May I put in a request to all members who organise the great racing series here. When the Porsche DLC is released that all future events be based on them. Thank you. wink

I hope that of the 7 new models we get the 356 coupe, the 907 and the 935 (slant nose). 

 

As far as Forza Horizon...well, that seems really cool for running mille miglia and targa florio style events.  Ver, very awesome.  I'll be trading in some stuff and getting my MS points soon.

See, now if they add the Cayenne, we could almost do a proper SUV series, though you might have to include pickups too. BUt running those big bastards wheel to wheel could be a blast.

I've been thinking of starting a truck series anyway, and that is a great idea.  Could possibly make a luxury SUV series with the Porsche, Audi, Landrover, and BMW SUVs in the game.

Hmm, not a porche fan and even less of one if they expect me to pay for something that should have been there from the start. Might have been nice to have at least offered a basic pack for free.

I've always enjoyed the Porshe 914 so I can't wait to putter around in that again :)

Hmm, charging for content that would've been included but was yanked at the last minute. Gonna be lots of pissed off early adopters when the F4UC is released for $40...

I am kind of waiting for something like that to drop, that includes all the DLC, and stuff in one package. We'll probably see it around Christmas.

This has some good info from Dan Greenawalt about how this all went down

 

http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/forza_4/news/forza_4_gets_porsche_expansion_this_may.html

 

"We announced before Forza 4 shipped that Porsches weren't going to be in," said director Dan Greenawalt in an interview with VideoGamer.com. "But that doesn't mean we stopped trying, it was basically the time at which we knew that even if we got the agreement signed that day we wouldn't have enough time to make the content to get it into the game - so that was when we made that press release. But we never walked away from the table, EA never walked away from the table, Porsche never walked away from the table. We'd keep talking, trying to find terms, trying to come to a common agreement - everybody wanted to bring Porsche to the fans."

"... - everybody wanted to bring Porsche to the fans." frown

yeah right, everyone wanted as big a piece of the pie as they could get and then some more likely.

The result is a $20 dlc of 7 new cars and 23 that would have been in the original $60+ game price.

I don't mind spending some money on these games and also on dlc. I have done so on Forza, GT5, iRacing, Dirt, etc.

As long as the perception is that I am not getting taken to the cleaners/ripped off/fleeced too badly (take your pick) I go along with it...

 

But as much as I desired and have been waiting for Porsche to be in FM4 this one stinks angry

At first - Thought I should flag this as offensive.  Then reconsidering, I'm just hoping this bodykit is part of the Porsche PAK

Porsches - good!  More tracks - better! A totally working game plus all things previously mentioned - best!

 

Cheers!

Keep in mind that by May we will have ten more cars as the "Season Pass" will have been completed. There will probably be a car pack in June, after the Porsche Car Pack, since T10 stated they planned to do monthly DLC. Maybe, if we're lucky, we will see a track pack this summer. I wonder what content Horizon will come with. Will it look like Forza (graphics) with an open road setting? Are the roads fictional or real world? Urban or open country? Lots to wonder about..

I agree, though the only thing I want to know about Horizon is it going to be crap or not.

Well, that's very true. I wonder that myself.  Despite all the connection issues and the severe milking of it's fanbase I doubt T10 would put out something as crappy as NFS Unleashed was, for example.  That game had potential but just never felt right.  I am hoping that Horizon is at least "familiar" but with an open world that still lets us control how races are set up.  Probably wishful thinking.  I'd love to be able to set up a Cannon Ball Run or Mille Miglia type of event.
