Who is getting this tomorrow then? :)

Apparently it has a car club option for multiplayer, so we should try and get MRC established on there :D

If my xbox wasn\'t dead I would probably have it now. Think I\'ll have to take it to bits again ! It was pre-ordered for the launch of the xbox360 so not the youngest !

To those thinking of getting this.... get it!

The physics are much better than forza 3 and the drifting is great. Generally takes more skill but is very rewarding wheel you get it right

Awesome game - loving it all so far :)

The Forza servers are down ATM so not yet created the MRC club...

I have a confession to make... I just bought Forza, I don\'t even have an Xbox...



Thankfully my mate does, so just spent the last 3 hours playing it, driver level 7 and the 3rd season already. Will hopefully be buying a console later today if I can find anyone that stocks them cheap that is open.

does anyone know anywhere I can find a steering wheel with pedals, clutch and H pattern gears? anything i do find is either for the damned PC or damned playstation.
Title: Forza 4
Post by: Brett on October 16, 2011, 06:37:05 AM
I noticed that game has started selling thrust masrter steering wheels... although generally most stuff is paddle shift.  You will need a pedal box with a clutch....

Post by: jamison1982 on October 16, 2011, 09:09:53 AM

Sounds awesome... Have you added yourself to the xbox section in the members area?
Title: Forza 4
Post by: Skifledanabit on October 16, 2011, 11:04:14 AM
The thrust master wheel I believe only works with PC and PS3

Ok a couple of bits, first off, gamer tag is Skifle, secondly, the bloke in best buy has contact emails for American companies that make steering wheels with 3 peddle sets and h box gears, he\'s going to make some enquiries and email me.

ugh, been trying to learn how to drift in game, not having fun, anyone got any general settings to go by? I\'m using an FC3S if it makes any difference, also, what tracks are good to practice on?
Title: Forza 4
Post by: wheelynutz on October 17, 2011, 12:35:56 AM
I got Forza 4 on the 14th and luv it :Thumbs-up
I haven\'t started drifin on it yet as its slightly more skilled the forza 3 but i\'ll have a go in time.
I think it more realistic than forza 3 and my rex\'s and mx5\'s flame :D
And you can go round the topgear test track :)
I\'ll join up to the club bit as well brett so keep a look out for xxx JCRIBBY xxx
What i also like is when you do races and build your car level up you can get 100% discounts on parts from that manufacturer so you can tune your car for free :Thumbs-up
Already got 2 modded FC\'s, 1 modded FD and a rotary powered MX5 :burnout

generally put a diff in it and make it lock by like 100%

Easiest car I\'ve got to drift if the older soarer. Don\'t strip it or put a cage in it. Just give it lots of power and suspnesion and a diff (don\'t uprate the brakes, no need). Then give it a load of power untill its a class A. Because its nice and heavy its dead stable and a lot easer to drift, If you\'re struggling keeping it sideways put more pressure in the rear tyres.

I havn\'t tried an fc yet, but going on forza 3 I doubt its easy

Post by: Brett on October 17, 2011, 12:33:28 PM
The Soarer is the only reason I paid for the limited edition :Giggle

I swear I saw you lexus in crawley a few weeks back Brett.
I saw the vids on youtube of it then waiting for the bus, I heard something that was madly loud looked round and it was an ls400 and think it also had a matt black boot.
I thought it was yours but wasn\'t sure
Title: Forza 4
Post by: dthebuk on October 17, 2011, 03:19:40 PM
slapped a few cars in the garage for yous.

The ae86 is by far the most fun to drift, the fc sounds epic. twin turbo\'d furai engine :D
Title: Forza 4
Post by: Brett on October 17, 2011, 03:49:32 PM

Title: Forza 4
Post by: Brett on October 17, 2011, 07:44:31 PM
The 2.5l twin turbo is even better! As fun as the V8 version is, the TT has an even bigger grin factor :)

You got pics if the V8 Beastie? (prob best to start a new thread)

Get it sorted Shaun! Grinder managed to fix one awhile back, so might be worth talking to him :)
Title: Forza 4
Post by: shaunwil on October 19, 2011, 08:19:39 PM
Just to show its age it was a rev1 of the console ! It was paid for 3 months before they released the console !

I had a guy reflow the board when Forza 3 was released because I got the 3 Red Ring issue !

Just had it to bits and cooked the board with a Hot air gun (that I bought to remove the sound deadening in the FD) and its alive again :D :D

Going to play Forza 3 for a bit to check it won\'t go again straight away and if it stays alive I\'m going to get a copy of Forza 4 :D

Worked fine, Had to do the following :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP--ZqiWY-M&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLFD7AED961A159B1F

Not completely sure about the demo of forza 4 though. Been playing Dirt3 through my PC on my TV with a Nvidia 570GT with everything turned up to max at 1080p and it looks and plays amazing. This actually doesn\'t feel all that detailed !

Would love them to do a high texture PC version !

Sent a request out too, once I\'ve solved the parental controls !!!!

Sorry for the swift exit last night.
 
The Forza servers dumped me out of the race and wouldn\'t let me back in so i called it a night.
 
Should be a couple of good shots of the 3 of us side by side :)
