I dont know if its just me, but with 3 I was getting a slightly arcadish feel on how the car slights and behaves on road, although it is pretty challenging and demands same skill to other sim racers out there. Probably its one of those games that feel differemtly with a steering wheel? I never played it with one because MS sucks ass when it comes to third party peripheral support

The game had a assist you could not disable.
And im with you on the steering wheel they should release a 150 euro range wheel for forza4.

I believe this was the video showing it
A fake, simply a fake.
I'm going to have to see if I can replicate when I have a chance. It's been my experience that, given the limited range lock-to-lock of the the 360 wheel turning the wheel that much, that quickly, should be resulting in much sharper and more violent turns than what that video is showing. It looks like he's driving a bus!

One thing the game will have a real no assist mode.
I would trade hollywood effects for a windshield any day of the week. Doubt we'll get it though. 
Yeah with some graphically impressive games coming out this year, I thought that claim was hyperbolic.

Oooh if only PR had to eat my shoe whenever they said something silly.
Buying all of those shoes would get way too expensive.
No one said the shoe had to start out as new.
They could just have better LOD management/creation. The replays are a moot point to some extent, being limited to 30fps and all, but the worst case scenarios are the start of the race and far-angle camera view in-game. Even then, fitting 16 vehicles such that each take up significant amounts of screen is a rather difficult thing to do. So it'd have to come down to smarter use and displaying of polys rather than necessarily pushing significantly more. I mean, just to take an extreme example, if you're in last place and the 15 cars are lined up down the road, the car in first place doesn't really need a whole lot of polys. And who knows, maybe they have a better occlusion culling scheme for the cars themselves (cars blocking cars).
The bigger concern I would think would be RAM.

Or they could just use Lionhead's Mega Mesh, because it lets you display billions of polygons in-game
Disclaimer:
Mega Mesh does not allow you to display billions of polygons in-game.

I can already see the headlines on n4g.
Turn10 and Lionhead are sharing tech, forza4 to render a billion polygons a car all in realtime.
Hiphopgamer?!
What do you mean?

Contrast/saturation touch ups in photoshop on a single image may not be translated into video rendering because that requires changing entire lighting equation.
In 3D video rendering a lighting system has to work across a range of situations. The specific contrast/saturation choices you made for this particular image may not work for another image. In fact, you can try this experiment.
1. Record all changes (steps, variables and parameters) you made to this image.
2. Publish what exact steps you made.
3. Select 3 other images from Forza 3 with different setting (location, lighting, objects, etc)
4. Apply the changes to those images using exact same steps, variables and parameters.
5. Publish before and after for all images for us to see.

Input lag is massive
What brand is the wheel. I cannot believe that Forza 3 (60fps) has that much input lag unless there is a wheel problem. I played this game at my friend's house last year and do not remember so much lag.
