yeah the graphics from what ive seen in the demo are excellent and the handling is spot on,the customization options in forza 3 were great but here they look even better.thrashing a mini cooper round the top gear test track will be fun,ive pre ordered it as well,got it for 34.99 which aint bad so close to release.the damage modelling on the cars looks good as well,far superior to the laughable damage on gran turismo 5.:D

I was a bit disappointed by Forza 3 so I'm in two minds about getting this. I think I'll see what kind of reviews it gets. I thought the single player game a bit dull, and online everyone wants to drive the same most powerful car. No chance if you want to race a MINI against the group S cars

I’ve not got a PS3 or Xbox but I nearly got one last year just to play I’m sure it was F3 after playing it on Xmas day with a wee one. I thought feck this is absolutely stunning driving against each other in rain on a massive TV.

Trying to resist buying a console over that of a badly needed new PC to play BF3:thumbs up:

Mmm could have been a GT game one of the online games was tag on the race track if that makes sense....

Been meaning to pickup BF3 for ages. Still love the BF1943 arcade on xbox. Superb game for the money

:motoring:gran turismo is like a clinical procession compared to forza,its too heavily focused on japanese cars and great scenery rather than racing.the ai is next to non existent and the damage modelling is nothing short of a joke.(hit a wall at 150 mph an you bounce off with a scratch on your door)lol,the custom paint and decal designs on forza are superior too as is the engine note.forza wins easily.:motoring:

Never been a huge fan of GT, the handling ont he cars never felt 'right' it was always a bit false... Forza on the other hand has a better balance between arcade and sim. Been loving F3 th e whole time I've had it, and it certainly loks like I'll be getting the next one at some point! JCW racing on the 'Ring FTW!! :D:D

a mini racing clan should be setup,minis only that you can customize to a set level then setup private races,sounds good to me.

Just installed my Forza4 Collectors Edition disk 1 and 2. I have to say the game looks far better than F3 only little niggles I have so far is that the JCW has spotlights and not a facelift :ragin: and that I cant find the new M5 nor 1M :ragin::ragin:

loving forza 4,only slight niggle would be the lack of new tracks,the majority have been played before,ah well,back to mini thrashing.

is anyone a member of a car club in forza? might be worth setting one up for members of this site to share cars,tuning tips etc.:idea:

Yip, that's be great, but I don't really have the room, or a table I'd want to clamp it to ;) I'd rather lounge about of the sofa with the wireless one! :D ;)

i also wonder how good the wireless wheel would be,its all about responsiveness i guess,ive been grinding away with the controller but would much prefer a decent wheel,if anyone knows of a decent one let me know please,cheers :motoring:

still racing away on it,at level 125 and trying to get to 150,add me for some mini racing :motoring:,CHERRY FOAM gamertag,this is a top game but its let down by a glitch in the online lobbys which makes the game freeze,:ragin:,theres been thousands of complaints but as yet no patch to fix it.maybe see you online for a race sometime.:thumbs up:

mate you are very lucky and definitley in the minority,im on it almost nightly and see it happen every night where lobbys freeze,crash and theres major lag.theres been thousands of complaints about these issues to the games makers turn 10.the cursing from everyone in the lobby when they realise that its crashed yet again letting only one player into the race is comical.rumours are that the game engine cant handle the larger 16 player online lobbys very well.i had no problems with forza 3 nor do i have any problems with any other online games so this is infuriating as im a big fan of the game.

New porsche pack just released.30 models (mostly variations of the 911 model).cost is 1600 points or 1200 if your a vip.included are various achievements and porsche cups.

bullet

bought the porsche pack,some of the models are cool others such as the panamera are pointless in a game like this,dissapointing thing is that quite a few of the racing models are rehashes of cars from previous forzas in exactly the same liverys no less.1600 ms points is at the top end though if you are a vip you get the pack for 1200 points.my personal fave is the 73 911 carrera,gorgeous.:drool:

one car that i have found to be very quick that is not leaderboard material is the ford pinto,great handling and accelaration,im sure the engine from this car was used in the mk1 escort,i may be wrong though,it will give most cars up to A class a serious run for there money as long as the track is small to medium,putting it on a track like road america would see it getting blown away for pace.ive won quite a few races with it,as for my mini ive got the jcw 10 also,i found its handling to not be as good as the 03 though it has much better accelaration,i also have the mini clubman,its basically the same as my jcw when upgraded for handling etc. if you fancy a mini head to head sometime send me a freind request and will add you.my tag is p MAD HATTER q :motoring:
