      I played FM4 when I was like 7 or 8. I used a wheel and loved it. Now I play GT Sport, don't have a wheel and seriously want one. I have kinda wanted NFS Underground from all the things I have heard about it. NFS 2015 wasn't bad and neither was NFS Heat (Although it has become a flop) but either way FM4 is some of my nostalgia, other than MK, which was the racing game I liked most.

      Actually the main reason is licensing. Some of the licensed tracks and cars that appear in this game are no longer present in the franchise. My theory is that japanese companies have been showing certain nationalism favoring their local franchises like Gran Turismo. Tracks like Twin Ring Motegi and Tsukuba are no longer featured. And Suzuka recently reappeared in Forza Motorsport 7.

    You've missed a lot what FM4 has to offer with no building your cars. For example you are able to chose whether you play with ballanced build, go for ultra grippy slow boi or fastest death trap in the galaxy. Tuning the setup, tyre compound, witdh and profile, aero... Auto upgrade was always shit in Forza. If you upgraded cars yourself in the way you like them to drive, you wouldn't struggle with difficulty spike at all. Also PI calculation was huge step in right direction compared to predecessors.

      @@dan44zzt231 Agreed. Something I really miss when I play ultra sims like Assetto Corsa is being able to upgrade and tune my favorite car and compete against others that have done the same. You could build a lightning fast Dodge charger that couldn't take corners at all competing against an extremely lightweight and agile Lotus elise and the races could actually be pretty close thanks to the PI system. Maybe the Lotus Elise was a bad example because it was probably the most op car in the game but still. I remember having so much fun in custom lobbies racing against other competitive drivers in A and S class for hours.

Gran Turismo didn't even come close to the quality FM4 had, and how much fun it produced. I'm privileged to have played both and this is what I feel 100%.

    It absolutely was possible to adjust the A.I. difficulty. You could select Easy, Medium, Hard, or Professional.
    Also, Forza 3 did get an update to show gear shifting animations in cockpit view. Forza 4 had it from the get go. The real change for interiors in FM4 was that the driving position was lower and further back from the wheel, allowing you to properly see the instrument cluster.

    The greatest FM game of all time. Recently purchased FM7 and was EXTREMELY disappointed. Everything that made Forza unique other than customization was removed. The absence of individual cups for vehicle brands and classes as well as the inability to upgrade your car to the top of the class really killed the game for me.

Deadass fell asleep one time during a 30 minute race, yet I can race for about 4 hours straight without dosing off. And this is coming from a guy who played FH3 with a G29 for over 300+ hours!

This and BF3 were my first 360 games (I was always really late to the current gen because money), coming from a background of GT2, GT4, NFSMW, Forza 4 was such a blowmind. After that, I could manage to afford more games and more consoles, got every Forza Motorsport up to this day, but none felt the same. I think FM4 was the pinnacle of the series, after that, they went the route of random loot and things like that, ruining the progression system, awful.

    Great review as always! My biggest gripe with Forza has always been that, as you mentioned, starting at the back of a grid on a short race almost encourages dirty driving. But they finally resolved this issue (somewhat) in Forza Motorsport 7 by letting you set races to long or extra long. Having 20 laps to work your way up the grid rather than just 5 allows for much cleaner, more satisfying races.

    Forza 4 was my first Forza game, and without it, I probably never would have discovered the awesomeness of the sim racing genre. For that, this game has a special place in my heart. There’s so much about it that I love; the manufacturer affinity system, the career structure, the event types, the car selection, the minimalistic style; no Forza game I ever played afterward ever felt quite as special. Okay, I guess Horizon 3 is basically a perfect video game, but I digress. There was always something that I thought was missing from each one I played after 4. In the Motorsport series, anyway.

  • @adammalkovich187
    @adammalkovich187 4 года назад

    I remember when I first purchased Forza 4. It was my first real racing simulator after Nascar 2005 Chase for the Cup, and I really got hooked on the game...but only to a point. It's stunning graphics, realism, and majestic presentation made the game an immediate enjoyment for me as a racing game, but only a better racing game and nothing more. I didn't know how to appreciate specifically racing simulators because I was yet to be a Motorsports and racing simulator enthusiast. I was too young and inexperienced at it. It wasn't until Forza 6 that I finally realized the potential that the series had, that racing simulators had, and what Motorports in general was really about.
    Now I'm really hooked to the whole series and I'm looking forward to how I can heavily increase my experience at the games, become an experienced driver with real professional skill, and deepen my appreciation of Motorsports by looking into the sport more fondly...all because Turn 10 Studios put such heart into it.

    Another cracking vid Spenny, get in there! In about 10 years you might review Forza Horizon 4 partially set in Scotland where I dwell lol. I cant decide if you, Ozzyman or Gmanlives are my favourite Aussies, you all tie for first

    The intro with Jeremy Clarkson talking about us petrol heads being a dying breed always makes me emotional,this game gives me so much nostalgia 😊 this is the forza that hooked me.
