Not sure what it is or if it's dangerous but I've only done it once and I thought Sesame Street was downstairs.

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.

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.
the speed of the cars were perfect, it seems like they are going down the gran turismo road, where you could go 240 mph on the mulsanne in an audi r8

he said the speed effect - ie the sense of speed, not the actual speed the cars will be going ;)

Yep thats what they are talking about. They added a little camera shake and going faster will cause alittle blur to up the sense of speed.

Awesome! That post sort of renewed my excitement for the game. I hope that the prototype and GT2 DLC comes very soon. I also like the sense of speed bit, as that is one thing that I though that NFS shift got right. When you are driving you are never perfectly still like in fm3.

@ toad: the entire career and multiplayer is based on racing for a reason. Even though it may appear so, the didn't create the game with the sole purpose of joyriding around your favorite track in your favorite car.. Sure you can do that, but the game is meant for you to be going faster than your competitors. If it wasn't they would have replaced career mode and multiplayer with free drive. But they didn't therefore the main, base point of the game is racing. There really is no other way to put it :)

You're all wrong about "speed effect"... The guy obviously don't know why it is like that either...

Simple... The default Field Of View (FOV) in Forza 3 is something like 50, in Forza 4 it looks like it is 90+... Thus why it seems like you go faster...

I mean, just look at how streched out the videos are... Some corners look like kinks !

I wouldn't pay $60.00 more to have the separate shifter though, I would make it with the paddles !

Actually it's 250$ for the wheel only... 60$ for the CSR shifter (or 30$ for the standard shifter set, both have the h-pattern and sequential)

For the pedals it is 150$ (The Elite ones)

Standard CSR pedals are not out yet... And you can also have cheap Porsche pedals for 30$, all plastic (Although you still have 3 pedals)

So guys, buy wheels ! I don't want to see any jerky lane changes anymore ! :P

Are suggesting that without those DLC's I would not have had a 'proper' 4th season?

Well, I guess I'm just a bit defensive after the fuss everybody has been making. Sorry...
