Forza 4 |OT| Where Porsche Are Driven

Thanks! That vid has to be one of my favorites just because of how clean the race was, big props to VVV HaulingAsh too, great and fast racer.
Here's another video I've uploaded (this time through T10's very tedious way of doing it lol). It's a good ol' American Muscle race between a C6 Zee-Oh-Six and a Ford GT. That Ford GT loud as hell, beastly sounding... Love the fly-by shots too, love hearing them 2 V8s roar.
Sales on anything else? Like the Horizon rally pack?

No, just the 33 Stradale and the MGB GT for 120MSP each as well as for FM4 Essentials Edition owners the Disc 2 - Autovista Car Pack for 400MSP.

Question, I just stuck in forza 4 after months of not playing it to find all my event list is more or less reset, only about 5 have ticks on when I know in the past I have done a good 30% of them, was there a glitch at some point in an update?
I hate bullshit like that, it even says the beginner races are not complete!

I figured this would be the appropriate thread to put this in, the Wikipedia page for Turn 10 Studios has been vandalised to complain about a lack of support between games.

What support are they expecting, something like GT's endless loop of tinkering, breaking and fixing?
Beside a lack of track DLC I can't see what else there was to add without eating into F5's time and money.

I really hope Turn 10 strike a better balance between car and track DLC for FM5 though. I'm 95% through the career grid on FM4 and just can't bring myself to drive those same old tracks any more. I just can't.

Yup, I posted about this EXACT thing a bit ago. Seriously, I went from having a good amount finished and ticked to having less than 10. I don't even understand how that could have happened since that stuff is all stored on the 360. I wonder how many other people this happened to.
Ouch, I don't even want to check mine now :F
Mine were OK last time I checked a couple of weeks ago. If my grid WAS reset then at least it would make my mind up for me about grinding through the remaining events.
I'd still be SERIOUSLY pissed off about it, though.
Anyone know why it happens?

I haven't heard any response from anyone about it at all. I need to check the official forums, but I can't stand that place. lol I don't think it is widespread but it was VERY disheartening when it happened to me.
It's horrible, isn't it? Seems totally populated by know-it-all circle-jerkers and illiterate kids.

And which mustang is that O merciful mustang overlord? Also, you know for a fact we won't hear anything until E3 or later. As far as Forza 4 info, they are doing a game with dev's next Tuesday.
Sorry to hear this happened, for what it's worth I'll see what I can find out about a probable cause for the issue.

Thank you very much. It is just really weird because I thought most of that stuff was saved on the local hard drive. I hadn't played in a while (probably a month or so) and when I came back I had less than 10 events checked. And there are races that I know I did from the World Tour and such that were no longer checked. Just seems really odd because nothing else seems to be effected. I don't think I lost any cars or money, just progress in the event list.

Man, I haven't played Forza 4 in probably 2 months--I'm hoping that this hasn't happened to me. At the rate I was going, I would finish the events list sometime in 2015...

You should hop on and check. I am curious how many people this is affecting.

Just checked, no problems here.
Same.
Also checked out my stats:
Does time driven include the time test driving and in hotlap mode? Kinda hard to believe I've spent less than 100 hours driving altogether.

I've been playing a lot of Forza 2 and 3 recently and don't like the change of Forza 4's bonnet/bumper camera, it's pointing more toward the floor than ahead.
Is there any way of raising it?
Tried messing with the FoV but it makes no difference.

Forza Horizon is on sale this week at Best Buy for 40 bucks. Is it worth it?

You missed out. A couple weeks ago it was just $30
It's fun gives racing some life blending sim and arcade. At times Forza 4 just feels cold mechanical and lifeless to me.

I just wish Horizon had more content. It is exactly what I wanted in an open world racer, but there just is not nearly enough stuff to do. I keep coming back to Forza 4 because there is more content but I actually WANT to play Horizon more.

If you could have really gone completely off road in Forza Horizon it would've been perfect.
But then they wouldn't have been able to sell Rally DLC
Speaking of which, has that been on sale yet? It's about due, I'd think...

I checked over the weekend. No problems on my file. Sorry about yours man. :\
For those interested, there's a new video/audio file of Nick Wiswell talking about sound.

Really interesting stuff.

Really interesting stuff.
Right guy, wrong racing franchise.
What do you mean wrong franchise?
Edit-
lol, not only do manufacturers have to sign off on cars modeled, but according to Wiswell, some manufacturers are signing off on the sounds of their cars as well!
Also, it's good to hear that they are working on getting the chassis/suspension creak sounds done for their next game.
If anyone is interested there's a good opportunity to win a Unicorn going on right now in a community rivals event involving yours truly.
Basically all you have to do is set a time in the latest Facebook Challenge No.4 rivals event to enter and hope I don't beat a designated time by 6pm GMT (10am PST) today to win a Unicorn. Be quick though, you only have until that time to submit your own laptime to the leaderboards.

Haha, I didn't even read this post until just now, 3:45 pm EST. Guess I missed out. And I only need one unicorn left to complete my collection in Forza 4!
Will there ever be an event where we can choose which unicorn we can receive?
Yeah, you just missed it :/

Keep an eye out for the next Facebook Challenge rivals event as it's likely that we'll let people who beat the challenge pick their own Unicorn again I imagine.

Do I need a Facebook account to enter or just access it through Rivals ingame?
Nah, no FB account is strictly needed. FB is just where we generally post about the events and occasionally get a chatroom going through a twitch app.

Just started putting some real time into this game. Great fun. A looker too. I was experimenting with the photo mode.
Nice shots, but man... I really wish they'd ditch that 22B model from FM2. It's been the same one in FM2-4 and PGR4 and it annoys the shit out of me that the head and taillights STILL look like they're painted on, NASCAR-style.
It's actually not the same model, they keep using the same source material to make the model so the end result is the same.
Hopefully laser scanning will be more common in the future for the series.
I really hope Forza 5 will finally let me have the 1500+ rwhp TT Ford GT I've always wanted.
On another note anyone up for a game tonight? Maybe around 8-9 PM EST?

Great, I'll have to keep my eye out for that event. MINE's R32 here I come!
It's almost here folks! The 2013 MSA TORA TCC & NATCC is about to kick off Tuesday next week! Here's a promotional video from last season and some of the practice runs we ran!

That looks awesome!
Was the reason for the career wipes ever determined?
Imagine my delight earlier today when I booted up FM4 to finally complete the career mode (and get that nice little cheeve), only to be greeted with this:
97% career progress and 120 hours of driving gone in an instant.
Oh how I chuckled ruefully to myself as my Xbox sailed through the window.
thats the wrong game
Yeah, well spotted. I said FM3 instead of FM4.
