If I don't end up selling my xbox, this game alone will be the reason. Damn, it's like a work of art.

Agreed. I'm really digging their art direction with the angled info graphics and stuff. Looks sharp.

In. I still play forza 3 on the reg

[Weezy32]

I dont know i think i am getting sick of racers. I played the heck out of Forza 2 (100+ hrs) ... purchased Forza 3 day one and maybe put in like 10-15 hrs before getting bored. Sold it a week later.

Played the new GT game for about 7-10 hrs before getting bored. Seems its always the same thing only improved graphics.

I think what sold me is the Top Gear integration. Without it I probably would've waited til Forza 4 drops in price but I think all of the Top Gear stuff they're including is just going to make it an awesome new experience and it seems like it'll be different from anything we've seen in a racing game before.

[McLarenGTR]

will not be getting because it is on the 360 so i can't use my wheel.

[BTC1556]

I wonder what kind of music they will feature in it. In FM3, the music mirrored the game rather well. The menu music was really sleek, and fit the overall theme of the game. Hope they don't mess it up with this one, but I doubt they will. I've never been disappointed with a Forza game.

[BleachedAnus]

Looks fckin dope, they better have fixed multiplayer though. Will not get if MP is still glitchy as fuk.

looks nice. i was always interested in forzas visual car mod selection, but there is no point playing a racing sim with a controller. it sucks. i wish they made this for PC at least.

[FlamingHomo]

Makes me wish I didn't waste $35 on Gran Turismo 5 last month.

[gswarrior510]

i still play forza 3 at my buddy's house every day

[stefano445]

Can't wait for this game to come out. Definently gonna pre-order the limited edition. I really hope they add a proper ghost (pro) mode so you can't hit each other off the track. It's the most annoying thing to race against idiots who keep knocking you off. The ranking system was pretty bad aswell. I was like 31 and when I played some fun games like cat and mouse and lost my rank would drop so fast because other people in the lobby being 15.

Also, would be so bad if they don't have porsche in it. would make me cry like a baby srs

[Tyler44]

oh god yes.


Will be my goty probably.

this, don't own a 360 and this game (well forza 3 as well) is the only one on that system that i'd like to try. too bad.

I think its fine to play with controller imo.

[Monkey Helmet]

fuuuuuuu





strong detail

[01111000]

Wow, I can't wait for this. I have a Fanatec Turbo S wheel that I've had a lot of fun on. I hope the customization gets even more in depth; I have pretty much an exact replica of my car in the game, including the aftermarket rims.

[Spetsnazos]

I really liked Forza 3 but I couldn't see myself playing it more than 5-6 hours TOTAL. The online play in racers is HORRIBLE. You always get people who crash into you or do something stupid. It is hardly if not impossible to catch up most of the time, if both players know what they're doing. The game looks amazing, the physics is great and everything else is flawless but I just have a feeling its going to be boring after a week.

[Monkey Helmet]

Nice comparison shot.

What’s the status of Porsche in Forza Motorsport 4?
-------------------------------------------------------
This kills me. While Forza Motorsport 4 will feature RUF, it will not include Porsche cars. As many of you know, since the beginning of the Forza franchise, the Porsche license has been available only through a sub-licensing deal with EA. In Forza 3, we were able to feature more than 35 different Porsche models by offering to collaborate with EA. For Forza 4, we were looking forward to adding even more Porsche cars, and we were especially looking forward to featuring multiple Porsche experiences in our new Autovista mode. In the end, however, EA couldn’t see their way towards collaborating again.

We’ve asked our contacts at EA to reconsider their position frequently and regularly over the last 18 months. We also reached out to various influential people in gaming to lobby on our behalf, and on your behalf, but that was to no avail.

In our business, we stay friendly with all of the manufacturers and licensors necessary to deliver players rich and innovative automotive experiences. As you’d expect, this includes quite a few key people in Porsche circles. To make sure we tried everything, we consulted with these advocates and were happy to find they were already aware of the situation and lobbying from within on behalf of Forza 4--and, despite the result, we thank them for their efforts.

While we respect EA’s need to run their business as they see fit, we’ve regularly collaborated in the past and hope we can find our way back to that approach. Forza had the exclusive license for all Ferrari cars, for example, on the Xbox and PC platforms. But at the end of the day, we’ve always found that we just weren’t willing to block other racing games from having Ferraris outright, as we believed that this would do nothing but hurt the racing ecosystem.

I’m very sorry for all of this. Fans shouldn’t have to think about any of this – you should just be able to drive Porsches and Ferraris in the games you love. Porsche makes wonderful cars and I’m sorry that we won’t have them in Forza 4. As I mentioned earlier, we have added three RUF cars in Forza 4. RUF is a manufacturer in their own right, not simply an aftermarket mod shop—they completely remanufacture and enhance the models that they start from, and the results are unique, incredibly fast, and the cars look great. Losing more than 35 Porsche models is a lost opportunity for Porsche fans (as well as a lost opportunity to make future Porsche fans), but I hope that Forza 4 players understand and enjoy the new makes and models that have taken their place.
