Forza Motorsport 4 - General Discussion

[Luminis]

What's with the DeLorean Autovista to kick off the Verdict? That kinda sent the message that "This came sucks as bad as the DeLorean...no wait, it's actually a really awesome game...nevermind, I'm just an idiot."

👍

DeLorean... Meh, I just hate that car with a passion. If it wasn't used for Back to the Future, most people wouldn't know a thing about it...

Pretty much true but I used to pass by one on my way to highschool every day. It was in a used auto dealer lot right next to the train stop that I used to take to go to school. Man I drooled over that thing for months until it was sold (I assume). I didn't even bother to ask my pops if he wanted to get it. He had to see it already since he would take the same train from the same stop I did (just different hours) when he didn't drive into the city for work.

I actually got to get up close to it but it looked pretty worn which was surprising being that it wasn't that old.

EDIT: Holy BLEEP that area has changed. There's a McDonalds where the used car lot used to be and a whole bunch of new stores. (Used to be "pros" there "working")

I was just fooling around in the demo, and I decided to go backwards on the Pagani rivals event.

I reached 190 MPH going down the hill you would normally have to climb, and wow. The sound got more and more muffled, the screen started getting a vignette like effect in the corners, and the motion blur *kicked in yo*.

It was amazing.

Also, did Forza Motorsport 3 really run at 60 FPS? Forza 4 feels a lot more crisp and smooth then Forza 3, though that's odd if they are both 60 FPS...

Oh the excitement.....
Thanks guys for an interesting thread and some great uploads.

For UK it's Friday release, can't wait 3x FM4 LCE and the new iphone4s are going to make me really happy and err out of lots of pocket.

Look forward to finding out how good/bad Kinect really is with the game.

My amazon order says the delivery date is between 18th and 22nd, damn.

I had a collectors edition on order at best buy and paid for day of release shipping. Got a e mail saying they over booked and was unable to fill my order. Man am I pi$$ed at best buy. Its way late to find one anywhere else by now..

Are there any benefits from doing season mode (other than achievements) because I played Forza 3 from the event list and was curious.

Your suspicious of kinect like me.

All good.

Seeing these make it so I can't wait. I want to set up dark room #2 !. I might just make one for these forums and the Forzamotorsport official forums. Can't wait ! I will piss myself when I hold the LCE.

Check Kmart, Dell, or Toys R Us....they should still have some LCE's available.

 

[FyreandIce]

Just finished off my LCE payment at EBGames.

Asked if the guy could break street date for me but nope :'(

I had my lce at amazon, then canceled . Next day it was unavailable but a week later it was there. Now it's not there anymore.

Had my confirmation email from Game. Thank whoever above because I was scared of missing out. Just hope it comes Friday and not Monday like the TDU2 debacle via Play.

Same here. Actually I got two. Must have pre ordered it and forgot then the Mrs orders it for my birthday.

Cancelled the recent order. So that's one back in the system for some guy.

 

[amar212]

Same here.

However, I expect it to arrive late as next week since shipping from UK to Croatia usually takes almost 10 days.

Isn't there somewhere closer to you? Or is it down to some incentive bonus!

I ordered a LC Edition and I need it on English, so Game UK was the only option unfortunately.

But nevermind the wait, I am used to it since all my PAL/ENG games have to come from UK

 

[Spagetti69]

Understood.

Oh well I said here recently that Game were seemingly not being amateurs trying to defend them.

I ordered 3x LCE on 28/29th June.
I even went into my account last week to update the payment noticing that the credit card on their system would be invalid/date. Put in my Debit Card details knowing £180 funds were available for the 3 games.

Got the cancellation email yesterday and the idots hadnt even tried to use the new account payment details but for some reason took the original details when the order was placed. Maybe its because I had 3 ordered.

Ive since pre ordered them at the local store now. Wont get to Friday...
* iphone 4S is only £99 down with all you can eat data on 3. Im giving my daughter my current 4 model and upgrading her mobile contract for the 4S. The new camera and Airplay/Tv out appeals to me.

*Amar did you ever go the multiscreen route yet I know you were tempted once?

 

[MagpieRacer]

My dad pre-ordered ours (going halves on the LCE with him) Unfortunatly I work till 6pm on Friday and he is picking it up but has a meeting and wont be home till 9pm. Too much wait!

No, I had it in serious planning but at that time the inner-state financial crisis crushed on Croatia and I left the money to safely rest on the bank-account.

At this point I would still love to do it - especially with FM4 and GT5 Spec 2 in the horizon - but I am not into spending that amount while we don't know what will happen with the economy within the next few months

But one day I will do it, no doubt about it, I have to beat Raudi's setup in both esthetics and screen-sizes

 

[theotherspongey]

I'm never been so nervous that I might not get a game due to limited quantities...

Hopefully EB Games prepared well.

 

[Mr Latte]

Okay well all the best for the future Amar.

Yeah and seeing ISR using Fanatecs new setup was nice to see more of the game in triples.

I cant enjoy the game properly yet with only a temporary placed setup.
The audio is amongst the best on a console regards the tactile with a brief test on the demo. Im saving myself for the full game. It was something they did say they having the audio tuned for "Buttkickers" so looking forward to maybe doing a setup thread on that someday.

^ Theres already a whole thread for that.

 

[Wardez]

Well guys the wait's almost over! (lol although some were able to snag a copy early)

I'd just like to take this time to thank the awesomely helpful crew of guys we have hanging out in this little pocket of a GT forum. The quality's amazing considering the amount of people and such. Just goes to show how tight of a community GTP really is.


Hope to see most of you on track someday. But for now, being in the homestretch, I just can't wait to break out my copy and just rip into it.

God speed chaps

Anyone planning on hitting up their local midnight release?

I would but I have work that ends after midnight, so I'm having my brother pick up the game for me and then I'm going to (mmm... safely) drive home and give it a go, should be great.

Even if the Spec 2 update's out for GT by the time I get home I'll probably know everything that's included in it by reading the forums, that's all I've really been waiting for since I mostly just race online in series on the weekend so I won't really need to jump right into Spec 2 myself. I'll just have my PS3 download it in the background while I get my Force on.

👍

 

[Terronium-12]

You have got to be 🤬 kidding me, a day before the game is to launch and my card declines.

If I'm unable to sort this out, I am going to rage.

 

[Oni91]

I really want to get this when it comes out this Friday, but I fear if I did I'll run out of money by late November.

Looks like it's a Christmas buy, then.
