I'm only hyped about this for one reason. Playing Forza every Wednesday with my bros.

If I had an option to skip the singleplayer (but have unlimited moneys) I'd take it.

That's it? Not the equivalent number of tokens for that DLC content?

Remember, those of you who got the LCE for Forza 3, that the following cars are UNICORNS in Forza 4 and you can import then from your old Forza 3 save.

2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia
2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

Here's a short glimpse of the soccer minigame online. It looks as fun as I could ever imagine. I hope we can do 8 vs 8 on it.

gently caress me next week is going to be fun.

Sorry if this has been addressed, but how does this game handle stuff like a car having really good TCS coming out of the factory? For instance, the new McLaren is supposed to have fantastic traction control. Is there going to be a setting that basically allows us to use TCS for cars that actually have it? (And have an option for this in multiplayer as well?)

No sir.

If you have manual clutch and hop in a paddle gear car, you still gotta clutch.

Yes.

Wasn't there a Benchmark track that did the same thing?

There really ought to be a demolition derby-type game mode for this track online. Simulation damage, you lose when your engine reaches >80%, last man standing wins. I'd play the gently caress out of this.

Would be unbalanced as gently caress though. Unless all in the same cars.

So I immediately redeemed all my codes and downloaded all the DLC. But in the dealership the new blue M5 is still DLC.

Is this normal?

EDIT: I have a LCE.

I still think the Ferrari F430 Scuderia is the best sounding car in this game. I couldn't find it in the free play mode though. Is it only available if you imported it from Forza 3?

I think it's a unicorn now. And you could have gotten it easy by importing.

Woops!

So how do the rotary engines sound? Any different compared to Forza 3? Just curious cause my RX-7 FD is one of my favorite drifting cars.

The FD Spirit R Unicorn car I drove for a few hours last night sounded legit.

It generates all kinds of hilarity in fast cars when they get floaty.. you see a guy crest a hill with the gas floored, and starts swerving all over the place as he tries to correct for the car suddenly wanting to put itself rear end-forward.

The jump on maple valley is even more funny now, as is the long downhill stretch on the alps track.

This.

Also, due to new suspension simulation (BODYROLL!) bumps are something the cars really react too now. So hitting a bump with the suspension loaded can cause you to lose your poo poo too.

They seemed to do a good job toning down the problem areas though.. the curbs on Maple Valley doesn't send cars into instant barrel rolls anymore, and the bumpy section on Sebring is actually drivable.

Cars have soft suspensions now. :ssh:

I think 3 having people rollover so much was due to pretty much every car having no body roll to soak up a curb.

Seriously some of the gift cars are stupidly modified, yeah sure i'll take a mclaren f1 with a bunch of power upgrades but no tyre/suspension/brake ones.

Once I get enough cash I'm selling a lot of them. I hate having pre-tuned cars.

The sad thing is most pubbies you might race against (if you were ever that desperate for online racing) tune their cars exactly like that, because of the idiot mentality that more horsepower = better than.

It's way easier for a pubbie to utilize MOAR POWAAAA than the 0.08G upgrade in grip.

BlazeKinser posted:

That's pointless, just undo the upgrades so they're stock and fix them up properly when you have affinity level 4 and can upgrade them yourself for free.

You make a good point.

GreatGreen posted:

One thing I miss about Gran Turismo 5 is that in the external view, the camera is welded to a point in the air relative to the car as opposed to Forza's view where you can see the car rotate around a little bit as you turn, which makes it hard to get a feel for the weight shift of the cars. Although anybody who actually cares about that sort of thing won't be using the external camera, but still.

Really? I actually prefer it the other way. Lets me see how the car is reacting. GT5 is the only game I know with a chase cam like that. Including many sims.
