Hope so, I can't think of any major improvements that would work within the limits of the engine and not compromise the frame rate. I really don't want Forza 5 on the 360.

[saladine1]

Of course (well, not always the case but you'd hope it is). Still, what else can this 'New Engine' do which the current engine can't ? Talking of new tech, are we even sure F5 is going to be on the 7208InfinityLoop or whatever?

I have absolutely no doubt that FM 5 will be a 720 game and not a 360.
We'll have Forza Horizon at the end of this year, next gen console announcement at E3 '13 with a FM 5 feature from Turn 10's Dan 'Beard' Greenawalt, a few months of certain hype and teasing of the game, then a release as a launch title to go with the new console at the end of 2013....

I hope that prediction is correct I really do, but if the 720 whatever gets pushed back ever so slightly (or is indeed scheduled for a 2014 release) then it could mean Forza 5 being a 360 title, which I'm sure nobody wants. I can't wait to see next gen Forza.

Going back ever so slightly, is there anymore information on what exactly Forza Horizon is yet or are we still awaiting E3 :(

[Xanadu]

That is an engine specific problem. It can't display different rim forms only different rim sizes. That's why also pretty much every car in FM has inaccurate looking rims. They either have to model the front rim and put them also on the rear in the same or a different size, or vice versa. A new engine will not have those limitations anymore.

cool, do you know if t10 will go back and remodel all inaccurate forza 1 models (f40, s200)

No they wont.

[drugstore_cowboy]

They should do though, it's some janky old shit.

[Shaneus]

Ugh, that fucking 22B model. Pretty sure it's the same (or similar) to the one in PGR4. Looks like arse.

Finally, I can live out my dream of being Jake Ryan!

I gotta watch that movie. I loved Breakfast club.

[Seanspeed]

2012 Porsche Cayman R

I would complain about getting this over some of the other choices, but honestly, I think the Cayman is my favorite car Porsche make right now, so I'm pretty happy about this. I bet it'll be pretty good online, too, along with the base Cayman(or was it S, I dont remember?), many of the 911's and hopefully a few more.

[OrangeOak]

I would love to see this Porsche GT3 R Hybrid in Forza 4 but I know that chances are really slim :(

2003 Porsche Carrera GT

Must be the angle, but the side vent looks way too flat.

its not the angle, just another inaccurate forza 1 model

2003 Porsche Carrera GT

The sound will be glorious.

2003 Porsche Carrera GT

brb gotta fap

Can't wait to hear it; definitely one of the all-time great supercar engines.

Must be the angle, but the side vent looks way too flat.

Weirdly, I don't remember it looking like that in FM3.

[G Rom]

Oh yeah, if there's one car that I can't wait to hear again, it's the Carrera GT, DAT V10 !



Also, that rear spoiler will finally move. :)

[saladine1]

The thing that I love about the GT is that it has a proper fucking gearbox and not that paddle shifting shit. A true supercar that you drive and not the other way around.

it still has traction control and other driving aids, a real supercar is a car like the mclaren f1

[Spaceman Spiff]

Those driver's aids are mandatory by law nowadays, and probably a wise addition regardless given the driving ability, or lack thereof, of the people who buy these things.

I can live with the tc and whatever else, but it's the control over gears and clutch is what i'm referring to.
Grabbing third gear, clutch in, hold, rev, shift gear,clutch out, accelerate....grab second gear, clutch in, blip that shit, shift into second, overrun,pops and crackles.....rinse and repeat......heavenly.

#forza4 #porsche This whale-tail turbo moves. The 1982 @Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 Let it spool up in Forza 4.

I LOVE the whale tail Porsches and this car is no exception. This was what one of the original Midnight Club leaders drove back in the day.

[shinnn]

[CrudeDiatribe]

Oh my.

I had one of those in FM3, 2600lbs and race turbos. B500. Wonderful. Had it in black, like the villains in Condorman.

Holy shit, I thought I was one of the only people who had seen that movie! I was just trying to explain it to the girl last month and now I am on a mission to grab it in DVD.

I'm going to have mine in black like the one in Wangan Midnight.

