Reasonably Priced 2 Hour Race?

by **CQR Aero** Tue 7 Jun 2011 - 23:32

Car Soccer!!!
Autocross!!!
Morgan Aero SS is in the game again (picture on the forum link on the new site)

Less than an hour to go to the big reveal....
bearing in mind how much has come out thus far will there be much we didn't know?
More info on Clarkson and TG integration tomorrow aparently.

by **Biggsy tv** Tue 7 Jun 2011 - 23:38

Big reveal? Well I just saw a youtube video where Jeremy Clarkson has recorded some info stats when viewing cars. I'll be down if its this. Hold on, where was it...

by **Biggsy tv** Tue 7 Jun 2011 - 23:40

There it is. from 2 mins 51 is some Top Gear info

by **Matt** Tue 7 Jun 2011 - 23:41

posted the vid on the previous page. I can't believe they'd let all the stuff that's come out be ALL they want to tell us. There will be some more no doubt.
The TG stuff is actually kinda cool and as I said on ForzaCentral this is all about attracting the next generation of car nuts. It's probably one of the best looking encyclopedias ever created!!

by nickyf1 Tue 7 Jun 2011 - 23:46

Great anecdotes too. I showed my 8 year old brother the Enzo example with the Kinect, and, already being a massive Top Gear fan, he absolutely loved it.

by **Biggsy tv** Tue 7 Jun 2011 - 23:47

Defo! (Did I just say that)

Sadly, I'm tempted to get the Kinect just for this now. I hope it works without the Kinect.

Where can we see this "big reveal"?

BADNED has already confirmed it will all work without Kinect but it will be an enhanced experience with it.
The detail in the retractable roof is mind blowing!!!

by **Biggsy tv** Tue 7 Jun 2011 - 23:58

oh what!? might go to sleep and set my alarm then for an hours time.

by TG Wormburner Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 1:06

This sucks, I have to wait on this until October now.....really excited about FM4. I just want my dang Fanatec to get here now!!

by Stonewall458 Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 1:13

On the IGN site, it says that at 5:20 PST is a Halo: CE Anniversary special, not Forza 4.

EDIT: Turns out it is actually Halo and not Forza 4. Evil or Very Mad

by **Matt** Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 7:23

Quite glad I got tired and went to sleep now!

by **Matt** Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 7:25

IGN now saying FM4 is 6.45pm today so thats going to be around 2-3am UK time.

by Guest Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 7:56

is it just me! I keep seeing slow, hard and awkward to navigate, move around, and interaction inhibiting, sssslow reacting KINECT rubbish.

All I have seen just makes me sure a controller or wheel will be soooo much easier and user friendly plus less frustrating to do stuff with in FM4.

by **Matt** Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 8:03

Don't forget there ought to be ALOT of voice activation so even if you don't want to wave your hands around at the screen you should be able to voice activate a fair amount.

by **Matt** Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 8:18

This shows the Autovista mode using a controller.

by Guest Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 8:27

thats way easier and quicker

by **Matt** Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 9:23

AWESOME approach to 16 player racing @ 19.40 lol!

Sebring is back (perhaps obviously)
Prizes relate to the strength of your chosen rival.

by nickyf1 Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 9:54

Yes. Brilliant.

Cockpit view looks much better now (Inertial movement of the head) and Road Atlanta looks great with the new lighting. And the new lighting means that we don't have to drive in the usual post-armageddon environments that Forza 2 and 3 had!

by Guest Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 9:55

cockpit view where I have it in FM3 ;O) Yippeeee

by nickyf1 Wed 8 Jun 2011 - 10:07

Without the arms being chopped off and the horrible level of detail below where the viewers eye is supposed to be Razz
