Forza Motorsport 4 - General Discussion

[TB]

We're done with the bickering now, right?

 

[tribolik]

Yes.





You do realize that track is in FM3?

I really dont as I dont have a XBox unfortunatly but Im really thinking of getting one expecially for FM4 with a Fanatec wheel (that was the main reason I didnt get the Xbox - wheel support but I ran out of reasons with the present and future wheels being released for the Xbox)... why did you ask? if I may also ask...

It was more of a statement than a question.

I am extremely jealous of you if you get the CSR Elite. I finally talked my wife into letting me get the GT2 CSE for a combined Christmas / Birthday present. It took some negotiation; now I just need to talk her into letting me get it early in time for FM4 launch. I'm smart enough not to ask her about the CSR Elite.

Nice updates...

Wondering now that we have seen more of the games tracks and graphics potential how many of you are interested in going with a multiscreen setup.

I understand it is not within everyones budget but if anything its cheaper to do now than it ever was. Monitor prices are much better and with abundance of part exchange or 2nd hand consoles available it can be done for less than some may think. How it transforms the game is worth it and one of my favourite aspects of making a good cockpit. I think only this way will people see the true beauty of all this fancy IBL and new graphical polish. Not only that but it makes the game more exciting and entertaining too.

I went triple screen for GT5, so this is defo something I am considering.

I cant wait for this Topgear Soccer



This homespace better be a drivable track..

 

[theotherspongey]

I think I'll have to go with yes.

I think I'll have to compare the 2...

 

[Minty]

I think I'll have to compare the 2...

..........What?

That's what you're supposed to do. That's why I put them close to each other.

Can you really not see a difference, or did I just misunderstand something you said?

You really dont see that the pictures of Motegi look the same?

FM4

FM3

 

[barryl85]

Colours are definately more true to life and the mountainous backround rather than the trees on edge of the track - looks fantastic

 

[HBK]

They do look different. But on these shots, I wouldn't say there is *that* huge of a difference though. There's still some nice improvements here and there (skybox, scenery, track texture and lighting, overall colorimetry, no more butt-ugly trees, to name a few).

Edit : I recently fired up FM2 demo by the way (I sold the game a long time ago). And it was as I remembered, which is that the skyboxes look way better than in FM3. I hope we'll get better skyboxes this time. Skyboxes are very important (and one of the ways GT achieve some stellar results in the graphics department).

 

[Luminis]

Seems like some pretty good progress from FM3 to FM4. I remember some people doubting that the tracks that were in FM3 would look any better. Here you go, they do.

👍

I would say its all these little changes that makes a massive difference.

Yeah it seems too look a lot more natural.👍

On the side note. It also seems like corners will get named during replay's and gameplay.

Free look !

 

[HBK]

Yeah, FM3 really look way too saturated. FM4 seems to have gone back closer to what FM2 was, while still improving the overall colorimetry to be much more natural.

Edit :

It's just my honest opinion. When I look at these pictures, they indeed look better, but I wouldn't say *way* better. Would be nice to have a comparison with FM2 too

No, what you see are the gamertags of the TG USA players.

Those (not so new) shots look stunning btw

Gotta love the second one.

Edit 3 : Did you really believe any corner would be named RUT-ROH or KARKILLA ?

 

[Spagetti69]

I'm glad Motegi is back. I thought it may not have made the cut.

The spectators didn't make the cut though.

 

[HBK]

Maybe they just reintroduced the dynamic spectators feature. You know, variable amount of spectators depending of race type, like few spectators for time attack, and lots of spectators for races.

 

[dzidza]

The spectators didn't make the cut though.

Well, spectators should have bought a ticket.

 

[HBK]

And of course, yay at free look feature 👍

 

[MitchZ06]

Maybe they're using Silverstones attendance figures? (The real ones )

 

[Hotspitta]

Edit 3 : Did you really believe any corner would be named RUT-ROH or KARKILLA ?

Haha my bad then. 👍

And of course, yay at free look feature 👍

T10 doesn't do half assed..

Well, spectators should have bought a ticket.

Hehehe:tup:

Dont mind me i'm on a roll...

 

[dzidza]

Does anyone know if we will be allowed to have more then 2 laps races in free play -->quick race??


Btw. I wish that they download M5 already, so that there is no message at the bottom of the pictures

Well selectable difficultys have been confirmed to be added to quick race.
As you remember AI was stuck on medium.

Logic dictates if you can select difficulty, selectable laps shouldn't be out of the equation. I am quietly optimistic it's in.

I'm hoping they do away with all that champion, veteran nonsense TBH.
Just puts a target on your back.

Great! Can´t wait! Maybe I should preorder it... Never did before... But the extra content seems pretty nice...

 

[cuco33]

With the announcement of the Audi RS2 being in, I really hope they added a few more wheel options. I'll probably slap the Gemballa wheels that look like Porsche Cup 5 spokes, pending that wheel is still in. The only front bumper I'd want over factory is the one that (aftermarket? don't remember) has the gill vents on the sides.

Don't know why, I'm just really stoked on having the RS2! I will keep it the factory I5 20V T and upgrade from there. Make it a monster resembling what some tuned cars in real life are like.

 

[Spagetti69]

Any UK gamers here who have pre-ordered with GAME before?

Just curious if I am in with a chance of an early delivery 8^)

Skyboxes and trees are way better 👍
