Forza Motorsport 4

[79-TA]

The demo came out today and all I can say is the game is fantastic. The physics are much better, no doubt due to Turn 10's new partnership with Pirelli. The lighting is amazing, and the "white fuzz" on very angled surfaces has been eliminated. They worked with none other than Pixar to get it right and it shows. The car list has been expanded and now includes an early 2nd gen Camaro and possibly a late 2nd gen Trans Am (crossing my fingers for the latter.)


When I heard about FM4 a year ago, I was kind of upset thinking it would be a rehash of FM3, but with some Kinect Gimmicks. That's not the case and I can't wait for my LCE to show up in the mail.

Anyone else out there excited for this game?

add me to the list. I played the demo last night and was blown away. If you race the ford you can see what kind of older cars are in the game. I believe if I remember correctly there was a 442 olds, 2nd gen firebird, 69 camaro, 70 chevelle, 70 mustang...thats all I can remember atm...I cant wait. User name is hummdeez if you wanna play.

I want it! Olds 442! Woohoo!

[Nessumsar]

Me likey!

The Stig and I were going back and forth beating each other's times in the Rival mode.

Username is Nessumsar, lets race.

a friend of mine who i think might also be a former member here actually worked pretty extensively on this. Everything i have seen so far looks amazing.

[Ron@JJCustomInterior]

That reminds me i need to go hook my 360 back up and download this demo

[DartorDemon]

I hope it plays better than the last forza games. IMO grand turismo plays better.(but the latest installment kinda sucks)

[Motorcitydak]

I already pre ordered mine, it will be here the 11th which is the day it comes out. I did this thru best buy since you get some sweet cars for pre ordering it thru certain places

I liked playing Forza 3 because you can do drivetrain swaps. That is actually what got me started with the AWD Charger. I had the 69 Charger in the game, drove it around then did the drivetrain swap and really liked what the results were. Next thing I know, I started talking about building my own for real

[Motorcitydak]

Well f%$#, just got an email from best buy that the platinum edition that i ordered is now not available to me. They are offering me the regular one but Im still pretty pissed. I ordered it probably 2 weeks ago, figured that they would make sure they had it ready to be sent to me

[NJSPEEDER]

If it only lives up to 3/4 of the hype it will be the best driving game ever

Forza has always been more fun than Gran Turismo, but the graphics of FM3 compared to GT5 were terrible. If the graphics and physics are better it should easily beat GT5. GT5 has been one of the most frustrating racing games, sometimes I just want to set up a race for fun but it sure made it difficult...When is the release of FM4? As long as its before January so I can play it when I get home haha

EDIT: Also can't wait for a late 2nd gen (I wonder why), always used the '73 in FM3... Now if only upgrades from DSE, Baer, Wilwood and other companies big into pro-touring were offered on there...

[Bad Brad]

I am also very excited for this game! If anyone wants to add me, feel free. My gamertag is: A Bearded Yeti

[NJSPEEDER]

Just did some reading adn there are some people that have hacked their xBox's to do multi screen. If the kinect features with head following work that would make this game absolutely amazing.

[79-TA]

For anyone now playing Forza 4, you should check out the Pro-Touring club. Jon made it and the tag is "ProT"

[Nessumsar]

Matt made the club; the name is ProTouring and the handle is ProT.

You get the game yet Brett? We've got a couple presents for ya.

[79-TA]

Yea, I got it yesterday. I proceeded to show just how responsible I am by playing until 6 AM this morning.

The Indianapolis autocross in rivals mode is pretty fun. The '65 mustang I set up for it is now in the pro-touring club garage.

I got the Trans Am and Mustang you guys sent me. I was surprised by how faithfully Matt recreated my car. The only things to really change would be the exact color, the lack of a hood bird, and more power . . . which would put it on the awkward low end of B class so I can totally see why you wouldn't do that.

The first car I bought with my own in game credits was an '05 Mustang that I set up for C class. My fox Mustang is now also a C class car. And so is the Trans Am. I'll have to take some forza pictures and post them in this thread.


Here are some in game pictures my friend took.

Play tonight?

[dropped72ss]

what are your guys gamer tags? mine is furrlong if anyone wants to add me.

