Something about cars on track he said that in the take over demo given last year E3 in that same mode he took over 23 cars that is what google translates in.

CBS: In „Forza 3“ sind maximal acht Fahrzeuge auf der Strecke. Da bieten einige Konkurrenten mehr. Warum existiert die Begrenzung? Erhöht sich die Zahl in „Forza 4“?
DG: In der E3-2010-Demo haben wir einen Überholmodus vorgestellt, in dem Sie an einer endlosen Reihe von Fahrzeugen mit einem Ferrari 458 vorbeikommen müssen. Ich habe 23 Autos in eineinhalb Minuten überholt. Aber egal, ob gegen sieben Online-Konkurrenten, allein gegen einen Geist, gegen unzählige Autos im neuen Überholmodus oder gegen einen Freund auf der Couch: Unser Ziel war es immer, ein tolles Fahrerlebnis zu bieten. Das bedeutet für uns: 60 Bilder pro Sekunde, eine schöne Grafik mit dynamischer Cockpit-Perspektive, eine hochwertige Simulation mit Schaden und eine Netzwerktechnik, die Fahrer gleicher Fähigkeitsstufen schnell zu aufregenden Online-Rennen zusammenbringt. Dieses Ziel ändert sich mit „Forza 4“ nicht – egal, wie viele Autos auf der Strecke sind.

Ok, so he leaves it up to us to guess whether we've seen more cars on track for regular races, or that we've seen something like the 24 cars on track in the overtake mode that they showed as a Kinect 'minigame'

Could that be the Top Gear track by the way? It's certainly a Top Gear type camera

Would be nice if we could get a decent look at the game before E3. Waiting to find out more about this to see if I pick this or another racer up this year.

Does top gear use the same type of vignette?

Thanks for the thread prune, AIStrong.

And GAF is never wrong.

Ever.

Actually I believe so because if you check the original April 1st trailer, you will notice that in one of the scenes there is another area that looks like the Top Gear Test Track. I was convinced that that was the Top Gear track
I am surprised that no one ever noticed it in the first trailer and mentioned it so far

 

[nintenho]

Forza 3 had some Top Gear promotion in it too. I wouldn't be surprised if they feel it's necessary to put that track in now that GT5 has it. I heard that the TG track is pretty boring though so it'll be kind of useless for anything other than Kia Cee'd lap times.

The Ultimate Edition of Forza 3 had the Top Gear promotion on it and it was something that was designed to be an ongoing tie-in as far as I remember. So a TG test track in F4 is a bit of a no brainer. The test track is a figure-of-eight so I guess that could make it slightly less boring than normal.

 

[Cheezdoodles]

The test track is fun, but you cannot have races with more cars than a couple there. The 8 track means the last pack of the field will crash with the front as the road intersects

 

[poopypoo]

Mind providing a provable link? ...

I'm happy to see this here. I am a big fan of F3 and F2, but not a Forza forumgoer. So I have no idea what these guys could be on about when they say F3's driving is less realistic than F2. Rewind aside, I think F3 with assists off feels a LOT more like driving than F2.

 

[Nesh]

so are the assists there or not?

 

[dragonelite]

Doesn't really matter only purist are being stubborn about it the moment they found out. But to be sure Turn10 is going to implement a non assist difficulty level atleast the leaked video suggested that or was it a other source not sure.

 

[dragonelite]

So more hints at rally in forza 4

My kinect is ready for it.
Im so weak saw a kinect for sale for 80 euro.

 

[poopypoo]

I'll never understand a new Ferrari as cover art. Can anyone even tell them apart? So boring. ^^

Models, lighting and dof look great, but i still think they didnt nail reflections and materials, looks more like plastic than metal too me. Still great improvement over Forza 3, i'm really interested in E3 trailer showcase.

BTW textures seem to be higher resolution on cars, do You think they will allow higher resolution of custom layers?

Isn't the paint reflecting stuff not the metal under it.
When i now look outside window the washed/waxed car looks right like that and the dirty car looks like it has a matt finish and reflects almost nothing at all.
