It actually looks pretty impressively complex and more than just a spreadsheet micromanagement game. Would be awesome to see things like this in future Forza titles, too.

I couldn't get it to upload a movie clip right around when you posted this so it looks like there's some issues going on.

Hybrids on the ring was eerie, although the near silent driving was actually pretty calming. Only road noise and people crashing into each other could be heard :) I'll try and sort my mic for next time, it seems to like cutting out unless I'm shouting into it

e - oh yeah, I had NO idea you got driver / manufacturer XP from multiplayer games. Sweet!

Why does it seem like the worst races are always the ones with two heats? And whatever happened to "race the car you're in?" I want to drive my Miura, and then it comes up with three A class races.

I haven't played online in a while, so today I had to spent nearly two hours restarting my router again and again trying not to get the dreaded "moderate NAT" message from my XBox, which results in me being unable to join any lobby. It just sometimes stops working for whatever reason, without actually changing any settings. Does anyone have any idea what that could be?

Ugh, why didn't they fix the painting? you still can't paint over the secondary color of a car once you've picked a color scheme. No matter what you pick, you're stuck with the original secondary color unless you put a vinyl over it.

Was reading on the official forums, that Turn-10 made drag racing a lot more interesting and challenging. You can't just floor the gas anymore, otherwise you spin out, it actually requires some skill.

This is the first Forza I've played, and it seems like you have to mash buttons and steering to flip back over.

Is anyone else disappointed by all the Top Gear integration they were hyping for this game? Having the track and the rivals challenges is nice, but I was kind of expecting to hear Jeremy Clarkson's soothing narrations throughout the game. Instead he gets a few opening lines for the cars in Autovista before the other English narrator takes over.

Not really a big deal, it isn't taking away from my enjoyment but I was kind of hoping Top Gear analysis things. would permeate the game a little more.

Just let off the accelerator and hold the steering to one side to flip in that direction.

I wasn't expecting him to have many lines in the game, when it was first announced. He is way to expensive of a personality.

I'm more annoyed by it personally. Having the track is great, having the car is fantastic, but having to do freakin' bowling in the career? gently caress off with that poo poo, it's dumb as heck. If I wanted to do that kind of thing I'd go play PGR which does that stuff a hell of a lot better (and it has weather :v:).

Quick question about the 240 mph achievement, does anyone have any tips on how it would be easiest to get?

I spent about ten laps around the benchmark high speed ring in the loving Veyron last night and came up short by 1 mph. Am I just terrible or am I missing something obvious?

I don't get the complaining about this. It's basically the same as the gate crasher events in Dirt 3, and it's not like they're even remotely hard. I've yet to finish one where I wasn't 50,000 points over the target score.

If anything, I'm disappointed they didn't do something even sillier like car darts, with a steep ramp to jump at a big bullseye on the track. Maybe an obstacle course event where you have to complete a lap while you dodge around drum kits and vases on pedestals or something.

Pet me.
Guys, I've been having this problem and I was wondering if anybody had the same thing.

Apparently, I bought a car design, and my game decides to crash for no goddamn reason while saving. Now whenever i access the My Designs tab, the game crashes from here on in.

I thought it was my X-Box overheating, because this poo poo happened today already (accessing the same thing), so i cleared a fuckton of stuff to install it. It certainly isn't the CD, it's pristine.

I hope it's a bug, because i can't think of anything else.

The design you bought may have gotten corrupted somehow. Look at your Forza 4 gamesaves folder from the dashboard and see if any of the files in there has an exclamation point next to it. If it does, delete that and only that and try the game again. DON'T delete your main gamesave though.

So yeah, about that credits/900 degree wheel glitch.

It's a lot more annoying when it happens 4 straight times in Rivals mode, getting zero of four 100k+ bounties plus whatever race feats zeroed as well. Going to 270 didn't seem to fix it, and going back to 900 after trying that didn't either.

Does anyone know if there is a difference in the type of racing people prefer in LLJK, SAEG, and GISH? I've noticed in LLJK it's mostly screwing around or doing gimmick races instead of class races. Are the other groups the same/different?