I suppose the RUF CTR Yellowbird isn't happening now...

[SarBear]

I'm watching Shortt on PassTime right now. Funny stuff! LOL

[H3rTz DoNuT]

I wanted to show you my next paint guys, but I'm not sure if I can, still waiting for Jube to respond :D

Anyway, I thought that some of you might be short on credits and with Porsche pack coming soon you might need an extra shot of credits.

So here is what you gonna do to get that shot of credits. First 10 people that will send me a private message with "Funny Money" as a title and with their gamertag as a messege will get 10 mil credits each.

When I get 10 messages I'll send you a message on xbox live what to do next ;)

Cheers, HD

PM sent, and friend request on Xbox Live sent.

[twinturbo2]

I checked the turn 10 site, and of the announced Porsches, only three are new to the series- the 2011 Flying Lizard and Black Swan racers, and the 2011 Cayenne Turbo.

So, there's still four new cars to be revealed. The 917, 918 RSR and 2012 911 S should be three of them, hopefully.

if they still care about their core fans then we should be fine

[twinturbo2]

Hopefully, the remaining four new cars are the 917, 918 (RSR or Spyder, either one is fine), 2012 911 S and either the 2011 GT3 RS 4.0 or the new 2013 Boxster S.

Then add both versions of the 911 GT1 from Forza 3 and everything will be gravy.

[H3rTz DoNuT]

3 more spots left guys. Whoever sent me a message so far, have a message on xbox live with instructions ;)

[Shortt Sirket]

I'm watching Shortt on PassTime right now. Funny stuff! LOL

Surprised you remembered. I haven't been able to see it yet but I dunno if I will even be able to watch it. I hate seeing/hearing myself on video so I have yet to see the show.

How bad was it? lol

[H3rTz DoNuT]

All gone now, will do another 100 mil on the weekend ;)

You looked so fucking nonchalant and badass. At one point I thought you were gonna start scrappin' from the short jokes! You were pretty spot on with your guesses, though! That CobraJet was INSANE!!!! Oh my GAWD!

Dat M3. Dude, I think you came on national television. It was that easy to see! LOL It sounded AMAZING, though. I can only imagine what it sounded like in person.

[Klocker]

That would be a much better price point. I can see a lot of fence-sitters biting at 1200.

yep it just went from maybe at 1600 but more likely when it goes on sale to... Day 1. (if true)

[Mascot]

I'm watching Shortt on PassTime right now. Funny stuff! LOL

Link for lols?

Also, I just started a rumour that Porsche trackside billboards will be patched into FM4 as part of the pack launch. Do you think there's any truth in it?

[G Rom]

Damn, missed the 10M giveaway. Doing it during impossible hours for Europeans, you really could work at Turn 10, H3rtz. :lol

I think it's a mistake on Turn 10's part.
Also, forget the 917 and I think the 918 can pretty much be forgotten as well. Looks like EA want us to buy "The shit run" to drive it...
If the 991 isn't in the game, well you can bet EA vetoed it as well because I don't see any reason for Turn 10 not to include it.

[Mascot]

June, July and August car packs say "I love you, Honeybunny. Alright, everybody be cool. This is a robbery!"

[Shaneus]

Damn, missed the 10M giveaway. Doing it during impossible hours for Europeans, you really could work at Turn 10, H3rtz. :lol

And Australia ;) Yeah, it does suck that a hell of a lot of the Race w/ Devs and giveaways and such are all US-centric (much like the car selection in the game, sadly :/ ).

Also, I've never heard of this "Condorman"... but I'm hunting it out now.


Now, what are the chances of Porsches being in further packs? Decent, or buckley's?

[Gor@n]

The compression on the shots are a pain, give me some home-space shots. Fingers crossed for a GT2RS, 356, 928 or maybe a Turbo S, though in the end i'll still be happy with Porsche back.

[evil_as_skeletor]

Just used my hard earned to purchase the May pack. Holy Christ this Hennessey thing is a death machine. All assists off, I could barely make it around Indy without tasting steel Armco...

What's the story with this thing? Is it based on a Lotus Elise?
