Just a reminder that if you're a fan of the GTA reviews on this channel, I've started a gameplay commentary series with 'Grand Theft Auto IV', a let's play that's basically an extended review of the game at heart with a few funny moments. Part 3 will be out in a couple of days...
ColourShedProductions is it possible to do a review on GRID 2
Are you going to review Mafia 2? Since you've reviewed Mafia 1
Please do a full review of the PS3 and PS4
Okay thats nice
Forza Motorsport 5 isn't to great imo.
just to warn you if you ever decide to review it
One of the absolute GOAT racing games, period. Also, ambient electronic soundtracks need to come back in Forza. It was so pleasant. I miss this game :(
Ya - I would happily trade Forza 7's winga-dinga for Forza 4's ambient goodness.
The songs on FM6 resembles the most the ones from FM4, and sure, the FM5 ones are way too dramatic
JDB21 it was and still is a very relaxing game.
JDB21 it was and still is perfect
JDB21 I miss it
This game's sound design was YEARS ahead of its time.
It's a shame they haven't been able to keep that level of sound quality with recent Forza games.
Wooper they can is the sad part, it’s just easier not to 😔
they could of literally reused the same engine recordings on the cars that stayed in later games... but they didn't?!
@Cyberdemon Mike do you seriously not think they would of not recorded them in high bitrate? the size and quality of which would never be used without compression in Forza 20 let alone Forza 8. think dude.
@Cyberdemon Mike then they can reuse them or should of future proofed to prevent whatever has really stopped them reusing them . go play f4, the sounds are incredible compared to now
That Fujimo Kaido track or whatever it’s called was the best track I’ve ever played in a racing game
It satisfied my needs as an Initial D fan
Grid autosport has awesome hill like tracks to.
Tsukuba Circuit is still the best racetrack on the planet for me. First time seen in FM2, my brain is still infected today.
Probably spent 100s of hours just driving up and down that mountain trying different cars and setups. I can't rememeber any other track in a racing game that challenged me as much and made me go back daily to reach perfection.
greasycrack I need it back
The second I heard that Background music it got to me D:
The soundtrack is a big part why FM4 is so memorable.
Same
This game got everything right. I've played a lot of racing games throughout my life and this is one of the best. NFS Underground 1/2 gives me childhood nostalgia while Forza Motorsport 4 gives me teenage years nostalgia.
The music in this game is fantastic also
This is the comment I’ve been looking for. The way they setup the career mode and the multiplayer lobbies were great.
FM4 will forever be legendary. They should bring back fujimi kaido.
And it had the Fiero.
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.
To mmy Agree with this. I started off with UG NFS as a kid and as the car nerd grew in me I moved to Forza in about 2008-2009
this game will never die
Forza Motorsport 4 was arguably one of the greatest racing games I've ever played. When multiplayer was still active, I had a blast doing races and various events along with customizing cars and doing races with my friends over LIVE.
it still is active
@@Ty_Drifts server hasnt shut down unlike the gran turismo ps3 games. its just that gran turismo online was for free on ps3 so i mean it isnt much better
Multiplayer was fantastic, especially with the custom lobbies. I love the PI system in forza games, everyone could bring their own homebrewed car and upgrades, and if built well be competitive.
XzGreatOldOnezX if someoene play on xbox 360, im back in the game recently
When I was 6-7 years old, I would always hop on my Xbox-360 and play Forza motorsport 4. My Mom is giving me 100 dollars but the xbox-360 is way more expensive than that :(
I’m literally still playing this game to this day.
same here..... 2 achievements still missing :-)
XzGreatOldOnezX, im back on the game, xbox360, o really want to play with someone pro
Same! Playing it right now
I am so much blown away by this game, its still such a good game to play now! Wish i could race with someone without having to buy a gold membership 😬
Hi mate can you tell me please if the onlien service is still up? Im playing forza 3 and 4 more often and wondering if I can access the storefront for download vinly groups thank you
I remember the online multiplayer having a mode where you could play football with cars, basically Rocket League
I think that means you haven't played much rocket league haha

As much as I love Gran Tourismo, I've put more hours into Forza 4 and Horizon 1 than any other racing game
Thanks for the great review as always this was a special one
Gran turismo 4 and Forza 4 are among the best racing games. Kinda funny if you ask me.
