Even though it has been just over a decade, Test Drive: LeMans (Dreamast) is still one of my favorite racing games of all time. It's really a shame that Melbourne House got sold off, and the team disbanded. Those guys really knew how to make a quality racer. Definitely a class outfit they were.
And as far as the Motion Blur, it's a simple filter you can turn off when taking the shot in the game- totally optional- just like FM2 and FM3.
How about some non-American tracks, I'm kinda bored of those tracks. I'd like to see some of the F1 tracks, fuck the Alps and fictional tracks for all I care.
having seen actuall ingame footage which if you look for SRTmedia or simracedaily on youtube youll see the vista mode taken directly from the 360 not some poor footage recorded from a TV at E3 it looks simply stunning, all i can think of is just how much more graphics wise can they get out of the 360.
People who can't see that the graphics engine is vastly improved need to get their eyes checked.. or at least go and look how poor the lighting was in FM3 and before. This is a major upgrade in the graphics department. FM4 graphics might not wipe the floor with GT5, but it's getting up there.
The first shots look amazing, while the last two screenshots indeed does have a bit toony feel to them, which even visible in parts of the Alpes direct feed gameplay videos. Still looks miles better than FM3.
The FM4 release date can't come soon enough.
whats everyone going to say "the reviewers need their eyes testing" why cant some people accept forza is as good as GT and get over them selfs.
