So for all of us xbox simulation gamers on the forum, forza 4 releases 10-11-11. One of the new features in the game is a car club feature. What this means is that we now have in game car clubs, or "clans". With the car club feature, now you can share your garage with all the other members of your club, so you don't have to try to buy every single car in the game, you can split the cars up among members, and everyone in the club can race eachother's cars. This is nice seeing as there were cars in forza 3 that were 10 and 20 million credit cars, which was ridiculous prices in in-game money. With this new feature, you could split up those high priced cars among the members so everyone would get a chance to use those cars.

Also in the car club feature, you can have club specific paint jobs if there is someone in your club that is a good car painter and they can create paint jobs for the car club when racing as a team or participating in team events in-game, such as top gear football. Yes they've added a multiplayer game type of top gear football, just like they've done on the show in the UK.

So what I'm proposing is that we start a pennock's car club on forza. I would be willing to start that club as I've got the game preordered, and if my gamestop is doing a midnight release for it, I'll be there at midnight picking it up. What I don't know is what I should call the club. Obviously pennock's has to be in the name somewhere, but I'd like to get some feedback on what you would like, so we all know what to search for when the game ships.

Some ideas I have right now: (very basic ideas for now)

Pennock's Forum Car Club

Pennock's Fiero Car Club

Pennock's Racing


I'll add more as I think of them or as more are suggested.

Thanks for any feedback you guys can provide and lets hope they put the fiero in the game finally!

Sorry, this was supposed to be posted in OT, Cliff would you be kind enough to move it over for me?

im kinda pissed at the Forza series since they dropped the Fiero(s) from the DLC car packs for Forza 3... So i dunno if ill get it, cause the main reason i got Forza3 was because of the Fieros..

Iv been playing NFS - Shift2 unleashed.. And thats a good game.

Heck, if this goes through I'll have to buy Forza 4 just for that! I have Forza 3 but I haven't even played it yet because I'm still trying to finish Forza 2 lol.

I love Forza 3 and have an extensive storefront. I heard that all your liveries are transferable to your forza 4 storefront which is amazing!

And NFS shift 2 is to Forza as a Mera is to a real 308, its good, but it's just not the same.

My son has already preordered it, that and I'm anxious to see what the Kinect integration looks like.

I have Forza 3, and plan to purchase Forza 4, so hell yea, I would be up for this.

I know there is 10 hours of "autovista" content exclusive to the kinect. Bascially it is like an indepth car gallery with Jeremy Clarkson's narrations for every car.

They (Forza) didn't drop the Fiero out of the line-up. It was one of the cars in the Jalopnik car pack to be voted on by gamers, and the Fiero didn't get enough votes.

I did a preorder a few weeks back. I'm in, but won't be able to play like a mad man. We have a 10 month old.

If the Forza III stables are transferable.... that would be awesome. My III garage is massive. I still have a few 1% times, and many single digit percent lap times.

I'm sure I'll get the game pretty soon after its release so count me in. Of course I never finished Forza 2 or 3, but I started to get boring after I got through 50% of the game racing on the small amount of tracks with slightly different layours. I probably have over 150hrs into both games though lol

Glad to see a lot of interest! Also what's great is that we don't all need to be online at the same time to race against eachother. The game has a rivals mode too, in which you will be able to race against your friend's times with their ghost running laps around the track with you. Turn 10 did a lot of work in the asynchronous play aspect of the game. I know that your garages will not transfer over per se, but in Forza 4 they will look at your garage from Forza 3 and the game will be more tailored to the cars that you liked to drive in forza 3. So, it will be a more personalized experience for everyone.

They're creative design lead guy has said in various interviews is that his vision for the game is that no two person's garage/car collection will be the same. That everyone's garage will be an extension of themselves. I hope that what he envisions will come to fruition through the game. By going off what I have seen in interviews, it should be a phenomenal game.

The demo releases Oct. 3!

Here is a link to the car list!

No Porsches and no Fieros!

