I've been eagerly awaiting the release of Forza 4 which comes 10 / 11 / 2011.
The Demo came out yesterday and it has confirmed that pretty much everything in Forza 3 has been improved and with several new additions it looks like Forza 4 will set the bar for all console driving games. While the demo is short and doesn't contain any of the features implemented with the kinect ( head tracking and interacting with parked cars ) it does show an increase in graphics quality, sound and the improvement in car handling physics.
There is a rivals mode which pits you against another player on the leader board who's car is a ghost and you try and beat their time as you navigate through AI cars on the track Beat their time and you move up the leader board and on to a new rival. It is a lot of fun.
There are four cars to try in the demo. Each one is a very different driving experience. If you like driving games I highly recommend downloading the demo and giving this a try and you'll be hooked like me. I pre ordered the Limited Collectors Edition which comes with extra cars and goodies.
Here's a few shots of my race rig I built myself for driving games and someone else's video of the Pagani Zonda Cinque in the rivals mode demo and a video of a car in the Autovista feature thats in the full game but not in the demo.
Overview of my rig I built from scratch
The Butt Kicker mounts under the seat and is a transducer that takes low frequency sounds from the game and turns it
into vibrations so the chair shakes when I go off road or hit the curbs or rev the engine
Shot of the total setup with surround sound speakers behind me. Might seem like a bit of overkill but the immersion
factor brings the experience to a different level.
