yes, when I first pla6ed a forza game, I loved the music, the colors, the track, and especially the cars. the sounds, the effects and graphics are crazy good
You can tell that heart and soul went into this game, a game for enthusiasts, made by enthusiasts. Even down to the teaser trailer, and the video that plays when you boot the game for the first time "Endangered Species" narrated by Jeremy Clarkson is incredible. FM4 was my childhood Forza, and I consider myself lucky that it was.
I’ve played so many racing games that I’ve lost count. FM4 and horizon 1 are the two that I’ve put in the most hours in, golden era for Forza. You did a real good job explaining why this game is special
The team that created Forza Motorsport 4 reminded me of the 1992 Olympic Basketball "Dream Team" members. There will never be another Forza as good as 4 because that team will never play together again.... but WoW what excitement they created when they did. As a Forza fan since #1, I must say.... Outstanding review, bro!!

While watching this I actually got a few goosebumps, it's so hard to believe that a game which came out 10 whole years ago can hold up this well. FM4 is still an incredible game to this day, I am still actively playing this game in 2021 and will definitely be actively playing in 2022. Amazing video man, videos like these deserve the views and the likes.
@IBZ I'm playing on the Xbox 360 still, there is a emulator for it, though it isn't fully developed. Sadly it is not backwards compatible for newer consoles.
The original music written for this game gives me chills to this day. I actually bought the OST, and I still put it on in my real, actual car when all I want to do is simply enjoy the car, and enjoy driving. It was, and is, almost magical.
some of my favorite moments were in this game, running B class Japanese cars down Fujimi in a "touge" race with club members. we even had a leaderboard, where we couldn't challenge the faster guys before beating slower people lower on our leaderboard
The darkest day in my xbox gaming days..... when the motorsport 4 Servers came to a close.... I spent my last day playing TAG, and drifting as I'm sure we all did... met some great people, had some great times, and even picking it up now it feels fantastic, using manual with clutch for years on the controller to get used to it for drifting! 11/10 my favorite racing game ever!
Forza Motorsport 4 will likely remain as the greatest racing game I've ever played. Somebody would have to do a LOT in order to top it as an overall experience. The online was great with the custom lobbies and car clubs which you could share cars in for other members to use. The online was so good that even though it has a far inferior single-player experience as opposed to Motorsport 2, the online raised it so far above that it didn't matter. The track list was outstanding as well, with stuff like Tsukuba, Motegi, the original Test Track layouts, Fujimi Kaido, Nurburgring, etc. It was seriously just a great game and I will never forget my time on FM4.
Yea, probably had 500 hours in the game and never touched the single player. Online was a blast, I remember spending tons of time building and tuning different cars for different tracks in A and S class. It was so much fun, everyone brought their own homebrewed car and competed against each other. Then it had custom lobbies where you could create anything and it was mostly clean drivers that joined so the racing was fantastic. I will never forget this game, I will probably never have as much fun in a racing game ever again.
I bought the game specifically because of the BMW E39 M5 (which I have owned since 2009) so that I could drive it on the Nordschleife. 1 month after purchasing the XBOX 360 with Forza 4, a Full HD projector from Benq with a Playseat and Fanatec Turbo S Wheel with 6 Speed Shifter had to be installed. I still play with the entire system every now and then.
Brilliant review as always. I've been playing Forza Motorsport 4 quite a bit recently for my review of it and I almost 100% agree with you. This game has aged so well. There's only a few things that I didn't like about it. The way DLC was done back then wasn't as good as it's done now in the newer games, but seeing as all of the DLC went offline in 2015, I guess that's no longer an issue. Playing though the game I found that once you get to the World Championships a lot of the tracks appear quite frequently and that's when the game starts to feel a bit repetitive.
i had played fm3 and 4 demos in gamestop, walmart (my neck hasn’t recovered, iykyk), even furniture stores. yet nothing will ever compare to the feeling of buying the 360 with forza 4 bundle and the wireless steering wheel, booting up disc 1 and 2, watching that intro, and being amazed. memories are engraved in my brain like it was yesterday. younger me cried at the beauty of the game, the older me sheds tears that we’ll never have anything like fm4. something about this game still has me hooked, no forza game since has captured my attention like this masterpiece. nostalgia overload
I was a grown man finally playing this game after having only played arcade racers like need for speed. I played Gran Turismo 1 on the PlayStation when I was a really young guy. And I too legitimately cried within the first probably hour or two of playing Forza Motorsport 4 - purely at understanding how amazing it was of a work of art.
FM4 and FH2, the absolute peak of Forza franchise. Spent years playing these two. Still in my collection waiting for another round in the future. Good old days...
