Forza 4 Autovista mode could be standard / premium?

[CAMAROBOY69]

The way of looking at it, is look at autovista as a seperate "Kinect" mode. A cool tool, an insight to the future of Forza.

Exactly.

 

[Bogie 19th]

I will guess that maybe 5%-10% of the cars will have the ultra high quality that they showed in the videos. While its obvious the cars will not be as exaggerated as the standard / premium in GT5, the point is still valid that only a few hand picked cars will be available in this Autovista mode. Not a big deal but people cant go into F4 expecting every single car to look as good as they are showing in the videos.

But they CAN expect to go into every race and every car WILL have the same amount of detail, all 500+ cars

You better believe it. In fact Forza 3 has that right now with over 500 cars same equal detail on all of them.

My only true complaint is that I really wish they would add the weather from PGR4 and some day night options. Doesnt have to be on all tracks but something would be better than nothing.

 

[Spagetti69]

Camaro are you over the autovista thing today?

 

[cuco33]

Not a fan of the autovista disparity. I like it when all features and modes work throughout the game. I know its asking a lot for every car to have autovista mode but that's me. Maybe they'll patch more cars in later?

 

[MagpieRacer]

Autovista is just a bit of fun. Its no doubt the kind of thing that gets old quickly.

 

[doblocruiser]

As stated by Dan in the gamespotvideo. Autovista will have a specific selection of cars with rarities not seen in another car. At least that's what I understood of it

This games looks to have loads of variaty and I most be honest, that video showing the Alps was just drop dead gorgeous

True, though SOME dashboards are still non-operational

I doubt it will get old, since taking photos in them will be endless and amazing.

That would, for me, depend on what cars they picked. If they go with a good selection of 50 to 100 cars, it'll be amazing. I expect to see some of the most influential cars in recent history and a few misfits here and there (like the Californa, dunno but it seems a bit dull for that treatment), which is fine by me.

As long as it's not 100% exotics and they added a few really special cars to the mix, it's cool. When I say 'really special cars' I mean stuff like the NA Miata, being the best selling car of its kind which revived a whole segment of cars, for example. Or the Corvette, an icon of American sportscars for decades, the BMW M3 E30... I think you get what I'm on about

Autocross(rallycross), backfire, and top gear test track confirmed. All cars will definetly have customization thats for sure and cockpit view. Autovista is just the showroom. You don't need the kinect to enjoy that. It took T10 to make 400+ cockpits from scratch in just 2 years. Now they can just improve the 400+ cockpits and add something new. I'm sure every car will have autovista. The only -con I fear is that Jeremy Clarkson will have short spoken talks about the not so cool regular cars like an EG civic or an 86 Corrolla.

Example of a short speech from a not so popular car:
"This car has ~~`hp and ``' torque its a great car from *insert manufacturer name*..."
-J. Clarkson

While the full on cool cars J. Clarkson will have a full speech about the car:
" *insert manufacturer*'s monster has always been an america's favorite since 19~~'. It has an astonishing ~~'hp with ~~' ft. torque and it can handle like your little toy train that your grandmother gave ou for X-mas. It won the national 'blah' 'blah' and its brand new technology on the suspension can make your butthurt, well not hurt at all...etc."
J. Clarkson

 

[Luminis]

I'm sure every car will have autovista.

Dan Greenwalt confirmed this to be not the case himself. It's just a selected range of cars. And I seriously doubt they'll add many cars to Autovista with DLC. A few ones, maybe, but not that many.

 

[Spagetti69]

^ Negative. Jeremy would never call an arse........butt.

Trousers are not pants.
Football is not soccer.

You get where I'm going here.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

I just added the Autovista E3 Walkthrough to the first post for those that have not watched it yet.

 

[Bogie 19th]

Anyone know the final number yet? 510 cars? 525 cars?

 

[Luminis]

I think they're going to reveal the final numbers at a later show, TGS maybe.

 

[hugo24]

This is no where near the GT5 debate, in fact it's not even a debate, if all GT5 cars had cockpits 90% of us would have been happy.

It would have been a good start for me towards happiness.

 

[rambo881]

I hope they prove us all wrong and ALL the cars can be opened up and viewed from any angle and fully detailed like they are showing. If every car can be viewed then that will be beyond impresive when you consider F4 has only been in development for 2 years.

What you need to understand is that each Autovista car has numerous pieces of voiceover from Peter Egan ('with 300 horsepower' etc) as well as from Jeremy Clarkson ('bollocks' etc). Moreover, there are also looks to be a dozen or more points of interest on each car with specific information.

It would be unrealistic to expect T10 to implement all that for 500+ cars. More to the point, it wouldn't serve much purpose to put a Honda Civic in Autovista. This mode is about experiencing those very special cars which have something unique to offer.

Go to 12:37, Dan Greenwalt confirms that all car models are rendered with equal care. He says "We treat everything from a classic civic all the way up to a 458 with the same level of respect". Also the 458 is an autovista car.

Turn 10 isn't that dumb, they clearly understandd that a majority of the people do not like the Premium/Standard concept.

Well, the cars are probably rendered to look just as good, they just won't be featured on Autovista... I mean, that's to be exoected with all the voice over work and whatnot, and I'm fine with that. There's not much exciting new technology in a VW Golf, anyways

 

[JDMKING13]

What I want is the interior of cars like mines GTR and other tuner cars to have their real interior The mines GTR has Sparco wheel while in FM3 it is the stock GTR. I hope this is the new mode and during gameplay.

 

[Northstar]

So I was thinking about the fact that Autovista wouldn't be including all the cars and it had me wondering what groups of cars probably wouldn't be featured.

Race Cars: They probably won't be featured as they're usually rather bare which would lead to a rather dull presentation.

Cheaper Compact Cars: Pretty much the same as above, usually they don't have a whole lot that stands out from the crowd. Would be pointless having a whole presentation revolving around the Versa(However I have a feeling the Cee'd will be in Autovista).

Tuners: While interesting, tuners don't generally have a hugely different background from their stock production counterparts.

Obviously there will probably be exceptions but I feel my reasoning is rather reasonable.

They want the cars to be unique & these days, several of the supercars aren't going to be that unique from each other. I believe an LMP (maybe a Peugeot?) has already been shown in the mode.

I think we'll see cars from most of the categories.

 

[Crispy]

All I hope is if they have an R34 in Autovista. I want to explore that car so much that, well, you know what I'm getting at.

With its Super HICAS, the ATTESA ET-S all wheel drive system, the famous RB26DETT, the computer screen on the inside and all that fame it has, as it's peobably one of the most well known Japanese performance cars, I think there's a good chance we'll see it, alongside the GT-R and maybe a Z-car.

I'm pretty certain T10 will not pick super expensive exotics only, but some of the 'legendary' cars as well - like the Mazda Miata, too, for example.

My guess is that it will be mostly exotics (Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo, Corvette, Lotus, etc) and aged classics (wood grained and chromed) like the 62 356 B Coupe, 63 250 GTO, etc.

Mazda Miata and legendary should never EVER be put in the same sentence EVER!!

 

[Bogie 19th]

The Miata does have a good place in history, so I can agree with Luminus in some respect. Legendary? No. It might be worthy of collector plates when it reaches 20 years old

I will agree with that. But definitely not legendary.