@@Trinity_Primaris Both reach it's height during the 4th entry on it's series. After that it's been rocky... Least for me.

@@anakrime93 ANAKRiME 714, have u watched clips from GRAN TURISMO 5 UNSEEN? It is in my CZcams channel. One clip featuring all 12 Nijigasaki members singing Colorful Dreams Colorful Smiles.
This needs to become backwards compatible on the XB1...
Backwards compatibility stopped nearly a year ago and this game was never going to go BC.
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.
@@paulclynes9865 They'll likely resume it once the Series X comes out since they're trying to get XB1 titles, as well as the current back compat library to work on it
@@xDuality007x As much as I want you to be right the Forza series is 1 of MS's flagship franchises, were it ever going to be BC it would have been 1 of the earliest since there's no need for permission from a 3rd party.
@Nathan Don't forget the best-selling console of this generation is japanese, and after all Gran Turismo Sport sold better than its competition. What Toyota did with its licensing made that attitude quite transparent.
Man, I miss that game. The one Forza game where everything just 'clicked' and gave us the best digital racing consoles have ever delivered.
And I'll take the adaptive AI in Forza over the rubber band AI in Gran Tourismo every day
Forza has rubber banding ai now too
@@denismihokovic2521 lol
No, it doesn't.
And please remember: Forza Horizon is NOT Forza Motorsport. Not even made by Turn10
@Thecarkid 11 No, It's *NOT* "ackchually made by Turn 10". It's made by Playground, and they're both owned and published by Microsoft. Playground use the same game engine - licensed/borrowed from Turn10
A collaboration - yes, but that does *NOT* mean Turn10 game studio is in any shape or form developing the Horizon games.
And I don't know if there's rubber banding in Horizon 4, but it sure as hell isn't in any of the Forza games, so my answer to that idiot who claimed the game has it was a pre-emptive one.
@@LateralTwitlerLT Its made using same engine and same code .
@@KurianfromIndia Well, no. Had it been the same engine with the same code, then it would've been the same game.
However, it does use a modified version of the Forza Motorsport engine, and has its own tailormade code to make it able to create an open world.
Bioshock isn't the same as Gears of War even tho they both run on the Unreal Engine. And FM and FH are not the same or share the same code merely because one of them use a game engine developed for the other.
Masterpiece on the 360. Let's see what Forza 8 has to bring to the series X.
Forza Motorsport 6 was released in 2015...
not much probably
I hope they can bring back what did Forza great.
@@JubbLaRacing yes. During the final episodes of Aikatsu Friends Season 1 anime storyline.
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.
Auto upgrade are total crap indeed
Same with all Forza games, mostly a question of tyres vs speed upgrades for a given category. I think building cars to suit my driving/the events is the best part of Forza.
@@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.
Great point! Yes the insane amount of tuning you can do to each car in my opinion is what made Forza Motorsport so unique along with the livery editor. Anyone who played this online would remember the guys who would tune something like a D class car and absolutely destroy every other auto tuned S class car in the race! Forza 4 is amazing.
Yeah, you could go with a twin turbo, racing transmission and stock tires, blow past everyone on the straight and hang on for dear life in the corners.
I remember how I used to argue with my friend about what is better: Forza or Gran Turismo. These days Gran Turismo takes it for me, but if you compare Forza 4 and GT5, back when we used to argue, it was like night and day. 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%. Man I wish I could play this game again, it was brilliant, last great Forza in my view. Okay it may be Forza Horizon 1, but still, you get the point.
@Chef Jeff Horizon is great but they've started to put less effort towards the motosport games. FM7 was a bit of a failiure and I know no one who plays it anymore. Compared to Gran Turismo Sport which is equally as old but has a much more active userbase.
@@feke5987 The last Horizon kinda sucks tbh, Horizon 3 was far better than the 4th one.
