I thought I read somewhere that the Porsche pack will be integrated into the game. They said the cars would start to appear as opponents in the event list races and so on. Am I right on that? I'm gonna go look.
"The Porsche Expansion Pack is more than just cars, however. The pack will also feature 20 brand new Porsche-centric events to be added to your Forza 4 career, as well as 10 new Xbox LIVE Achievements (worth a total of 250 Gamerscore points) all centered around Porsche. In addition, players can expect to see Porsche models in the AI field when racing in events, as well as integrated into Forza 4’s level reward structure."
Maybe 38 Studios should have done a "season pass".
?
Just thought it would be an interesting read. Its a situation where a start-up got big subsidies and now they are claiming they're broke and can't pay back the loan.
Glad to hear that someone from the Community Team finally woke up over there in T10 land to respond to community questions. I would have thought that there wouldn't be any restrictions, but the way it was worded left that little bit of doubt...
Just read the VIPs will get a 25% discount on the Porsche pack. That's pretty decent of Turn 10.
Yeah, at least it gets it a little closer to where this should be priced. In my opinion $20 was too much for what this is, regardless if these were all new cars or not. $20 is one third of the cost of the entire game which had hundreds of cars and hundreds of tracks. You add in that the majority if not all of these cars were modeled before the games release, which means that the cost to produce these should have been offset by the initial release of the game, regardless of if they were held back due to the liscence issues.
I think $10 is where it should be, but between the VIP discount and the fact that I got 800msp's from some MS Rewards program thingy, I'll only be $5 out of pocket. That is worth it to me for the 914, Cayman and the '73 911. Of course I wouldn't complain if MS biffed the release of this like they did the DLC earlier this month either
Ill be buying this but I will say not entirely satisfied with the car choices overall. I suspect there will be some Porsches offered upper in later DLC packs.
Actually, I noticed in the new achievements list, that there's one for the 2012 911 GT2 RS (997). It's not been shown, so I'm going with the assumtion that it's the last one.
Having bought 0 porsche's in FM3 I 2 will be waiting for people to buy this.
Or untill some one does an awesome event where I need them.
At least they waited a while till the VIP pack thing and we do get a discount.
Confirmed. All VIPs will receive a $5.00(400 pts?) discount on the Porsche Expansion Pack, but you must purchase it in-game to receive the discount.

No worries snappy im shattered and everything is hurting my head lately. Must have been his name or the title of the game. Big words for me
Trolling the FM.net forums before heading home.
I think the whole restricted Porsche rumor is officially dead.

An unfortunate turn of phrase, though trolling that forum is par for the course

never mind, my mistake.
Probably because they are BMW's a d this is a Porsche pack....
The only Porsche SUV is the Cayenne.
I was amused by the description for this latest 911 GT car, I read it as " this car was pretty good in ALMS"

Looking forward to this.
was able to get MS points so they are sitting eager to be unleash upon this package :P
the last car should be the 911-991
