Forza Motorsport 4/Horizon Challenge, General, and Discussion Mega-Thread

It's been nearly a month since our last event and the release of Forza Horizon. The hype for Horizon seems to have died soon after the release with the hammering of the DLC and quick completion. Without a doubt, there are glorious moments when you're just cruising around online, but I don't think it's as much fun as we expected.

So putting my negativity aside, we've got WATS3 taking place tomorrow back on Forza 4. It's some good ol' Aussie V8 Supercar battling with them Holden's and Ford's. You bogans know where the rules are posted and how to get in the lobby. Just going to say it once more so you know - don't be a Bowman you cunts.

Back-up of our Forza Motorsport threads as of 11-16-12 - http://www.mediafire.com/?h6spiv3m6bfj2x1

>>
>>7133622

They compile the fastest times from each event from every member in the club and throw them in the 'Club Leaderboard'. Obviously faster laps are lower times.

Just an example, two events - Oggy has better time than Hachi in one and Hachi has better than Oggy. Forza would take Oggy's faster time in the other event and Hachi's in the one he did better in and combine them to towards whatever category it's in ( like Gold Wristbands or whatever ).

>>
>>7133821

There is expected to be a Forza 4 Ultimate Collection or some such thing with all the DLC included released at some point. In the past this has been a year after the original launch of the title but no solid word yet, probably because of the Horizon DLC schedule. At this point I would guess maybe early next year, since if it were to be before christmas you'd think it would have been announced already.

Anyway if you've held out thusfar it would probably be worth it to wait for that, in the past it's been the full game plus all DLC for $20.

Who else wants Mount Panorama added? Sick of lowering myself to playing Shift 2 for that delicious downhill hairpin onto the back straight.

I also had a look for nearby racetracks to prove a point to the girlfriend. There are 3 publicly listed racetracks in Victoria. One doesn't have a website and the other two never have public track days, excepting the car clubs that pay a metric shitton to rent out the track for an afternoon.

No wonder there's so many hoons around.

Everyone wants Mount Panorama. Bathurst and Spa are probably the two biggest glaring holes in Forza's track inventory. One of the biggest reasons I hope Forza 5 is on the next console is for more disk space and hopefully thus more tracks.

For those that don't know, while Forza has a second disk full of cars and free track DLC and whatnot, Microsoft mandates that the CORE GAME EXPERIENCE must be on a single disk. Because they sold hard drive free arcade systems a while back, they're committed to not forcing you to install a game to play in case you have no HDD. So Forza is shackled around only being able to put bonus extra content or whatever on disk 2, which basically means extra cars, but all the tracks they use in the campaign mode and all the core cars used for single player must be on disk one in case a user doesn't have the hard drive or live or any of that shit that you basically need to enjoy the game. This dumbass space restriction above all else is the reason that the track list is so small. It's also why the long Amalfi Coast was removed to make room for Infineon and Indianapolis and Hockenheim and whatever else.

So basically as long as Forza is on the Xbox 360 we're not going to get a much bigger track list.
>>
>>7133912
Its going to be in GT6, not sure about FM5 though. I dont care for it, hate it in Shift 2.
>>
>>7133951
It's shit to drive on in shift 2 because the cars point twice as far into a corner than they actually turn.
>>
>>7133945
They could remove Maple Valley to put in Spa and that Swiss one for Mount Panorama. Those tracks suck compared to Spa and Bathurst
>>
>>7133945
I don't think FM4 needs a bigger track list. It needs tracks that aren't flat wide megaplexes designed with a ruler.

But I guess they need to cater to the talentless core demographic who like to build 1000hp cars and can't even manage a corner in a 100hp one.

>>7133955

More/new tracks would be nice but the biggest thing for me in FM5 will be customization. they need to add more things, like bringing back the Forza rear bumper with the Venturi tunnels for more downforce, different wings or bumper designs that are adjustable, and the ability to works a car like GT and Shift have, that is the biggest thing that bugs me in FM4. I want to be able to make my own racer, not just buy one that have a programmed name and number that cant be changed

I hate when you upgrade to race weight reduction and the car ends up heavier than a race car of the same type. Though I think GT5 did it dumbly as well. 10 race spec cars, 3 vettes, 2 camos, 5 nissans or something close to that.

