how forza 4 gets its cars
 

The ladies and gentlemen at Turn 10, the studio behind Forza Motorsport 4, take their cars just as seriously as their gaming. They're not the only gamers to invest heaps of time rendering metal into pixels, but you might be surprised just how much travel, how many microphones, how long on the dyno and what kinds of owners go into gathering the selection of rides.

If you've wondered what goes into taking a Bugatti Veyron, or even a Honda Civic Si, from the parking lot to the game's custom Bernese Alps track, then there's a video just for you after the jump.

Haha and meanwhile in GT5, every car sounds the same.

those guys at turn10 have the best jobs in the world :high:

urghh hate that too, get an exhaust for a car with a v8, it ends up sounding like a 4 banger :rukidding:

Best job ever!

(until you go into the studio and turn all of that into computer language)

No seriously, Forza>GT5 in everything except for graphics, which i think GT5 has the edge on.

^GT physics is much better as well

Gran Turismo is the pioneer for bringing sim racing to the masses/consoles
but Turn 10's achievement over the past few years is incredible...you can tell they are much better managed than Polyphony Digital

This is only reason i would take a xbox over a ps3.

if only on pc :okay:

Then buy a xbox 360, you can buy a used one for like $80 with everything, and the game brand new is is like $60... cheap cheap.

I don't agree. I think GT5 has Forza beat in sheer poly count on their car models but when I was playing, I couldn't get over the anti aliasing issues (maybe my hardware?).

GT5 was the reason that I lined up for 13 hours and paid a friend to wait in line for 22 hours for a launch PS3. ...and to flip one of course... :troll: (for the record, I only ended up getting my hands on 1). Anyways, when GT5 finally came out, I ended up playing it for about 2 hours total since the overall gameplay experience was so bland. The racing itself is great but it felt like there was no improvement in the overall structure of the game from the previous one, where the guys at Turn 10 have made leaps and bounds for the Forza series. Features like the marketplace and all of the great tuning options always make me come back for more in Forza but I just don't see that value in GT5. The game was in production for so long and was so expensive but I honestly don't see where that time and money went.

I wonder if they get paid a lot.. man, I would volunteer for that job!

Being the pioneer doesn't mean shit if you don't improve the gameplay, GT physics don't feel organic to me in both gamepad/steering wheel form, maybe it's just me but I strongly prefer the feel of forza and I find GT numb.

forza owns all

I bought an xbox just for Forza...been playing since Forza 2! Love racing online against 15 other players.
Gran Turismo has the better graphics cause of the PS3 but everything else Forza does better.

I bought a PS3 during first launch in anticipation for GT5. Took so long before it launched I ended up buying an Xbox for Forza 3 to fill the void. Then GT5 finally came out. Played it for a few hours. Haven't turned on my PS3 since. Forza 4 is even better.

I've converted many GT5/PS3 fanboys to FM4/Xbox fanboys.

Xbox 360 > PS3

GT5 biggest disappointment in video games for me personally.

Turn 10 keep of the good work

agree with the BOTH of you!

IMO, in a nutshell, GT5 could really have been GT2 with better graphics for all I cared.

I also enjoyed putting in a "computer performance chip" in my carb'd muscle car in GT5..

as mentioned above most cars in gran turismo sound like a vaccume cleaner or something from windows 98 lol .... i was so disappointed when GT5 came out and the cars still sounded like shit.

To me sound effects are really important for car games, completes the atmosphere of the game to me... i haven't played forza since i dont got a xbox and my computer sucks ass, some day i will though :accepted:

Need for speed shift 2 unleashed has some pretty good sound effects i found though, the graphics are pretty impressive too for the interior view. I didn't really get that much into the storymode / game tho.. cut scenes were annoying as hell and you cant skip them.. its like torture lol.
