Car Clubs coming back (seriously, some of you jumping in on F2/3 are really missing out) is the best news from that trailer.

Now bring Point-to-Point and I'd really consider getting a 360 for Forza 4, almost.

Forza 3 had point to point races.

 

[brentech]

Yikes, the writer of that article at the bottom answering if the game will be in 720/1080p.

THAT I don't know. I'm assuming it's whatever the standard for Xbox 360 is.

That's not the kind of journalist experience to trust your info from. I'll hold tight for some info from someone that's actually played games recently.

 

[RSTEIN]

cant say i'll miss either. both are nice for visual variety, but man oh man do i hate night racing and racing in the wet stuff.

As a simulator/racing game Forza 4 SHOULD have rain/night time racing. It's the last big checkmark they have to tick. Against GT5/Project Gotham/etc. it's a pretty glaring ommission. I personally hate night time/rain driving so I don't really care.

 

[saladine1]

Amazing graphics,absolutely amazing!
JC taking you through each car in Auto whatever mode is making me hard,very hard...wanna see?

FM4 is going to be epic you sons o beeches...epic I tellz ya!!

 

[G Rom]

Ok, updated the OP with the Jalopnik bit and the official screens !
The interiors and engine shots are from the Enzo Ferrari and the 250 TR !

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

When I saw that Zonda dash I fucking came.

This. Day 1 T10

Still bummed out that theres no announcement for my G27 Wheel, but whatever. Loves me some Forza.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Alot more coming in a bit!

 

[Barack Lesnar]

This game looks stunning. Looks like quite an improvement over FM3.

 

[enzo_gt]

It was in one of the DLC packs.

Looks like they finally fixed the Ferrari Enzo's nose. I wonder if any other modeling errors were corrected.

Yup I noticed a bit of this as well.

Also, I have a new avatar ready for when avatars go back online :3

as a feature to check off, it should have it. i thought i'd want it, but shift 2 taught me otherwise.

 

[saladine1]

I'll make love to that steering wheel all night long...all night long...all night..

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

A new street-legal Zonda is the single best piece of news so far for me, and that's only a slight exaggeration. Hopefully there are more in addition to the Cinque Roadster, but I don't want to get greedy.

 

[bloodforge]

They're obviously not going to be using the one million polygon cars for gameplay. Those are probably only for the showroom stuff with one car on screen at a time and photo mode.

 

[mclaren777]

I was just looking over IGN's list of game showcases and I noticed that FM4 isn't mentioned.

Does anyone know if there will be an in-depth look at this game during E3?

Turn 10 wants definitive Rain/weather/tod mechanics....

 

[skyfinch]

Damn!


Personally don't care for either night or rain, but I know there are those who do, so would hate to see them leave these out. Night on Le mans would be nice, though.

Nice to see the driver with a different helmet. Just like the gloves, the helmet was so ugly in FM3.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

all it needs now is logitech support.

Some gameplay screenshots :

Clearly more movement in cockpit view !

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

forza pron compilation

dat detail *fap fap fap*

 

[Metalmurphy]

Clearly more movement in cockpit view !

Too much for it to be g-forces and weight transfer, it's most likely the kinnect feature.

 

[Slayer-33]

Holy shit

 

[Cyberia]

Now release some real gameplay.

 

[rocksteady1983]

Graphics look top notch. Too bad taking pictures of the highest poly models in photomode will just be compressed to hell like Forza 3. Hope thats not the case.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

That alpine track looks fucking sublime.

 

[Mobius 1]

Nice shots, glad to see actual screens and no bullshots.

Now they just need to let me preorder the collectors edition.

 

[amar212]

Actual screens, thank you Jube, I know it's your influence.

 

[Slayer-33]

That first pic g rom

That's ridiculous for a racing game, what the fuck.

 

[G Rom]

Too much for it to be g-forces and weight transfer, it's most likely the kinnect feature.

No, no, when I mean more movement, I mean more movement. The camera has a Shift-like tilt at high speed, I'm seeing it in the B-roll movie.

 

[samoset]

Did they announce a new official racing wheel since the old one has been discontinued?

 

[Metalmurphy]

Those shots have terrible compression. We need better ones STAT!

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Its ironic how a third party game like MW3 had more airtime than an MGS developed game like Forza 4.

I felt bad for Dan Greenawalt. He had a lot of new things to show but was demoted to a minute and a half trailer

 

[benzy]

16 cars * 1 million polygons = 16 millions of polygons per frame
at 60FPS = 960 million polygons per second!!

Turn 10 sure are wizards

Spoiler

of the bullshit, lol

I hope they show new modes and features of the GAMEPLAY. I already have a car game to look at and marvel.

Pretty sure it's going to be just 1 million polygons for the garage/phototravel mode. In-game car polys won't reach anywhere near that high. It's the same bullshit they fed us before. I recall reading "Forza 3 had 10x the polys of Forza 2 cars" for nearly ever PR speech.

[Slayer-33]

And yeah HORRIBLE compression that shit looks fucking beautiful still..

4 hour event for FM4 tomorrow.

 

[paskowitz]

The cockpit view shots are a better representation of what we will actually see in game, however, the textures are very very good. Honestly, graphics have been my biggest problem with FM. They look good, just not real... now they look real. A much needed shift.

In similarities to GT are obvious, but to be honest, visually that is not something that is tied to one game, it just makes the game better.

 

[derFeef]

4 hour event for FM4 tomorrow.

*faints*

 

[saladine1]

The official forums are getting a major overhaul with some 'surprises' amongst the new format.
They'll release some more pics and info very soon i'm sure.

 

[brotkasten]

No weather or night racing, right?

[-MikePriester-]

Thanks for all your effort G Rom.

Forza 4 looks amazing!

Any idea when this will be made available to us mere peasants?

 

[Slayer-33]

I can't wait to see what they did with the car customization in the game holy fuck, fuck.

 

[Metalmurphy]

What's a "B-roll" movie?

 

[saladine1]

Fuck,October is so far away!!
I'm going into a self induced coma set to wake up on release day!

 

[G Rom]

BTW, the small dots on the HUD that we saw in the Kinect video the other day seem to be what I speculated, some kind of Shift-like points for drafting, taking turns, etc...

 

[saladine1]

I can't wait to see what they did with the car customization in the game holy fuck, fuck.

Slayer you mofo, are you excite?
