Race Pro 09 came to xbox 360 and is the best racing game on consoles, I agree, but it is miles away from Race 07 which is where it spawned from.

So I gave my reason as to why these sims are not on console. You pointed out that Race 07 destroys Race Pro 09 (which it does). So, my question to you is, why do YOU think these sims don't come to console, and why do you think that Race 07 was so much better than Race Pro 09. I mean, I know WHY it's better..because it's a better game, but WHY did SIMBIN release Race Pro 09 on console, and so gutted with pretty horrible graphics?


Edit: NVM, we are veering too far off topic. THIS IS MY THREAD...we need to talk Forza 4 demo.

Remember, a week from today, this thread will be dead and will have a new RETAIL release thread to discuss this in.

Cool, mmm, I really liked the idea of racing in traffic on Rivals Mode, while it is nothing new, it was very well implemented. I also like a lot the little video clip that shows the cockpit a little before the countdown, I wish the actual gameplay graphics were like that... Guess maybe in a couple of console generations...

I would have liked it better if it were actually 2 people head to head at the same exact time so we are dealing with the same exact traffic scenario. Just seems too much like it's the luck of the draw as to how the traffic lays out sometimes. Otherwise the Zonda event is more for me.

Ya, it seems there is something that you can do to even remove the traffic from rivals mode....

Which the Turn 10 staff is now aware of because I told them.

I just hope they patch it prior to release otherwise there is no use competing against the top leader board positions.

I'd have stopped dragged him out of his car and asked him what the he'll is going on with the steering assist :dopey:

In FM3, most (if not all) AI names you see online are names from the Turn10 team. And Dan Beardawalt is one of 'em.
 
Everyone that is getting super critical of the Forza 4 Demo. Go play Atari's "Night Driver" or "Pole Position" (I used to pump so many quarters into those games) and think about how far we have come. The combination of flat screen HDTV's and these awesome race games that we get to play at home is just so cool. I think Forza 4 is AWESOME!!!

We're not doubting it's awesome, we just want the steering assist fixed.
 
Yeah Mike... The demo is awesome. I'm gonna go do laps around my neighborhood in my 1999 Ford Taurus. That way I can stop freakin out about the steering assist issue and take out a few mailboxes while I'm at it.
 
MikeK
Good grief, steering assists/no steering assists, does anyone have impressions about the demo beyond that? Damn.

I agree, let's move on. Maybe open up a separate post so we can catch up on other details of the demo without wading through post after post on streering assist :crazy:

All I can say is the steering/handling of the cars in this demo sure doesn't "assist" me much - I have the scars to prove it :)

For someone who wants this thread to quickly dismiss the steering assist you sure did bring it up again quite fast...in fact immediately.

Members can talk about whatever they want to. Since the assist is a hot topic right now do not expect it to go away just because you want it to.

Other details of the demo have been discussed since some of us got the early release on Friday. And since there is only 5 cars and 1 track what is really left to discuss?

Regardless, if you don't want to read about the steering assist... then don't. Scroll past it.

I agree with you, hopefully on the final version we'll see that. 👍
 
Just letting all the critics know that I was just trying to put some perspective on the whole thing. Actually, without all the critics and the time they spend giving feedback, we would still be stuck playing Night Driver. So thanks to all the developers, critics, and everyone that contributes to a game like Forza 4 being available!! I just feel lucky to be able to play these games. To give a more insightful review of the Demo... Graphics are better, cars feel the road better, AI is better, Load times (at least w/ the demo) are faster. I guess if I would want anything to improve, it would be the crashing physics...if you are in simulation mode, your car should just crunch and shut down when you hit a wall at 180MPH.... then maybe the simlation could even tell you if you were injured or dead or something. That would give a whole new meaning to "career" mode in the full game.
 
Yes the Forza is demo is brilliant still. Handling, despite the assist is much more varied and natural. The new track is very well thought out. Once the race has finished there's some nice camera work following the AI cars around which bolds well for the replays. First time in Forza I actually liked to just watch the cars in replay form, plus when casually watching, I haven't noticed cars floating over the track, Forza 3 it stuck out a mile. Watching the Cougar close, body roll and suspension movement was nice and planted.

Definitely see myself wanting to play it more than Forza 3 already.

Perhaps it could be discussed in a separate thread so that one could actually 'read' rather than 'scroll' in this thread about, you know, impressions. Seems just as valid an idea as yours.

Furthermore, details of the steering assist debate have been discussed ad nauseum within this thread as well--what is really left to discuss?

The demo has been discussed ad nauseum too... what's your point? Not much to say about 5 cars and 1 track.
 
FuzzyFassbender
Not in my opinion :) In addition to FM, my Fanatec (CSR on the way:drool:) will be used for my sims of choice on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 👍

I agree and i actually love having the option to use this wheel on all my systems as well as the pc as well as all the tuning options that are available on the wheel. I have the Turbo s with clubsport peddles and I could not be any happier with the ffb and the way the wheel feels.

Yeah how crazy, the demo discussed ad nauseum in a thread titled 'Forza 4 Demo Thread'.

Get the point now, or are you going to carry on with your lame-ass whining?

Their is nothing wrong with posting about a issue about the Forza 4 Demo in the Forza 4 demo thread. The steering assist issue is just as on topic as peoples drooling over fancy graphics.
 
I found the demo got boring worryingly fast. I think the turn 10 just aren't very good at designing original tracks any more. I still miss alpine ring, new york long, blue mountain raceway and to a lesser extent rio and toyko.

Yeah, I think they picked bad tracks to remove. Rally di Positano and New York Circuit were actually two of my favorites. Sedona is by far the worst, if anything should be removed it's Sedona.

Noted. As were the previous 5,000 posts littered with 'stupid', 'morons', 'children', etc. as if attempting to lead some revolution from a Forza demo impressions thread buried within the gtplanet forums no less.

Unfortunately, one has to scroll incessantly to find maturely discussed impressions rather than arguments and the CONSTANT wailing and gnashing of teeth over one facet. Oh well.

Want to contribute to the discussion or start another argument?

Funny how you knew that the post was directed toward you. That must tell you something but that's right I'm just an idiot and your too smart to have a conversation with some idiot like me so I guess the answer to your question is neither.