@@NOWAXWORKS Yeah, I haven't enjoyed FH4 as much as I did with FH3 and FH1. It's a great game but there's something missing, but I just can't tell what. But still FH4 was much better than the failure that was FM7.
@@feke5987 I think it really lacks a pronounced progression system, could it be that? When i got to play Horizon 1 in 2013, i really felt that i was making progress, not in FH4, unfortunately. Despite of that, i still think it's a fun videogame, just somewhat dissapointing when compared to what Playground Games had done before. One thing for sure, you're right, FH4 was far better than FM7 lmao. I got it free since i bought FH4.
Definitely my favorite Motorsport out of the series.
FM6 was pretty good to. Close second.
@@TheFurryInShambles :/
@@TheFurryInShambles yeah 6 was my 2nd favorite. If it had clubs, it would have beat fm4 imo.
3 and 4
This game has so much childhood memories for me. I remember playing split screen with my dad know this game and driving around the Top Gear test track trying to beat the times that some celebrities got around the track.
Lazer Shark Production same dude.
I Love this series i love the Top gear Hosts Jeremy clarkson , Richard Hammond , James May and to watch the cars in the Forzavista Reviewd by Jeremy clarkson. AM i the Only one who finds Peace looking at the Cars un Garage or Forzavista

check your facts
Some of my fondest childhood memories with racing games were formed on this game, still to this day it brings me so much nostalgia.
Your reviews and gameplay for GTA 4 are the best videos I've watched during quarantine!
Man this brought back so many memories of doing 50 lap races of le mans in the 908 Prototype
and car soccer
Propably my favorite racing game of all time... I have more than 300 hours on it. I was waiting for this video since you started reviewing Forza games
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers!
@@kartoffelwillipeter3067 That's just racing. At least 150 in the tuning shop. Did a whole lot of test drives on there too. No online stuff, because I couldn't afford the Gold
@@nothinghere7391 Fun fact: currently I spend more time upgrading and tuning my cars than racing them
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.
Just in time literally bought fm 1-4 and old nfs games and waiting for the delivery of my used Xbox 360 e 500gb console
Funny enough I won my first 360S off of a Goodwill auction a few years ago! Then I brought me a few games (Forza 3/4 included) along with a Thrustmaster 458 wheel off of eBay and it's one of the most fun I have ever had in a Forza games! Also Xbox live arcade. Man the Xbox brand died for me after the 360 era... And no besides the switch I refused to get a modern console.
get nfs most wanted, underground 2, and carbon rlly good ones
Everything about this game is perfect. I played this sooooo much in my college years. There was soooo much racing content. Soundtrack, Jeremy Clarkson, customizable content, and online. The grid system to choose which race you wanted was so good something even Forza 7 lacks even though driving wise F7 is my favorite. F4 my favorite of all time.
Been waiting for this forever! I absolutely love this game! Bought it new when it came out and the season pass. Still the best game in the series and I've played all the Forza Motorsports except for 5.
Don't play 5 it's terrible
@@IPooopdogl yeah that's the reason I haven't played it lol
Eric G Same
FM5 is filled with Micro-transactions so why even bother? 6 is alright and 7 did pulled the same BS as 5 but took it away and now it's a okay sim.
This still remains my favourite Forza Motorsport game..so many good times were had and plenty of memories made playing this.
Tuning cars to be fast or have jelly suspension, having all your mates in a club and being able to share cars, bidding stupid amounts of money on rare unicorn cars, online car football and most of all, the..ahem custom lobbies. Drag race on Le Mans no chicane anyone? 😂
Also I nearly forgot how good the car sounds were 👌🏻
I wonder how hard it really is to implement Qualifying Laps. Three iterations after FM4 and there's still no qualification.
The music as the intro to this vid is my most favorite track/song from FM4 - pure nostalgia, I miss and love that game!!
