Dear Forza-Age,
I know It must be annoying for you to have me in this thread.
I'm always complaining, never happy or impressed, always pointing out your horrible, horrible taste in cars (yes, Porsche and Pagani are boring manufacturers, yes the BMW on the CE cover is hideous), but in the end, we all share the same passion.
Cars.
Cars make us happy. Big cars, small cars, sport cars, station wagons, SUVs, hatchbacks, Ferrari, Saab, Mercedes, Toyota, Holden, Fiat, Renault, it doesn't matter. They inspire us and all of them are special, in one way or another.
Why am I writing this? No, it's not because I'm really awesome, but because I'd like to bring this thread to your attention.

I know some of you already know it and I know that thread is a bit older, but it would be such a waste to let this wonderful thread die and I'm sure you agree with me.
Share your passion with the rest of GAF, Forza-Age.
Sincerely,
your cookie-cutter motherfucker

FM4's worst-kept secret confirmed :lol..!
I hope it wasn't a toss-up between this one and Spa though. I really can't see Hockenheim's apppeal after beasting it in Shift 2.

That's just incredible. I could listen to Clarkson's voiceover stuff for hours. All the details are spot on and I love their design concept with all the angular pop up info. Everything is just extremely well done. Turn 10 is killing it.

And to think that these bastards will more than likely keep adding dlc autovista cars.. Shit will be magical man I can't fucking wait.HawksWinStanley said:
This shit will be a tribute to clarkson by the time he passes away, if they keep the TG partnership going to FM5 it'll be mind-blowing to see how they improve from this.

Autovista is definitely one of the biggest draws of the game for me. I'm going to lose hours upon hours exploring these cars.
Seeing a Zonda in all its million-poly AV glory will cause me to violently empty my bowels.

Well, there's three points on the map posted earlier in the Germany/Benelux region. One is for Hockenheimring, one is for Nürburgring so it remains to be seen what is the third one (would be dumb to separate the Nordschleife and GP tracks on the map, no ?).
BTW, over at Forza Central :

For those unaware, Sonoma is the town in which Infineon Raceway/Sears Point is located :
I'm very happy to see the classic BMW's making a comeback for FM4.
But, with all these car lists flying around of potential cars being in FM4, of all those hints from B among other things, the lack of any mention,any indication of classic Australian cars making a debut for FM4 has me very,very,very worried....
I swear, if our vehicles don't show up in this iteration, i'm going to go all M24 sniper from clock tower ape ahit!
It has been 14 years since GT1 and 6 years since FM1 and still we have nothing.....!
Help me Turn 10,help me before I turn into this..

How many vehicles will be explorable via Autovista in the final game?
ilkercruiser said:
The only thing we know for certain is that it won't be every vehicle. Most likely, it will be the heavy hitters/supercars and other cars with a rich history/backstory.
Also, for Automotive-GAF that hasn't ventured over into the F1 thread... Sky HD to take over F1 rights from the BBC in a convoluted deal that sees Sky get every practice/Quali and race while the Beeb gets a handful of race only and summary shows. :/
What a crap thing to wake up to.

Thanks, now I look silly!ShapeGSX said:
Maybe the newer cars physics will look good, but the Mosler just seems to be lacking something. Gt5 and shift do undulation bumps quite well though.
Surely the Mosler would be bouncing all over the place on the test track as most other cars on there exhibit some bounce and some 'edge of control' moments IRL.

McLaren F1

Ferrari 458 Italia
Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa
Ferrari California
Lexus LFA
McLaren Mercedes-Benz SLR
Peugeot 908 HDi FAP
Ford GT
Lamborghini LP670-4 SV
Lamborghini Reventon
Aston Martin One-77
Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85
Bugatti Veyron
Koenigsegg CCX
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Gumpert Apollo S
Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster
Ferrari F40
TVR Sagaris
BMW M5 F10
These are the known Autovista cars so far.
I hope we'll see more cars from other continents in the Autovista car list. Things like the AC 427, the Daytona Coupé, the original Viper, the modern Viper ACR, the S7, the NSX, the GT-R, the Furai, the HKS Lancer, the GT-One, Super GT cars, NASCAR cars, V8 Supercars could easily qualify for Autovista treatment in my books.

I've been watching all the vids and playing fm3 quite a lot and I'll tell you what's going on in those bowling videos.
When you play Forza with a controller cars won't look the way they should in replays, especially with steering assist enabled (which, to a degree, is necessary when not using a 900° wheel).
Assists will always make cars look like they're being dragged across the road by some magnetic field; drifting and using handbrake may look as bad as Ridge Racer at times.
This only happens when using a controller, though; a controller allows for sudden direction changes which shouldn't happen in real life; even when using analogs you sometimes have to 'tap' the stick, which in real life would be the same as turning the wheel lock to lock in a fraction of second.
If the game were to visually simulate this you'd see the car jerking around a lot, Forza 'solves' this by just toning body roll down a lot for quick controller inputs.
I know other games solved the problem (at least visually) in a way that looks much more believable, but i am willing to bet that turning all assists off and using a wheel you will see none of those issues with the physics.
Just take a look at how different cars look in fm3 when using a wheel (or when the AI drives them) versus using a controller. And body roll is certainly improved over fm3, although maybe still too little.
Other than that; i really really liked what i saw. Lighting on that Ford in ISR bowling video looked spot on, the interiors are clearly visible now and it's a lot harder to tell menu models from ingame ones at least in these vids. The official video with the mosler looks and sounds amazing, too bad the car itself is probably one of the ugliest vehicles ever
Autovista is unbelievable and i really liked how they even mimicked Top Gear shooting and editing style with extremely quick pans and mere frames long cuts on details. I hope Microsoft isn't even thinking of changing Clarkson voice for localized versions. Subtitles only, thanks.
Edit: Already in love with the menu amd autovista music from that isr video

I honestly don't know how I am going to last the wait until release.
The only thing left to truly hope for is greatly increased track variety. I'd be happy with five or six new tracks that have multiple iterations. Also, any DLC tracks need to be incorporated into the career mode.

Visit GamesCom, play FM4!
I know I'll do it.
FunnyBunny said:
The demo (on Bernese Alps, probably) should help.
There will be a demo, right? RIGHT?
FunnyBunny said:
I believe we probably already know about all the new tracks that ship with the game, all five of them probably (as per the leaked video). Spa and Bathurst, although probably already finished, will probably come as DLC two months and four months after release for unlubricated wallet-rapage. Probably.