If I'm being honest, this game's sound track is one of my favourites. The calming menu/select music contrasting the fast paced drum and bass trances. This game got me into drum and bass and I still listen to its menu music to this day when I want to study
Recently bought an Xbox 360 to reinstall and play this. As I lost my old 360 to the sands of time, I have to start from the beginning. And almost immediately - I know what modern Forza is missing by playing just a few hours of FM4. Fortunately I have the complete DLC collection (I hear it's not available at all anymore!) so I am going to sink my teeth into this classic in anticipation for FM8 to compare the latest to the greatest.
I remember getting this game back in the game, such good times. I wish I could get my hands on a copy, because I played the game so much the disc was scratched a lot
On xbox360 you can copy the disc image in the hd,no more need of disc after the instal.That help a bit for temp and much for noise level. if you have that and know someone who the game,you can try.
Game rocks so much I went and bought a referb Xbox 360 and another copy just in case my original copy breaks. I have a 10year old Fanatec GT2 RS wheel that still works and will play this from time to time. They recently took out the “rivals” mode that was my favorite thing to do though, so I’ve been using the CSL DD and Assetto Corsa instead, but the good times and replays still remain 😢!
The color scheme feels cold, unlike most of the other games that have warm yellow color, I think that’s why it looks so well. And this game seriously looks like a 2020 games visually, it’s stunning
I miss this game.. it was an absolute work of art and I could tell a lot of work and passion went into making it. Every car, manufacturer, track, etc. had a story to tell. And ForzaVista was revolutionary!
i and a few friends still meet up to play FM4 sometimes, with the Fanatec CSR Elite wheel, H Shifter and everything. Despite the 270 degree steering rotation its still very good and fun to drive. Ok graphics are a bit outdated but more in terms of resolution than details etc.
i still play this game on my 360 till this day i love the soundtrack of the menu and the true racing experiance i love the the variety of cars in this game like the older versions of newer cars and like the prius you never see those in newer games and thats what i love about this game
One of this games highlights for me has to be Clarkson going over the UNSC Warthog. Even if you can't drive it, it was still a very memorable moment in the early days of my racing career in video games.
this game was actually first forza game ive ever played. it was 2014 i was just 7 at the time. already 8 years ago and it feels like it was yesterday. i love this game
Forza motorsport 4 was so above all the other racing games at that time. To me it holds special place in my memory for many reasons , playing with friends on split screen , Jeremy in autovista was a blast and it was very first time i started to use manual in racing games and i still use it today
This game still holds up. When everything else fails, I blow up a steering wheel or something (you know how it is with sims), but I have the itch.... I go to FM3 and FM4 on Xbox 360. And have just as much a blast there on a controller, as I do in sims with FFB wheels, FFB seat cushion, ebrake, VR, etc.
FM4 was definitely the best Forza in terms of cars, tracks, and content. Almost brought a tear to my eye to see the real and fictional tracks I forgot they dropped over time . The memories of the fun I had on those tracks, especially Italy. Great vid!
Great video. Would love to try out this game, just have to find and get a copy. About the new Forza Motorsport, from what the developers fave said, it seams that they are going in to every little detail of racing and implementing them to make every car, every race and every lap feel different. They have gone in to the AI and that they won't drive on a 0 or 1 basis. The AI will be able to turn or accelerate gradually like we can. They have also rehauled the suspension and tyre physics, added rubber in on race tracks, added air density and many more things they haven't said yet. I can't wait for the new game. If all of this is true, we could be seeing a FM4 V2.
Yeah it sounds like they're doing great things, but like Moses said I do hope they go back to a more similar career and car list. Sure IRL I wouldn't want to drive a Prius or whatever, but as a starting point it's cool and more importantly with engine swaps and all that all of the sudden it does become an awesome car. I mean I'll be wasting a lot of time on the game anyway, unless it's a total bust of course, but I'm with Moses that it's getting a bit stale with all the supercars and sports cars if anything a wolf in sheep's clothing is way cooler ;-p
@@markeldik7057 being able to take a boosted miata or s2000 etc and being able to punch above it's weight is one thing I loved about Forza which the new ones don't allow sadly with that homologation stuff.
@@Arrozconchopsticks Im pretty sure Forza 7 is the only one that did that and considering the universal dislike of the system I can't imagine it will return. After they fixed the poor launch the homologation system is the only thing I really don't like about Forza 7 it doesn't add anything it only takes things away.
@@billywashere6965 YES, like limiting performance categorie is fine, but I want to be able to build a drag racer A class car and be able to use it without the devs arbitrarily deciding you can't.
This game changed my life. I was about 10 when I first played it. It was my first step into cars. The passion and the obvious car enthusiasm that went into the game just make it so unbelievably good.