Finally! Haha! Thank you so much. And I knew you'd start the review with that menu theme song. That theme always got my blood pumping.
series went down hill from here
Honestly, I can't even play FH4 after 25+ hours because it's so fucking boring. Progression system is non-existent so what's the point driving a slow car at the start if you almost always win a S1 class car from fucking wheelspins at the start and nothing is stopping you from driving it in SP... 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! Maybe I getting burnt out form the series.
Jajuan Mays and I hate how players have brainwashed the developers into thinking that adding cars is the solution. The solution is to fix the online racing and progression, maybe add some bonus events that actually reward you and don’t feel repetitive like the showcase events.
@@Vtoq Well, they need to fix a lot.
I played a lot the FH4 but the start is the only good part... And the visuals are nice too.
But i got pretty bored and annoyed because the sounds of the cars are trash and i have a example. In this new season they added a rivals event with the Ford Puma, and guess what? They used the sound of an old VW. They fixed the online and that was amazing but honestly i rather play FH2.
@@haaxxx9 no you got one part wrong...all you get from wheelspins is fucking shit clothes and emotes
@@_leftwardclamp4960 Oh yea, 90% of the clothes are fucking awful in that game which get's me another con for that game.
CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION IS HORRIBLE. Can't even customize the avatars body at all while the 6th generations of games that had that feature did and most of the clothes and emotes are behind the shitty wheel-spins. Yea they added the feature that you can pay with forzacoins or some shit to obtain clothes/emotes but it's only a few per season and what-not. And you can't even change the color of the fucking clothes... Next generation of games my ass. And yes, emotes can burn in hell for all I care.
I got so excited to see you finally made this video!!! Went right to it well made yet again! Thank you
An upload from an amazing channel with one of my favourite childhood series - and on my birthday, no less? Best coincidental birthday present ever :)
I've waited for this for a long time and I'm glad you made it. This is my most played game by far. I'd have even helped on multiplayer review if you'd have asked. I still have my original copy and Forza was the game than transformed me from a PS fan to Xbox. Awesome work.
Ohh man, the memories! When I saw this on my recommended, it put such a smile in my face. 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. Thanks ColourShedProductions for remind me of the good times.
Thanks for the awesome reviews colorshed at this point you are honestly my favorite reviewer on this site, keep up up the great work and I hope we all make it through this unfortunate times we are in.
PS: I just want to suggest you check out the resistance or motorstorm games on your PS3 .
Been waiting for this one!! IMO on par with NFS Underground levels of impact on the racing game genre. Really set a new standard. Just about everything in the game holds up with everything we've come to expect from games 9 years later.
I disagree.
It laughs at those games, this game didn't need dripfed content or constant patches because the devs messed up to be the game it should have been, it was that the day it released.
Coulour Shed: "This game encourages dirty driving"
Forza Horizon 4 players: RAM, WALL RIDE, PIT MANOUVER!
Been waiting for this review for a while! Happy you got around to it
Been waiting on this review for a while now! FM4 was my favorite video game of all time. Glad you liked it!
forza 4 was so fucking good, it had good car selection, cars, challenges, the autovista was sick, and it felt good to play
Whenever I made paint schemes in this game, it would always mirror a little off by about 2 or 3 ticks. I would always place a temporary black rectangle on the rear bumper to measure the offset when mirroring so that I could get the design just right.
Literally same haha. Some of the designs in the store front were awesome
Ay remember the hentai themed cars
Dude, your analysis of every game is so well done! Please keep at it!
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.
This game has my highest amount of hours played ever
I still listen to the FM4 soundtrack when I tune, and design cars in other games!
(๑╹◡╹)ﾉ"
same
I liked forza 3s soundtrack more
Been watching all your gt snd nfs reviews, rly loved it. Have never played the old forza, nice reviews, I'm loving it and waiting for the motorsports 5 review
I just finished the Forza reviews just yesterday, so thanks for the update.
Greatest racing game I've played. The sense of progression you had in this game is completely missing in the newer Forza games.
That’s why I’m buying another 360 so I can play this I was too late to buy 7 before they took it off so now I don’t have a Motorsport game until 8 is out and horizon has no sense of accomplishment you start the game with a 300+ hp car immediately win get a wheel spin and win 200,000 credits and then max all your cars out there’s no progression I blame the whole TikTok culture of not having instant satisfaction in your content.
