I was really surprised to see this announced already, I figured they'd hold off until early 2012 before releasing it. Looks like it'll have kinect support now(which is probably the main reason for pushing out a new version sooner), along with standard controls. Hopefully they'll add a little more customization this time, like better wheel options, more appearance mods, but overall I could care less seeing as i've enjoyed all of the Forza games thus far.

They also announced that they will be releasing the new Community Choice Classics Pack for FM3 tomorrow(December 14), which will include the following new vehicles:

*
1971 AMC Javelin-AMX :drool:
*
1973 BMW Motorsport 2002 Turbo
*
1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS 454
*
1971 De Tomaso Pantera
*
1982 DeLorean DMC-12
*
1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth :drool: :drool:
*
1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II
*
1978 Saab 99 Turbo
*
1983 Volvo 242 Turbo Evolution
*
1957 Ferrari 250 California

Can't wait to see this bad boy in action. I bought Forza 2 and loved it, so I am really looking forward to part 4!

Yeah i'm pretty excited about it, Turn 10 hasn't disappointed me yet. Forza 3 has been pretty awesome and i've been happy to see they're still pushing out DLC's even with a new game on the horizon. I was starting to worry after GT5 came out and no new DLC's were showing up for FM3. I was a dedicated follower of the Gran Turismo series until I played Forza the first time, then I forgot all about GT. I've had all 3 Forza titles and all Gran Turismo titles through GT4. While both games have their strong and weak points, I wouldn't make the switch to a PS3 just for GT5.

Because I was saving my automotive addiction for GT5. Forza 3, then in 4 months GT5? I didn't want to be in that situation so I opted to not by it...

I'm sure it will be great... kinda wish I didn't sell my xbox because of this.

Maybe I'll buy another one next fall... If they're like $50 on CL. That's all they're really worth anyway... I went through three before giving up on them.

I dumped my previous generation Xbox earlier this year for the redesigned one. It rocks compared to the old ones, no issues at all.

I'm still working on Forza 3. I'm down to about 4 race series left to beat. I think it's a fun game! The physics seem very good to me, and the racing is fun.

I have yet to play GT5. The graphics look amazing from the clips I've seen. I always enjoyed the slower progression in money and ability to buy cars from the GT series.... makes it seem ever so slightly more realistic and fun.

Having said all that, I'll definitely buy the Forza 4 game when it comes out!

All I have to say is that I really hope the put flames in for the exhausts, and I really wish they would give us choices for the exhaust appearance. Nothing gayer than to get a car all built up and kitted and then have stock exhaust hanging out the back, and the forza rear bumper with the exhaust in the rear cover is just retarded. I'd also like ot be able to do more real world swap even if that means cross platform (IE LS7 in an RX7 or a 2JZ in a Silvia). I also wish they would put the 240SX in the game I know the S13 and S14 Silvia's are in the game, but I want the KA to be an option, the 180SX needs to be in the next came as well. Tons of people have been begging them to put the 180SX in the game and yet they keep passing it up.

Not sure how I feel about the whole Kinect approach, though the demo they had at E3 was awesome with the Kinect being used to open doors and the hood and to look around the car. Just don't know if I like the idea of using it to do actual races.

Oh and I'm not at all happy that they haven't released a DLC for the added cars in the Ultimate edition.

I think Forza 2 is better than GT5 but I didn't know how dissapointing GT5 would be...

I figured Forza 2 = 8.5 , Forza 3 = 8.8 but GT5 would be a 9.5 out of 10. At this point I am hoping for some patches for GT5 to fix all the crap they spewed on to my PS3 after a 6 year development cycle. But I am not buying Forza 3 now, I am playing GT5 until the wheels fall off or until Forza 4 is released. Which ever comes first.

Any quieter? I couldn't even watch movies on the damn thing without having to turn the TV up so loud I'd wake up my parents...

In regards to GT5... I don't think its utter crap... but it has been a bit of a letdown.
That being said, I'm still having more fun with it than I did with any game in the Forza series.

Yeah i'd like to be able to do more real world stuff as well, they've gotten better in each series but i'm hoping for a a lot more customization options in FM4. I want more wheel choices(and more that can be painted), exhaust tips, headlights, and tail lights but if they just add some of that i'll be very happy honestly.

I'm fine with the kinect approach since you'll still be able to use classic controls as well.

Yeah I was pretty pissed about the DLC, i'm not buying another edition just to get a few extra cars. The Community Choice Classics pack is pretty awesome though, i've been rocking the Volvo 242 a lot lately :biggrin:

It's quieter by far, it's a much better system overall. If you get one just make sure it stays well ventilated, it still gets really hot if you have it in a tight space(that's what she said :bigthumb:). They said they fixed the cooling issues in the new ones but i'm not willing to risk it. So far though it has given me zero problems in the 5-6 months i've had it, other than freezing up on Fallout: New Vegas, which is a known issue with the game and not the system.

Yeah I was worried at first the it was the Xbox, then I read about the issues online so it made me feel a lot better. It's still really annoying that it decides to randomly freeze in the middle of a mission. Of course my wife plays more than I do so she gets even more pissed at it :chuckle:
