This was all the stuff that is missing in GT5 and why I'm not liking it as much as I do the Forza series. I can't wait for this!

This is the thing that's kinda irritating me with GT5. Besides the driving model, which at times can be weird, there's nothing in the game that you can say "pushes" the genre. Now this leaves Forza 4 with the option of just resting on it's laurels. Despite what GT5 fanboys may think, it's not very difficult to get Forza to handle like GT5. Infact, if memory serves me correct, FM2 had alot to it that handled like GT5 really with everything turned off. GT5 straight out the box handles pretty much like Forza 3. The only thing I like with GT5 is the elevation changes in the tracks. Forza's tracks are pretty much flat for the most part and don't really have the radical elevation changes like in GT5 except for Nurnburgring GT and Maple Valley.

GT5 has made me kinda worried about where the racing game genre is headed. It's real easy for Turn10 to look at GT5 say "Well that wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Hey let's not rock the boat, we got a winning formula"

Not a fan of the direction the series has taken but I would like to see 1)weather 2)night racing 3)pit crews 4)dirt all show up in Forza 4. I just hope they try to get back to being more of a sim and less of an everychild's game. If they want to do head tracking cool but 'joy ride' controls is where I draw the line in the motion sand.

I'm hoping to see rFactor 2 before we see Forza 4.

The trailer for Microsoft-owned Turn 10 Studios' Forza Motorsport 4 features clips stolen from someone else's automotive web-series — including a clip of actor Paul Walker. The teaser-trailer for the new installment in the popular Forza Motorsport series for Microsoft's Xbox debuted at this year's Video Game Awards features almost no game photography, instead relying mostly on live footage. (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, whom they've partnered with, but other parts are from the trailer for the racing web drama Turn9.

We contacted the producer of the film, Tim Whitcome (who also runs Autotopias) and he admitted the footage was his and did not give permission to use it. According to Whitcome both he and the director Greg Thanos are investigating and have no idea how their film ended up in the trailer.
