The weirdest thing is there are matte and satin paint cars in the game already. Why not give us control over that? And is it too much to ask for the ability to paint wheels white? Which reminds me that we got a whole two (2) new wheel options in Forza 4  .

Sex Vicar posted:Was only on sale yesterday I'm afraid. It's back up to 2400 points. Ya I checked it as soon as I read the drop in price, and yes its up to 2400 again. Sigh... I want to tune a Lambo for every class just to piss off the AUGR guys because they were raging about them a couple weeks ago. So I need the Aventador and the GT lambh to fill out the ranks.

I think they spend the entire two years just making new cars, updating the tracks and making the graphics better. They couldn't take a couple months and fix the vinyl editor aside from adding in some crappy shapes, half of which are only useful for one application. It seems like some of the people they asked to make a shape had one in mind they wanted for one specific thing that will never get used for anything ever again. At least some of the shapes are generic enough that you can do something with them, but way too many are very specific and useless except to the person who made them.

If you want to laugh, go look at the nissan S14 and the skyline r34, so many paint glitches, hell, on the s14 the front vents are covered over.

Alfa Romeo Montreal, GLHS, '96 Impala SS, Fiat Coupe, the Lambo, and the Pagani are all great choices. Turn 10 is doing an amazing job with the DLC this time around, especially compared to F3's DLC. But a '73 Pinto? Fantastic! I used to have a '74 in high school. $200 cars are the best, and I now have a car for Jabs GoonMons races. I shall paint mine turd brown, with the rust patches, the spray-painted hood scoop and "accents" a friend put on mine. I just hope I still have some old photos to work from.

For those of you raging about the rumored list not coming to fruition, Forzacentral (which has been providing accurate inside information about what to expect in future DLC) still shows that those cars will be coming in a TBA DLC. I think the reason the rumor list hit is that FC recently added those cars to their list and there was speculation that they would be next to show up. This list showed a few cars from the last DLC pack as TBA DLC before the December pack was ever announced, and they all showed up. So keep a stiff upper lip. They may be coming soon.

It's the game I keep falling back to when MW3 and BF3 have twisted me into a pile of raging man-flesh. Although still competitive and intense (rivals especially), it's still enjoyable. I picked up a Microsoft Speed Wheel and made the change from "normal" to "simulation". It's a whole other game now, and I am once again awful at it.

I used to go there pretty often as they were the only Forza site I knew of that was not blocked at work. From what I could tell, he was a part of the Forza team in an official capacity. He did not necessarily answer direct questions, but more or less tried to root out complete rumors that would run rampant and make the game sound completely different. He did seem to be on a pretty tight leash though on what could and could not be said, but from as much as I saw he seemed legit. (Yes I know it is the internet, do not believe everything you see. Just like everyone thought Taylor Lautner was gay again two days ago.)

VikingSkull posted:Ok, we have a Pinto, now where's the Vega and Gremlin? This, in all seriousness. We seem to be getting every sporty subcompact that was on sale in the USA during the 1970s, one lovely car at a time (plus, you know, the Pinto and Gremlin were hugely popular in SCCA and other club races back then). Throw a Monza, Capri, and Manta on that list and we're perfect.

VERTiG0 posted:How is the Speed Wheel? Any sort of close approximation to using an actual steering wheel setup? How weird is it with it not being attached to any physical axis? This is the first driving peripheral I've ever bought for any platform. Personally I feel it improves the experience and works really well. Interestingly I found myself suddenly preferring the cockpit view rather than the hood view that I usually use. Certainly fun for ~$60, and more comfortable than kinect driving since you don't have to hold the wheel out in front of you with perfect posture. It is pretty accommodating for various slothy couch potato positions. The only comparison I have is that my buddy has the $100 MadCatz setup. Although cumbersome and a bit uncomfortable (imo), the pedals add so much to the experience. Enough, in fact, to have me considering taking the speed wheel back to save up for a slicker wheel + pedals setup instead.

The eventual conclusion is you lay down $600 on a wheel and pedal set and another $200 for materials to build your cockpit, at which point you realize you need a table saw and before you know it you're living off ramen for months because you decided to buy two more xboxes and giant flat screen televisions to play in multiscreen mode.

To be fair, it's cheaper than racing for real, and doesn't generate the risk of dying in a fireball. Odds of dying from blunt trauma delivered by a spouse do increase though.

"Car stuff" might have a negative vibe though since it's not something she's stoked about. Maybe if I paint the cockpit exterior a nice pastel or adorn it with a nice designer fabric...
