details on your 1st hand experience of the game guys.....?

[samk115]

Loving it so far, only annoying thing is the AI seem more aggresive, they arent afraid to crash into you which has caused me a few annoying moments!

Such a wicked game, they really pulled it off with this one

[bmgjet]

+1 to the AI being crazy.
Few tracks Iv had them just kamikaze me when im going into the corners. Im playing with full sim damage so it pretty much writes the car off. In the end I turned the rewind back on so I could rewind it then dodge them so they just fly into the wall.

Was getting error message about my game disk being corrupt but getting the latest dash update fixed that.

Biggest improvements are that you can pick which car you want to be gifted each level so you dont end up with double ups like forza 3.
Also when you get a affinity with car brands you get free parts at the high enough level so you can make maxed out cars for free/slipscreen play easy.
Also the performance of the car changes depending on the weather and air temp which is quite amusing. My 131KW E class nissan was making 150KW on the bermise alps at -5C

Only done afew races but loving it. Only thing im unsure about is how many cars they are throwing at me. it looks like im not going to have to spend a cent in this game on anything. Also when I transfered my profile over it said I had the unicorn rx7 in my forza 3 account so I got it on this one but I didnt actually have it on 3? anyone else get this?

[bmgjet]

Got 6 cars from having level 50 forza 3 and 2 badges.

[trend.whore]

Picked it up this evening, bit gutted they dont have Watanabe RS-8 Now what will I put on the Hakasuka!!

[Green Machine]

ahh worked out I got the Spirit-R rx7 from sending my preorder receipt to turn 10.

Sweet. Played about 1 hour so far. Liking it alot more than forza 3 although it does feel like a forza 3.5 rather than a forza 4.
Driving feels way more refined. Actually feels like you get a more actuarate feeling of the tyres on the road.

[NVMY R]

So are the physics closer to Gran Turismo in this game? I hated how the cars felt like they had no weight or traction in the last game.

[burrelli]

Keen to see more of peoples pxts as that CTR is very detailed in places, looks mint.
Can you open the hood and doors like they've done for some of their preview pictures? ie. McLaren F1

[Glassjaw]

They seem to have done away with the B-Series engine as an upgrade on the Honda's..... but why not just go K Series anyways right?
I seem to have gotten an achievement for a Unicorn hunter somehow..... I dont think I even had a Unicorn car on Forza 3

Don't think you can compare it to GT5..... this leaves GT5 wanting IMO

Why would u want it to be like GT? Iv played all the GT series and the Forza series and i can say that forza feels alot more "real" than GT ever has

[Plague]

Game is seriously awesome. Once you get use to the simulation steering and small difficulty changes from 3 its just amazing.

The ability to upload 8 mega pixel screen shots (at 24MB each lol) is going to mean I will never have to worry about running out of desktop wallpapers.

Also if you get your affinity with a car manufacturer to level 4+ you get free parts on all that manufacturers cars. (Engine, Asperation, Drivetrain and Mag's excluded). So I have a 300kw N/A K20 EG Hatch which only cost me roughly $12000 (k20, TE37's, body kits/lips).

Overall Epic!

[Pleb]

Dick Smith or JB have it for like $84 which is not bad.

Agree that it throws cars at you! I've only done a few races and already have half a dozen cars. Money is no object in this game, I can't seem to spend enough of it.

Is anyone using a steering wheel or just the gamepad? I find the steering weird on the gamepad, I have it in "simulation" and the steering angle seems to respond to how long you hold it for rather than how far you move the joystick? I.e. full lock on the joystick doesn't translate to full lock on the steering wheel?

Other than that I'm really loving it, GT5 gameplay seems average in comparison now...
