Forza 4

[Turkish]

In all honesty rallying/rain doesn't interest me in the slightest despite a lot of people banging on about it. Plenty of games try to do both and end up with shitty wet/dirt physics. Night be it static or dynamic would be cool though but in honesty there are other things I would hope they've addressed/improved before adding some aspects people seem to ask for.

Just hoping some more info on tracks etc to start coming through.

Looking forward to seeing how the new tyre model works; Forza 3 seemed spot on to me!

I also cracked up every time the bald bloke spoke - he sounds exactly like the t-rex from Toy Story

The new BMW M5 will be drivable first in Forza Motorsport 4 and will also be featured on the cover of the LCE version of the game. That means the stunning super-sedan will be automatically included in the LCE version of Forza 4, and all Xbox LIVE members will be able to download the car to drive. In addition, fans will be able to explore the meticulous design and impeccable execution of the BMW M5 via Autovista mode, where Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson will take fans on a virtual tour of the world’s most sought-after cars.

I hope the top gear track will be like the open environment of 'benchmark' layout B or what ever it is, rather than the track on GT5 !

 

[Rhino172]

This mean we are going to get loads of M5 varients this time round instead of the gazillion R8's in Forza 3? lol

 

[Hixle]

RUF?? Please (!!!) say they haven't lost Porsche :dapprove:

 

[Turkish]

I think we'll be safe on M5 variants as there's only one at the moment IIRC.

The thing concerning me most at the moment is there have been mentions of RUF but nothing about Porsche. If Forza ends up only having RUF instead of proper Porsche's I'll be pissed off, especially as people suggesting this is the case say it may be a result of Licensing agreements with EA and the NFS series!!!

 

[Hixle]

I'll be proper gutted in Porsche don't make an appearance! NFS can f**k off.

 

[Chris n nic]

Thats looks awesome! I love the last track pic of the M5 as that is clearly in game (albeit photomode) which means there is potential for some amazing pics this time around! Agreed about the porsche tho....some decent RUF's but not the same imo....

Also the thought of the Yellowbird round the nurburgring makes me hard tbf

[Alex H]

Will definitely be pre-ordering the LCE.

 

[Cookie]

Want.

It can sit next to my other Forza LCE's

 

[Christopher]

I went for the LCE last time. I'll definitely be doing it this time.

I'd be shocked if Porsche weren't in this. I very much doubt they won't... I wouldn't worry.

 

[Jcs]

As strange as it sounds, I hope they have a few estate cars in it, such as Audi RS4, M5, Merc AMG etc.

Can't wait for this

 

[Silent_Scone]

E.A ... Trying to master PR marketing and ruining games since 1980

 

[Gareth]

Will definitely be getting the LCE but I always would have.

I'm concerned, it may be an elaborate bluff to keep people guessing and hype up the speculation in the run up to launch but if you had Ruf & Porsche licenses surely your LCE would roll with this...

 

[Turkish]

 

[Gareth]

when will we be able to pre-order then?

 

[Christopher]

Depends. BMW could shout pretty loudly about getting that cover car.

 

[Turkish]

I'm talking about the LCE car list not the cover car. Notice the Ruf is in amongst them but no Porsche. GT3 RS 4.0 > RUF RGT-8 IMO.

 

[Christopher]

Ah yeah, my bad.

Hmm. Maybe RUF are in the LCE list because they're a new manufacturer for T10.

I'd be annoyed if EA snatched Porsche. Idiots.

 

[Turkish]

Actually scrub that, Turn 10 are incapable of making white wheels so the GT3 RS 4.0 could never be in the game anyway lol

 

[Christopher]

LOL

 

[Gareth]

lol, so true.

 

[Chris n nic]

Even off screen that footage in game of the M5 looks much better than fm3 imo....fecking come on October!

 

[Hixle]

I'm searching the internetz high and low to see if there's any info on Porsche...can't find any.

The general consensus on the Forza forum seems pretty doubtful that they will be appearing in the game:

- RUF and Porsche haven't appeared in a game together in over 15 years.
- No Porsche branding on the Fanatic wheels at E3/Forza opening party.
- No Porsche logo at the start of teaser trailer.

I hope that this is all due to the fact that the licencing agreement that Porsche has with EA prohibits T10 from announcing anything Porsche related until release...but I think I'm clutching at straws there!

 

[Turkish]

It's not looking promising, as you say lets hope it's in relationship to some form of promotional/advertising clause in the licensing agreement due to EA also having Porsche in their games. I guess until the full car list is revealed we wont know.

 

[Hixle]

Thing is, haven't EA had a Porsche licence for years? Didn't stop T10 getting them into F1/2/3...

I can't remember if there was any announcement of Porsche being in FM3 prior to launch either. It's just this whole RUF thing that's got us all worried, lol! Let's just hope it's T10's way of introducing a new, extra manfacturer to the roster -rather than taking away one...

 

[Craigus]

So hang on. If RUF is in instead of Porsche, will they be different cars or just have a different name and badge?

 

[Hixle]

Different cars dude, RUF aren't a Porsche tuner but actually classed as a seperate manufacturer. Some [most] look the same, though - just with a bit more max powarghhh add ons.

IIRC.

10 pages about porsche/ruf on forza forums but no answer. useless

 

[Turkish]

In fairness they're no more informed than anyone else. Turn 10 have not made any statements confirming Porsche are in or out so it's purely speculation at this point.

Shouldn't be too bad

It's only GAME and Gamestation in the UK that you can get the LCE from anyway

I'm gonna pre-order instore at Gamestation, because the nearest one is 2 minutes walk from my flat

 

[jesus]

How much?!

The people in GameStation freak me out, I'll stick to online

Cheers.

 

[Turkish]

lol £60, f**k right off.

Especially given I ordered the LCE last time round and then subsequently Turn 10 not only sold the extra content that was part of the LCE as a download pack but brought out the ultimate edition which meant you had to buy yet another copy of the game if you wanted to own all the cars in the line up..

 

[Chris n nic]

I agree £60 seems steep but I guess there are 15 or so cars given extra which is pretty much 3 dlc packs at 4-5quid each plus all the other gubbins and free gift cars sent during the following months. I'd have to get it as I can't hack having a daft black bora bombing around on track lol

[Silent_Scone]

Bloody EA, it'll be tied in with them I'm certain. Who gives a bollock about NFS!!!