No Fiero. But I see they have the new GTO, the G8, and the Solstice that will be pretty cool. Hopefully we can get the Fiero in a car pack later on.

Boooo. They had all those cars in F3. Sigh -__-

Maybe Jalopnik will get a voted list together again for a car pack for Forza 4.

If so we are going to have to spam votes for the Fiero.

if they put a fiero in the downloadable packs i would even buy an xbox to play it.

the 87 trans am GTA is a nice touch.

no Saturn Sky Redline Love... Saturn ION... but no SKY. Seems silly really, considering that the car was already modelled and created for Forza 3. To update it for this game would take nothing. I hope that list is incomplete or else i'll be a tad disappointed...

------------------

There's been a few strange choices made by Microsoft leading up to Forza4. If nobody noticed, the Wireless Racing Wheel is discontinued in favour of a gawky looking thing akin to what you'd use with a Wii. Come on guys, you have a game like Forza and want to give us a Mario Kart wheel?

Am very interested to see how the Kinect integration works though.

As far as I know there isn't a complete list out yet. Turn 10 has been releasing the make/model of cars that will be in Forza4 on facebook and twitter. That being said I still don't expect a Fiero but comment from time to time just making sure the name Fiero is mentioned. Can't believe there is going to be a Nissan Leaf and a Prius

http://twitter.com/#!/Turn10Studios

Yeah there isn't a complete list of cars set for the release yet. I doubt that the full list will be released before the game comes out, or not until just before.

The Demo was released yesterday, and I have been playing it today.

The game is so much more realistic it's weird. Good, but weird.

Anyone else been playing the Demo?

i might have to buy an Xbox360 to try this out.. since there super cheap now.

so where is our proposal to spam them with requests.. I mean god sakes man the cyclone is on there?!?! granted that truck is sweet, but so are our cars. I just played it this morning plan on picking it up.. so many games not enough time to play!!! I hate getting old

I think the 88 GT and Formula would be a nice choice... I just really hate how they are avoiding our cars like the plague...

------------------
3800 SC/IC Formula whines more than your girl... LSD'd

been playing the demo, definitely interested in the racing club

I have Forza 2 and 3, didn't play much on 3 cause I got GT-5 but thinking about getting 4 but I don't have an xbox anymore. I was hoping they would bring out Forza 4 edition xbox but they didn't as apple didn't bring out a new phone. So I'm undecided on getting Forza 4 plus I don't fast enough Internet connection out in BFE land.

I've also been playing the demo, I like it a lot. I can't wait for the full game so I can turn off the racing music. That's my only gripe about the demo is that i can't adjust the volume of the music while I'm in the game.

I'll be picking up the game the day of release, probably first thing in the morning as the store opens up, so I can get the car club set up as soon as possible.

I was at Fry's today and they have Forza 4 on the shelf! When we brought it to the register, they wouldn't give it to me. Go figure :P

I actually went into the store on Tuesday to ask a few questions about the season pass that they are offering. And the girl behind the counter pulled one of the copies out of the cabinet and handed it to me to look over.

Preordered it. Though I think you guys in the States get it a few days ahead of us this time around, with FM2 and FM3 we got it a few days earlier. Was nice being at the top of the leaderboard for 24 hours

Just picked up my copy and got a club set up to go. The club is Pennocks Racing so feel free to join!

Downloading all the add-ons now but I'll be signed up soon

I need the club tag to be able to find It. Its a four letter tag?

Edit: I got it, its PFF

Sorry about that, I didn't realize you needed the club tag to find it. And yes, it is Pff

Had a power loss today and corrupted my save file at least I didn't lose a lot of work but restarting now to see what all that is going to do to the cars I shared in the Club house etc.

All of my shared cars are still there but I can't touch them. LOL

When are we gonn have our first Pennock's Racing car meet/ cruise??

When is good for everyone? My schedule changes from week to week, so I can't nail down a specific day weekly or bi weekly if we want to do something regular. But I'll try to be around as much as possible.
