I hear that, I want to know as well because if I have to sign up to either just to claim my goodies I'll be annoyed.

This is official image?

The "PEGI 18+" is shopped, but the image itself is an official one, from when T10 confirmed the F1 to be in Forza 4.

/edit:
Made a mistake, the wheels have also been changed. Picture can be found here.

Just emailing them a pic of the receipt with your gamertag written on it works. Just got my confirmation.👍

Neither Twitter or FB are required. So you're good to go. 👍

Got mine, too. For anyone on the fence, e-receipts do work. No questions asked.
 
I was just trawling the toobs for ITB videos, and I happened across this:



It seems there are a few videos of the sort. Here's a couple with some dood explaining what they do:



I had that same idea, of simulating in-ear distortion and other non-linear effects. Interesting that they've licensed a solution instead of making one themselves; perhaps there's a patent issue, or he's not telling the full story (normal non-linear behaviour in air is achievable by amplitude modulation of the signal with itself.) Anyway, in the second video he says he worked on all the PGR games, and only came to Forza a year ago... It's looking promising. I'd like to know more about what he was talking about regarding the intake; perhaps they're using mechanical transducers instead of microphones in places.

I'm interested to see what happens, and I hope they stop doing that thing where external sounds don't have the correct filtering (e.g. of the intake) to make it sound like it really is outside the car. Especially if they use that ITB'd Supra sound, it sounds quite different with the bonnet shut. Glad they're at least capturing the intake sound from different angles - ITBs have some nice phasing effects as your listening angle changes that gives them their distinctive brutality, much like individual exhaust tips.

I wonder if they'll effect out the reverb in those very echo-y workshops...
 
Hospitta, what's with the 'shopped wheels? They look very off on the 458 especially.

Yeah i did it really fast. Did not get into the small details.
So it will ahve too do untill release date..👍:)
 
I never purchase limited edition games at all but I think this might be worth the purchase. A lot of my friends that bought the LE of F3 were given many Free cars by T10. I remember that several of those cars were worth a couple million dollars. That alone makes it worth the purchase. So I am considering buying the LE of F4. And thats coming from someone that NEVER purchases the LE of anything.

Only time I ever purchased an LCE was for Forza 3. I had GT5's CE on order with Amazon but due to a payment issue (they had my old card on file) I ended up canceling it to get the game on day 1. Called around and only regular copies were available so I got that. I swore to myself I wouldn't get the FM4 LCE but to be honest... I'm really tempted to bite now.

I never purchased LE of anything either. Usually there's no real benefits to me for doing it. Usually some junk in the box that in less than 1 hour after opening is worth 2 cents afterwards. Usually, when the dust settles, any in-game content from LE's aren't worth it. I was also dead set on getting the GT5 CE but as more and more info came out about what was NOT going to be in the game I just got a regular copy. VERY glad I did that.

Forza 4 will be my first LE purchase though. A ton of cars given away that I have to say is a little more than just stuff that wont matter afterwards. I'm gambling they really gonna do right by LE guys this time around. Not that they didn't with Forza 3 but I think they might go above and beyond this time around.
 
I agree, those that had the F3 LE said it was one of the best LE they ever purchased because T10 kept releasing free cars and goodies. So at this point I am almost positive I am going for the LE for F4. Especially since I play the game almost every single day and T10 has been so good to the community. I have no problem supporting them as a developer.

The "Top Gear" booklet should be quite nice too as is the fancier case/box...
I think for the difference in price the LCE is well worth the extra, they havnt really overpriced it like some limited editions.
 
At this point I am just going to click the box above for "Limited Collectors Edition". I need to go pre-order this asap. Now I can be a VIP. :) This just feels so strange because I never order LE of anything no matter how much I like a game.

For FM3 I wanted the exclusive cars, was sold instantly on the whole VIP thing and the packaging seemed real nice. The key chain thing remained in the box but I actually do use the FM3 USB key as my main xbox to xbox memory device, even if I have like 2-3 others lol. I wasn't that impressed with the VIP thing though but mainly because I stopped posting on fm.net, not taking advantage of that part. The gifted cars were fine but I can't stand the idea that the late adopters that purchased the FUC got exclusive cars that early adopters who preordered the LCEs couldn't even get. Biggest slap to LCE/VIP members in my book.

For GT5, I wanted the APEX book and the car model. Everything else was fluff to me. Still want that book and the car model though. One of these days I'll try to get it on ebay or something.

For Forza 4, those cars are REALLY tempting me. Seems a lot more than FM3's LCE stuff. Like a lot more!
 
For UK readers I noticed "shopto" have the Microsoft Speed Wheel on Pre Order for £39.85 usually £44.95. That's the cheapest I've seen it...

See Here
Someone is welcome to post some links for the best USA/Europe prices and then I can add them to the first posts...

Trust me the Lce will be worth every penny. I was not dissapointed in the FM3 Lce. The LCE also had the Benchmark tracks and the Sidewinder tracks. The normal version did ot have those. And about 25 extra cars.


Ps: Nightracing possibly confirmed by Destructoid :http://www.destructoid.com/e3-freaking-out-over-forza-motorsport-4-feature-list-203529.phtml

Events and AI:

There are more kinds of events to pick from. Autocross, multi-heat and drifting modes are in the mix, and you'll find that there will be varied numbers of cars in the races now. In the multi-heat races you'll find that one leg could be in the daytime and another set at night. Turn 10 wants to keep things fresh and exciting.

Yes, the LCE will be great and I already preordered it. The main problem in my eyes is the fact, that you have to buy it, when you really want to enjoy the game. The LCE includes cars and other game content, which wont be in the normal version.

I mean, a LCE should contain some goodies, like books, key chaines, stickers or so. But no ingame contant, which forces you to go for the LCE.

Why not a Dan Greenwalt action figure? :sly:
 
My standard copy had the 10-car classic pack and Benchmark code in it.
 
I think so far FM4 has shown elements of different "time of day races".
It has not yet been confirmed that "dynamic time transitions" are in the game.

More so that events can take place under different time of day/lighting conditions.

T10 have stated several times that FM4 will be the best looking game this year (a very bold claim).
They wouldnt say that without good reasoning would they? So it is very likely we have lots of very impressive things to see yet.

Maybe it won't have dynamic day to night transition, but maybe we could set only night races

If I remember right, Benchmark ring and Sidewinder test track were not LCE exclusives but "Project 10 dollars DLC". And the number of exclusive cars was closer to 10, maybe 15. I even think there was a 5 cars "Project 10 dollars DLC" bundled with the normal version.

Edit : A quick look on wikipedia :
A redeemable code was packaged with new copies of the game for a free DLC known as the "Motorsports Legends Car Pack", which includes 10 classic cars (such as the 1960 Chevrolet Corvette, 1964 Aston Martin DB5, the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, And the 1965 Shelby Daytona) and two extra tracks.

Two editions of Forza Motorsport 3 have been released: Standard and Limited Edition. The Limited Edition consists of a Forza branded USB stick; a Forza branded key chain, a VIP Membership for use on the online Auction House and Community Storefront; an exclusive car pack of five cars and a Forza Motorsport 3 theme for the Xbox 360 dashboard.