Thanks for uploading this video, the nostalgia hits the heart hard :'( I REAALLY wish the community pushes and pushes t10 to do their best to make it backwards compatible, even if they have to re-license for DLC etc, if they have a remastered version but everything is the same or even just a straight backwards compatibility and have servers running, they would make HEAPS of $ and have heaps of people back on it!!!!!!!!!
At the opener, I couldn't say that it is an old game. What a looker! For me, it isn't as important thing as other properties such as AI behavior, car list, track list and career progression but it is really good. You love your Vipers, don't you? I love them too. One of my three American cars I love. Good to see your excellent review videos man. Makes me want to play it.
Forza Motorsport 4 was my first Forza that i got with my Xbox 360 on Christmas. I wish it was backwards compatible like Horizon 1. I miss having slow starter cars, and that detailed Forzavista. Listening to Jeremy talking about the cars with his funny jokes was my favorite thing.
I really can't agree more that this was the high watermark of the series. Also, coming back to watch this video AFTER the reboot is pretty depressing. They are just not operating at the same level or going for the same feeling as they were in this game.
Looking back at this video after the new motorsport came out, motorsport 4 was truly a gem that the devs just couldn't recreate despite being given ages to make the new one
Absolutely fantastic video, honestly touched on so many of the things I loved about this game. The soundtrack alone is a blast from the past, and theres so many other things about this game that I think went missing along the line of following products. Unicorn cars, a marketplace for vehicle decals, and even just the general sense of proper community engagment, all feel lost now. FM4 and FH1 are games that I wish I could play on my wheel now, even if I had to pay double for them both.
I remember going on the Forza forums on my computer so they could send me unicorn cars. Then online with custom multiplayer races. Absolutely incredible, 1000 sum cars or so as well.
This was the peak of Forza Motorsport and STILL is. God, did this game feel vibrant and alive. So many stupid and silly cars to use, incredible tracks, great campaign mode...
my first forza game was motorsport 2 and was a teen when the demo for motorsport 4 hit xbox marketplace, i played that demo for weeks until the game dropped. To date motorsport is still my favorite and most played forza game and i have played all the horizon games from the beginning in the primes for each of them, none of them hold a candle to how awesome motorsport 4 was, simply a masterpiece that will age well to show our kids.
FM4 is really good. I played consistently from FM3 up to FM8 (2023). And this is probably the best overall. Sadly your (and mine too) expectations of FM 2022 didn’t like up. Awesome physics and graphics, but career mode is by far the worst (at launch).
Even today, I have yet to have an experience to rival Forza Motorsport 4. I've played GT3 thru 7, all the Forza games, and a few full on simulators. Nothing has given me that satisfaction and enjoyment that Motorsport 4 did.
Motorsport 4 and horizon 1 are both titles I wish still had many people playing it as they're both so much fun and a nostalgia trip. I've completed the motorsport 4 campaign multiple times and still jump on every few days just mess around in test drive or building new cars. The sound design for pretty much all the cars is amazing and personally far better then a large portion of FH4 and FH5 cars. The exhaust and intake notes are just so perfect, FM4 was my first and still probably my favourite 2nd being FH1.
My dad and I got an Xbox and a cheap pedal and wheel set up just to play this. Many many hours were spent playing this and I kinda forgot about it. It makes me really happy to see that this game was beloved in the same way by others
By far the Best Motorsport. BY FAR!!! Just hearing the music gave me a feeling of nostalgia almost unmatched by any game. The amount of FUN that was possible in this game is so much more than the newer Motorsports. The way drag racing and drifting was set up and the way it all felt was flawless
Fm4 will forever remain unmatched by any in its own series. The list, the tracks, how it kept calling you to play more. It was then and it holds up now
Great video! Made me remember that how much Horse Powers (no pun intended) a Series X or PS5 has, that the 360 era was my ultimate gaming era and FM4 is still my goat racing game. I miss it and hate that is not backward compat :(
This is the last game to my knowledge that also featured the old Silverstone GP track with the intense "Bridge Corner"..... I fecking love this game so much.. ♥️
Coming from 2023 ,nothing in this video improved in the new Motorsport and no,we’re not getting any old fictional circuits except maple valley due,Turn 10 really wanted to “fantasize” the new motorsport and how it “evolved”, don’t get me fucking started with the “bUiLt FrOm ThE gRoUnD uP”
Dude I remember playing the demo in like late 2012 and thinking this is the most amazing beautiful realistic game. Crazy how just in just a few years things that seemed so high tech changes to old.
the absolute highlight of this game is online racing. Nowadays when there's handful of people that still play FM4 online races are amazing with everyone being super respectful and quick as hell
I don't know why but I teared up a little this video. FM4 was my first forza game, and I was only 8 when I started playing. I remember every second, my first win, my first time going around a track without crashing. I only found out about the career nearly a year later because I was so isolated from social media I had no idea it was a feature. For me, I had most of my fun just taking random cars up random tracks for the fun of it. That game is the reason I am the car enthusiast and engineer I am today and this video brought all those childlike giggly feeling back. It's been a while since a car game has made me feel that way, maybe because I'm not 8 anymore. I only hope that the new forza motorsport can give me the same feelings that game did. It will always live on in my heart forever.
