Oh I'm so glad Mr Latte has come back... AGAIN...
This thread will be so much better for it.
I have to say that he's been a great source of info in this thread, and much more positive.
RAGE HARDER!

cant wait for this, loved 3. i hope they alter the season stuff around a bit and give us more choices especially for the regular weekend races as I found them a little tiring in the later seasons.
tbf T10 cant really get this wrong, they have the genre to themselves now that GT5 was such an epic cockup.

Everything I've seen so far looks epic, hoping for some more real world tracks such as Spa and Bathurst , the Top Gear track will be fantastic fun with all of those real life Stig times to try and match.
All this has re-kindled my love of FM3, my god its a good driving game, I've downloaded the Exotic car pack for some Radical SR8 'Ring fun

PUBLIC LOBBIES! Mega happy chappy

I like the idea of RIVAL MODE and money/bounty being involved assuming its a bit like what EA have used.
Official Website Info:
"OK, I said that this list wasn’t in order of importance but, let’s face it, the driving is where any racing game lives and dies. I’m happy to report that, having spent a great deal of time with the game so far, I can say with full confidence that Forza 4 is 100 percent, completely alive on the track.
All the approachability that new drivers have come to expect from Forza are here in the form of new and returning assists (including auto-acceleration). And for the vets out there, we’ve added a new difficulty level that stows the assists for pure, unadulterated automotive anger. A new partnership with Pirelli means Forza 4 has the most complete and up-to-date tire data of any driving game around and the results on the track are tangible. Put simply: You’ve never driven anything like this.
Now, let’s be clear—this top ten is just a starting point for me. Given enough time and enough space, I could probably draw up a list ten times this long with all of the things I can’t wait to tell you about in Forza Motorsport 4. And over the coming months, we’ll be bringing you more details on the biggest, baddest, Forza-est (is that even a word?) Forza Motorsport ever."

Something guys Thomas from Fanatec has been itching to tell and show people about but couldnt...
Details:
First off there will be two models available. A “standard” and “elite”. The standard looks to come with what any other wheel would however the wheel is much beefier than the offical Xbox wheel and features metal construction. It also appears to come with a metal pedal set. The elite has a more stout electric motor which I would venture to guess has more accuracy than the standard. It also comes in a different housing and features a carbon fiber center piece. What really sets the elite version apart is that it can take attachments such as a handbrake or H-pattern shifter. I will try to get more info from the Fanatec guys tomorrow. I will also have some video of the wheel in action. In the meantime check out the pictures I shot of the wheel at the Forza Motorsport 4 exhibit.
See info here:
Pics coming.
Their will be full details announced later but it will be interesting to see the price points for each wheel.
Also the shifter should be supporting 7 not 6 speeds and the Handbrake is a first.

Sounds REALLY good, I'm excited for this game. One thing I'd like is more interactivity with your garage, I haven't seriously researched this game so maybe what I'm asking for is already planned, but I'd love for you to be able to walk around your cars in your garage, open/close the doors, start the engines up, sit in the driver/passenger sides, open/close the windows, turn on the lights, sound the horn etc. Sure it's cheesy but I think it'd be fun.

I'm pretty sure I've seen videos with a lot of that stuff in.

Yes and No...
Certain 'selected' special cars, you can do exactly this, start it, rev it, sit in it, walk around, open everything, and even have Jeremy Clarkson tell you some amusing facts/stories about it..
But it's not for all cars..
WOW so what are they not showing us yet, eh?
The Autovista so far has been with just the single background but they have hinted with last years preview and some shots released that it is likely to allow varied backgrounds to be used. Id then assume this can become a really neat "Photomode" as well. Maybe not just tracks but using very graphical car locations. Impressive as it is from whats been shown I think theirs more to see yet regards Autovista.
Although Id like to see weather included so far this looks to be a very good racing game. One that has more varied races and fun ways to enjoy it. Having even time of day changes is a big bonus still particulary now with such good lighting as it will add another element of pleasure from the game. Id assume at this stage we will see Leman Night Racing and other 24Hr type events being a possibility.
The only other feature I think would be totally fantastic is a track building tool. If they were able to add such and base it on what Sony have recently shown with "Vita Modnation Racers" but using Kinect as a track building tool that could be incredible.
So far Im rather impressed, no actually really impressed...

That looks interesting... I wonder if it's PS3 compatible aswell. Hopefully the price won't be any higher than their current wheels, especially since it won't have Porsche licensing fees
Official info on wheels has just been released..
http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/Forza4_Wheels/
$230 for the Madcat wheel, that's a £100-£120 wheel at best (e.g. DFGT level)..
But oddly, the weird gyroscopic U shaped MS Wheel thing actually got favourable results when someone tried it..
It's very responsive and accurate, and wasn't too bad to hold apparantly..
