Residency Evil posted:Thanks for the tips! Before my injury I ran marathons/raced bikes, so I'm hoping to at least get back to one of those two when I'm in Madison. I've gotten that impression from my searches and finding that they use a lot of LIDAR around Madison/Wisconsin in general. Thanks for the heads up. If you cut through Dubuque and follow the Great River Road to Prairie du Chien, it would be worth the extra drive. There's a castle-house on the WI/Illinois border of the river, perched on a cliff and overlooking Dubuque right next to the 151 bridge. From there, you could cut over through Fennimore and Dodgeville for more hilly views, or follow the Wisconsin River to Mazomanie. There's great views all through this region, and a ton of really good backroads and county roads. Road bikers and mountain bikers both have tons to do around Madison - I almost snapped my bike frame at Blue Mound State Park's trails last summer, and I plan on doing more damage at Dubuque's FDR and Platteville's Hirsch trail this summer. I hear Cam-Rock and Quarry Ridge are both good also, and they will be closer for you. Basically, SW Wisconsin is where it's at. Be jealous of us. EDIT: oops, new page, need content...  Every car pack has had some sort of ridiculous trim upgrade on one of the cars, what will it be with the Porsche pack? The Science Goy fucked around with this message at 22:34 on May 10, 2012 |

I keep seeing people pumped for cars they've already announced- you guys know that all the Porsches from FM3 are in, right? That means the 959 and 914 were never in doubt, nor is the 944 or 550. As for the 928, we'll have to see on that.

According to this list, http://forza3.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/forzamotorsport3/carlist.aspx , there are 27 Porsches in Forza 3. So they can't all be included in Forza 4 because 7 will be new.

It seems like everything that was up for grabs in that crazy-rear end Jalopnik voting thing a while back that didn't make it into Forza 3 was in Forza 4? At least the ones that made it near the end, anyway... So hopefully, on the 928!

They probably just used whatever wheels were on the car they scanned. Some guy buys a 944, puts 911 wheels on it then Turn 10 scans it without realizing.

Some 787s had both wheels the same design, whilst some had the "front wheel fairing" type design.

The last decent motogp game was MotoGP 3 on the original xbox, and I loved the poo poo out of it. It had a first person perspective available and some of the real world tracks are night and day different compared to driving them with a car. The twisty bits on Mugello really stood out to me.. you can blaze through them so gloriously fast on a bike if you get the turns right, where most cars feel like they can barely hold grip. Now I'm making myself sad.  C'mon Turn 10, you know you wanna make a bike game.

That game was not very much fun until you played it for a while and it clicked. Then it was awesome. If T10 made a proper, proper motorcycle game or properly added motorcycles to the next Forza game, I would be all over that. I'm not much of a motorcycle guy, but it would be cool.

I played the poo poo out of that game for a while, then switched back to GT4 - first race, blew the first corner worse than a level 10 pubbie playing online. Tracks really take on a whole new dimension with bikes.

captainOrbital posted:or properly added motorcycles to the next Forza game, Mixing cars and bikes is a really bad idea. Not only are huge problems generated when cars and bikes make contact, but their cornering and acceleration don't merge well so it gets all messy. There was that PGR game that attempted it and it was hilariously bad.

The different color combinations really makes it look cool. There's a black/red version, where the wheels are also red, and it looks great. There's a green version as well.

It's a "best feature" only in the sense that it's a faithful recreation. The only interpretation I can make of its origin is taunting the viewer like a mole on a supermodel. It's there, and there's nothing else you can say about it because underlying kit is so badass. And I think at some point I got lost and mixed a metaphor.

Just picked up forza 4 again. (and bioshock 2) I had it for a month back when it came out, then my dog chomped the disc through the case. God damned dog, guess I didn't leave enough homework laying around. I bought a new xbox since then too, so all my hard work on that level 50 profile was completely erased. Surprised to see I'm still in LLJK though. Gamertag: InvadeFranceNow. I'll be prowling for some online competition soon.

With exception of the two 911 GT3 cup cars, which have different trim anyway, the 911 race cars all compete in different classes or specs. So basically, no reskins yet. I reckon there will be no race car reskins. The 2011 #45 Black Swan Racing car is a new car, as is the 2011 Flying Lizard. The body shape and aero package has changed since 2009 so it's not just the 2009 Flying Lizard car with a newer livery.

Having seen these types of GT cars racing up close for the first time only recently (Long Beach GP), there's a remarkable amount of difference from the 911s competing in the lower classes (like Pirelli World Challenge) and the ones competing in ALMS. Whole different level of speed and noise.

RIP Carroll, thanks for creating a car that wound up giving the UK a speed limit! Also, the 911 race cars look cool as hell if you ask me. Could be a good multiplayer spec in the making. 8 Drivers in GT trim 911s, 8 drivers in GTC/Cup trim. Falken fucked around with this message at 22:22 on May 11, 2012 |

Need to redo that with every Shelby-influenced car in the game in a single shot. 427 Cobra, Cobra Daytona, GLHS, GT500, hell even the Series 1 and the SSC.