Man, they absolutely botched FM23. Looking at FM4 again for the first time in years, Turn 10 should be embarrassed with the current state of FM. They released a demo/Beta and called it a ground up masterpiece... What they gave us, is a buggy, little content, terrible graphic, horrible sounding, RPG based grind fest and it blows. I'm so disappointed.
The King of Forza Motorsports games The money infinite money glitch the Besares Alps is the best custom track made by the devs Gran Turismo needs to add that track
Forza motosport being one of my favorite games, it hits hard. I heard you talking about fh2 being your favorite fh game, and it’s understandable. When i saw all the supercars(and money glitch XD) I was shocked. Thanks you, for brimging this game up. Thanks you so much
I played when I lived Japan. I moved to U.S. and I didn't took the games.also my parents passed away. but I'm finally bought Xbox 360 and Forza Motorsport 3 and 4,Forza Horizon in this year. Forza Motorsport 4 is great Forza series ever. Car list is awesome.
As a Gran Turismo Fan, Forza 4 is a game that i still highly regard due to how it showed the passion of Motorsport which is missed with the later Froza titles especially with 7
god this game had a vibe i fucking LOVED. Could just go through the menus and auto vista for hours just feeling like I was in a pristine auto collection somewhere in the alps. I can't really put it into words but the British woman who would announce the races combined with the map moving around the globe and the amazing soundtrack was just something else. One of my favorite games of all time. Banger vid
Watching this video, I was outraged to learn that MS didn't put this game in backwards compatibility. Even worse after discovering that it has a lot of touring cars that it doesn't have in current games. I played FM4 but I didn't get the most out of the game, I was pretty new to racing games. But anyway, great video!
Time and technology are not my friends, due to my illness I have a small budget to save, 4k uhd technology is still very expensive for me and I still play on the xbox 360 forza 4 on a 47 inch lcd 100hrz philips tv of 14 years old. I have seen the graphics of the new games on the new consoles, I like racing games but the only one that still doesn't bore me is forza motorsport 4 on the xbox 360, this video proved to me that in 2012 I already was right. I have never played this game with a steering wheel, because of this video I have a logitech fx steering wheel, I hope it is the right choice. I think it's fantastic to hear that I'm not the only one who thinks forza 4 is really great. Thanks mosesb for being right.
my first forza entry, with my console gaming experience starting on a ps2, with lots of nascar titles among other racers like midnight club. came bundled with my xbox 360 and i can remember ripping through the career mode with my 2013 shelby gt500 in grabber blue, still my dream car. the narration makes this game feel so much more alive than a lot of other titles, even later forza entries
This was my introduction into the Forza franchise. I was probably 10, playing basketball at a neighbors house in the trailer park I lived in. Somehow got into the topic of Xbox and they asked if I had a 360. They tell me to wait there, run inside and give me their copy of FM4. I loved it. Such a great game.
I got into Forza real late. Was always a sony fan. I got a Halo4 edition 360 and this game.... changed my view of racing games. I will always hold onto it as the best one.
FM4 is basically the first racing game i have ever played in my life (when not counting in Mario Kart and several DS games) It came in a bundle with my then new XBOX360 i was gifted including the DLC cars aswell and i still remember the countless hours i spent recreating the HotLaps on the TopGear Test Track with any car I could think off Or just cruise around on the few tracks with legit roads... it was so much fun and I am glad i never sold any of that. It still sits in my room ready to be played again, and i may aswell just do that now Thanks for the video reminding me and us what a great game this was (and still is). All hope that FM8 will be like that exist, but its really doubtful as you said
I remember my friend and I used to play this on his 360 and we would only use R3 class cars or only the Bugatti veyron and we would go around the tracks backwards and try to hit each other. Good old days
A good example to follow in the new forza motorsport it is a Forza Vista with access to all cars in the game! A good example for this is a Forza Vista in the Shelby Daytona GT!

