NISMØ Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Definitly wasnt impressed with gt5 and after a few hours i was just plain bored. havent played it since and i have no intentions of playing it again. Forza 3 on the other hand has been a hell of a lot of fun and forza 4 should be a continuation of that. Should be good!!! I totally agree. I bought a ps3 when GT5 came out. I was expecting so much considering they spent agessss making it. What did I get? The game was pretty much copy paste from GT4 MINUS some stuff. The tracks are all 2d (as in the trees and such on the outside). The only innovation was the cockpit view. GT5 is boring, all you do is buy a car, install modification 'packages' which offer little to no control, then you drive your car around the same old tracks, in the same way you did in the previous installment. Very unhappy with it. edit: Not to mention 9/10 cars dont sound like they should, prime example: Classic US muscle cars sounding like honda civics I KID YOU NOT.

I think what he's saying is that the car sounds in Forza are far better than GT5, which I agree with.

mad082 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 in all honesty though, if someone buys (or doesn't buy) a game purely based off sound then that's a bit on the stupid side. on complaining about what gt5 is like, i knew what gt5 was going to be like before it even came out. it was going to be like all the others but with new stuff, which is what i wanted. the same could probably be said about forza as well. how many forza fans would be happy if the new one was completely redesigned with a more arcade style handling so it was like playing one of the old need for speed games? i'm guessing that none of the diehard forza fans would be happy. any series of games keeps its fans happy by not changing too much.

Mr Eps Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 New forza will have soarers. I would be looking forward to it hypothetically if I owned an xbox. *goes back to Gt5 to drive cars that font excite nor inspire me* Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/359663-forza-4/page/2/#findComment-5943108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiracer Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 lol at the forza/ GT5 comparo starting again......2 different games, 2 different platforms. and if you had a decent sub/sound system you would realise that the cars in GT5 actually sound dam good. (not great...but a V8 def sounds like a rumbling V8) and the Mclarens and some of the other super cars....just sound like sex on a stick still think forza should come out on PC...and still wondering how the Xbox is gonna keep it that pretty and smooth at the same time.

friction_point Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm looking forward to F4 personally, I've got the previous three in the series and I keep going back to them, I think they nailed the physics pretty spot on...IMHO what's missing is: Backfires Night racing/weather Flames coming out the exhausts occasionally/smoke Beefier engine sounds Other than that, it's my fave racer atm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/359663-forza-4/page/2/#findComment-5945891 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea of having a race start as clouds are rolling in but you never know if its going to rain or just get overcast and change the whole race because of it. I think the forza games are spot on to what i want in a racer and i hope they continue pulling me back in to play more.

No, I expected a better experience when modifying the cars. And as for the sound system, I am very well covered in that department, the display doesnt really affect the true sound of the engine sounds in game, almost all cars sound incorrect. I find the engine/exhaust sounds of the Forza series to be alot more realistic.

flyingfridge Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 New ad with Clarkson. Call me a softy but I actually had tears in my eyes after watching this because it's so true.... I don't need to see how the game is going to be TBH because with thinking like that it's going to be epic. I never though I'd say this but I think for true enthusiast racers, the torch may have been passed.Make sure you go full screen with HD Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/359663-forza-4/page/2/#findComment-6043777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy85 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 www.gamespot.com.au have just reviewed it and gave it an 8.5, they reckon the game is going to be more like a Forza 3.5 than Forza 4, because it features the majority of the Forza 3 content but very little extra in the way of cars and tracks (the important stuff) . Might be hard to justify getting this one at the moment. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/359663-forza-4/page/2/#findComment-6049735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFreshSoClean Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Forza 3 was a fairly complete game in itself, so will be interesting to see what they add. I really dig all the clarkson/top gear stuff though EDIT: Just played the demo, its fun!! Ferrari 458 does epic slides. Graphics are a bit better than 3. Pretty limited demo though. I will buy it!
