I already love Forza Motorsport 3, I will most definitely get Forza Motorsport 4!!!

Speaking of which, is there an Xbox Live Gamertag list???

EDIT: Also loved Forza 3's pretty decent physics, I can't wait to try out Forza 4's improved physics!

EDIT: Straight from the article

Physics Engine (Kick the tires and light the fires!): Not only has Turn 10 rebuilt the physics engine from scratch, they've also tried to address one of the most glaring problems with Forza 3, the tires. That's why, for enthusiasts anyway, the most important addition to the game is going to be the tire physics. Thanks to a partnership with Pirelli, Turn 10 has completely redone the modeling for tire dynamics. The tire company let them inside their testing system to give the game a soup-to-nuts data download and allow them to directly input it into the game.

That means that when you turn off all the nanny systems, and you're in a car fitted with a set of racing slicks, and you push down the accelerator a touch too hard, you'll slip and slide in the most realistic way I've ever experienced. I found out embarrassingly first-hand in a simulator the perils of such a setup on a ham-fisted and lead-footed auto journalist.

How Forza Motorsport 4 will change car culture foreverBut it's so brilliantly realistic you can't not be excited at the prospect of turning off the nanny systems and letting loose some tire-shredding burnouts on a digital skidpad. Or, in my case, skidding into walls on an all-new track that Forza tried to build to be the best driving road on Earth. Set in the Swiss Alps with three to five different ribbons, it's certainly intimidating. It's also beautiful to look at.

Ugh, been home watching the E3 feed all day, the Microsoft conference4 was ALL ****ing Kinect BS, seriously thats like ALL they have going on for the rest of the year, and this **** looks just TERRIBLE!

http://e3.gamespot.com/press-confere...eo%3Bmicrosoft

the Star Wars one is just depressing, just look at this crap, you actually have to say "Lightsaber ON!" You know, just like in the movie

you dont even move your character, its just a rail shooter that you flail your arms clumsily to play! I cant believe they think this will be more fun than just using a controller!





and fable looks completely retarded lol




and you cant help but just laugh at this ****




I can only imagine everyone in the audience at E3 watching all of this in awkward silence wondering, "Is this some kind of ****ing joke??" seriously, no one even really claps or reacts after each demo is shown.

no thanks.

I still play forza 3 everyday. All about who you play with. Incredible side by side racing.

Right now I play with some guys rules being 5 ppl need to be on. Winner of race fastest lap drop 5 pi, last place gains 5 pi. Everyone starts at 390. Great way to race cars that would otherwise not be winners. everyone just race about close racing, not winning. It's awesome.

Forza is such a great game, back when my friends stopped playing 2, i'd just drive the ring by myself for 3 laps everyday.


Ima beat some *** if there is no infineon.

kneck turning **** is genius

I doubt most enthusiasts can take Kinect seriously.

Besides, racing manual w/ clutch is fine, I would never consider playing with Kinect.

But dismissing Forza 4 just because it has Kinect compatibility/capability is just dumb.


And yes, Infineon Raceway (Sears Point for you NASCAR ppl) should be in Forza 4. Moar circuits is always nice.

Most of all, I can't wait to see the GV STI sedan...

Oh, slow04wrx, what's your gamertag? I could add you and race on Forza 3.

Ridin Sideways is my tag

yea the kinect actually looks amazing, It seems you can combine it with controller and it will just watch your eye and rotate based on how you look, so you won't have too use the right thumb stick to avoid hitting people. I hope it's awesome.

Super excited for FM4... I have the first 3... The fourth one will definitely be in my collection. I was very impressed with the limited edition for FM3, I wonder what the limited edition for FM4 is going to be like.

Have you played with a Kinect?

The Kinect is actually very responsive and not all retarded like the Wii is. I think that some of the games for it are actually pretty good and they are fun to play. But IDK if I would do a racing game on it.

Don't dismiss it just because you think you will look like a idiot when you play games.
