I'm assuming they'll use the same physics surely.

I wouldn't assume that, plus it's from a different developer, so the only thing they may end up having in common is the Forza name.

That's probably enough R-class 911s, unless they're going to do some of the insane '70s ones like the Moby Dick, or maybe that crazy GT1.

So um Turn 10, I've put my foot down.

That's right, I mentioned this very car—among with about 100 others they haven't revealed—in the last few days.

Ether Frenzy and anyone with a Fanatec wheel, do me a favor.

Try the following IN GAME settings (as in Forza advanced controller options)

Deadzone outside: 67

Set your wheel to 900 deg, set FF to between 70 and 100, put DRI mode to 002, leave all else default.

This seems to really help sort out the linearity. It's not 900 deg anymore, more like 600 or so... but it feels very good.

Using sim steering mode.

I should be able to check that tonight.

Test Drive II was amazing for its time. I never got any of the expansions so it was just F40 vs. 959, but that was great enough.

Seeing that screenshot of Forza Horizon made me think of those old C64 Test Drive games. I hope there's a good mountain road to wind up.

EDIT: It may not mean anything, but on Forzacentral's "Forza Horizon" section, Badned has a locked vehicle list thread started, stating the thread will open June 4. Might have to wait a couple of weeks for any further details.

Yeah I played it to death on my C64 as well. Loved the European Challenge course with the Supercars. If Forza Horizon is anything similar I'll be very happy, always loved the long highway drive feel of those games. Test Drive Unlimited just didn't quite capture it.

Also loved playing the sister game to those back in the day, Grand Prix Circuit.

I played that game on my A2000 (do I win?) and loved it. I liked how they used the Road & Track acceleration graph, and made it obsolete. Suddenly, the car were quick enough to make the right side of the graph blank, as the acceleration curve went nearly straight up on the left side.

Where did you learn to drive?
Wednesday night's GTCC racing was pretty rough for me. I'm out of practice, and I suck at fast FWD cars. I decided to drive a FWD Focus in A class, and it didn't go quite as well as I had hoped... and once we got to Maple Valley, this happened.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRYMkfI0PCk

Great times were had, as usual, but drat it was a rough night of racing for me. Now that school's out I should be able to challenge the podium.

EDIT: I was getting some moderate engine/drivetrain/brake/suspension damage from all of these voyages into the inverted driving positions - nothing too serious - but I don't understand why my body panels weren't destroyed. Maybe it's just the replay system loving with me.

I think its a glitch in multiplayer. Ive noticed it happen a few times during saeg races, the cars just dont seem to have any visual damage.

Hey, don't hate on me for your poor driving :colbert:

I wish I saved the replay, but someone rolled me on Suzuka. Got spun and went sideways into sticky grass. All in all I thought it was pretty fun, but will probably change the spec a bit if we decided to do something like this again.

As far as I know, that's a case of people being Chicken Littles. Turn 10 said, 'Hey, we're going to give you special events and hoppers for these cars since you're paying extra for them', and people interpreted that to mean you can't use them in standard events/hoppers because people on the internet are loving stupid. I'll be shocked if that is actually the case.

I wonder how they're gonna deal with the car models. Will one of the porsches be free so everyone can get the assets installed, or is there going to be a legion of black Jettas suddenly crowding all the race tracks?

Dude?
I never played Forza 3 but kind of want to do some endurance races and there aren't any of those in Forza 4. Is picking up a used copy of Forza 3 worth it? Like, is it going to feel like the same game, or is it dated now and not nearly as good?

xzzy
Mar 5, 2009

The driving model will feel a bit dated.. once you lose grip in FM3 it tends to stay lost until you come to a complete stop.

Visually it will be about the same.

If you want longer races in FM4, set up a multiplayer game with a bunch of AI cars. You can go up to 50 laps on any track you please. No pauses or rewinding though.

I've really been trying hard to not rely on the rewind much anyway and I wouldn't be able to pause in a real endurance race anyway so it's worth a try. Would there be any benefit to picking up Forza 3 for any other reason, like different tracks/cars (keeping in mind i'm gonna be a chump and buy the 911 GT3... i mean Porsche pack the second it's available)

About the only thing worth having from Forza 3 that isn't in 4 is the full Positano track, and maybe the New York track for laughs. FM3 was really good, but if you already have FM4 I wouldn't bother.

Wow. It really is the Porsche 911 pack.

At this point, if there's a 917 and a 928, I'll buy it. Otherwise, I'm skipping the endless parade of 911s.

Guys, they're great, they're iconic, but there are so many great Porsches that aren't 911s or 911 derivatives. I understand there's been seven generations, so I can get on board with having a bunch of 911s -- maybe even half the pack -- but this is getting to be bullshit.