Word up. Since they keep adding cars that are slower than F100 can account for T10 has been talking about adding a G class or possibly even an H class in Forza 5. Dem delicious slow ass classics and shitboxes, I can hardly wait. In Forza 3 I had a big collection of F100 cars for no apparent reason but there are just too many sitting at F100 in F4.

Pretty much all this. Also more god damn Australian cars.

All the modern ones we've ever had has been two HSVs, one being a limited run special edition, then the Ford Falcon XB.

Would love some modern Falcons to go with the modern Commodores, and then a pile of oldies. I'd be happy with a Chrysler Valiant, a Falcon XR GT, a Falcon XY Phase 3, a 350GTS Monaro, an A9X/SS/SLR5000 Torana, and then the VL Group A. Even a British Leyland P76 for shits and giggles.

Also, what happened to all the tuner cars from Forza 2 like the AB Flug Supra, TommyKaira Impreza et al. and all the SCCA Cars from Forza 3 like the Tiger Racing Mustang, Whelen Engineering C5 Z06, Champion Audi RS6 et al.?

Wouldn't mind the re-introduction of U Class too.

>Wishful thinking
>>
>>7134066
Staggered starts means that they aren't bunched up and being stupid.

The lead car leaves the line more than half a minute ahead of you, so you and your friends are basically racing through traffic, with only minor speed advantage.

It's a lot more fun if the track is "full" and it's fun to pretend you're at a vintage sports car race or similar. Racing a handful of old slow cars on a huge track isn't as fun without some additional furniture on the race track. Favorite choice is an E class MGB Twin Cam. Do your best not to have any car to car contact.

It's the only thing I do online anymore besides play tag in the Vandura or the big old Caddy.

Still plugging away at completing all the races in the career mode on single player.

Gonna wait and see if more DLC drops for Horizon, borrowed that game and thought it was too short.
>>
>>7134104

There is an assload of DLC planned for Horizon. I think there's a car pack planned for Dec. 4th and some sort of "rally expansion pack" on the 18th. It's actually the main reason I didn't buy Horizon- seemed like not enough game, you pay $60 for the first half and buy the second half later as DLC. My hunch was that by the start of December most if not all of /o/ would basically have done all there was to do in Horizon and would be sitting around waiting on that expansion pack. We'll see.
>>
>>7134089
Id rather new cars like the Delta Wing, TS030, new Lola models, etc. Im not one for street cars in these games if I cant turn them into a race car. Id be happy to get rid of Autovista to make room for more vehicles and tracks though, or more tuning options like more fine tuning of what we already have such as boost pressure, waste gate pressures, etc. I think it would be fun to have a TS010 with a closed wastegate making 1050hp and go for a spin around Circuit de La Sarthe
>>
>>7134128
What I really want is time trial rallies, where the goal is to average precisely the speed limit over various stages, and perhaps with some bracket racing at the end (IE racing for consistency on closed course, lap times being tiebreakers).

Took my Fiero to one of those two years ago, and while it turns out that it cost way more than I anticipated (especially lodging, fuck you no campgrounds), and I decided I couldn't afford to do it these last two summers, it was so fun that I was considering doing things like selling plasma to raise the money, until I determined that the nearest plasma donation center is 40 minutes from my house or work, and thus I'd make basically no money doing so, and other projects ate up my free time and disposable income.

I'll do it again sometime, and hopefully in something classier, like a big Healey or a early vette (a fella can dream, can't he?).

I gotta say when I first saw the episode of Top Gear where they participate in this, I got a whole ton of feels (so sue me for not watching them religiously and catching it on the original air date).
>>
>>7134172
I'd love to take my car on a road rally, even if it wouldn't be competitive.

So many open roads outside Melbourne, they could shut 10km of them and the only people who would be affected would have farms so large they'd just exit somewhere else.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the heads up. I haven't owned a console in some years, mostly played computer games, but my main computer shit the bed, I'm getting back into fighting games, so I just thought I'd pick a console up, don't really need another built up computer at the moment.

The Delta Wing would be definitely interesting to see, same for the TS030. Actually, would like to see some of the older Pescarolos too.

For me, racing game devs have majorly missed the boat on Australian Produced cars. Such a colorful and steeped history.
>>
>>7134022

Defo needs more customisation. Especially interior. Rollcage + missing seat doesn't = race modifed. Especially when you get into cars that have Nav systems and the like. Really, so you gutted the entire interior and took out the passenger seat, but decided to leave the entire dashboard with all electricals, all the doorcards, the carpets, sometimes leaving the backseat and basically everything that you'd throw in the trash if you were building a racer in real life? And you even kept the stock steering wheel even though it's probably heavy as fuck compared to a simple Sparco one? Right... The works idea could fit in perfectly with that too, so you could remove everything you would if you were just building a track car (big obvious shit) and have the works conversion replace EVERYTHING with lightweight stuff. Thin metal dash with all the vents and stuff removed or covered, sheet metal doorcards, an actual race seat, fire extinguisher, huge sequential gear shifter sticking up and basically an interior that's similar to the actual race cars in the game.
>>
>>7134207

>2/2, didnt realise i typed this much. lol insomnia

I'd love for them to have a basic interior colour customisation option aswell. I can't be the only one who hates having all cars with grey or black interiors. Something similar to Midnight Club LA would be awesome, and something along the lines of TDU2 would be perfect where you have actual factory options to choose from, aswell as making your own.

Also, more refinements to the exterior aswell. Nothing like "i want 100 bodykits for every car", just something simple like seeing the intercooler you just added, having the exhaust change instead of having a peashooter on a 1000bhp Datsun, ability to have sidepipes, a blower sticking out of the hood, paintable windows so you can stick numbers on the side or sunstrips on the front and rear, seeing the bigger brakes you added behind the wheels... stuff like that. Would add another layer of immersion to the game I think.

I mean shit, FM5 is coming out on the 720, we definitely need more of everything since they'll most likely be able to handle it. Think FM4+++

>>7134194
Competitiveness is all up to you and your nav, you'd have to be in a clapped out Beetle or something similarly slow to have to drive absolutely flat out and still not make it from checkpoint to checkpoint averaging 55 MPH or 100KMPH or whatever the limit is for the road they chose, so your score is going to depend on how precisely you manage to compensate for the slow portions.

My "team" was in the top 15 (in a field of 40 lol), beating out some much faster cars, and the winners of the event were this team made of two old leathery bastards in a 356 roadster, definitely a slower car. But it could average 55 MPH just fine... Honestly I could have managed most stages in my diesel K blazer, not a fast vehicle by any means.

Hopefully Microsoft won't sell no-HD 720s. That's the reason why Forza 4 is limited in many ways, the whole base game has to fit on one disk.

You know what I'd like? Specific tire choices. Wheels in the bolt patterns they come in. More trim models (why you no V6 Mustang vs FRS race), more old sports cars. More swap choices (why can I only stuff a ZR1 motor in the 53 Corvette? I just want to build a fake 55 corvette with a carb'd and small bore small block).

Of course I'm such a car autist that If they gave me everything I wanted, it'd be a 12 disk game and cost a thousand dollars.
>>
>>7134198
Pescarolos will never be in FM as long as they're sponsored by GT and Playstation. I would like to see the Falcon and Commodore street cars in the game, I quite like the Commodore aesthetically, would be lulzy to have full race-spec utes as well. Too bad boring old Canada has never made any cars worth mentioning on a global scale, we just get whatever the Americans get but with heaters for the winter.
>>
>>7134242

>>7134242

All of us would want something like that I'd imagine lol. Maybe in FM10 on the Xbox 1440 or something will we have every car in existance with 200 real life tracks to choose from, but that's being waaaaaaaaaaayy too optimistic

And yeah, kinda irks me that the swap options in FM4 (if there are multiple) go from "believable but a bit boring" straight to "fucking ridiculous" with seemingly no middle ground. Or just straight ridiculous. I mean really, i can't put a V8 in the E34 M5, but i can throw a V12 from a fucking Le Mans car in there? Why don't we have the the option to fit pretty much any of a manufacturers roster of engines into a car, so long as it's physically possible.

