Forza Motorsport 4 - The Floodgates Have Opened...

twinturbo2 said:If Porsche isn't in the game, can I at least have the Fiat 500 Abarth esseesse that appeared in Forza 3? It'll do until the real Abarth hits America in 2012 and gives the GTI and Mini Cooper S some serious competition in the pocket rocket segment.
And then the Focus ST hits the US shortly thereafter, and hot hatch fans will have a wealth of choices here.
The Abarth 500 is already confirmed. Abarth is one of the new manufacturer actually as they're now separated from FIAT.

Not sure if I like that. That'd be like putting AMG as separate from Mercedes. Fine for older models, doesn't make sense for newer ones. The 500 Abarth is a Fiat.

Wow, calm down dude. They said IF, and if they are going to, it will be on the Pitpass Report on Friday.
Looks like you are just trying to find things to be upset about.
Nope, just already getting fed up with the teasing I think. It's cruel. I'd much prefer to hear "new car/track reveal this Tuesday" rather than "maybe we might show you something soon, maybe early in the week, IF the planets align and IF we are feeling generous and IF we tire of taunting you all who we KNOW are hanging on our every word and salivating for new information".Shortt Sirket said:
Sadists!
I'll never understand why companies make announcements of announcements. It always leads to people being upset. Either the announcement doesn't come when promised, or it's not as cool as people believed it would be.Mascot said:
Just announce the stuff when it's ready to be talked about. No need to say anything beforehand.

Okay, your first post sounded like trolling to me, so I apologize. I do agree that I would love to have real, concrete information every week. But I can also see from a business standpoint why this works so well. I mean, look at us! We are damn near salivating and will gladly accept any bone they choose to throw at us.
There is enough cars they could show us like 5 a week until release and there still would be plenty left. They have their reasons and as much as it drives us mad, they have a disturbingly good rationale for what they do.

I don't know where I've been, but that's the first I've seen of that thing. I have to say, it's actually pretty impressive. Even if it's 90% as good as a controller, that would be a real feat. I bet they'll sell quite a few of these.skyfinch said:
Exactamundo. It wouldn't be the first time, unfortunately. We suffered it numerous times in the run-up to FM3 so I sincerely hope they show their fanbase a little more respect this time around. Why pump out half-truths or make broken promises (even marketing ones) about your own game? It doesn't make sense, unless they really do subscribe to the "all publicity is good publicity" maxim. It really pisses me off at times.Doodis said:

That's an extremely positive review of the wireless wheel. Looking forward to trying it out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Abarth isn't a manufacturer. It's a tuning company, that was never part of Fiat, but made a few iconic tuned versions of classic Fiat cars, condoned by Fiat.
They also tune other manufacturers cars.
boris feinbrand said:
They tuned cars from other manufacturers many moons ago but have been owned by FIAT since 1971.
Maybe we'll get some of the "real" old Abarth which have no affiliation with FIAT ?
If they separate Abarth from FIAT, I would be surprised if Jeep continued to be under the Chrysler brand.
Xanadu said:
The new one doesn't have FFB so I'd say, as crappy as it is, the old MS wheel still is superior.
I'm with everyone though, the wireless wheel looks surprisingly good and very precise.
Pretty much my thinking, too. Something that portable that gives you the accuracy (but not necessarily the feel) of a full wheel is nothing to be sniffed at. The impressions are really surprising me, too.madmackem said:
Unless the Madcatz comes out in Australia and is reasonably priced (hint: it won't be) then this wheel might have to do... which I have no problem with, TBH.

Pedals and paddles are shit but I didn't mind the MS wireless wheel at all, did me for 100's of hours over the years, with the GT2 I'll dial down the wheel rotation for race cars so it makes little difference.
GT2's paddles are awful, maybe worse than the MS wheel.

saladine1 said:Maybe........ Turn 10 don't have any other major features to announce besides tracks and cars....reverse psychology at it's most obvious
No more features, no more announcements to be made. In fact, it's rumored that they are getting rid of Autovisa mode, online racing, and cars.
Edit, hope this reverse psychology thing works.

This is bad. I bought Forza 3, liked it well enough, but I rarely play it. Now I see the Forza 4 stuff and want it too, but know I'll only play a race here and there...

AutoVista got replaced with beardVista. With Kinect, you can now touch and feel Dan's highly detailed beard.skyfinch said:

Yeah it's the spongy feel, also it has to be pulled at the middle of the paddle, higher or lower doesn't register properly.
G25's paddles were much nicer, I'm almost certainly going to flog the GT2 when the CSR elite wheel comes out, GT2 is a fine wheel but a letdown if I'm honest.

Iv'e never used G25's but I use the top of my GT2's to shift and it works fine for me because I hold the wheel at 10 and 2.
You sure there isn't an issue with your wheel? I'm surprised I'm seeing somebody complain about it as it's the best wheel I've ever played with and I've tried quite a few.
skyfinch said:
Nice video!
At 1:34 in that video, if you look in the rear view mirror, the car following goes over the same bumpy section of the road, and it seems to have quite a fluid suspension oscillation, I don't remember seeing that kind of thing in FM3..
[edit] Can also see it as he goes by the AI at 3:20..

Here's the sort of thing I mean, but not my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0lfsaIKbkA&feature=related
I don't mean to be down on the wheel, does it's job perfectly well. I think I expected too much going from G25 which is a damn good wheel in itself.
Love the Clubsport pedals though.

Hi Forza Community!
I've seen a Forza 4 trailer on youtube that shows car manufacturer logos under slowmotion.
There was no "Porsche" brand there. Will we be able to get any Porsche at least via DLC?

DLC? Doubtful unless MS make some kind of deal with EA.