i had played fm3 and 4 demos in gamestop, walmart (my neck hasn’t recovered, iykyk), even furniture stores. yet nothing will ever compare to the feeling of buying the 360 with forza 4 bundle and the wireless steering wheel, booting up disc 1 and 2, watching that intro, and being amazed. memories are engraved in my brain like it was yesterday. younger me cried at the beauty of the game, the older me sheds tears that we’ll never have anything like fm4. something about this game still has me hooked, no forza game since has captured my attention like this masterpiece. nostalgia overload
I was a grown man finally playing this game after having only played arcade racers like need for speed. I played Gran Turismo 1 on the PlayStation when I was a really young guy. And I too legitimately cried within the first probably hour or two of playing Forza Motorsport 4 - purely at understanding how amazing it was of a work of art.
FM4 and FH2, the absolute peak of Forza franchise. Spent years playing these two. Still in my collection waiting for another round in the future. Good old days...
If I'm being honest, this game's sound track is one of my favourites. The calming menu/select music contrasting the fast paced drum and bass trances. This game got me into drum and bass and I still listen to its menu music to this day when I want to study
I still remember struggling against M. Rossi and his F430 Scuderia before getting obliterated against a wall at the final corner, man what a time.
My absolute favorite forza motorsport series and welcome back moses B
Recently bought an Xbox 360 to reinstall and play this. As I lost my old 360 to the sands of time, I have to start from the beginning. And almost immediately - I know what modern Forza is missing by playing just a few hours of FM4. Fortunately I have the complete DLC collection (I hear it's not available at all anymore!) so I am going to sink my teeth into this classic in anticipation for FM8 to compare the latest to the greatest.
I remember getting this game back in the game, such good times. I wish I could get my hands on a copy, because I played the game so much the disc was scratched a lot
On xbox360 you can copy the disc image in the hd,no more need of disc after the instal.That help a bit for temp and much for noise level.
if you have that and know someone who the game,you can try.
I’ve got a spare I could send you. No joke
Game rocks so much I went and bought a referb Xbox 360 and another copy just in case my original copy breaks. I have a 10year old Fanatec GT2 RS wheel that still works and will play this from time to time. They recently took out the “rivals” mode that was my favorite thing to do though, so I’ve been using the CSL DD and Assetto Corsa instead, but the good times and replays still remain 😢!
The color scheme feels cold, unlike most of the other games that have warm yellow color, I think that’s why it looks so well. And this game seriously looks like a 2020 games visually, it’s stunning
I miss this game.. it was an absolute work of art and I could tell a lot of work and passion went into making it. Every car, manufacturer, track, etc. had a story to tell. And ForzaVista was revolutionary!
i and a few friends still meet up to play FM4 sometimes, with the Fanatec CSR Elite wheel, H Shifter and everything. Despite the 270 degree steering rotation its still very good and fun to drive. Ok graphics are a bit outdated but more in terms of resolution than details etc.
@@w33z0r true
14:28 there was a much longer version of this track from FM3, I was so sad they cut.
But this is little track is great for intense, high lap, races.
Did FM3 or FM4 have more track variations?
@@billywashere6965 yes, there were rally stages in the mountains
@@antoinegarage rally tracks at Touge mountains? Wow thats now cool.
Wasn't that Amalfi coast
i still play this game on my 360 till this day i love the soundtrack of the menu and the true racing experiance i love the the variety of cars in this game like the older versions of newer cars and like the prius you never see those in newer games and thats what i love about this game
We play it most nights you should join us usually have a server up named
( Chilled Vibes Only )
Just gonna say that the music also deserves and needs appreciation
I wish Motorsport 4 was backwards compatible on Series X/S.
That and FPS boost for the older horizon games :-p
One of this games highlights for me has to be Clarkson going over the UNSC Warthog. Even if you can't drive it, it was still a very memorable moment in the early days of my racing career in video games.
this game was actually first forza game ive ever played. it was 2014 i was just 7 at the time. already 8 years ago and it feels like it was yesterday. i love this game
same story for me
Forza motorsport 4 was so above all the other racing games at that time.
To me it holds special place in my memory for many reasons , playing with friends on split screen , Jeremy in autovista was a blast and it was very first time i started to use manual in racing games and i still use it today
This game still holds up.
When everything else fails, I blow up a steering wheel or something (you know how it is with sims), but I have the itch.... I go to FM3 and FM4 on Xbox 360.
And have just as much a blast there on a controller, as I do in sims with FFB wheels, FFB seat cushion, ebrake, VR, etc.
FM4 was definitely the best Forza in terms of cars, tracks, and content. Almost brought a tear to my eye to see the real and fictional tracks I forgot they dropped over time . The memories of the fun I had on those tracks, especially Italy. Great vid!
Couldn't agree more
Great video. Would love to try out this game, just have to find and get a copy.