Something else I'd like (and I'm probably alone in this( would be to put less powerful engines in cars so you could use them in a whole new way. Nothing stupid like putting the tarbo 4 cylinder from a SRT4 into a Viper, but maybe shoving a V8 into it instead.

But I'd be happy with a little more on the visual and audible sides of things. Shift 2 and Dirt 3 has amazing sounds on their games, Forza 4 has the engine sounds down to a tee, but not much in the way of other car noises such as exhaust popping, intake noise, turbo fluttering or chattering, making the car significantly louder and with a different tone if it's heavily modded, other cars driving past to be loud as fuck too instead of barely audible, sequential gear whining, banging off the rev limiter and having it sound like the 5th of November on something with a shitload of power etc, and of course the shit i mentioned in my last posts. Basically, it needs to be a bit more refined in some areas.
>>
>>7134301

Or instead of the "less powerful engine swap" idea, just have a system similar to GT5 where you can detune your car to make it fit a certain PI limit, and have several different tyre compounds like Super soft qualifying tires, soft, medium, hard and super hard race tires. I loved those aspects of GT5 as they were well implemented, and made online racing pretty damn competitive with no real "go to" car.

And the lobby idea of GT5 (and Horizon free roam come to mention it). Anyone can join at any time, start driving around on a track day type thing, can change car at any time, change setups, adjust shit, then when everyone is all ready, the host starts the race.

i dont understand why is it so hard to get some tracks in the game..im sure places like willow springs dont charge ass tons for a license to copy.

also forza engine sounds are only good on some cars and the way the get the audio is gay. they put it on a dyno and rev up...get some WOT tracks fags.
>>
>>7134317
i would love a detuning option...like air/fuel restricions also full modeled engine and suspeion, not in the visual aspect but physics wise.

on the example on the suspension...i would like to break a control arm or component as easily as they do in real life. also if you like jumping you car your suspension will break from the excessive load.

Doing time trials or lap practice on a track? Then some people can join in and do laps as well. Disable the collision if you have to, but I hate spending an hour on tsukuba and realising i'm completely alone, just me and my ghost pitcrew.

Someone on here posted a while back about why they think there isn't any track DLC for FM4, and it made a lot of sense. Basically, it costs too much for them to go out there, scan the track, take pics, spend months compiling all that data, model the track and then release it if they're not guaranteed to make that money back. Not when they could create car pack after car pack, which takes considerably less time, effort and money and would hold more profit. Think about it, if you don't have the track DLC, you can't race there or look at it, period. This excludes a lot of people who don't have it from using it, and even sometimes excludes people who DO have the track DLC from using it if they can't find anyone else who has it aswell. Now thing about what happens when you don't have a car pack. You get a black Jetta appearing as a void car instead of the actual car they're using, and it rarely makes much difference to the gameplay.

You only have to look at how Newburgerking GP DLC turned out for FM3. I bought it, drove it maybe twice, and never touched it again. It wasn't included in any online hoppers, or event list races, making it essentially useless.
>>
>>7134360
Thats what I figured about the lack of tracks. The only way it could work well is if they release them for free and would be a massive waste of money unless they just make their own tracks.
>>
>>7134366

This is why I sort of wish EA and T10 were on speaking terms so that they could maybe share some of their content with each other, but that would be like 2 of the best racing drivers in a race series driving for seperate teams agreeing to share victories each race, aka never ever ever EVER gonna happen in a million years. It's a shame, cuz Shift 2 has Bathurst and bunch of other tracks i'd like to see on FM4 yet has one of the worst physics engines I've ever played on, rendering it unplayable for me.

Not sure if this is common knowledge to guys outside of the sim community, but both Shift games were sabotaged internally by Slightly Mad Studios at the last minute as a subtle "fuck you" to EA. The 9/10's the game received from all major review sites is absolute proof EA pays off reviewers, yet it didn't blow up or even make headlines because racing games have that little of a fanbase compared to generic shooter/rpg 6 or whatever.

pCars is Shift2 without any of EA's "guidance."

