Just checked the other rivals modes...
Top 8% for the Zonda, top 2% for the BMW, top 4% for the 458. I guess I really am not as bad as I thought. It's just that the folks on here are pretty dang fast and nowhere near representative of the average Forza racer :lol:

Gonna try to get into the top 5% for the Zonda now 👍
 
Yeah, but in a town like this people would drive in both directions and surely would do something to avoid you, no?
I find the traffic extremely unrealistic, constantly reminding me Im playing a game.

Last I checked the point of the challenge is to weave in and out of SLOWER traffic. The AI are still racing each other, just you are the faster one.

Don't like that event, play the Zonda one. It's typical time attack, just plain fun!
 
Well, finally trying Rivals mode... top 5% right now in the overall leaderboards for the Cinque, though I'm behind Terronium right now, and just nipped Crispy right now.

After dinner, I'll try the other two, since this is addictive :P

Nice. You have a wheel too slip?
You going to share your live ID?

If you don't want to put out your ID it's ok.
 
Just spent some time on the fm4 demo, then went back to fm3.
3 now looks VERY average. The menu and home screen graphics on 4 are amazing.
 
Trying to think how to get tranny in a sentence.

Oh I done it.

Spagettie69 my bad man coming at you like that, but your timing with your question was questionable In my opinion. I have had Convo's with you so out of all those people I thought you would no I wasn't trolling and expression my feelings. I am sorry if I came at you crazy. Happy Bday I am also a Libra. Oct 17th 👍
 
No probs King. I think I understand you somewhat.

You give me the impression of an excitable Kid. In a good way.
I know your 28 ish.

Sometimes put foot right in mouth though lol.

No wheel yet - buying a new system, and the LCE, and Live, will be enough for now :P .

Did the M5 and 458 and ended in the Top 1% too. Crispy snuck in faster times during my sessions in both too!

As for the ID, should be easy enough to guess, Spagetti. Happy birthday :cheers:
 
Hey, I didn't know it was your birthday! Well then happy birthday Spagetti! :cheers:

I'm going to try and reclaim my honor!
 
Make sure you turn on the console first. My Turbo S is working fine.

Plugged the cable into the wrong connector :P.

Spent the day with the demo. Crap they chose cars not in Forza 3 for the demo. Made it tricky to A-B directly. Found similar subarus and zondas though. I don´t pay for DLC so Ferrari 458 is totally out of the question.

I must say this Greenblatt guy is the new Moleneyx. He lie so he get blue in the face marketing this. Why all the talk about their new relationship with Pirelli and removing assists for wheel steering?

Forza 3 is much more sim then Forza 4. Forza 4 on the other hand has the best arcade physics and wheel controls I ever enjoyed. The controls do exactly what I want all the time. I can drive with my eyes closed and one handed and it like I am the best driver in the world super man or something.

Provoke the car to do a 180 in high speed. No worry after beautiful powersliding your car will auto correct and you can keep going. First time damn I good but the second time wait how is this possible I didn´t even try to auto correct it :P.

Positive that you can at least do 180s it was really really hard to provoke in Forza 3 due to the auto correcting so I am not saying they are totally full of it :)

There certainly is driving assists available that is so subtle it´s easy to believe you are a superstar driver.
I am really rusty haven´t touched a wheel for 4 month and I am always crap with new tracks but it was like I been running this all my life and couldn´t do no wrong.

Going back to Forza 3 I am back to this tactile thinking trying to wrestle the cars around the track. No need for such planning in Forza 4 you are free to fully improvise.

As for visuals slightly improved not much to speak about. However I do enjoy the new cockpit views much better then the once in Forza 3. Hard to point out what but they feel more 3D and you sit further back.

Sound maybe slightly improved but not being able to kill the annoying racing music is a bit frustrating. It´s still to synthesized.

Another fun thing I noticed is that Forza 4 robbed that ridiculous crash sound from GT 5? I admit I have never crashed carbon fibre cars is that how it sounds IRL?

I will play some more Forza 3 and see if it will be worth to jump for F4 or if I will wait until it´s 10$. I got tired of Forza 3 10 % into my career. To much been there done that compared to Forza 2. At that time I was active and then it was just to easy. Now it´s a bit to frustrating so I am not complaining that much about the not that surprising arcade move they made with Forza 4. It´s just ridiculous that they still have to talk so much about the "realism" when it´s obviously not their goal.

I hope for all my life that you can disable the rewind function prior to starting a career for super bonus instead. Or at least limit the use of it. That was one of the biggest joy breakers of Forza 3. The option not to use it. Well it´s there how can I avoid not to use it particularly when there is no penalties for it.

lol happy bday 'getti! wish you the best life has to offer!
Heres to your bday and the best f4 has to offer!
 
You could slap an FM4 logo on GT5 and all of a sudden people would start complaining that it's an arcade racer. Some people just want to dislike for the sake of disliking it.

that could be said about any racing game! opinions are like a familiar body part that gets a lot of use... Props for being a D supporter. Best wishes from the west side of the state!

And I bet at least 80% of the clamoring is coming from that alone. The ridiculous things I'm reading tells me so.
 
If I were Kaz, or Dan, I think i'd call the other one and set up a little april fools joke for next year. Each of "us" would come up with a little "demo" for GT6/FM5 respectively, only The GT6 demo would work on Xbox, and FM on PS3. Kaz would release Dan's FM5 demo has GT6, and Dan releases the GT6 demo as FM5. Release them both about the middle of march. Wait untill all the fans are wound up comparring the two, and on April fools, come out with a joint press conference just to say "gotcha!", and walk off the stage. :lol:
 
t.o.

Lol. Yup. As you read the above "review" put on some Ja-Rule or 50 Cent in the background. Lol

It all starts to make sense.

nothing wrong with being an arcade racer though and that's what it will be if it has no pits. I have yet to watch a race on TV and not see someone pit. just cant be a sim without tire wear / fuel consumption / pits.

Anyway I will keep my pc sims along with gt5 for that and enjoy FM 4 for whatever it will bring to the table*
 
At the moment I'm in the 3% with the Cinque 1:45:203 - I have no idea where on track I can pick up more time, I feel like I'm pushing the way too much already, lol. In the BMW I'm in the 20%, still getting adjusted to it. In the 458 I'm in the 17%, going to go back to that one soon.
 
I was hoping for a look at the control customization. I need either mapping or to have the same options as Forza 3 with the ability to map the gas and brakes to the buttons since I use the Mad Catz wheel's paddles for pedals.

I've got top 1% for the 3 rivals modes.

BMW and Ferrari are top 100 times.
