i hope so mark

@Hailfire, the BEC and FIA GT are both under the SRO organization so both would fall under the same category, FIA WEC does include LeMans however that is not the ALMS, otherwise we should be getting a Zytec or an Oreca, but we don't also with Libra racing making their ALMS return we should get a Ford Radical SR10 in a DLC pack

yeah it is, but then where are the race cars??? mp4-12c gt? camaro gt3? the ZR1.R? V8 vantage GTE? which btw is an amazing sounding car. i hope we get these cars, they wld definitely provide the GT Season 9 and other series with some more variety

The first 2 in that list dont race in the ALMS

This is true, but still it would be awesome to have them. However, i am happy with turn 10 and forza 4. This game has provided more than i would of expected, again still has room to improve but overall... its the only game i've ever enjoyed and thats goes for all the forza games. But still, i'm looking forawrd to the porshce being back and the june dlc, 30 cars in two weeks, its like x-mas in june lol oh btw, what about the 2013 viper GTS-R??? hmmmm????

[CQR Aero]

30 cars in the Porsche Expansion pack, and then we get another DLC pack in June, so we're basically getting 40 cars within a 2 week timeframe. lets hope the June pack has at least ONE of the current GT2/E racers.

Or a new track (finally).

Or a new track (finally).

Yes, that would be great! Sadly I don't think we're gonna see any DLC tracks for Forza 4 - I remember watching an interview with Dan Greenawalt from Turn 10 a long time ago and he said they had no plans for track DLC, they were 'focused on delivering great new cars packs every month' etc etc. The Porsche Expansion pack would have been the ideal way to introduce a new track or two - 30 cars, couple of new tracks, new events and achievements!

[CQR Aero]

Exactly. It's a shame that they see tracks as too costly to develop in comparisson to the return that they get from car packs, as, for me at least, it's new tracks, not so much new cars, that extends the longevity and appeal of the game.

[Guest]

Totally agree Chris, it's like EA release new golf clubs for Tiger Woods rather than new golf courses

The best thing T10 could do would be spend their time making a track editor for Forza 5 - the community would then make all the tracks for them!

[CQR Aero]

Unfortunately that will probably not happen. I know (because we had the same issue at NCsoft) that Microsoft will not allow untested content anywhere near their system (i.e. "mods"), so the only possible way for user created tracks to be made available, will be if there's an actual editor and hosting system within the game itself.

[Guest]

Yes, that makes sense I guess as the Xbox is a closed platform. I was thinking something like Trials Evolution, or Minecraft, where the game itself has the functions to create new tracks - that could be shared via the in-game storefront. It's probably not feasible to create something like that, well not yet anyway, maybe in 10 years time!

[CQR Aero]

I guess it's a polish thing. You could include a track editing tool, but you'd have to make it from pre-made elements (you couldn't make "The Wing" from Silverstone for instance. Imagine using primitives to make a model, and then using the livery editor we have at the moment to try and texture it!) otherwise you;d end up with a whole lot of half-finished or sub-standard quality rubbish which doesn't show the game in the kind of light they want it to portray. Something that would be pretty cool is if they released a Software Development Kit for creating tracks and cars on PC and allowed modders to submit their creations for consideration. T10 could then put the best ones through the MS submission process and release them that way, though that's also unlikely to happen as it would involve making part of the FM5 code open for people to see/use.

Whenever a tool is released to the public to create custom content then the communi tywill always find a way to make some incredible pieces of work. Forza 4's livery editor is made up of primary shapes and everyone has seen some of the incredible liveries that have come out of people's minds.

Bethesda released the Skyrim mod tools and some of the stuff there is unbelievable, some things are like an extension to the game rather than a simple extra.

[CQR Aero]

Yeh, I do love it when a mod team takes something and runs in completely the opposite direction! Look at the Modern Warfare mod for Battlefield 1942. Hey presto, a mod so good the team get hired to make Battlefield 2!

Company of Heroes: Modern Combat is another that springs to mind....


CoH: MC - Trailer 6 - Mod DB

....and the insane graphics mod for GTAIV - iCEnhancer

[CQR Rogue]

Chris Richy get the Modern Combat mod for COH so so good

[Richy59]

It does look pretty cool.

[Richy59]

Back on topic, a Cayman R.

[Standaman94]

[Hailfire97x]

Nice graphic!

I think that we're going to lose the rest of the 996 GT2/GT3 cars, the 2009 Cayenne, 2006 Cayman, and probably the Zakspeed 911-GT1 and Penske RS-Spyder. We MIGHT lose one of the standard 997s.

As for what's left to be new, I'm thinking 918 and 991 are all-but confirmed.

[Hailfire97x]

Nice to see the old gal return.

[CQR Rogue]

oh my my old ring war horse is back
