Top gear-forza collaboration is cool.

I must own that Mitsubishi on the previous page.

After the recent videos, I'm pretty certain the interior LOD has been upgraded for replays only. Regardless, this game is just going to make every other racing game out there look kinda silly.

I think you're in for a pleasant surprise :)

Just what the doctor ordered!

Brilliant looking.


Preordered it a few days ago; The first game I preordered EVER.

This game is going to be a system seller, if the marketing-department does not screw it up big time.

Awesome interview with Dan, check out the paint effects that he highlights in the race about 80% through the vid, really cool stuff.

Truly jaw dropping levels of detail on that M3, it genuinely looks real in that Top Gear showroom!

EDIT:
Just look at this!!!

Well, there it is clear as water (clean water). I want to believe they did this across the board, please make it right!

Also, please stop posting those gifs from the top gear show, let's focus on the game :P

Insane graphics..

Just after a couple of hours on FM3, aint played it in almost a year. Visually, it's so hit and miss, the menu models still look awesome, but going into gameplay it's just so painful, from the lower quality models, blacked out windows, dodgy lighting all the way to the low res liverys. The FM4 vids so far are just so damn impressive.

I'm hoping the cars shift their weight a lot better aswell, so many times while I was playing it just left me with the feeling that I was controlling a car textured brick as the cars just refuse to react to the road.

Really? My experience was quite the opposite. I played Forza 3 a few weeks ago for the first time in about 6 months and i was surpised by how good it still looks. I did a few laps round camino and it just looks beautiful! The draw distance, the enviroment design, the stunning hood reflections and even though the car models lower quality during gameplay, they are stll far more detailed than most racing games out there. And it all runs at a silky smooth 60fps with zero framerate or vsync issues.

EA blocks Porsche inclusion in Forza 4

EA blocks Porsche inclusion in Forza 4

Iconic German car brand Porsche will not feature in Microsoft’s Forza 4 following EA’s unwillingness to strike a deal with Microsoft.

EA has for some years owned a sub-licensing deal with Porsche regarding video game rights to the manufacturer. EA and Microsoft successfully negotiated a deal that saw Porsche included in Forza 3, but have failed to reach a similar agreement for the next instalment.

This, no doubt, is to do with EA’s increased interest in the racing genre following the formation of its two IP strategy that has seen the rebirth of Need for Speed and the creation of the Shift series.

“This kills me. While Forza Motorsport 4 will feature RUF, it will not include Porsche cars,” Turn 10’s creative director Dan Greenawalt said in an interview on the Forza blog.

“In Forza 3, we were able to feature more than 35 different Porsche models by offering to collaborate with EA. For Forza 4, we were looking forward to adding even more Porsche cars. In the end, however, EA couldn’t see their way towards collaborating again.

“We’ve asked our contacts at EA to reconsider their position frequently and regularly over the last 18 months. We also reached out to various influential people in gaming to lobby on our behalf, and on your behalf, but that was to no avail.

“To make sure we tried everything, we consulted with these advocates and were happy to find they were already aware of the situation and lobbying from within on behalf of Forza 4.

“While we respect EA’s need to run their business as they see fit, we’ve regularly collaborated in the past and hope we can find our way back to that approach.

“Forza had the exclusive license for all Ferrari cars, for example, on the Xbox and PC platforms. But at the end of the day, we’ve always found that we just weren’t willing to block other racing games from having Ferraris outright, as we believed that this would do nothing but hurt the racing ecosystem.

“I’m very sorry for all of this. Fans shouldn’t have to think about any of this – you should just be able to drive Porsches and Ferraris in the games you love. Porsche makes wonderful cars and I’m sorry that we won’t have them in Forza 4.”

So why did they block TDU2 from having the 458?http://forums.testdriveunlimited2.com/showpost.php...

While not quite on the same scale, t10 practically did the same thing.

Sucks about no Porsches though. Really would have liked to see them in autovista.

Wow, one more reason to hate EA, and a big hit for FM :(

Can't believe those fuckers. They can shove it down their asses, I'm glad I haven't contributed to their shitty racing games--and with more reason now. Deals like these should not be allowed, makes for bad gaming. When NFL became a Madden/EA exclusive, things went to shit as expected. Anyways, manufacturers are also part to blame for this stuff.

Also, bettyloui, the two things are not even remotely close to comparable there. Block one car, vs block all cars.......ok. Anyways, the idea is still retarded, so I get that part. Oh well, here's hope for a FM5 with Porsche once again :(

I'm hoping the game still feels complete cars wise........somehow....

EDIT: Just remembered GT had not Porsche either.......fucking assholes.

On the bright side though, here is a partial list of manufacturers (more screenshots too :) )

Still bad-ass though! Maybe there will be a drivable one down the line...