About the new Forza Motorsport, from what the developers fave said, it seams that they are going in to every little detail of racing and implementing them to make every car, every race and every lap feel different. They have gone in to the AI and that they won't drive on a 0 or 1 basis. The AI will be able to turn or accelerate gradually like we can. They have also rehauled the suspension and tyre physics, added rubber in on race tracks, added air density and many more things they haven't said yet. I can't wait for the new game. If all of this is true, we could be seeing a FM4 V2.
Yeah it sounds like they're doing great things, but like Moses said I do hope they go back to a more similar career and car list. Sure IRL I wouldn't want to drive a Prius or whatever, but as a starting point it's cool and more importantly with engine swaps and all that all of the sudden it does become an awesome car.
I mean I'll be wasting a lot of time on the game anyway, unless it's a total bust of course, but I'm with Moses that it's getting a bit stale with all the supercars and sports cars if anything a wolf in sheep's clothing is way cooler ;-p
@@markeldik7057 being able to take a boosted miata or s2000 etc and being able to punch above it's weight is one thing I loved about Forza which the new ones don't allow sadly with that homologation stuff.
@@Arrozconchopsticks Im pretty sure Forza 7 is the only one that did that and considering the universal dislike of the system I can't imagine it will return.
After they fixed the poor launch the homologation system is the only thing I really don't like about Forza 7 it doesn't add anything it only takes things away.
@@markeldik7057 They need to axe homologation in the career mode, too, as it really limited the creative engineering options players were afforded.
@@billywashere6965 YES, like limiting performance categorie is fine, but I want to be able to build a drag racer A class car and be able to use it without the devs arbitrarily deciding you can't.
This game changed my life. I was about 10 when I first played it. It was my first step into cars. The passion and the obvious car enthusiasm that went into the game just make it so unbelievably good.
Thanks for uploading this video, the nostalgia hits the heart hard :'( I REAALLY wish the community pushes and pushes t10 to do their best to make it backwards compatible, even if they have to re-license for DLC etc, if they have a remastered version but everything is the same or even just a straight backwards compatibility and have servers running, they would make HEAPS of $ and have heaps of people back on it!!!!!!!!!
This game isn't backwards compatible on the Xbox Series X? Even the disc version?
This video essay is still goated. Surprised this video is gonna turn 1 year old.
At the opener, I couldn't say that it is an old game. What a looker! For me, it isn't as important thing as other properties such as AI behavior, car list, track list and career progression but it is really good.
You love your Vipers, don't you? I love them too. One of my three American cars I love.
Good to see your excellent review videos man. Makes me want to play it.
Absolute epitome of car gaming. The cars, tracks, music, customization. Everything was just perfect.
Now we get the absolute worst game in the franchise in 2023. RIP Forza
Incredible what they squeezed out of the good'ol 360 with this game. Superb graphics and great game!
Forza Motorsport 4 was my first Forza that i got with my Xbox 360 on Christmas. I wish it was backwards compatible like Horizon 1. I miss having slow starter cars, and that detailed Forzavista. Listening to Jeremy talking about the cars with his funny jokes was my favorite thing.
I really can't agree more that this was the high watermark of the series. Also, coming back to watch this video AFTER the reboot is pretty depressing. They are just not operating at the same level or going for the same feeling as they were in this game.
Looking back at this video after the new motorsport came out, motorsport 4 was truly a gem that the devs just couldn't recreate despite being given ages to make the new one
It had split screen 😢non of the Forza games today have this
Absolutely fantastic video, honestly touched on so many of the things I loved about this game. The soundtrack alone is a blast from the past, and theres so many other things about this game that I think went missing along the line of following products. Unicorn cars, a marketplace for vehicle decals, and even just the general sense of proper community engagment, all feel lost now. FM4 and FH1 are games that I wish I could play on my wheel now, even if I had to pay double for them both.
Couldn't agree more!
@@UltraViolet_Moses even Coco Hayashi and Setsuna Yuko also loves Forza Motorsport 4. So much. ❤️
@@UltraViolet_Moses oops, Setsuna Yuki i apologize.
I remember going on the Forza forums on my computer so they could send me unicorn cars. Then online with custom multiplayer races. Absolutely incredible, 1000 sum cars or so as well.
This game was everything for me when I was younger, I love this game. If they sell it for 200€ on Xbox id still buy it.
This was the peak of Forza Motorsport and STILL is.
God, did this game feel vibrant and alive.
So many stupid and silly cars to use, incredible tracks, great campaign mode...
my first forza game was motorsport 2 and was a teen when the demo for motorsport 4 hit xbox marketplace, i played that demo for weeks until the game dropped. To date motorsport is still my favorite and most played forza game and i have played all the horizon games from the beginning in the primes for each of them, none of them hold a candle to how awesome motorsport 4 was, simply a masterpiece that will age well to show our kids.
