Forza 4
 

Just finish playing the demo. Impressions, not so great. But not bad. Cars have some weight to them now which feels better.

my Rival times (no aids)
1. 1.46:38
2. 1:40:22
3. 1:30:10

Anyone else have a go at it?

I played it a bit last night, thought it was amazing. Much bigger improvement from Forza 3 in terms of car feeling and graphics than I was expecting. The simulation steering makes a huge difference. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the "driving in traffic" mode. It feels a bit too much like need for speed. I'm hoping the full game has something like an ALMS mode though where you race with different classes of cars on the track at once.

i've got forza 4 on special edition pre-order, didn't know that a demo was out, i'll probably play it tonight

i have not played the demo but can anyone compare it to gt5 for me?

GT: silvervalkyrie (add me if you'd like)

I played it yesterday for a short bit with just ABS on and did alright. I have to admit that the cars seem more weighted and the drivetrain differences are more noticeable. Definitely an improvement over the already amazing Forza 3.

I pre-ordered the LCE and can't wait to use the GT4.

Had a quick go at the demo, that M5 is fun. :thumbup:

I will be getting it since they got clarkson to do the autovista thingy.

That vid makes me teary eyed every time I see it....

Anyways, I ran through the demo briefly yesterday. So far, I like it better than Forza 3. Though, my TV is still an ancient CRT unit, so I can't actually read the tiny text they like to use to make out any of the times.

Ok I have to vent about this. Whoever had the idea for this traffic mode should have their balls chopped off. It is the most frustrating thing I have ever experienced. There's nothing like a perfectly good lap ruined because you get boxed out by some Kias, or having the "rival" car you're following magically turn invisible and go straight through an R8 going 40mph which you have no choice but to ram into.

GT: TDE LilDev1ant

I was an avid F3 player, have F4 LCE preordered. Feel free to add me, I accept everyone. :)

has anyone got a kinect? how does the head turning thing go?

Unfortunately there's no Kinect support in the demo. I know, I really wanted to try it. :(

I'm loving it. Best in the consoles sims imo by far. I love the rivals mode, and I actually kinda like the traffic too even though it irritates the shit out of me at times.

I'd be surprised if they didn't have an ALMS type race with multiple classes on the track at once. Forza 3 did it too.

Looking forward to next Tuesday. :D

So I got the game yesterday and it is fantastic. I'm in love despite the learning curve with this new physics/tire modeling engine on simulation handling.

I highly recommend you pick this up if you own a 360.

I got it too and I love it!! I hate the slow cars you have to start of with but that's just like the last one .

woww fantastic post!

in Italy FM4 exit friday!

I will just write the times that I did in the demo

I played the Rival mode in the demo and as impressed as I was with the graphics/physics and layout, I was dismayed by the traffic...I was bitching to my wife about how every lap at least half of the corners are ruined because there is a slower car at turn in, apex, and/or track out...managed to do some decently quick, clean laps, but am perplexed how the top players got clean laps as fast as they did...just doesn't seem possible. :iono:

The Rival is a Ghost...and is a replay of their best lap...so that pesky R8 the ghost is passing through on your lap wasn't there on their lap...You are supposed to beat the Rival, not follow them or their line. And you do have a choice...look farther ahead, see the pokey car and plan accordingly...just like in real life.
=======================

I bought a new XBOX to play this on, since my previous unit was a 1G, pre-HDMI and incompatible with Kinect...plus it would freeze after 10 minutes of gameplay...so yesterday my new XBOX and FM4 LCE came and I only had about an hour to get it all setup, my FM3 data transferred, install FM4, DL all the updates and enter the LCE codes and DL that content...I was left with about 20 minutes of actual playtime.

After all that was done, I managed to play the first five races in the Career Mode and have to say that I like it much more than FM3. The physics are more realistic (especially with the Simulation steering mode--cars are downright twitchy, especially on the "stock" tires) and I think I do like the realism more on this than I do on GT5 (I am basically finished with GT5 [I still need to DL 2.0] and only play when new Seasonal Events are available). I am not sure I care or understand the "Corner," "Pass," or "Drift" awards are for though.

I'll be spending tonight in the Rivals Autocross section with some members of a racing board I am on...should be interesting.

XBOX GT: jsinpa
PS3 GT: oneday_js (Or is it "oneday js"? I can't remember if Sony allows the underscore or a space...only one way is allowed though, so you'll figure it out pretty quickly.)

anybody got an ft86 club club yet?

Not yet, I think you should go ahead and start one.

I'm waiting to see if the other board I'm a member of (6gc.net) will be starting one.

TenFour. Anybody got ideas on what the clubs name and tag. I tried ft86club [ft86] this morning but the tag "[ft86]" is already taken.

If anyone wants to add me to race, gamertag is the same as username. Also, head tracking via Kinect is wonderful.

Also, I figured at least someone here would like this photo I took. :D

I suggest [FRS] or [F86C]. My brother's club took FT86 yesterday apparently. :bonk:

the clubs up, i guess you can find me on there and join. my gamertag is my username [<------]

One more thing Electronic Arts is a bunch of fucking assholes for not letting F4 get the Porsches.

it's got 3 ruf 911's to make up for it though

Yeah but I like the cayman S and the GT3.

I personally would love to have one of these

Hell yeah!!! Me too.

Any pics of FT86?

nope, it's not in there, unfortunately... it's the first thing i looked for in the game. They are doing car packs every month though, so when it's officially announced, i expect they will release it inagme

K, thanks. I remember someone posted that FT86 gonna be one of ultimate car pack (or something like that), so just checking

Hmm... should I get this game?! SHOULD I?!?!

Edit: Nvm. xbox :<

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

short answer... YES, and join our club, ft86club[f86c]. Its the ultimate free range semi realistic car automotive enjoyment game

That requires me to purchase an Xbox. And pay for internet when I already have it. QQ :(

That's why I love PS3. Free online

*cough* network outages *cough**cough* ya get what ya pay for
