I lol'd pretty hard there.

I see the wheel catalog looks EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME!

 

Did you expect a difference there?

 

There really should be a bigger penalty for hitting a conversion van head on at 100 mph in a compact car. Even if they don't part damage. The car should be pretty much stopped or out of control. It feels like you can just drive through vehicles with that Evo.

 

Yea, crashing into other cars is too arcade-y to me.

 

Yeah, you just bounce off of them.

And fck the wheel catalog.

 

it looks like fm4 will be a keeper... but horizon looks fun...

 

To be honest, no. They seem to think that the wheel trends from whenever FM3 was released are the exact same, and that no new wheel companies have made a name for themselves since then. Of course I mean groups like ADV.1, Vossen, and SSR, but some other wheels like Work Meister's, BBS LM's, or Enkei RP03's would be cool. Honestly as long as you can make them white I'll be fine.

Yeah but what do you want, to total your car out from a 30mph head on collision? If crash physics were more realistic, then you wouldn't hardly get any racing in because hitting anything would cause a spin or something like that.

I agree, but a lot of times I don't want to be confined to a track, just cruising around with no actual limits on what route you can take will be lots of fun.

 

Well, yeah. The first few races I did in the demo I didn't even notice that you don't really get penalized because I tried not to hit stuff. It wouldn't have to be mandatory either. It could have been one of the difficulty settings.

I should also say that I have gta4 for the pc modded so the cars take more realistic damage and have more realistic handling (mainly removed the traction control so you can steer with the throttle), pretty much any head on crash in a chase is an instant failure unless you can hop in another car in time.

 

The wheel whore in me needs to correct something - SSR has been around for yeeeeaaaaars. Which only further proves your point that T10/Playground Games are out of touch with that segment. I'd like to be able to paint any wheel, even those that are chrome. But that probably wont happen


I played the demo for a bit more last night. Im not going to really shit on the game until I actually get it, but the physics, even on simulation, are too arcade-like. If Im going wide on a turn, all I need to do is let off the gas, then floor it real quick and it'll tighten up easily. No drama, no slide. Thats not realistic at all. If you do that in FM4 (let alone the real world), you'll upset the chassis and slide. Theres no way a nearly stock Mustang can go around a tight right hander at 120mph without sliding. Playing it more makes it feel so much more like Need For Speed, and I don't like that at all.

 

Just wondering, how have did you set your difficulty. I can get a pretty good slide going in that mustang.

Apparently there is a hidden stm setting that only pays attention to the main difficulty pre sets. So you have to change it to expert first rather than just doing custom from the beginner pre set. Still though, the handling is dumbed down a bit from f4, I don't really understand why they would even make that decision.

 

Ill have to check out the expert setting. I would turn all assists off and everything else to simulation. But if there is a hidden setting that makes it handle even more realistically, then Id be happy. As it is, the game is just too easy.

IGN Review:

 

God I hope we can turn off these cheesy cut scenes.

 

Me too but I doubt it.

 

Seeing actual highways makes me happy

 

First 30 look amazing. The people look real as fawk

 

Posted on Jalopnik earlier:

 

I'm so excited!

Can't wait to cruise around with you fools

 

The highways look great. I'm super pumped

 

How the hell are they putting Veyron SS engines in buses and such!?!?!?!!?


Zonda R race...

 

Am I the only one that is slightly annoyed that they give us track cars and then make us go offroad in them?

 

They cut out a lot of "track" cars but some like the Radical, Zonda R, and 599XX have me asking the same question.

 

Yeah same here. Seems out of place to drive a lot of these cars on dirt lol

With that, anyone who buys a Season Pass will get all that free, plus an exclusive Season-Pass only car; the first month is the 2006 Miura Concept.

 

This Season Pass has more in it then FM4, but you pay for it. And they only say the first 6 months are included. Who knows how many more packs they plan on selling. And, obviously this is an assumption, the Porsche pack.

 

Don't know if anyone else besides me got the LCE, but an official on the main forums confirmed this first pack will be included at no extra charge.

 

That's awesome! I got the LCE as well.

 

So what is the difference in regular and limited edition? I dont think i will pay extra...

 

Are you serious? It's been posted a few times in here and it's somewhere on Google

 

Thats should indicate how lazy i am i guess... but ok i will search

 

Lazy bish...

There is definitely something up with the traction/ stability control. In the viper on the dirt road to the dam you can drop the clutch in 2nd and it will barely spin the tires. You can do the same thing on the asphalt just before the road and do a long 2nd gear burn out. I can also slide my truck on dirt more easily at 40mph with 170 hp and off road tires. Heck a 60 hp vw is more fun.