FM4 is really good. I played consistently from FM3 up to FM8 (2023). And this is probably the best overall.
Sadly your (and mine too) expectations of FM 2022 didn’t like up. Awesome physics and graphics, but career mode is by far the worst (at launch).
Even today, I have yet to have an experience to rival Forza Motorsport 4. I've played GT3 thru 7, all the Forza games, and a few full on simulators. Nothing has given me that satisfaction and enjoyment that Motorsport 4 did.
Omg the soundtrack alone gives me hella nostalgia
Motorsport 4 and horizon 1 are both titles I wish still had many people playing it as they're both so much fun and a nostalgia trip. I've completed the motorsport 4 campaign multiple times and still jump on every few days just mess around in test drive or building new cars. The sound design for pretty much all the cars is amazing and personally far better then a large portion of FH4 and FH5 cars. The exhaust and intake notes are just so perfect, FM4 was my first and still probably my favourite 2nd being FH1.
My dad and I got an Xbox and a cheap pedal and wheel set up just to play this. Many many hours were spent playing this and I kinda forgot about it. It makes me really happy to see that this game was beloved in the same way by others
I remember being like 3 and 4 and playing this game with my dad, huge sentimental value
i remember, i played it on my x360, and now, i play it on xenia with all dlc and disc 2 installed, it runs really good and it's so beautiful for 2011.
My favourite Forza Motorsport of all time, I will always remember having the most fun playing this game, and I wish I could play this again.
By far the Best Motorsport. BY FAR!!! Just hearing the music gave me a feeling of nostalgia almost unmatched by any game. The amount of FUN that was possible in this game is so much more than the newer Motorsports. The way drag racing and drifting was set up and the way it all felt was flawless
Couldn't agree more!
Hearing the theme, lobby music I can see everything back in 2012..... beautiful...
Fm4 will forever remain unmatched by any in its own series. The list, the tracks, how it kept calling you to play more. It was then and it holds up now
Great video! Made me remember that how much Horse Powers (no pun intended) a Series X or PS5 has, that the 360 era was my ultimate gaming era and FM4 is still my goat racing game. I miss it and hate that is not backward compat :(
Every Forza Keeps Getting Better and Better! Love them all!
Still play this to this day. I've played new games but this had something they didnt and i cant place it. such a good game, then and now and forever
This is the last game to my knowledge that also featured the old Silverstone GP track with the intense "Bridge Corner"..... I fecking love this game so much.. ♥️
Playing Forza Motorsport 3 is like fine wine i love Forza Motorsport 4 I didn’t get to play the game but I felt interested to buy the game
if you buy it, julian will appear in your house, you have been warned
Coming from 2023 ,nothing in this video improved in the new Motorsport and no,we’re not getting any old fictional circuits except maple valley due,Turn 10 really wanted to “fantasize” the new motorsport and how it “evolved”, don’t get me fucking started with the “bUiLt FrOm ThE gRoUnD uP”
Dude I remember playing the demo in like late 2012 and thinking this is the most amazing beautiful realistic game. Crazy how just in just a few years things that seemed so high tech changes to old.
the absolute highlight of this game is online racing. Nowadays when there's handful of people that still play FM4 online races are amazing with everyone being super respectful and quick as hell
I don't know why but I teared up a little this video. FM4 was my first forza game, and I was only 8 when I started playing. I remember every second, my first win, my first time going around a track without crashing. I only found out about the career nearly a year later because I was so isolated from social media I had no idea it was a feature. For me, I had most of my fun just taking random cars up random tracks for the fun of it. That game is the reason I am the car enthusiast and engineer I am today and this video brought all those childlike giggly feeling back. It's been a while since a car game has made me feel that way, maybe because I'm not 8 anymore. I only hope that the new forza motorsport can give me the same feelings that game did. It will always live on in my heart forever.
Man, they absolutely botched FM23. Looking at FM4 again for the first time in years, Turn 10 should be embarrassed with the current state of FM. They released a demo/Beta and called it a ground up masterpiece... What they gave us, is a buggy, little content, terrible graphic, horrible sounding, RPG based grind fest and it blows. I'm so disappointed.
I loved this game! It was this game for the best sim-arcade, and Project Gotham Racing 4 for my favorite arcade. Good days of gaming.
The King of Forza Motorsports games
The money infinite money glitch the Besares Alps is the best custom track made by the devs Gran Turismo needs to add that track
My fav FM. After this I jumped to Horizon Series but I expect to return to FM8 because it looks amazing.
Awesome video!
The memories of playing this along with my friends. Hitting the Alps in the most ridiculous cars, pitting challenges on each other... Good times
but were you winning?
@@serperior2264 maybe ;v
@@salz_ that's excellent!!!!
