someone is a little touchy about Forza I think

umad1.jpg

Not even mad.

It was released on time.

I received it on release day.

Everything works.

Every car is fully detailed.

The cars look and sound amazing and drive even better.

The new race types are interesting.

The new online features are cool.

The amount of extra content I received for the LCE appears to be good value.

There is only one down side to Forza 4, it's on Xbox 360 instead of a PC.

and what exactly did you expect to happen? were you expecting to get given the cars, already modded and then race them round like boats? i can garantee you that if you found that aspect of gt5 boring then you will find the next installment of forza boring as it will simply be a jazzed up version of the previous one.

I recently bought a PS3 and GT5, coming from Forza 3 on an xbox 360. Forza shits all over GT5 in the modification and tuning department... put individual parts on that make sense, rather than "stage 4", you can adjust almost every adjustable part on the car to your liking, including tire pressure. In GT5 it's just packages, and 3 sorts of tires you can get. PLUS, you can't even modify a RIDICULOUS amount of cars. The modifiable ones have to be "premium". I didn't know wtf was going on when I first played it, it was pretty disappointing. Also, there's no damage in GT5, and the cars that do have the ability to be damaged can be put into a wall at 150 and come out with a bit of a bent front bar.

Forza > GT5

I still like the PS3 way more than I liked my 360, though. With my 360 it wouldn't matter what car I was driving on forza, if I didn't have the TV volume cranked, you could be forgiven if you thought a supercharged V8 was the only engine sound in the game. The 360 was so loud, lol.

im liking the fact you can remove stock spoilers on most cars like the 33 thumbsup.gif

also the sounds this time round are heaps better also has notable changes in sound when doing upgrades

(vids off a tv so sound is crappy but you can tell there better this time

^^^ That + customisation that is actually decent, the ability to upgrade all cars, and damage just owns GT5... The graphics look way better than GT5 anyway, on GT5 if you zoom into the car, the doors have like THICK jaggies on them. Forza never had that in number 3 or 2. This new forza looks so much better. I am actually considering buying an Xbox just to play it again.

That looks ridiculously good.

I haven't played GT5 in aaages so I don't really have a bias to either, but looking at the Gallardo clip of Forza 4, how can you guys say that the physics engine is better than GT5?

both left wheels on the grass whilst turning right at 100mph without the car getting unsettled? Realistic physics? Also for the amount of crashing he does, there is no more damage on the Gallardo at the end of the clip than there would be in GT5.

btw, I really wanted GT5 to be more than it is and would love Forza 4 to be the perfect car game and make me get a 360, but I just don't see it.

that looks more like nfs than forza!

are there physics/realism options?

exaclty what I was going to ask, does it show what settings he is using?

Yeah there is no way he has the settings on simulation in that.

lol lol lol ok watched the whole thing, kid is using rewinds, says it all.

anyone else find double-clutching heaps easier now? i have the controller buttons on preset 11 (if that makes sense), and its a breeze.

i may as well put gt5 on ebay or something, as theres no way i can go back to it now, which is a shame because i put some decent hours into that game :glare:

not using a wheel, bet he has all the aids on as well, can't judge how the physics are without a wheel and all the aids off

Secondly, I was lucky enough to score Forza 4 from Harvey norman yesterday :) ....All I can say is, they have NAILED it once again. The only difference this time is its very, very hard to find a fault in the physics!? They are literally spot on!! Very similar to Live for Speed Physics but better.

using a wheel? you can't compare the physics between different games without using a wheel

GT5 physics are shit and even worse when drifting, got over that stuff real fast because i mainly drift when playing sims

iracing and live for speed (LFS for the drifting) are the 2 best sims out there by far and i doubt even Forza will get near them with a wheel, would love to have a wheel for the xbox and see how good the physics in Forza 4 are but don't feel like paying $500 + atm for a fanatec wheel

anyone else think that forza fans are like apple fans?

the fanboi's for both GT5 and Forza are the biggest retards :laugh:

minus it sucking that i don't have a wheel for the xbox,drag racing still being stupid even with the new drag slicks because of lack of grip, not being able to change wheel offset, exhaust (on some cars) and the R32 model being fail suck big time i'm liking Forza, drifting is better then Forza 4 and racing is pretty fun, rivals mode is great fun

anyone else find double-clutching heaps easier now? i have the controller buttons on preset 11 (if that makes sense), and its a breeze.

why would you be double-clutching? not to mention you can't even really do it in Forza unless you have the fanatec wheel and H shifter

I stopped playing iRacing just after the NTM came out, really should get back into it, but it gets so fkn expensive after a while when trying to run in a full round.

LFS physics aren't that crash hot, even GT5 is better than LFS now (it was tip top all those years ago tough)

GT5 is a real driving sim.

Forza 4 is a driving sim for everybody.

Forza is too arcade like for me. Physics in GT5 are better, if you cant drift in GT5 then you dont practise enough. I can tsuiso basically every track. Feels like the car is on ice in F4 compared to GT5.

Forza 4 graphics and sound quality are awesome, GT5 have alot of catching up to do sound wise.

Having played both back to back this morning I like driving GT5 more.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
