why not? what's wrong with it?

There are like 4 cars on it 1 track, the graphics are good but after you have spent 30mins on it then there is nothing left to try.

This website never ceases to amaze me

Well maybe some people should keep their comments to themselves.

Thank you


Anyone else playing with sim steering and a pad? It took a few laps to get used to but I really like it.

what do you expect from a Free Demo?

Something that actually makes you want to buy the game, I have played demos in the past and bought the game because of the demo but this demo has put me off forza 4.

The demo is just that, if it was trying to appeal to 'new' customers then it will, but for hardened racers it feels a bit samey.

That said I HATE AYGO's trying to get a clean lap with the M5 without an Aygo, 107, Micra or other mini muppet rambling into the side of you or closing the door between you and the armco is bloody hard!

It is a demo, you know Anyway, of the one track, there are several different variations for each race/mode!

that's true, though they all feel/seem identical.

normally i learn tracks very quickly but with all the corners almost identical in the demo track there seems to have been no point, they are all flat out.

I was quite impressed with the improvement over 3 myself, The engine sounds are much improved as are the physics, especially enjoying sliding in the Cougar, not a fan of fantasy tracks but it's a fast fun circuit. Not sure what some people were expecting from a racing game, maybe some were expecting free money and a blowjob.

Yep, pad and no aids/sim steering, nicely calibrated and responsive steering for the pad.

Well one big problem. The Impreza amd M5 have the same engine sound FFS, which itself sounds a bit like a 5 cylinder. I hope this won't be the same for the full game but it's a bit of a shame to fk up the demo like this. Also, the track is a bit crap, Hockenheim should've been used.

The Impreza and M5 sound different through my system; similar, but slightly different! There was a discussion regarding this on the Forza 4 forums, whereby a user posted YouTube clips of each car in real life and the engine note is quite similar.

Also, it's worth noting, at least both cars sound nice! They could've been like the hairdryers in GT5

I like them to sound nice AND accurate. TBH I doubt either sound like this in the finished game, it would be such a monumental cock up, especially when engine sounds had been so authentic in previous games.

After all this, I bet RC Racer goes out and buys it

You know you're going to buy it - If you don't, you will after some of us start posting pics of our drift/liveried cars

How did you do that?

[North West Tom]

Can someone remind me how to turn off the music please?

Fire up the game and then press the xbox button and start your own music then pause that.

Haven't got any music on my Xbox, how do I put some on?

Drove backwards then flipped them one by one (crash physics much improved!). These slow traffic cars are not like normal AI's as they don't show on the map and cannot right themselves etc. There seems to be 10 of them in total which appears to be continuous when racing normal and not cocking about. Once flipped though, they seem to "die" and can't respawn again.

Shame they didn't put a replay function into the demo, had some nice moments I wanted to re-live

Enjoying the challenges with the traffic though, adds another challenging element to the game. The M5 seems VERY tail happy though!

FM3 demo was 5 cars around Camino Viejo wasn't it? 911 race car, Ferrari California, Audi R8, Evo X and Mini Cooper.

Correct.