Forza motosport being one of my favorite games, it hits hard. I heard you talking about fh2 being your favorite fh game, and it’s understandable. When i saw all the supercars(and money glitch XD) I was shocked. Thanks you, for brimging this game up. Thanks you so much
I love it
I remember this came with my Xbox 360 at the time. Sunk so much time into it despite not being a huge racing fan.
Man this brought back memories. I loved maple valley drifting round not stop all day. What an amazing game. Glad the new one brings back old tracks
is that meant to be a reference o the hit county: canada? (lacrosse)
I played when I lived Japan. I moved to U.S. and I didn't took the games.also my parents passed away. but I'm finally bought Xbox 360 and Forza Motorsport 3 and 4,Forza Horizon in this year. Forza Motorsport 4 is great Forza series ever. Car list is awesome.
As a Gran Turismo Fan, Forza 4 is a game that i still highly regard due to how it showed the passion of Motorsport which is missed with the later Froza titles especially with 7
god this game had a vibe i fucking LOVED. Could just go through the menus and auto vista for hours just feeling like I was in a pristine auto collection somewhere in the alps. I can't really put it into words but the British woman who would announce the races combined with the map moving around the globe and the amazing soundtrack was just something else. One of my favorite games of all time. Banger vid
This is still my favourite Forza out of all.
Forza 4 is the best racing game ever made, I played thousands of hours and I still play today
Well, I guess it's safe to say that the new Forza didn't meet the expectation. Long live FM4 ❤
Watching this video, I was outraged to learn that MS didn't put this game in backwards compatibility. Even worse after discovering that it has a lot of touring cars that it doesn't have in current games. I played FM4 but I didn't get the most out of the game, I was pretty new to racing games. But anyway, great video!
Time and technology are not my friends, due to my illness I have a small budget to save, 4k uhd technology is still very expensive for me and I still play on the xbox 360 forza 4 on a 47 inch lcd 100hrz philips tv of 14 years old. I have seen the graphics of the new games on the new consoles, I like racing games but the only one that still doesn't bore me is forza motorsport 4 on the xbox 360, this video proved to me that in 2012 I already was right. I have never played this game with a steering wheel, because of this video I have a logitech fx steering wheel, I hope it is the right choice. I think it's fantastic to hear that I'm not the only one who thinks forza 4 is really great. Thanks mosesb for being right.
Comprehensive. I find that word sums up the game well. The return of those tracks would be quite a thrill to behold.
my first forza entry, with my console gaming experience starting on a ps2, with lots of nascar titles among other racers like midnight club. came bundled with my xbox 360 and i can remember ripping through the career mode with my 2013 shelby gt500 in grabber blue, still my dream car. the narration makes this game feel so much more alive than a lot of other titles, even later forza entries
This was my introduction into the Forza franchise. I was probably 10, playing basketball at a neighbors house in the trailer park I lived in. Somehow got into the topic of Xbox and they asked if I had a 360. They tell me to wait there, run inside and give me their copy of FM4. I loved it. Such a great game.
this review summed up the way i feel abt forza in a whole tbh
I got into Forza real late. Was always a sony fan. I got a Halo4 edition 360 and this game.... changed my view of racing games. I will always hold onto it as the best one.
FM4 is basically the first racing game i have ever played in my life (when not counting in Mario Kart and several DS games)
It came in a bundle with my then new XBOX360 i was gifted including the DLC cars aswell and i still remember the countless hours i spent recreating the HotLaps on the TopGear Test Track with any car I could think off
Or just cruise around on the few tracks with legit roads... it was so much fun and I am glad i never sold any of that. It still sits in my room ready to be played again, and i may aswell just do that now
Thanks for the video reminding me and us what a great game this was (and still is). All hope that FM8 will be like that exist, but its really doubtful as you said
I remember my friend and I used to play this on his 360 and we would only use R3 class cars or only the Bugatti veyron and we would go around the tracks backwards and try to hit each other. Good old days
Great work there! Forza Motorsport 4 also happened to be my first-ever purchase of any Forza games.
i want the Em1 back in forza, man i miss Fm4 it's the game that made me fall in love with the Em1 civic Si and now i race one irl thanks to this game
Only reason I still have my Xbox 360, this game is golden best forza ever made. The tracks and almost 600 cars to choose from
I absolutely loved the online multi class racing. (The ABCS) there was something so satisfying about lapping higher class cars.
I used to race my dad all the time in FM2, 3, and 4. Good times. Him and I also played Test Drive Unlimited and Horizon 1 together. All on our old 360
hi ben, cool pfp!
A good example to follow in the new forza motorsport it is a Forza Vista with access to all cars in the game!
A good example for this is a Forza Vista in the Shelby Daytona GT!