With the way the start-up procedure works, the game requires you to have an active internet connection and be logged in to your pCars account to even boot the game.

Even in alpha stages, it's looking quite good. Sure, some of the tracks are half-finished and some cars have had more done to them than others, but it's still playable at the moment.

The game drives great with a 360 controller, as long as you go into options and turn the "gamepad filter" setting off. Even in alpha state, most cars are just awesome to run laps with. It'll be the second true sim on the 360, after that horrid attempt by SimBin "Race Pro."

I assume they'll add many more tracks and cars before release, but that's honestly all that's holding it back for me at the moment. They really haven't hit all areas yet in terms of cars, sometimes it's over-saturated with too many cars to represent one discipline, other times there's just not enough. There's one generic DTM car, yet eleven classic Ford's planned. One stockcar, yet they plan on having a shit ton of minor league open wheel cars. Track selection is also a bit whack at the moment. Half the tracks in the game (ovals) are really only useful with one car in the game (stockcar), and five different go-karts for three karting tracks.

If they manage to triple the car/track count and diversify the car list with multiple makes/brands per series, it'll be the greatest console sim of this generation. The actual driving is that good.

>tfw late night racing with 5 really awful JP drivers all rocking exotic car itashas

I was having a hard time finding a classic Alfa livery to fuck with. I almost tried to transplant the 155 DTM's livery with the huge Alfa logo, but the 33's sides are mapped really poorly and it would have looked strange. All the Tipo 33 liveries were really basic red with a number and small sponsors, so that wouldn't do either
Though I did consider a more universally appealing Ridge Racer Type 4 RT Solvalou livery, I like the car so much that I went with my second-favorite robot girl. It runs a flat 2:00 on Catalunya. I could be much faster but I use a controller and auto trans. Just got another MS FFB wheel for $15, though I won't have it till next weekend.

Brakes, yes. The rotors change and get larger as you upgrade them, but the exhaust doesn't. I have a Datsun 240Z with race exhaust, and it still has the same muffler as the stock exhaust.

Some cars have tailpipes that upgrade when you change the rear bumper, but that number is less than 10. The ones I remember were the 240SX, the S15 Silvia, the MiTo, the Neon ACR, and the Cobalt SS.

iRacing's stance on custom schemes is pretty much the opposite of all other major video games, because iRacing assumes the people using its service aren't retards.

Basically, custom schemes are done through an app called "TradingPaints." You run it, and it auto-downloads paint schemes based on your user settings. For example, I have mine set to automatically start D/Ling any new IndyCar paint schemes, since that's the series I drive the most. Every other series I race in, I update every few weeks, since the program has a tendancy to crash often.

When it comes to "offensive" schemes, both iRacing and the guy who wrote the program just flat out don't give a fuck about what gets uploaded. If a user gets offended by a paint scheme, they can easily either block the program from downloading a certain user's scheme(s), or just go into the folder and manually delete the offensive paint scheme themselves.

It's a glorious system that rarely gets abused because 99.9% of the users rarely make anything aside from real world schemes or schemes featuring their 9-5 job as a primary sponsor.

So, I am thinking of hosting a series featuring slightly oddball cars. Thinking something like
A600 Syclones
Rotory swapped A or S miatas
Multi class Focus with lowish FF and A or S V8 AWD swapped

Would anyone be interested in something like this?

That's correct. Uploaded as a flattened TGA file, editing is usually done with the layered PSD file.

>>7138819

Okay. The only time I think I've ever used a flattened template in a racing game was NASCAR Racing 2.

I only have one real memory from that game;
>Be 10
>Race a legit Coca-Cola (I think that was naming sponsor back then) 600 at Charlotte
>Doing pretty well
>Suddenly car loses all Oil Pressure with about 25 to go
>Never did a full length race on that game again

The templates are easy as fuck to use, yet sometimes a little confusing if you're not completely familiar with the car you're painting.

>Every little splitter, shark fin, and piece of tape is paintable, yet only some of them are labelled in the layers window.

The nice thing is, each car comes with like 50 preset designs that you can simply fill-tool to your liking and place your own logos.

I wouldn't mind a race pitting Handling focused cars against engine focused cars.