[Motorcitydak]

Im not willing to release my gamer tag since its the default one that xbox game me and its pretty lame. I will be changing it to Motorcitydak soon

By the way, I have already built my AWD Charger in the game.....its pretty much awesome. My only complaint so far is the tire size, they for some stupid reason wont let me put my 315's on all 4 corners

The really important question here is what times are you guys getting in the reasonably priced cars? I have raced he Liana and the Cee'd so far

[moreHP]

I dont have the game yet. Do you have to play a bunch to unlock cars or do you get a good selection right away?

[79-TA]

Jon, playing right now!


My gamertag is RatPatrol52

I did the Cee'd rivals mode race once. I only went fast enough to just barely beat Matt. I'm trying to ween myself off of the braking line aid right now so I'll have to see what I can do.

Well, this is the first time in a long time I've been able to get online.

Anywho, I want to Welcome and Thank all those who have joined our little ProTouring group on Forza4.

We're 8 members strong as of today, and from the cars I'm seeing being uploaded to the Group Garage, some pretty good looking cars. Can't wait to test drive a few. :P

GamerTag : Matty40k

Anybody who was thinking of getting this game to help pass the time between race days, or when there's nothing to do on our real race cars... feel free to grab a copy and join us. We have some fun with it.

Jon and I have spent countless hours with Forza3 and now are logging in some good hours on Forza4. We've had some good battles where we've traded 1st place between us countless times only to throw it away at the last corner by just tagging one another and we go spinning off into crashville. Or our favorite, doing a good solid clean lap of Nurburgring only to hit a 'death' curb and having the car go turtle on you. Hilarious and frustrating at the same time. :P

Happy Virtual Racing :)

I dont have the game yet. Do you have to play a bunch to unlock cars or do you get a good selection right away?

Nope, there are a lot of cars already unlocked and ready to use. Although, you will have to play a little to get some money in the game to buy said cars. No worries though, money comes easy and quick when you play. Depending on the difficulty level you put it on, you can get up to 165% of the Money Payout for each race. Higher the difficulty, the more money they throw your way.

And with Affinity in the game, you get parts for cheap and or free if you play with a manufacture long enough. If you get to level 5 Affinity.. which doesn't take long at all, you get parts for free. So with say Chevrolet, you get to level 5 Affinity, your parts are 100% off. Now you can buy any Chevy and upgrade it full tilt for free.

Not only that, but as you level up your Affinity with a manufacture they give you money. Sorta like "Sponsorship" money for being loyal to them. Right now, I've got Chevy at level 16 and each time I level up they throw me $85,000. Not a bad little bonus ontop of the money I gained from the actual race.

See you on the track. ;)

[Yelcamino]

I'm guessing Forza 4 isn't available for the PS3?

[Trevon]

I'm guessing Forza 4 isn't available for the PS3?

Nope, Forza's always been Xbox, Gran Turismo has been Playstation...kind of sucks.

[Motorcitydak]

Do I actually have to do something to load up my cars for you guys to drive? or can you all just go thru what I have and play around? I doubt ill ever be able to race around with you guys online since I live in the boonies and rely on a verizon air card for internet. It can be fast when it wants but usually its just not

[79-TA]

If you're talking about the club garage cars, it doesn't take anything too special. Only cars that you specifically make available for the club can be shared by club members. Otherwise, your cars are private. Once the owner/builder has put them in the club garage, anyone in the club can use them for any race (unless that car is otherwise restricted from competing by class, drivetrain type, etc.) Before starting an event, you can select a car from the general list, your garage, or the club garage.

[Yelcamino]

It does suck. Forza sounds fun. :throw:

[-The Stig-]

Oh, it is way fun.

We're gearing up for our first Club vs. Club match... well, we think we are anyways. Nothing set in stone, but we are going for matching liveries on our cars and going to frieght train our way to victory.

We could always use more people to play with. :)


Although, if you get some what decent and play online with random peoples. Be prepared to get "voted" out of the lobby if you repeatedly win with an old car. haha.. I guess people aren't used to seeing ProTouring cars out handle them. I take it as a compliment. :P
