Forza Motorsport 4 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

I have a wheel, but it drives so nicely with a controller, why bother hooking it up.

Because you now how satisfying it is to take turns with the wheel and force feedback system.

Normally I would agree with this 100%, as I use my wheel for iRacing and every other racing game....on the PS3/PC. My PS3 and PC are in my office, so it's easy to have all that stuff hooked up. My 360 is out in my living room, and trying to hook the wheel up is a pain...so I shall sacrifice that feeling, for the pure simplicity of sitting on my couch and just racing.

I agree. Forza handles so well with a controller no matter if you are on easy or sim. I have a wheel and I rarely go though the hassle to drag it out for Forza.

You would assume gamepad input is part of game design 101 but so many racing games fail for no other reason than poor, disconnected, twitchy controls it makes you wonder what secret Turn 10 has.

I love the way this demo plays, if you up the difficulty you really have to focus on the road.

I can see now cockpit view is my definite camera view and I love Ferrari's. That burnt orange color is beautiful...

Playing on Samsung D7000 LED put the picture mode on Natural and it looks so real.

This game is going to be a beat next week when I get it..

Never owned a sim racing game before, and honestly was never a fan (limited time with Gran Turismo). Saying all that, I think this demo just sold the game to me (that and watching a lot of Top Gear recently).

Hey there are three other cars to drive in here........its a time trial thing. I like the controls on realistic steering even with my controller. Is the steering wheel worth getting or does it make that big a difference?

Thanks. I didn't notice that until last night. I've been working hard to get better in Rivals mode with the Zonda. After many laps, I could only place in the mid 10,000s in the leaderboards (top 5%). The handling in this game is perfect.

Re: Forza Motorsport 4 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

I managed to shave more seconds off with the Zonda in Rivals.

01:44.915 and in the top 3% (with the Xbox wheel).

I couldn't drive this good in the previous three Forza's. They must have done something right with this game.

I'm loving the hard A.I difficulty. Managed to get first place for the first time today, thought I'd post the video.

This A.I difficulty requires real skill in terms of passing other cars. Speed and braking play a huge factor. I had to get really aggressive towards the end of the race to catch up to the first place car which was way ahead of every other car... I got a little too aggressive at the end lol.

Thanks! This was done with my controller as well... too lazy to bring out my steering wheel

Yes, the sense of speed is a lot better compared to Forza 3. Maybe it's the tire data they collected from Pirelli or something, but something has changed.

What capture hardware are you using? I've always wanted to get one.

The AverTV HD DVR PCI-e capture card. For 100$ it records 720p content flawlessly.

-This is a fun game, but it isn't "that" different from Forza 3. GT4 - GT5 is a much bigger upgrade than Forza 3-4.

- Graphics are nice, but the photorealism is just not there. I don't know what it is, but you can tell right away that it's a video game. I love the game and don't care so much about graphics, but I really would have to say GT5 still has the title of best graphics on a console racer. Good thing Forza 4 kills it in fun-factor.

- This is a must buy for anyone who loved 3, or didn't play 4. To those who moderately enjoyed 3, I don't see this game as a must buy.
