achievements that require Live for a lot of games. Like win an online race or fight or deathmatch.
Yeah its BS but its been done before.
C'mon MS...we need an achievement for "lock to lock in under 2 seconds with a 900 degree wheel" to sell Fanatec wheels.