Say, pit several pairs of racers into two-man teams with each pair driving different cars from one class. Each driver upgrades their car to the top of the next class, with one driver from each team focusing on handling upgrades and weight reductions first, while the other driver upgrades the engine first.

All drivers grab race tyres, rollcages and aero as well.

Would be similar to the old british touring car races, where the larger touring cars would be competing against Minis.

Both. I've done basically everything I've wanted to do in Ovals, I'm hoping to move to the road side when my wheel comes in the mail in less than a week (I hope).

Haven't done a lot of races in anything lately because a 360 controller is really fucking sketchy to use in traffic.
>>
>>7139338
Fair enough. I only made it to D class last I played, couldn't settle on a new race and couldn't get used to Lime Rock so I fell out of it for a bit. Back to doing practice in MX-5s for now, idiots everywhere.

Looks like I'll be waiting until X-Mas for the wheel. I do okay with the gamepad for now, got a win and 7 finishes in the top five out of thirteen races. Mainly focusing on clean laps rather than bashing my way to the top since this isn't forza.
>>
>>7139369
Good call, clean laps are the easiest way to get your license up.

It's actually beneficial to drive the slow cars for long periods of time, they teach you really good racing habits that you wont learn in some of the fast cars. Plus, the lower classes always have much more competition.
>>
>>7139380
They seem to be a lot busier. I remember what I didn't like about lime rock, those first five or so corners are just a pain, I peel like I'm doing the triple jump through turns 3 and four, I just hop, skip, and jump the whole way through. I much prefer the japanese track on the roster.
>>
>>7139415
Lime Rock takes a ton of practice to be fast at. I hate how if you fuck up one corner, you lose all momentum for the next three or four. I was in a Road Course Truck League for a bit (until my wheel died), and when we went there... holy fuck it was a LOOOOOOONG 22 laps.

So my friends and I found a fucking sick-ass arcade today.
Daytona USA 2, F355 Challenge, Initial D Arcade Stage 3 (with cards), H2Overdrive, and Offroad Thunder.
I was wrecking shit with the Hornet in Daytona so hard the steering wheel sensor started bugging out, and all the other machines (it was a 4-player full motion cabinet setup) had old burned-out screens and bad sound mixes so I couldn't hear the engine to shift with. The Initial D machines were in great shape though. Then I tried playing F355 Challenge on full sim. Holy balls that's a hard game. The model of Suzuka seems off too. There's no banking in the first turn. Still, fucking 6-speed gated shifter asdfasdgasddfasf. Glorious.

Awesome. I know DanK1499 has been hanging around for a while, can we we get one out to him when you are on F4?

>>7141610
Here is my one concern doing it this way. Usually one car has an advantage over another when you go Car 1 vs Car 2. This was not a problem because the Holdens and Fords are extremely similar. However, I have a suspicion that the Merc is faster around the track than the Audi in F4. My reason for saying this is that the Merc always does well in R2 lobbies and I never see anyone use the Audis online. I can test this though to find out.
If this doesn't work, I would just allow both teams to use both cars and we obviously have team colors to differentiate.

Hey Faggots,
My name is M. Rossi, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at my cars tailpipes. You are everything bad in the racing world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any championships? I mean, I guess it’s fun driving AWD vipers because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than using anime liveries from the storefront.
Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best lap time. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the Ferrari team, and starter on my LeMans team. What events do you race, other than “200mph in a Bugatti and wrecking on the next corner”? I also get max PI’s, and have a banging hot Ferrari (She just blew by the chump in 1st place; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

I choose Laguna Seca. Indy is more of a power track and it would be a case of who has the best accel + top speed, and also because it's a bit boring to drive on. Laguna does have dat fucking blinding sun and is difficult to see the road on in cockpit view, but it's a lot more interesting as a track, and it's small enough to have to constantly overtake something or have something to do.

>>7141684

I definitely unlocked heatseakers for the chopper in game, and when i went to check after being booted, they weren't unlocked in the My Soldier part, so it doesn't save your progress if you get DC'd. It wasn't really the kills i was bothered about anyway, it was the
score for my weapons and equipment, and also because i'm close to leveling up.
