Great looking garage so far. No doubt Forza 4 will once again continue the trend of being the highest reviewed racing sim on the market this gen.
Forza 4 is the console game for EVERY car enthusiast. If you are a car enthusiast and DON'T own a 360 to play this masterpiece, then you are NOT a car enthusiast.
Within the top 10
Halo Reach #3
Gears of war 2 #7 - 2 year old game
Halo 3 #8 - 3 year old game
When the games are that good, people play them for years.
I would love to see the top 10 or 20 games being played over PSN...wonder why Sony is so tight lipped on that...oh well.
This is a great article and one that everyone should read.
This is why Forza 4 separates itself from the competition and leads the pack in car racing/sim console games.
Thank you Turn 10, thank you. Now please announce that my 2011 Nissan Juke is in the game. Oh please!
"I am not a car person." I don't know the difference between a V8 and Hemi engine or even between a spark plug and an oil filter. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerati...
Oh don't get me wrong, I am not saying nobody should like it. It'a all about what feels right in your hands.
I am saying that it is a fact that the PS3 controller is the more ergonomically incorrect controller this gen. Ergonomic wise, it's a terrible controller that has not changed since the PS1 which during those times, ergonomics were not a primary study when it came to gaming controllers. But 3 gens later, there is no excuse to not have R&D research a p...
The PS controller is already one of the worst ergonomically controllers on the market this gen, there isn't much you can actually do to the controller to make it better, however I never thought you could take a ergonomically incorrect controller and actually make it worse....But here it is.
@ StrongMan
I agree with you. Sales = demand. I will argue with anyone who argues that and agree that Forza 4 will NOT outsell GT5 but Forza 4 WILL convert some GT fans. However you are seriously overlooking some key elements here.
1. Review wise, Forza is uncontested. It is widely accepted that GT5 was a disappointment considering the amount of Development time and resources that was put into GT5 and what was released to the consumers.
2....
Absolutely beautiful. Just look at those LUSH 3D environments.
Forza 4 will continue the trend of raising the bar visually and gameplay wise and will offer another 90+ meta average.
Great job Turn 10. Forza 4 will take the crown from Forza 3 for best Racing game/sim on the market...currently running 4 years straight and uncontested.
@ 3GenGames
"Go look at any other COD thing and see how many more likes comments about wanting a new game engine are liked more than "This will be epic!" That's my proof. "
Again you are using the internet forums to try and back up your argument. How many of those people that complain about MW/COD titles actually end up buying them? I can say "damn I wish they would use a new engine" or "same ol' thing" on a f...
@ raWfodog
Exactly, well said.
@ 3GenGames
You said:
"And if you think this game has had enough improvement over the games to justify new games, I myself and most other people think you're wrong, so who's right?"
Who is "most other people?" MW2 and COD BO both sold millions upon millions. Sales equal demand, so your "most other people" is a VERY SMALL group of people mo...
@ Dragonborn
True that GT5 has sold well. However you are ignoring that GT5 has had 3 generations to create an established loyal following while during 2 generations of ZERO market competition. That means if you wanted the closest thing to a racing sim on a console, a GT title was the ONLY option. Having that monopoly forces people to have no choice but to buy a GT title and thus help create a loyal following.
In respect to Halo numbers, please don't ...
I enjoyed Uncharted 2 so much more than Uncharted, but I wouldn't put Uncharted on my "LOVE" list of games. Uncharted is a series that was desperately needed on the PS3. To me the PS3 is just too "TEEN" related and not enough "Mature" related content. 10 years ago, I would have "LOVED" the Uncharted franchise, like I did with the Tomb Raider franchise, but now being an adult, I just "LOVE" my more mature games and find games like Unchar...
@ CGI-Quality
He said "Will Be" which is an indication that it's not out yet but on it's way.
OT - Turn 10 just keep out doing themselves with each iteration of Forza. Forza4 will just continue raising the bar higher and higher with what is to be expected in a racing sim. First you nail all the appropriate CORE elements, then you add the special features. Turn 10 know exactly what needs to be focused on and needs to be in the game, then ...
I didn't realize this game was a September release...
I am going to pick it up. Very interested in this.
Here is what I want.
List 10 of the greatest players from each generation of Hockey and allow me to make my own team up. Then let me take my team of Legends and play online against other peoples fantasy picks.
Now that would be awesome.
"Very few handful of people are hyped for this game."
Are you serious? Gears 3 has record breaking pre-orders. How are they not hyped? Are you using N4G as your barometer to determine Xbox 360 games and Hype because N4G is the last place to look for anything MS related and Hype.
Gears 3 will be the biggest selling exclusive this year. Trust me, there is plenty of hype going on with Gears 3 and when the marketing start rolling out, it's goi...
Forza 4 is getting a lot of positive press lately. Looking forward to the reviews and the game.
Turn 10 just keep out doing themselves and raising the bar with what is expected in a racing sim.
"As 2011 winds down, PS3 becoming definitive gamers console"
- That seems like a completely bias comment...what idiotic website would make such a pathetic and bias comment with no real argument at all.... oh it was ps3.mmgn.com....well that pretty much explains it.
"It’s illustrative of the leaps Forza has made over the series it once aspired to, and that leaves us in an unlikely but exciting position as we head towards Forza 4′s release: the world’s favourite driving sim may have emerged from stasis, but in its stead a new market leader has thrived."
I expect more and more reviews/previews to basically say the same thing.
This was an entertaining moment but Not only did I not get emotional during that sequence but I didn't find it "EPIC" at all.
I was actually very disappointed with the game other than some of the great fighting cinematics.
I remember finishing the game on my first play through and it taking me 18 hours to do so on normal...take note that that is including the 9+ hours of cutsecenes. Maybe I didn't find it EPIC or emotional because I felt li...
@ Sugreev2001
Maybe that is where the Value is. Maybe it's ment to get people OFF of the couch rather than sitting like you think how all games should only be played.
