Default Forza 4 - the best yet ?

So from what I have read, Forza 4 has got custom public lobbies in the multiplayer so you don't have to just race your friends like you did in 3!

So what do you reckon guys? Is it going to be the best yet?

Not sure about this Kinect milarky but if it has got a good multiplayer then I'm sold on it

Does looks good from what I have seen .........only a few weeks left......

There was nothing wrong with Forza3 other than it was really not better than Forza2..........which again was not really that much better than Forza. Same ol' ****e every year with new cars and flashy new graphics. I suspect Forza4 will follow this trend.

Love the game but I need more new real life tracks.

Forza 4 is a game i'll definately be buying.

Have no interest in the Kinect side to the game.

Forza 3 was a huge jump from 2. Realism was much better.
I'm looking forward to forza 4

Agree with that. Then F1 2010 came out and really showed how racing games should be made.
I think I will try a demo of Forza 4 first before stumping up the cash.

Forza is just to realistic for me, if I want to understeer round a corner I'll go out and do it myself

I dont think F1 2010 was anything special tbh

this has got to be a joke, F1 was the glitchest game known to man.

They ****ed the pit stops up good and proper

It was a good game but the pitstops made me go nuts. Pull into the pits in first and come out in 14th, i nearly smashed my monitor up for that.

Looked forward to forza 4 I just wished it had more UK tracks. I'm bored of silverstone.

I thought the mod fixed the pitstop problem? Well it did on my game anyway.
Never have any glitches now.

It doesn't just need more UK tracks, it needs more real tracks in general. The made up tracks are pretty crap and there is only so many times you can race the same track in Forza1/2/3 in different variations before it gets slightly dull.

Seen Forza 4 in action (Top Gear US did a Forza 4 vs Reality race) looks amazing.
Don't forget Forza 4 will have the Top Gear track too (although racing it in GT5 showed it was nothing special).
The Kinect stuff is bollox, just MS insisting their top games all have some kind of integration in hope that it'll shift more Kinect units.
Forza 3 had a load more tracks than Forza 2, here's hoping F4 has even more.

I thought the majority of the tracks were real tracks? So my mate told me anyway, i take it their not then?

rFactor is the best racing sim at the moment.
The physics are as close to real world as you can get at the moment. Several F1 teams use a version of the rFactor engine for their simulators.

rFactor 2 is due out next year, or perhaps even towards the end of this year.

rFactor is also brilliant for people who like to play around with code. I have a couple of cool cars. You can basically build anything you want from a 100kg box racer to a 10 tonne truck.

what it needs is a new blimming steering wheel; broke my MS one and don't want to pay Fantec prices for a replacement...read about an official force feedback Madcatz wheel but can't seem to find it for sale anywhere?!?

Any suggestions anyone?!

it's bloody MS Jura...no USB support on the xbox and you have to have an official force-feed back license or it just uses rumble pack type vibrations
wheel wasn't cheap but should be amazing
