They added horrible tail lights and headlights to Auto Union.
Perhaps these can be selected as a body kit.

If this is a period piece, how is Mike Steele going to explain all the modern traffic on the road? Some fast cutting and editing of the footage'll be required.

WOOF Bandits seem to be spoiling the entire Stunt Man career with parts five to nine all posted. Tempting thought they are, I think I'll wait until the actual game and find out about them the hard way. Everything I've seen so far looks like a lot of fun though.

Considering what T10/PG has said about the possibility of cars that are missing from the car list returning with every weekly update...

Spoiler

...I am going to bet you the 2018 GT3 RS will be back on Week 3 (the Porsche week!) and the FK8 Civic either on Week 2 (which has a JDM theme) or Week 4 (to go with the RX Civic).

Sorry if this has been posted before, but this is the intro screen:


Fab song choice - Syncing the music with the season changes for the first minute is a really nice touch. 👍

The serenity of it reminds me for the Minecraft soundtrack.

Where and when did they say this? News to me, but interesting.

They mentioned there being surprises with each new season in the car list reveal. I can't recall anything more specific though.

 

[torque99]

Will the car packs be drip fed every week- 2 at a time and then go on sale?

I am just wondering when we will get the first of these awesome DLC cars.

I also agree any news on DLC before released should be in a spoiler.(Too late now I have seen them all and watched all videos )

Yes "surprises" is what was said back then, which could be free cars never seen in Forza before. @ClydeYellow was referring to a statement regarding missing cars though.

On a second thought, freebies every seasonal change would be unusually genrous though, so returning or missing cars is probably a safe bet.

As some people may have noticed, live-streaming has begun!

I have a prior engagement today that I booked in months ago, but I’ll be trying to pop on later this evening (much later; we’re talking 2200 EST or so) if anybody is interested...

Somebody’s interested, right?

I can't confirm how purchasing these cars outside of the Season Pass will work, but in terms of availability, you will have 2 new cars to play with every week beginning from Early Access launch.

EDIT:

Spoiler: Season Pass/DLC Spoiler

The release schedule means all Ultimate Edition owners will have the ability to drive the Agera RS from the beginning of the game!

Oh yes yes yes!!! We have the world's fastest car and quite some other cool toys to play with... looking forward to the RX-7 and the new rally cars too. Can't wait!

I wonder about the VIP DLC though... Hope it's not just Forza Editions like in Motorsport 7, like I want new and unique cars like in Horizon 3.

The sound is amazing.

The Porsche is off. The 356A only went until '58 when it was replaced by the 356B in '59. I wonder if the year is wrong, or if the car is a 356B and not an A. I'm good with either one, but it would be nice for them to be accurate...

The B-Variant was released in the fall of 1959, so it could be a

So it should be a T2 body style with the exhaust coming through the bumper over-riders. I suppose we will find out in a few weeks.

If you plan on playing the game through GamePass, can you still buy the Forza VIP thing?

Yes, all add-ons should still be available for purchase.

All these videos and new information is making it very hard to work...

 

[Silver Arrows]

Apparently my UE digital pre-order is now in limbo because Microsoft can't 'authorize my payment' or some **** like that.

My only concern is that everything on my end is pre-loaded. If I cancel it, are they just going to delete my game, or block me out from playing it? It's not too much of an issue, because I have Xbox Game Pass (which is certainly a life saver!) and I can probably just pay again in a few days time because apparently the charge didn't post on my credit card. But still, it's incredibly weird and confusing. I'll just be playing on the 4th, probably, and not during Early Access.

I've seen a few people having this issue on FM.net, which was resolved by calling Microsoft. To answer your question, they cannot delete the game, they will just block access to it, since you don't own it.

Alright, do you know if they charge again if I call it in? because that's the ultimate issue, and why I'm willing to wait until the 4th to play, because i'd rather not overcharge my credit card.

You can check to see if the payment actually went through, but if they couldn't authorize it, then it most like won't be charged twice.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Because it didn't go through on my credit card's end, or at least, I can't see it on my approved transactions.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

@Silver Arrows I've got the exact same issue on my end, the only difference being that I'm paying with PayPal. I had this issue when I pre-ordered the Gold edition of The Crew 2, and I ended up having to repurchase it on the Xbox itself on Early Access release day.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Not clicking on any Gameplay videos.

Don't want to be spoilt.

 

[GBalao888]

Well it's a really bad shame that not every car is in the Autoshow, but I'm hearing that some cars like the Huracan and the R34 are part of a level-based reward or on the Wheelspins.

 

[Nielsen]

The BMW Z8 footage suggests that the cars in the 007 DLC aren't only Bond enhanced for Forzavista. Look at the steering wheel and dashboard instruments while driving, not stock. I doubt the interior is modifiable.

 

[EngieDiesel]

I couldn't help but watch a little bit on Twitch streams, and I'll say this much:

Spoiler

I have never cared one bit about Halo, but the Horizon event with the Warthog is amazing. It looks like they really put extra effort towards making the "experience" races into something special this time around.

Well it's a really bad shame that not every car is in the Autoshow, but I'm hearing that some cars like the Huracan and the R34 are part of a level-based reward or on the Wheelspins.

Yeah, some of them appear to be a reward for leveling up in the various disciplines. But those seem to level up pretty darn fast so I doubt it's terribly hard to obtain them.

 

[WanganDream]

I'm very dissatisfied with the fact that not all cars are in Autoshow. Not Forzathon shop and wheelspin.
These systems are useful for the purpose of giving a sense of accomplishment playing games, but should be added to Autoshow after unlocking.
They didn't learn anything from FM7 failure. It's a shame.

* I’m looking forward to FH4 very much. But at the same time I hate that many cars will be exclusive.

I'm fairly certain it only means things like the retractable bumpers and what not. No reason why interior cant be modeled as it's not really doing any function.

I really don't see it the same way at all. I like that a dozen or so cars would be locked to accomplishing something in game. People are conflating the two in my opinion, because this is nothing like the specialty dealership - something that locked cars towards absolutely no progression system and the sole purpose to add longevity to the game. What is it, a handful of cars compared to the hundred or so?
