Above images courtesy of Stevo the Gamer :) Gamespot hands on preview, includes 24 minute presentation from Dan Grenawalt. So far this is probably the best demo I've seen of the game. It covers just about everything you need to know up to this point. Forza Motorsport 4 wheel roundup, nice article on the official page outlining the different options available when deciding what wheel to buy for Forza 4. Gameplay footage of Top Gear Test Track, something fans have been asking for for years. This was filmed off screen so the quality could be better, but great nonetheless. OMGDrifts impressions of the "Under the Stars" Event held last night, great writeup from a lucky Forza fan who played the game at the event. Lots of detailed impressions here.
Worth reading. Microsoft E3 2011 Press Conference: Forza Motorsport 4 Preview - E3 2011 16 players confirmed along with 10/11/11 release date Looks like Jalopnik got the scoop! "Graphics (Polygon count size does matter!): For starters, Turn 10's re-rendered every single vehicle, ripping the graphics engine down and building it back up. And the results are simply staggering. Cars are up from Forza 3's 400,000 polygons to over one million polygons per car. They've added real-light changes like blooming and lens flares help make the cars look like they're really in the environment. Turn 10 is achieving in real-time at 60 frames per second what was once something Pixar needed weeks to render." "Physics Engine (Kick the tires and light the fires!): Not only has Turn 10 rebuilt the physics engine from scratch, they've also tried to address one of the most glaring problems with Forza 3, the tires. That's why, for enthusiasts anyway, the most important addition to the game is going to be the tire physics. Thanks to a partnership with Pirelli, Turn 10 has completely redone the modeling for tire dynamics." Screenshot gallery

This topic is locked from further discussion.
Microsoft has also announced that players of Forza 3 will be able to import their existing profile into Forza 4
Hell yeah.

Yeah, that was something I'd hoped they would implement for Forza 3. Happy to see it will be featured in Forza 4. :D
Also, Turn 10,
Top is GT5, Middle is FM4, bottom is real life. Obviously not really a fair comparison because we all know the Forza car will never look that good when racing, but whatever.

I'm going to be really let down if Porsche is absent this go-around.
TheOtherTheoG
Wait, what? Why wouldn't Porsche be in the game? :?
Because, for the last 5 years at least, Porsche have been incredibly touchy about giving devs licenses to have their cars in games - the last I can think of is GTR 2 in 2006. Porsche has been in every Forza game so far.
Top is GT5, Middle is FM4, bottom is real life. Obviously not really a fair comparison because we all know the Forza car will never look that good when racing, but whatever. Nether, would the GT5 version look that good in game.
That WRX looks like a giant piece of plastic, but it is flat blue, not metallic like the others.Those screenies are quite.... glossy? Too glossy, perhaps? :/
The box is indeed pretty boring as someone mentioned. Im positive the game is going to be great though. :)
"They ported that exclusive garbage Fable3
"
And just the mess with you more, they released Fable 3 PC at the same time as Witcher 2. TOUGH CHOICE BRO!?
TruedUp
That was a tough choice, not gonna lie.
