Forza 4 hands-on preview: GameCentral takes to the track

Turn 10’s latest installment of Forza Motorsport was formally announced at last year’s E3 and has slowly been gathering pace as racing fans count down the days to October 14, the game’s official release date in Europe. Metro was invited down to the Top Gear test track at Dunsfold for a hands-on preview of a host of the game’s new features.

I'm really looking forward to Forza 4, it looks amazing.

BlmThug4683d ago

What i love most about Forza 4 is the car list is diverse meaning theirs different types of cars for everyone

Ducky4683d ago (Edited 4683d ago )

... Do they have a three-wheeler?

I'm a three-wheeling kind of guy.

zootang4683d ago

Do they have Karts or Nascar or F1???

Boletarian4683d ago

zootang, if you love GT5 so much then why aren't you playing it right now?

Maybe because you derive more enjoyment from being a nuisance on the internet? In which case maybe gaming isn't really your thing; it's just a topic you feel you can truly engage your trolling in.

MOTY4683d ago (Edited 4683d ago )

Why would a game called "Forza" which is latin for "Force or Strength" have Go-karts in it? You can create your own NASCAR in Forza http://www.youtube.com/watc... since Forza is unrivaled with the amount of mechanical and physical customization you can do with cars on a console and who cares about F1 when codemasters are giving you the best F1 racing game on consoles? Forza has Le Mans...does GT5 have Le Mans? NO, so why even bother bring up other race types?

Go-Karts, Nascar and F1, ALL meaningless racing types in GT5. Nobody cares about Go-Karts, NASCAR cars are limited in GT5 while in Forza you can create your own NASCAR and not have it PRE-MADE....as well as you can actually and properly customize the NASCAR IN Forza physically and Mechanically while you CAN'T in GT5. And if F1 was really a huge deal to me, I wouldn't waste my time with the limited F1 cars in GT5, I would just buy Codemasters F1 game.

In a single word...Forza is just...well...perfect for what can be done on a single console and only gets better. Turn 10 have created a new racing sim KING and it's name is FORZA.

Expect more comments to follow in the days to come when Forza is released like this one.

"Forza 4 is sure please fans of the series by tweaking the tried-and-tested formula and providing one of the most realistic driving experiences around. New features such as Kinect integration and the utterly unsubtle Top Gear tie-in may keep casual players interested for longer, but the focus remains on the cars and tracks, which should see Forza 4 ruling the racing roost for years to come."

What I love is tuning a mediocre car into a good racer, or a good racer into an outstanding racer. Tweaking suspensions and transmissions or modifying engine setups just can't be beat for providing a sense of satisfaction when you put them to use.

JellyJelly4683d ago (Edited 4683d ago )

That's what I love most about Forza. You can take a weak compact car, throw in a big tuned V8 engine, slam on 4WD drivetrain and completely overhaul it cosmetically.

Haven't had as much fun with a racing game since Streetrod for the PC/Amiga (yeah I'm old, big whoop, wanna fight about it?)

Dread4683d ago

relax dude. lol

I have also been playing since the early 80's

ironwolf4683d ago

Youngsters. I've been playing since Pong was first introduced.

I don’t get why anyone would post anything Xbox positive on this site. Ballsy though.

anast222d ago

You actually get it though, right?

GhostScholar222d ago

I’m not really a sim racing fan so I really don’t know. I love the forza horizon series though so I’m sure I’ll still get hate for saying that lol

anast221d ago (Edited 221d ago )

@ Ghost

I enjoy the console war stuff as entertainment, but, like what you like and make no excuses. Horizon is Xbox's strongest series at the same time I am shocked that Motorsport bombed this hard.

Flawlessmic222d ago

Ohhhh helllll noooo!!!

It's the worst part of the bloody game, actually ruins it a lot!!

IRetrouk222d ago

I need whoever wrote this to choose a new hobby.

CrimsonWing69222d ago

I’ve heard nothing but bad about this game from consumers. It’s weird how the media outlets seem to live the sh*t out of it. I think they maybe don’t have their fingers on the pulse with this one.

I think that's a good idea tbh give it a min.

Flawlessmic350d ago

Or they could do what gt does, content drops monthly with new cars, tracks, races, updates all for free and still working on the next gt at the same time.

Just saying.

XiNatsuDragnel350d ago

Rather new experiences and new IPs than always Forza imo.

Flawlessmic350d ago

Um did you read the article lol

There no gonna work on new games they are gonna make forza live service and just update the same game for who knows how long rather than giving a proper new version every couple of yrs.

KingKionic 350d ago

Turn10 have a plan to support Forza Motorsport for 10 years. Makes sense and them announcing
that the new career mode has service features built in directly to put tracks and cars in which line up with there vision.

Inverno350d ago

Yeah sure, so many devs keep promising these "service" like games that they can't commit to. Let's see how long they can hold peoples attention before they scrap this idea and just release another numbered game.

DaniMacYo350d ago

Live service LMAO. Like that’s ever been a great idea. Not a single game out there with a live service that’s lived up to it’s original promise. Live service is just an excuse for devs to drip feed content, scrap it after two years and say we are working on the next entry. But hey, it’s all free content so why you complaining lol.

moomoo319349d ago

Nah there are successful live service games that people enjoy. Deep rock galactic. FFIV. Rocket League. Etc.. its just when they take beloved single player games and convert them to nickle and dime bullshlaka fests.

Top 10 Rarest Cars in Forza History

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.
