I agree that its sad Porsche has gone, but let me ease the pain.

Cayman and Boxter and Cayenne have gone. Not a biggie.

RS Spyder Prototype has gone. Biggest loss.

Porsche 962. Would've been a huge loss, but there wasn't ANYTHING for it to race against really that would be totally relevant. As such I never really saw anyone use it.

That leaves the many 911's. GT2, GT3 or otherwise. We have these though!! Very Happy

Tell me they're not sexy?

Simon, I must say, as much as I don't like Porsches, they, are GORGEOUS!

by narboza22 Thu 25 Aug 2011 - 22:47

You're missing the 911 GT3 RSR though. Like you said, the RS Spyder is a big loss, but the road cars can be replaced. RUF can't replace GTE car.

Fine, I'll start a new FM4 rumour then!!

That'd be kind of cool if you can just add all of the GTE aero onto a RUF, but still, this is the official game of the ALMS, and over a THIRD of the grid in the ALMS are driving Porsches: http://www.spotterguides.com/images/stories/guides/alms_11_road_america.jpg

omg body kit please have same aero as race cars as modded cars and simon yes the RUF's are sexy

A few things I noted that I didn't know before:

Autocross

These are class-based events on race tracks. However, these tracks have gates. Miss a gate and you will receive a time penalty. It’s amazing how much the games change the tracks. All of the racing lines you have become used to completely change and car setup is critical in these events.

The new tire model combined with simulation steering take drifting to a whole new level--more difficult, but very predictable and hugely addictive.

We’re happy to be bringing back user-hosted public lobbies, as we know it’s a feature that the community was asking for after Forza Motorsport 3.

Now the player gains manufacturer specific levels, called “affinity levels”. In this system, if you race in a BMW, you gain BMW-specific XP. You can buy and sell multiple BMWs without changing your BMW XP. Your BMW XP is only changed by the miles you race in BMWs. This XP leads to manufacturer-specific levels. These levels reward you with huge manufacturer-specific part discounts (up to 100 percent free parts), large cash bonuses (up to 150,000CR), as well as Badges and Titles for your Forza Player Card (more on that below).

looks like it'd be more fun getting stuff done in the carrer mode now than before. i know once i completed Season 7 in 'Season Play', tackling what was left of the Event List took forever, as the A.I. is so weak. finially finished it the other weekend

I still have about 30% of the career left to do, and its all races that I have no desire to sit there and complete.

True dat. I know I'm a little late but isn't Porsche the problem in the first place? Sure they signed some stupid deal with EA or something and I guess EA is being a bunch of $%^s about it, but you know, it's not like Porsche owns their cars or anything. I mean, if they want more money they could probably find a way to get their cars in the game. I've been looking around a lot and it seems like everyone wants to blame EA. I know EA isn't making things better or helping, but aren't we pointing the finger at the wrong person?

Did I miss something though?

by narboza22 Fri 26 Aug 2011 - 0:52

I think EA is the main problem, but you're right, I don't understand why Porsche is stepping in and telling EA to share. I can't imagine that they paid enough for the license that Porsche wouldn't care about the loss of publicity from being in Forza 4.

That's what I can't wrap my head around. An extremely popular racing game without Porsche? scratch

by **CQR Rogue** Fri 26 Aug 2011 - 8:26

Porshce as Dan said can not do anythink, EA have a exlusive licence for the time been, hey look RUF are great, the Yellow bird around Green Hell will be great and RUF retty much do mods on all current Porsche range, just rebadge in the paint mode.

I still have hope that Porshce DLC pack will become avliable next year.

by **CQR Aero** Fri 26 Aug 2011 - 13:39

No Porsches, but the old "reasonably priced car" is in - get in!!!! Laughing

Confirmed yesterday:

1994 Nissan 240SX SE
1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R
1985 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex
2002 Suzuki Liana GLX
2011 Suzuki SX4 Sportback
2009 Honda Fit Sport

by Slider S15 Fri 26 Aug 2011 - 14:19

240SX!!!!! Very Happy

by **LMR DarthMario** Fri 26 Aug 2011 - 14:31

The Liana looks quite similar to the Aerio sold here in the US. The Aerio was later replaced by the SX4 (which is also confirmed for FM4)

by **Richy59** Fri 26 Aug 2011 - 15:48

Now, I'm a massive Halo fan...but this is just taking it too far Razz

Warthog confrimed from FM4.

http://kotaku.com/5834652/the-halo-4-warthog-will-debut-in-forza-4-but-you-cant-drive-it

Pity you can't drive it as it's for Autovista only, but I wonder if you can paint it Razz

by nickyf1 Fri 26 Aug 2011 - 15:57

It would have been damn fun to drive that thing with guns and everything!

by johnnyboy360 Fri 26 Aug 2011 - 16:54

That is a shame! That would be fun! Drive it in auto, press gear up to shoot, gear down for reload! Razz

by Stonewall458 Sat 27 Aug 2011 - 3:17

Does that mean we'll have more Autovista-only cars?

by narboza22 Sat 27 Aug 2011 - 5:31

What exactly is the point of putting a car in a driving game that you can't drive?

by **CQR Rogue** Sat 27 Aug 2011 - 9:58

Sure on forza facebook confirmed ford falcon xb gt

if so as we have our public open lobbys back any 1 caught driving backwards or been a general noob will have to watch out for -
