You Hear This? Forza 4's Trailer Had Unauthorized Use! :O

Here's the article

I don't know if this is a big deal or not, but what a strange thing to do. I also don't know if MS "stole" it, but that's what the article implies

One of the users below makes a good point that these trailers are passed on to advertising studios so I don't know if this was done internally, intentionally, or perhaps it went over MS's and T10's notice.

"(Full Disclosure: Jalopnik partnered with Turn 10 Studios on two downloadable content packs for Forza Motorsport 3) Some of it's from Top Gear USA"

So Turn 10 partnered with Top Gear USA?...

It's somewhat ironic for a giant corporation to engage in copyright infringement.

Also... Top Gear USA? :/

Not a big deal. The footage is awesome :Pracing1750

Not guilty on the charge of awesomeness?

In the words of Donald Trump:

Somebody's going to get fired.

Also, this leads me to further believe that they put this together last minute purely to fill the slot they backed out of, where they planned to show Gears of War Kinect.

With UC3 on the horizon, MS had to deliver something. So they stole it, lol.

It would be a perfect study of pointlessness.

I'm wouldn't be surprised if Epic was a tad peeved at being jerked around so much recently by MS.

Anauthorized =/= Unauthorized.

Sorry I just wanted to point that out. It's a Shame that the Forza 4 Trailer showed little if not any Gameplay.

lol... that will probably be about as good as an Only Fools and Horses USA, especially seeing as Jeremy Clarkson tends to have a passion for criticising American cars - with good reason.

yeah i want to know what the hell MS was on. Epic had big Gears of War news ready to go and Microsoft just yanked it at the last second. And no, it isn't Kinect. Cliff said so on his twitter.antifanboyftw

As for Gears of War Kinect, he said it wouldn't be in Gears 3.

But overall:

There had better be. Because really, if it ain't the UK version of Top Gear, IT AIN'T TOP GEAR.

Sorry Australia.

They also hired the crew of Top Gear US to do a stunt for the game in the last minute?

Prepare for some sueage..lol :P

Many times actually, it was the one thing I was really bummed they didn't show. Gears of War was even advertised as being there.

"Top Gear USA"

:( That's not good...

Possibly, and then used the unauthorized footage since they knew they could throw money at it to solve the problem when it arises.

Are we really that concerned about Top Gear USA vs Top Gear UK... its a show not a work of art.wmc540

Just a show?! :evil:

:P In all seriousness it's in no way a deal breaker, but TG USA is not exactly that good.

Top Gear is Top Gear, that's like distinguishing GS US and GS UK, in the end, it's GameSpot. Here, UK Top Gear track was in the video.

Try again Cows.

Oh god no man! Not even close. The UK top Gear television show is THE Top Gear television show. It's so much better than the other versions that it isn't even funny. You need only watch one of their special episodes to see that.

Recommendations:

Episode 14.7- Richard Hammond's review of the Lexus RX450h- Anime effected.

Episode 12. 8 The Vietnam special- Born in the USA

The USA special trip through the south- no explanation needed really

Episode 13.7 Doing an ad for the Volkswagen diesel.-

Or any of their absurd challenges where they have to race each other in cars that they bought for a pre-determined amount of money.

There is no comparison. Really there isn't. Top Gear UK is one of the best and funniest shows on TV.

Well M$ has always stolen other people and companies' stuff so there's nothing new here.kuraimen

"Some of it's fromTop Gear USA, whom they've partnered with"

The part they "stole" was from a web series called ironically enough, Turn 9.

You say that as if the Top Gear challenges in GT5 are fun and exciting. :?

I can think of better ways to have fun than driving a VW Samba Bus and a '44 Kubelwagen around the Top Gear test track.
