Is it possible to play in Rivals mode if you don't have the Gold Live service?

Yeah, I just thought I'd ask about Rivals Mode because it seems to be in a really grey area as to whether it's actually considered multiplayer or not so I wasn't sure how Microsoft would categorize it.

Also, how specific is Rivals Mode? Each car and track combo has its own leaderboard, right? What about stock vs upgraded cars of the same make and model?

There's standard leaderboards (class based), where I believe you'll be able to a rival and challenge them there. Then there's specific rival challenges setup by Turn10 for specific tracks/cars/goals/etc. that will change once a month or so.

Fingers crossed, I should be receiving my email from Game soon then. I've got an unaccounted for £52.49 charge on my card which hasn't gotten itself a label yet, and just so happens to be the exact amount I owe for my LCE after my reward card points.

Looking at the free 2012 BMW M5 on the marketplace, it's 370ish megs. I hope that isn't a sign of how big the rest of the packs are going to be if that's just the one car! I don't think my connection could handle that once a month (although it'd be very worth it). Either that, or it contains the content for the American muscle car pack aswell, since I couldn't see a sample pack for that.

It probably contains the models for the muscle car pack too, since non LCE people wouldn't be able to see them without it (assuming that's not just an unlock key for stuff already on the disk).

It'll probably contain models for all the DLC stuff that peeps are getting on day one so that non-VIP (scrubs) can see how cool we all are.

Okay for those who got the Lexus LFA, I can confirm that it does import even if you didn't own the Stig's Garage Pack/Ultimate Edition.

I can regift the LFA I have (and cannot use) in FM3, for anybody who wants it.

Secret import is DeLorean. You get eight cars for being level 50 in FM3, 3 cars for being a former VIP and I got five unicorns on import (I didn't have the old Chev in FM3).

I am sure there are plenty of folks here who'd be willing to regift their FM3 LFA, after importing. Especially now that we know it works.

It has Autovista for the M5. That probably is the majority of the file size.

If you get the standard edition and dont pre-order, and don't have FM3 on your xbox, what cars will you be missing out on, that you can never get?

Minimaul

You can still get the unicorn cars (17 of them) in FM4 through the auction house and sponsored events. The VIP cars will become available to everybody in the future, eventually. The cars that 'import' are all in FM4 and you can get them, you're just not gifted them to start with 16 cars when you start the game.

With the standard addition you'll miss out on the 5 VIP/LCE and BMW Art car pack.

You can still purchase the Muscle Car Pack - or the Season Pass (which gives you the muscle car pack). You'll get 5 Day one cars cars, bmw m5, benchmark tracks, top gear soccer field.


LCE Only:
VIP cars:
2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, 2011 Ferrari 458 Challenge, 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, 2010 Noble M600, 2011 RUF Rt 12 R

Art Cars:
1981 BMW M1 Design Art Car, 2008 BMW M3 E92 Design Art Car, 2012 BMW M5 Design Art Car, 2010 BMW M6 Coupe Design Art Car, 2008 BMW Z4 M Coupe Design Art Car
(art cars are just painted versions, standard cars still in game)

I'll take an LFA as well if people are buying (GT same as username).

Anyone who isn't trying to buy the LCE worried of the game being sold out? I didn't pre-order. I'm thinking of going to Kmart because it's closest to my work and not many people shop there.

Want a Lexus LF-A? A certain number of cars can be imported from Forza 3 to Forza 4. You can still buy the cars in Forza 4, but the LFA costs 360,000 Cr in F3. So that sucks. Have a free one. You may need the proper DLC downloaded to get the car going, ymmv.

Update: All LFAs have friend requests out, check your box if you haven't been on. If any of these aren't picked up by the time my game ships in (hopefully tomorrow) I'll re-offer to whoever.

Added some of y'all from the spreadsheet, GT is Wanderer512, if you're in US-Central/Texas... Rivals is so addicting

I love hunting for people on the leaderboards with no assists on to set as rivals, awesome chasing someone down with their rear end hanging out thanks to no TCS... Anyone else play with no assists... on a controller? Too poor for a fanatec setup just yet, but pretty sure I just convinced my ME buddy who has access to our campus metalworks shop to build some racing cockpits in spare time :v:

I want to get in on this LFA business. My GT is Aww Jeah. I don't have a copy of Forza 3, so I don't know if you can still send it or not. Also may I ask why there are so many LFA's and only LFA's going around? Was that the best car from 3 or something?

I am hearing more and more about something called unicorn cars? I'm new to the Forza series so are these just the hardest cars to obtain? Do you need to do something special to get them?

CaptainHair, it seems that the traffic AI has it in for me when I'm trying to beat your laps in the 458. Took me bloody ages to get a clean one. Everytime I got near, the ai cars clipped me in the exit of the last corner. Finally managed 1:26.059.
