Forza 4 HD Footage with Fanatec Racing Wheel and Buttkicker Gamer2!

We were lucky enough to get our hands on the Forza Motorsport 4 demo early and play the game with what we dub as "the ultimate racing setup!" The setup includes the Fanatec GT2 911 wheel, Fanatec Clubsport Pedals, and the Buttkicker Gamer2. Watch the video here to see our review of the demo and how the game performed with this ultimate racing setup!

Damn, I can't wait to play the demo tomorrow. The game looks so fun, and just so visually amazing.

Can't wait to try this with my Fanatec wheel.

Amazing stuff! Wish I had that wheel but I'm probably getting the new Forza one. This looks to hands down be the best racing/driving game ever made.

I had to log in just to comment for this. The guy in the video is stupid and misleading.

1. "...the only other games that do 60fps are GT5 and COD." LIES.

2. The car models in the garage/viewer, whatever you want to call it are ultra high res models that you do NOT see while in game play. That should probably be mentioned before too many people get disappointed.

3. I did not like how the real wheel wasnt 1:1 with the in-game representation. Perhaps that was Fanatec's wheel, but GT5 + logitech wheel is spot on 1:1.

4. I'm still buying this stupid game because I like painting cars :-(

mine can do like 800 degrees or something like that

while many racing cars will reach its turning peak at maybe half a turn? just guessing though

now... i think u can probably tune that by adjusting the sensitivity of your wheel

the force feedback should prevent you from turning it so easily more than what the simulation allows for at any given speed. If it doesnt there is a weird disconnect and that is what i was seeing in this video. I will be getting F4 because I have every platform except Wii and get games I want to get. I'm interested in the Top Gear/Jalopnik tie-ins as well as the customization options. I'm also looking forward to the GT5 2.0 update coming this month.

GT5 + Logitech is NOT 1:1, Shift 2 Unleashed is. I dont care for people who will get to be disapointed because of photo mode (autovista) graphics is not "in race", I am happy for people who will enjoy playing F4 and have great fun driving, not looking at polygons. And yes, in autovista mode you can see cars in details, in race that is not important, only driving is important in race. And yes, I dont (!!!) have an X360, only PS3 and GT5, but I would like to.

"GT5 + Logitech is NOT 1:1, Shift 2 Unleashed is." You must not have the same GT5 i have. Anyways, I'm sure shift is sweet. i havent given it a go.

I meant hands in cockpit, in Shift 2 they move like in reality, in GT5 only about 180 degrees. GT5 and Shift 2 both have full 900 degrees wheel response, so no problem there. Shift is different, but very fun.