Ended up having to pay 100 dollars for a 360E in my area cause crackheads swear 360 is still a relevant console one dude selling a 360S for 180 only the console and Kinect sensor no cables no controller but he did have the box 👏
Starts it with FM4 opening music: this’ll be good
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.
After binge watching you for the last month from start to finish and currently playing through Forza Motorsport 7 so this is the best! Keep it up dude!
16:52 do you know much about the tvr speed 12? I think it could do that in real life
Well it's typical stereotype It's Bugatti so it must be faster than "xx"
Yeah a race prepped Speed 12 could easily pull away from a Veyron on a track
@@dividedbyzero96 Race version of TVR 12 had power restricted to around 500 HP but remove intake restrictor and Hell lets loose.
Still think horizon 3 and 4 are the best in the overall series, forza motorsport 4 is probably peak forza of the ‘motorsport’ series
Thanks for keeping up the content and we appreciate you! Hope you and your family have been healthy and safe!
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.
So quick question. I'm getting a 360 soon, and I'd love to dive into the Forza series. Should I buy 3 and 4, or just jump to 4?
Just jump to 4
Get both as both 3 and 4 are amazing games and Horizon 1 as well
@@saadhasan2518 I played the hell outta Horizon 1 on the Xbox One. It's amazing.
@@dhproductions4212 probably it scared Sony even more in 2012 as they had nothing to respond to it I remember ppl who didn't like NFS MW2012 bought this game for Xbox 360 whereas ppl who had a PS3 were stuck with NFS MW2012
The game was well executed ppl thought that Microsoft is trying to chase NFS trends but it did more than that and Horizon 1 is one of my favourite racing games of all time the car list was well made including Gumpert Apollo Enraged a favourite car of mine and it also had a rally expansion.
Just jump straight to 4. 3 was ok but 4 was just so much better, and by the nature of this style of game, you aren't missing much by skipping (it not like other games where theres a story as such).
They don't make racing games like this anymore. This game being 9 years old blows away any racing game since in terms of physics.
I've been looking forward to this review since you did the review for the original Forza Motorsport on the Xbox. I was not disappointed. This game a gem and it deserves a place in the racing game hall of fame.
Keep up the good work, man!
Amazing review like always! Would love to see you reviewing the DiRT series, maybe DiRT 2 or 3, in the occasion of the DiRT5 reveal 😁
Hard to believe Gran Turismo outsold Forza by that much. I'm guessing a lot of that is because of the Asian market?
It's the world record GT5 held at the time and that GT6 took the record again is why they kept selling sold so much. Even GTSport despite 170 cars cars at launch. Pretty much outsold every Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 1 through 2 combined alone until Horizon 3 and 4 came out.
The best Forza title ever made, tied with Horizon 1 for the 360. Subsequent Forza games that came out are not good.
I have bought the collector edition of this game the day it came out. It was my go to racing game until late last year when i upgraded to Xbox One and started playing the sequels. I was still playing it last night, knocking one more section off the event list.
I loved tuning cars in this game. I ran a C4 Corvette at S tier with twin turbos. The acceleration on that thing past 100+mph was absolutely insane, outpaced everything and it was a drift machine too. Pretty sturdy car as well, it can take some good bumps throughout races.
"Simulation racing?"
It's sim-arcade, yo.

4:11 Oh hey, Forza predicted Rocket League.
shame nobody used it in online much, and literally nobody ever in the lobbies now
tdp2612 It’s such a shame since I’d imagine Forza 4’d be a top hit if it was Xbox Backwards Compatible, but because of the licensed cars I doubt it’s coming back...
The unicorn cars , the online comunity, the soundtrack, the masive list of events that would be updated with the dlc, astounding my men
Finally! I waited so long for this. Thank you.
Great review! Can't wait for you to get into the later entries.
BTW, are you considering making reviews for the Collin McRae/DIRT series?
Thank you so much! i just got the notification. i would write a longer comment but im to busy watching your review.
