X360A writes: Turn 10's Forza franchise has earned itself a well-deserved reputation as a racing game with passion. It's all about the passion for cars and passion for driving, so with Forza Motorsport 4 the onus is firmly on expanding upon that passion with a host of new features that fans will no doubt be excited about.
First and foremost, there's Kinect support, which Turn 10's Dan Greenawalt claims has made the game look better, then there's the game's Top Gear license, which means having the dry wit of Jeremy Clarkson narrating as you explore Forza 4's new Autovista mode.
Hell, there's even multiplayer car football in the game, also inspired by Top Gear, except where the TV show used Toyota Aigo's and VW Fox's, you can use Ferrari Enzo's and RUF 911's instead. We caught up with Greenawalt - a man who is quite clearly car crazy – to talk more about Kinect, Top Gear, Autovista and of course, much more besides.
Having outgrown its Gran Turismo rivalry, Forza Motorsport is looking to redefine racing games in glorious high fidelity for Xbox Series X and S.
I think forza horizon is now number one on the forza games. That franchise took the number one spot on racing on Microsoft machines. I think they should go next to forza rally, because there a huge hole on that area of racing. A full forza rally would be great. I think normal racing game already hit the ceiling.
This game looks absolutely insane visually. I'm wondering what framerate it'll run at with RT enabled. Obviously, there will be 120hz and 60hz modes, but with what level of detail & RT is the question.
does anyone remembers Rallisport challenge 20 years ago - that game was some rally racing with great graphics too
KeenGamer: "See the top 10 rarest cars to ever appear in Forza history! Thousands of cars have been featured in Forza since launch and only a handful of them have been really difficult to obtain or, in current state, impossible to drive around with. Although they were once obtainable, it's only for a limited time and, most times, for a certain price."
I thought this was going to be about the rarest and most valuable cars in the game, based on real life manufacture numbers and value.
Turn 10 Creative Director said the studio is now shifting weight to work on the next Forza Motorsport project and for the first time, they intend to involve fans from the concept phase.
They really need to double down on the sim aspect of the sport. The stat tracking, the personalities and figures that run the league and the fictional racers that make it popular, hiring pit crews and key personnel that give my team a boost on race day. The presentation really needs to mimic that of real racing that one would watch on TV. I want to be in full control over my racer...not just in terms of gear, but what he/she looks and behaves like. I want hall of fame records by fictional racers that I can then break. I want a NFL2K5 "Cribs" like space that players can deck out with trophies they won...put up posters on walls of pictures they taken or downloaded...watch replays of races we've saved. I want seasons like FH4 where races would be marked on the calendar and depending on what time of year it is and where the race takes place geographically, the weather will act accordingly. I want to see fictional racers get injured due to events that have taken place on the track...even miss races due to these injuries. I want to get indorsement deal offers from real brands (even some made up ones) because of my play on track. I want announcers added that talk about interesting things during the races.
I always did wonder what would happen if Turn 10...for one release...didn’t make a forza game. Want to see what else their impressive talents are capable of? Especially now with the horizon guys in tow and building up with horizon 4. I’m sure the series could take a break too
.
LOL @ kinect support though.
He thinks Autovista adds more to the gameplay than weather?? Sure...
Cant bad mouth gt5 got ylod a week before release but prologue and the gt5 demo was terrible so they may have fixed it,no sense of speed in prologue i think the ferrari games were better ,forza 4 will be the ducks nuts of racing on console.
i cant believe he said weather doesnt add anything. he must not have played gt5.
