The New King of Racers? FM4

[Luminis]

FM4:

GT5:

I guess I'll just leave this here... Because GT looks sooo much better than FM4, right?

(I just hope that the second picture works.)

 

[FyreandIce]

Are you lot seriously saying the rims look right in those pictures?

Wow. Anyone I show the pictures to immediately point the rims. You'd have to be an outright fanboy to even try and claim that they look right.

T10 can do better, hell, they have done better.

You do realise that that's the old Kinect tech demo, right? Not what was shown at the current E³?

Rims....rims.....rims... lol. Who cares? Let me stop before a mod comes in for damage control. The phrase u jelly and u mad keep coming to mind.

ANYWHO.

Any word or speculation about randomizing or upgrading AI cars for races?

1. That's not from the game itself, it's a pre-rendered image.

2. It's a pre-rendered image.

3. Why are we complaining about reflections on the wheels for crying out loud?

At least not to my knowledge. Tunint the AI cars/them using cars from your garage has been requested quite often, so I do hope they've got something in store for us.

If you can find something better to complain about, PM fyrenice to help him out.

Lol.

Are you lot? As in parking lot?

Can you keep the fanboy talk out of the threads please. We are tired of getting our threads on GTP derailed and closed.

And you'd have to be an outright trolling fanboy to say they look wrong. The F1 looks spot on. The 458 also has wheel color options from standard silver to a dark chrome. The ones you posted are that dark chrome look. Of course, if you're saying the dark chrome and silver aren't the same color that's cuz.. they aren't the same color.

And if you don't believe it.. go on Ferrari's website and check the configuration options for wheels. They have a few different finishes, diamond finish even.

O man, that would make this game insane for me, that is lacking from the races in all Forza series. Euro S class races.... it was always that Lunatic Rossi in that veyron followed by the saleen and the Mclaren. It just seems that some cars just didnt compete as well even if you got them up to S700. How ever my black TT Gallardo is sooo soo pleasing to drive in those races against Rossi. Man FM3 is still so much fun to play.

 

[Terronium-12]

Is it wrong that even though 4 hasn't been released yet I already want news on 5?

 

[Bogie 19th]

Hmmm...not sure how I missed that sexy best.

 

[Spagetti69]

Don't know why I'm loving the little top gear logo in the corners.

Dan seemed to suggest top gear is integrated a lot through out the game. Maybe even through career.

Reliant robins anyone?

Morris Marina's and pianos anyone?

Fixed.

 

[Bogie 19th]

I really don't like the Top Gear logo in the corner...nor the FM4 logo. I like the pics clean, like my underwear.

 

[Spagetti69]

We could go on forever. Damper van, Toyboater and whatever Mays was called lol.

 

[prymet1me]

It just seems like T10 actually listens to the community from FM3 and it also seems they looked at short comings in other racing franchise and came out swinging. Looks like this may be the first game with a good Top Gear implementation.

 

[cuco33]

To be on topic.. there is something that I don't think has been mentioned here yet. We have cars in their default state as T10 added them and we have some modding options in regards to 'body kits' and spoilers. I would LOVE IT if T10 added some additional OEM 'kit' or part options. Like different OEM wheels, different headlights/tail lights, that sort of thing.

The mk1 vw rabbit in FM3 had the long tails + square headlights but a lot of people like the short tails and round headlights as options. Would love that. Same as the mk2 vw gti where it came with the standard 4 light grill and a lot of people switch it over to single rounds. It's fluff but I'd love that.

No way am I having Calvin bloody Cline, (if that's how it's spealt) all over my E-type.

Yeah, the PI system had a few flaws. That's probably the one issue that was mentioned the most over at FM.net. Seeing that the PI rating for some of the cars changed makes me think that T10 revamped it. So it'll hopefully be a bit more balanced, so that AWD cars aren't the be-all, end-all. Reducing the amount of possible drivetrain swaps would help with that, too.

And, yeah, Rossi... Good ol' M. Rossi. That guy was the nuts, with his 'furious' driving style Gonna have to dodge that lunatic again if they bring him back.

 

[FyreandIce]

Really? Not like I said something along the lines of "T10 can and have done better".

The current Autovista and photomode screenshots look damn close to the kinect tech demo only missing car self reflections and the quite obvious downgrade in rim lighting. This is something that can and probably will easily be fixed by launch. Trying to argue that they look right in the images and videos we have from E3 is just childish.

You actually had a problem beating M. Rossi?

I never once had a problem beating Hard A.I even in far from leaderboard cars...

 

[cuco33]

FyreandIce.... they look right. And I'm no child.

 

[Luminis]

So, whhat's your point, then? "Hey, look, I've found some beta screenshots that don't look spot on!" or what? And I'd even disagree with it.

In which images? The F1 pictures? They don't strike me as being out of place. That's what I expect matte silver rims to look like if placed in an environment that only features a single colour, that of the tarmac (which is indeed reflected by the rims). Something about the Spyker, maybe? That thing looks damn near perfect.

And from comparing those screenshots to what I've found on Google for GT, I'd say the FM4 shots even look better than the premium cars in GT5, as they seem much, much more natural to me.

But, anyways, go on about the rim's reflections or whatever, for all I care. If that's the only thing one can harp on about, that's more than enough to proof just how good the graphics in this game actually are 👍

A problem with beating him? Yeah, I had, as I usually used cars that were at the absolut min PI of a given class, givng him some 90 PI points advantage.

Hey baby, can I get your digits?

[Spagetti69]

Why is he criticising your driving for now.

That's tantamount to saying you have a small penis in these parts.

Edit to whoever said about the disslike of the TG logo.

It appears to appear only on the TG track.

Well, I actually think it wasn't any worse than the rest of the post, so I'm fine

 

[FyreandIce]

I cant comprehend their angles. I guess owning an xbox and ps3 pays off.

[EDITED Per AUP]

The better and more realistic it looks, the more obvious the flaws.

Because I totally didn't say this earlier now did I?

And I would absolutely love someone to say that the rims on this

Look anything like this

They haven't even got the shade right let alone ANY form of metallic shine.

 

[Terronium-12]

Who. Cares?

GTFO already.

 

[prymet1me]

[derp]Please point out where and how this is a FM vs GT debate[/derp]

[Edited Per AUP] You standards seem godly high for a game it makes me wonder what exactly are you holding as the benchmark for your ridiculous nit picking.