The Kinect was brilliant with FM4. Head Tracking was enabled. Head tracking on last generation console. It worked great. You didn't need to wear a sensor on your head as they do with PC head trackers.
Great review Spencer. I have been looking forward to you getting around to this one. I knew you'd like FZ4
First of all i‘d like to say that i love your reviews, i sometimes watch them multiple times especially the longer ones! now i‘m wondering if you are going to Review the forza Horizon titles :)
Oh yes, the review that i've waither for months is finally here 💯👌🏿💯👌🏿💯
I miss Forza back in the late 2000’s to the early 2010’s - Can’t get the same feel from both FM7 and FH4 like this game could and the Original FH in 2012
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.
This is absolutely the best Forza of all time. The cars, the tracks, the incredible music, the car sounds, the visuals for the time, top gear's partnership, the online lobbies, auction houses, gifting cars, etc. I wish they could recreate something as special as this was.
You also said this when you reviewed Forza 3, but FM3 did in fact show gear changes when looking in first person. That comes with the second disc, or an update enabled when the second disc is installed
This one was my favorite in the series! I noticed a huge improvement in car handling from FM3. I try to drift alot in FM3, and you easily loose control of your car just about every time. FM4, I can drift no problem. My favorite car is the 68' Dodge Dart Hemi. I played this game for a simulation, and PGR4 for my arcade. Good ol' days :)
Just subbed great content man .
This is the video I've been waiting for since you started reviewing the Forza games.
Also, I'm kinda sad that you didn't touch on the online features :(
The best racing game community ive ever been apart of. The drift scene in that went off from the day of release to about a few months ago. People knew the regulars and there was a great sense of comradery. There was the Team APEX and BK Bootykrust team rivalry - which I was happy to be apart of BKs team, we didnt win on the leaderboards but we won on the track, but we also made alot of lifelong friends
Love to go back to this time
The car sounds were bang on with this title, they kind of lost it with car sounds after, what an incredible game a 10/10 it had everything!
Awesome review as always
I remember this along with Black Ops Zombies, Angry Birds, and Minecraft. I was 13 at the time
2012 was the best
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
if they make fm8 exactly like this just with its updated physics and all of the little immersion improvement that they have talked about so far it would be the best forza of all time, but i kind of doubt it
Finally! I've waiting for this vid for a while. I love your content and I adore this game. You better make review on the horizon games though ;).
One of my fav games of all time!! Great job as usual!!!
Great review. Can't wait to see you do the first Horizon game or Forza Motorsport 5, because honestly, FM5 would be the one I would recommend to someone who's never played a Forza game and wanted a cheap one to start off at. So many more improvements came with the switch to the Xbox One, I loved 4, but 5 was the one that truly blew me away. Cheers, and I can't wait to see the next GTA 4 gameplay video.
Good vid. Can't wait for you to talk about Forza Motorsport 5. :)
I found this games soundtrack a few months ago. Absolutely phenomenal ost to study too. I’ll have to actually try out playing this masterclass sometime.
The menu music brought back so many memories. A game way ahead of its time
One thing that made this game so great is something that can’t really be reviewed in 2020: the community features. There was so much to keep coming back for: storefront was set up so well, the clubs were an amazing feature with the ability to share any car with club members, the comprehensive leaderboards (albeit a thing Forza 3 had too, but when coupled with the community features they felt better)
I dont expect those to ever come back, storefront is the auction house now, clubs are on the xbox ui itself
17:12 I love the Forza series, but having to win every race in 3 laps was my main gripe. It was so refreshing to play DiRT Rally or even Nascar Heat where I would be excited to get a top 5!
I thought I remembered there being a setting to increase race lengths in career mode, but I haven't played in ages. If not, that one thing motorsport 7 has over 4
This TVR you mentioned at 16:54 is the Speed 12 and is quite the machine. Allegedly the owner of TVR drove the prototype and deemed it too scary to drive so it was never put into production.
May and Hammond did talk, they talked in the car segments, coupes, track toys, muscle etc.
