The videolink is here, Nice job T10!



Will this convert GT players over too the dark side??

EDIT - looks like this video confirms that the Autovista is NOT Kinect only. Since I'm not sure if I'll get Kinect by then, that's good news. Also tons of nice details in this video - explaining car clubs, rivals mode, shows different career events, shows the community page etc. Also confirming that Suzuka has different time of day (only day and dusk confirmed so far *fingers crossed for night time*).

Can't wait for FM4! Yes

Things I noted.

- Loved when he let the AI take over his car in the Alps race, the hand shaking/visceral stuff was just a notch or two up from FM3, but not overly done
- The new 'AI' sounds like a good thing, mind you, the other slow cars seemed pretty dumb, I guess they are on rails as it's an overtake challenge.
- New lighting engine allowing dusk etc
- Community stuff is just out of this world.. it can't be as comprehensive as it sounds, but it's 100% amazing stuff
 
Dan mentions the AI is based off of Drivatar tech (something I've personally never been aware of) and I wonder if that's why Drivatar never made it back in to the game as a standalone feature. He even mentions that they had to train them to drive the way they do, which is exactly what you did for Drivatar. I still say it should make a comeback, if for no other reason than to say "Hey, Gran Turismo, this is how you do "B-Spec" properly. Your AI dependent is only as good, only as talented, and only as courageous as you train it to be." :P

Every two years I find myself getting spoiled more and more by T10 and Forza, and 4 isn't helping to change that.
 
phil-t

I just love the new Ai, the community stuff and careerd mode look stunning and well put together.

Yes it is looking good, I cant wait too fully tune my McLaren F1 shortail, painting my rims black, tuning the living daylights out of it, designing an awesome livery with my personal liscence plates and just watch it in the Autovista mode:)
 
Just finished watching it and there was lots of cool stuff he talked about. Rivals mode sounds like a winner to me. Should create some great competition within teams and between teams.

This also confirms what Camaroboy was afraid of. Only a select number of cars have been chosen for Autovista.

Don't really like that. But, Dan did say they want to keep it interesting & that every car there will be unique, so I can see how a R32, R33, & R34 may not be what they're looking for.

The menus though, still look really good (as they did in FM3) when they cut away & you can see the car.

I had previously assumed that fact.
It would end up with more dialog than mass effect lol.

Honestly I would take the game without autovista and all cars have cockpits so I'm ok.

I do realise others have different expectations as they are entitled to.

Looks like you have saved some money Camaro.
 
I hope everyone watches that video of Dan. I am amazed. I imagine not everyone will feel the same as me, but Forza 4 is shaping up very nicely.

Yeah, I really like it.

Well, they actually had me at 'Forza', but, you know, I'm really amazed at what they're squeezing out of the 360. I can hardly believe that T10 got Forza to run at 60 FPS.

Then again, it's an exclusive, so it does have to look quite a bit better than, say, Shift 2, which isn't an eyesore, either.
 
Rivals is definitely a rip-off of autolog, but the addition of 'bounties' and gift cars really adds some incentive to do it. I'm just as happy as I thought I'd be, and can't wait for the BIG presentation tonight.

I hope his talk about 'hyperlinking' via kinect means that I can spout off ANY menu option (even if not on the appropriate screen) and the game will just jump into it. That's what it sounds like, but he didn't really show it off. For instance, if I'm in paint mode, and want to quickly jump to change my wheels I can just say "kinect - wheel selection" or whatever the menu is labeled as and will be instantly transported to that rather than B-buttoning out to the main menu, then customize, then wheel selection, or saying all of those options. All you'd need to do is learn the menu heading you'd want and you can just jump there from wherever you are.
 
I hope forza 4 has racing!!! lol That is sarcastic sarcasm. I love FM, since FM1 all the way through. I can't wait! My list of demands doesn't even exist for this game. Everything that is confirmed in this game to this point is plenty fine for me (as I know more cars and tracks will come).
 
The only thing I wasn't too fussed on was the overtake lots of cars mode.

I think they copied GT5 for that one.

It's from PGR (Project Gotham Racing), way before GT5.. :)

I'm not too fussed either, it just encourages you to drive poorly to get by that last cars, I hope it rewards you for 'clean' passes and staying on the track..
 
Really impressed by the video, I don't really care that not all cars will be featured in Autovista. Really, I don't think there are many interesting facts about the Aveo.

Really like that they keep evolving the community aspect of the game as well, can't wait to join the GTPlanet car club. Rival mode looks rather cool as well, sure it's basically Autolog by a different name but they take it to another level, just hope the bounties go higher than 500 cr.

Just have to hope it plays as good as it looks.

Well, it's 500Cr. on Dan's level. He said it gets higher if you're more skilled than him - dunno, but it doesn't seem like it's much of a problem to be more skilled than him :sly:

This seems like a Real step forward in gaming, i'm looking
forward too testing it out. It's really a cool feature. I might even buy a Kinect set. Another example of how T10 excells as a developing team.
 
Yeah, Kinect might be on my shopping list for the headtracking as well... Getting a wheel is my first pririty, though.
 
You know, people did that overtaking thing long before PGR as well - it's called 'highyway'. Or, in my country, 'Autobahn'.

:lol:

Awesome video, definetely going to get a XBOX for this game. I just need a compatible wheel. :(

Thank you JoeMa. 👍
 
The wheel issue can be solved now, it seems, with the new MadCatz and Fanatac wheels that seem ti be tailor made for FM4.
 
Yes Forza has always been really good when it comes to listening to what the community wants. Sounds like this game is going to have almost every single thing the communtiy has asked for from the Forza series. Their games have ALWAYS revolved around the community and online features.

The most exciting news is that new Rivals mode aka Autolog system. That new Rivals system is going to be SEVERLY addictive. Right now in F3 it is kinda clunky to hit the x button twice to see if you beat your friends times. Now with this new system it will automatically tell you and send a message to your friends. Brilliant!!! Yes its the same feature that is used in NFS HP and Pinball 2 but in a good way.
