My point is we shouldn't have to pay extra money on top of the already costly price for extra cars we should already have...
That is due to car development/modeling time, if they wait until they have all current cars done this will come out only in 2013 !!!

how about trying to focus on positive things (rare as they may seem) instead? How exactly will this motivate James and everyone else to continue to put so much effort into the series, when all he sees is people crying about it?
Yeah I know we should be trying to focus on positives for FM4, but when you are going from F1 2011 and then looking at FM4 it just saddens me, Weather, tyre wear, fuel use, a little bit of dynamic day night (not really because of the lights but there are hints, 16 player lobbies, all from a game that is only 2 years old, I know they only have to model 12 cars but car count doesn't effect performance, it has bugs, in some ways the physics is worse then FM3 but in others it is better!

I just wish FM4 had at least 1 other thing that made any change to the racing, 16 player lobbies is the only thing I'm exited about but I'm no longer holding my breath for it because it will probably just lag a lot!

F1 2011 = Racing Game
FM4 = Car game <--- Dan says it himself!!! Fm5 will just be giant photo gallery!
F1 2011 is fantastic.

Despite the fact there is no Bruno :'(

I would just like to put this out there. Seems like a lot of people are not excited for the game due to the lack of race cars, which i completely understand due to this being a racing series. But cant you at least be excited for Forza 4 in general. No where have I read that Forza has ever been marketed as a racing game.

It is just a title. I dont think I have watched any commercial in which they claim to be the premier racing sim out there. No, have you? Im getting it and I fully anticipate a great 2012 season for the FLMS.

I agree with Toad though I can't wait for this game but maybe its because I'm not that big on ALMS racing in general or what every. Would i be nice yeah but there is no other game short of PC mods that has ALMS or LMS in it at any capacity. GT5 didn't have any, rFactor has mods, and iRacing has multi-class racing but only two types of cars per race.

Personnally I would have selected different cars. There are a lot of Ferrari's? And I would have said the F40 was an obvious Ferrari choice? Considering it is often quoted as the all time best supercar and has some really interesting features, even the paint!

But I would have put in some of the Audi LM cars over the Pug too? I mean surely the R10, first diesel to win at LM... And the Toyota GT-One that redefined sportscar racing?

Obviously those are just race cars, but I kinda think there may have been money and licences involved with autovista...

Personally, however, I am actually a fan of it, I wouldn't say its high on my priority list, but it does add to the game as a whole. I'm interested in looking around some of them :)

Sorry to bring this up again toad, but why would they put race tracks in this game if we were not meant to race on them. The basis of this game is racing, racing is the gameplay part, everything else is built around it. For example you could have forza without the paint shop, or the auto vista, but we could not have a forza without the racing. Therefore it is a RACING game

Was just comparing the P1s from FM3 to FM4. Interesting...


FM3

Speed // Handling // Acceleration // Launch // Braking

R15.....R1 983 - 8.2 // 8.9 // 9.1 // 7.9 // 8.8
908.....R1 994 - 7.8 // 9.0 // 9.5 // 8.3 // 9.0
02a.....R1 984 - 7.4 // 9.2 // 9.0 // 7.6 // 9.2
Aston..R1 976 - 8.5 // 8.7 // 9.0 // 7.8 // 8.6


FM4

Speed // Handling // Acceleration // Launch // Braking

R15.....R1 995 - 9.3 // 9.8 // 9.8 // 8.7 // 9.7
908.....R1 998 - 9.3 // 9.8 // 10 // 8.9 // 9.8
02a.....R1 990 - 9.2 // 10 // 9.5 // 8.2 // 10
Aston..R1 989 - 9.2 // 9.9 // 9.8 // 8.7 // 9.8
??? the arx was the slowest car in a straight line out of all 4 cars, but now its two notches off o.O
i dont like where this is going
Do It now!!!!! BWAAH!!!!

ummm. News I think.

Some on the Forza VIP's from the Forza forums have a advance copy of the game and one has posted his experience and it seems that their is one more real track to reveal that he can't talk about.

From DB9D9

Quote:
 
The speed effect seems quite a bit faster than FM3. It is true that you are rewarded for your FM3 accomplishments and you are able to import ALL of your vinyl groups. The graphics look much better than FM3 and the driving physics feel great, IMO it feels more realistic. I've seen a little bit of frame rate slow down when there are like 12 cars in the camera shot but nothing too bad. There is also a steering setting under difficulty, with it set to simulation the car handling is very realistic. It's easy to snap spin the car if you are not carefull. My only gripe is the braking feel which seems to require a bit more modulation than I'm used to in order to keep from locking up the wheels, even with ABS on. I think I recieved 60,000cr for FM3 accomplishments plus a load of free cars (nice). Sadly there are no Porsches but we do have RUF which is cool.
So far I've been peddling around in career mode trying to make some money. I'm really loving the handling/physics, definately the most convincing of any driving game I've ever played. Driving with the steering set on simulation is amazing. Excellent stuff. One nice surprise was the inclusion of a certain real life track I wasn't expecting. Hopefully we can expect one or two more DLC tracks later.

Other details I've noted.

*The cars backfire and flame out.

*The sound is improved. Great tire noises give some aural feedback as to how close to the traction limit you are.

*Camera settings in photo mode are pretty much the same but the game has a completely different look which may require new settings.

*Looks like upgrade and tuning options are basically the same but don't have enough cash yet to fully test this theory.

*You will be able to buy in-game money with Microsoft Points. You basically buy tokens that are worth a certain amount of game credits. Doesn't look like this feature is live yet though.
*Also, all of the old tracks have been updated and have a completely different look to what your used to. All of the real world tracks I've seen so far look like they have been updated to current specs. Nice, also you can race at different times of day on individual tracks which adds some nice variety.


A little bit about painting


I played quite a while last night. Spent a good amount of time in the paint booth transfering my 908 livery which is the hardest livery I could've chosen but I thought I'd just jump in the deep end. Here are some notes I took.

*Lighting in the paintbooth is awesome. You can finally see the rear of the car clearly.

*There are two pages of new community submitted vinyl shapes as well as all the old shapes.

*No new fonts and mostly the same manufacturer decals.

*Unexpectedly, old vinyls that looked jaggedy in FM3 are sharp and clean in the new game.

*One thing I was dissappointed about is that metalic paint shows thru vinyl layers worse than ever. This means I had to radically alter my 908 replica which used metalic base in FM3.

*I was also able to get my old camera settings to work in the new game surprisingly.

*Storefronts work the same as in FM3, still 18 slots for designs.

It's not perfect so don't expect that although I do believe Turn10 has owned Polyphony Digital this time. Well done lads.


Take it with a grain of salt it could be that he never kept up with the game so it was a surprise that Indy or Infinion was in the game

EDIT:

New info the insider Badned has confirmed Prototype and GT2 DLC.

EDIT 2:

He has also confirmed RUF's in DLC since they got the license in late and didn't have time to model everything they wanted to.

This is exactly what I'm expecting, I couldn't believe the association with ALMS would leave us with only 2-5 years old race cars !!!
