I don't know about this Perelli partnership. While it's good that they're working with an actual tire company, they're only working with one, and because of that, some cars might not handle like they should. What they SHOULD do for future FM games is work with several different tire companies. Because, let's face it, a 1965 Mustang probably doesn't come with Perellis stock. And I KNOW Spyker uses Michellins. And, besides you can't really get an accurate tire model with one set of data. (Although, they've got 2: their own and Perelli's. Still it's not enough to be completely 100% accurate.)

I would say they need at least: Falken, Goodyear, Firestone, Michellin, Toyo, Hancook and Yokohoma. With data points from all those tire companies, they'd have an excellent tire model.

They did something along those lines with Forza 3, but there were issues. Perhaps they were in different formats, or some companies provided some parameters and not others. Turn 10 had to massage the data to fit it into their physics engine. It sounds like by focusing on one manufacturer they were able to get a proprietary data set specific to their needs. Pirelli even ran specific tests for Turn 10. Given all the parameters that were analyzed, I'm hopeful we'll get a better simulation of how the cars respond to different tire sizes and classes and how the tires react to different loads. So while Forza 4 can no longer give us an approximation of different brands of tires, it will hopefully give us a much more accurate experience of how these cars feel shod in one brand of rubber.

Whatever the stock HP is still should be the stock HP. After tuning is anyones guess. There were some big changes in this dept between FM2 and FM3.

Yeah, thats what i was thinking about, so i figured out some one might know? We all have the reason to be worried, just look at the hp numbers on cars in gt5, really strange and decreasing.

..btw saw a pic on fm4 supra mkiv, that made my day.
 
Stupid question, but when you buy the season pass, would you be paying upfront for 6 DLC packs? Or would you get a 30% discount on car packs?
 
Paying up front for the DLC, meaning you will only need to download away when they are released.... there are not stupid questions friend

FM2 (and FM1?) were the games that offered you a selection of different tire brands with different characteristics. FM3 showed you a different manufacturer in the same way it would show a different manufacturer for what exhaust you put on that car. And that was all just based on the origin of the car for the most part.

One big plus of only dealing with one manufacturer to develop the model is that there's no conflicts between which company has the better tires, and making claims that the other manufacturer's model is skewed against it.

/Not buying the game.

Gamers are the most petty people ever. So they don't have the new layout. Boo hoo. Grow up, will ya. Seriously, 70% of "hype" over a game is mostly people going "If it doesn't have this, I'm not buying it." or "Why didn't they include this, those big dummies." Sorry to break it to you guys, but gaming companies aren't gonna change your diapers for ya, so how about you come down off your cross, use the wood to make a bridge and get over it.
 
You could have replaced that god-awful Prius shot with one of the several other Cinque shots, the One-77 shot, or even the shot of the Veyron.

It's amazing how obvious sarcasm often goes undetected.

Agreed. But it's often hard to convey with the written word and particularly when you've got people from all over the world reading it. I also happen to think we Brits do sarcasm very well and very subtly at times.
 
Does everyone know about the demo being available on the 3rd of october? haven't seen anyone mention it.

IT'S A FORUM! Written text. It's IMPOSSIBLE to convey the inflections needed for sarcasm. That's why in a book, if someone's being sarcastic, the writer TELLS you they were being sarcastic.

Hey Turn10, how about you gives us some information before we all go insane and kill each other.

It's been mentioned in the past we're getting the demo, have a search around...(@barryl85)

Come on - you think I didnt search? I'm not new around here like yourself. I went back about 10 pages in this thread and no mention of it. Theres also no thread on it other than Mild Ashers review.

I havent seen anyone mention the confirmed date of the 3rd of October for the demo on GTP.


Edit: I see it was around week ago it was officially announced - I wasnt trawling through 146 pages of a thread to find out.

Wasn't that what I said? And no need to shout, we can't hear you, it's written text ;)
