Forza Motorsport 4 - General Discussion

[Lain]

I don't think any racing game on the market today can match FM4s detail.

To be fair though, that's an Autovista model, which there are significantly less of in FM4 than there are Premium models in GT5. Not all 400+ cars in FM4 are modeled down to that insane level of detail. But at least the others are still modeled down to current gen level of detail...

Turn 10 has done an astounding job with Forza's visuals this time around.

Because you are exhibiting severe Nerd Rage.. you clearly haven't learnt a life lesson in how to communicate with people effectively.

Anyone that works in a professional environment seeing your meltdown is going to find it tiresome..

So, I've explained myself, how about you explain why you are being so ridiculous in how you are dealing with this whole thing?

Uh, we were getting along fine until you decided to hop in and bitch at me again. Maybe you should take your own advice and tone down the "nerd rage." I should be able to post my opinion without being ridiculed. This isn't a "professional environment", it's an internet forum about videogames. I don't need life lessons from you, thanks.

 

[Pakt Sardine]

Hey, you should watch your language. The mods take that pretty seriously.

Anyway, Rivals is pretty brilliant. I think I got a 1:44 on the Cinque today, which isn't great, but it's not horrible.

"Bitch" is allowed on national television, so it should theoretically be allowed on an internet forum. If I wasn't allowed to say it wouldn't it be turned to asterisks?

 

[Scaff]

The word is fine (as long its not used as an insult) however you both need to tone down the attitude and aggression as its going to see the pair of you take a holiday from GT Planet if it continues.

Edit - Got it. Sorry if I came across as aggressive. It wasn't my intent.

Just in from Dan Greenawalt via FaceBook:

"Thanks for the note. As with all feedback, we're looking into it. However, we've confirmed that it isn't the steering assist. As you've seen its isolated to the 900 degree wheel, and shows in the telemetry (which the steering assist does not)."

What Dan is saying is that the steering assist exists, but it's not the same thing as the glitch with 900 degree wheels we're seeing in the telemetry.

Please tell me this is a fake.. this looks photorealistic

small vs big.

Niiiiiiiice!

I guess we are just different people, I don't stand for anyone being overly aggressive for no good reason, whether at work, in the street, or seemingly on a forum..

But carry on, Scaff needs to keep this place civil and impartial, I can't argue with that..

It's really FM4, imagine what we will see when the game is out.

Nice shots of the Sagaris, although the ugly pasted on side repeater is a bit distracting, and whilst sort of nice, the texturing on the tyres is odd.. I've never seen tyres look like that, unless boiled on the track!

The side profile shot you posted previously looks very very good.. awesome in fact..

 

[Pakt Sardine]

Those are photomode shots, yes? Those are superb! I don't know. Day by day, I get more and more excited for this game.

Hotlapping in Rivals is insanely addictive. I'm pretty sure I burned away a couple hours doing that. What's going to happen when the full game comes out?

 

[joe8]

WOW!!!

You won't have any semblance of an outside life.

...Just like the rest of us.

It's worse than that...

My coworker told me tonight that he just ordered a small LCD TV so he can take it to work. He's talking multiple game nights. It'll actually probably be everynight, seeing as though he just got Dark Souls, and Skyrim comes out for him next month. I'll have no choice but to play FM4. Home and work. All the time.

Bye bye, Tom.

Is he the guy in air traffic control?

Scared.

Goodness, I'd hope not. That'd make me look pretty bad, too.

Hell yeah! So very looking forward to the XB Coupe, finally Australian muscle!

Hope some people that are good with the livery editor make some of the old liveries for it 👍 I might even try myself

I've got a mate, Gaz 0x, from VWAG, who is very good at liveries and will be making plenty for the XB.👍

 

[FyreandIce]

Will be my main car for sure.

Too bad the rear view mirror is screwed up...

Seriously, even a school kid would make it face the right direction.

Has it been confirmed no night racing or rain? After how good night racing was in Shift 2 and how great the rain was in F1 2010/11 it would be very disappointing if these conditions were omitted from Forza 4.

Attend a real life road track event, EVERY car that comes off the track has tires that look like that even after a few laps. I actually have several pics of my 69 Camaro with my tires looking like that after some road track laps.

No night racing, no rain confirmed. I know its a MASSIVE disappointment. But oh well maybe for F5.

Boo, That's poor especially when other races have been doing it for a while now

All to do with T10 wanting to maintain a solid 60fps with no tearing.

It may be a massive disappointment to some, but not to everyone.

Night and weather is cool and all, but they are gimmicks. Well, maybe "gimmick" is not the right word, but they are pretty much anecdotal in most racing games.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Even Forza 1 had night racing. Thats why it boggles my mind that they did not put it into F4. Especially since the PGR crew has been working on Forza 4 and they had amazing weather effects in PGR4.

I guarantee the reviewers will be knocking F4 down a couple marks due to not having night racing / weather effects. It really kills me but its too late now. Those will again be my top requests for Forza 5 as they were for F4. Night time / weather effects.

Although the night racing was in S2 was top notch, it was also frustrating as hell. I liked the city tracks, but Hockenheim, or Zolder at night w/o a racing line was killer.

Rain, eh, its cool, but again not missed too much.

Yeah, not gimmicks, but I would rather have a solid framerate. If we could have both, I wouldnt mind

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Weather / Night racing doesnt have to be in campaign but at least give us the option to turn it on / off in private multiplayer lobbies. This is pretty much F5 discussion at this point because its way too late for F4.
