Will Forza 4 get the FR-S and/or BRZ?
 

I don't think that there is a specific thread on this topic but I know it is one that many of us (Forza players) are thinking about quite heavily.

GT5 got the 86 and if I recall correctly the commercial before they released had the 86 as well as the FR-S in it and they made a lot of hype about the FR-S coming to GT5.

As far as I know, GT5 still doesn't have the FR-S. Only the 86 has come to GT5.

So what's this about? Do you think that Toyota has gone for GT5 on the PS3 because in Japan the PS3 is much more popular the Forza and the Xbox?

However, in the U.S. the XBox appears to be a good bit more popular (sales figures can be used to represent this "popularity".)

Would it make more sense for Scion not to agree to put the FR-S in GT5 but in Forza instead? Does Toyota have some kind of agreement with GT5 to keep the BRZ out? Is Subaru holding out for Forza? Are Scion and Subaru both competing for the rights to put "only" their car in the game? Questions questions questions... This is all just speculation... But it is interesting.

This licensing stuff can get tricky - and I bet it's going to get really messy with the 86/GT86/FR-S/BRZ.. but surely Forza will get one of them. Most likely not the 86, but perhaps the FR-S or BRZ. Which will it be?

I hope one of the FT platform cars comes to Forza. I'd like to see the BRZ, but any of them will be fine since they're essentially all the same.

Considering there were partials of the concept on the Collectors Edition of Forza 3. I'm hoping it's just a simple matter of licensing that can be resolved in time.

They did strike a deal with EA for Porsche... why not FRS/BRZ?

Hopefully we'll get FR-S/BRZ soon.

2JZ swap? :D

I looked this up and apparently Polyphony managed to get licenses for both Twins.

Badned seems like the guy in the know based on other people's comments.

I don't know how long "soon" is but it's apparently not expired yet since he said that in Feb.

I hope its in Forza Horizon for sure and the current one would be nice too.

I am about to just buy another PS3 just so I can drive it on gt5....

Toyota marketing has the fr-s coming to forza...

This has been something that was driving me insane for a while, I WANT it in forza, I do remember reading somewhere though that it will be in Horizons and not forza 4. Don't know if that's true or not but at least its something.

I already could not wait for horizons as it is, Forza realism mixed with NFS style street racing....ILL TAKE IT. this is what I have been waiting on the NFS people to make and instead they keep making garbage, there hasn't been a good NFS since underground 2 (maybe most wanted, meh)

Hey no fair! Share your source please. http://allch-chcar.com/saved/gideon_beg.gif

I'm in contact with the audio team...

that means ill hold out on another ps3

Ahh! So you're part of the best sounding racing simulation ever.

I must thank you :)

I drove GT5 for the first time with my new racing cockpit last night. The GT86 WAS fun but the audio is sooo poor.

I wish a game could combine the best aspects of Gran Turismo and Forza together

Gran Turismo
+Driving dynamics
-horrible layout
-meh graphics
-limited modifications

Forza
-Driving physics leave a lot to be desired
+Layout (although forza 2 was the best)
+Looots of modifications + swaps
+I like that bit with jeremy clarkson talking about cars

Basically I only like gran turismo for actual driving and the only thing I don't like about Forza is driving. I'll still buy every Forza game because I like just building cars.

The car won't be in Forza 4. Expect it in future games though unless Toyota signs another deal.

I teach motorsports and we did an fr-s "rollout" at my track. Part of the new scion/fr-s marketing was cetered around the age of the average male gamer.. Long story short, fr-s will be in gt5 & fm4. Don't know when, or how long PD has exclusive use.

I'm not sure there has been an official statement. If so, source? I was told differently at the end of may.

Can you elaborate, please?

One of the links above has a post from a moderator that says Polyphony has the rights, but to only expect it in future titles. So maybe Horizons.

Cool, i see that. I was hoping for an official statement, but that'll work. Fwiw, there was def. a forza4 logo at the toyota event.

unfortunately no, I can't. :)

Gran Turismo FTW!!!!

That's not much to go on. Here you had my hopes up that you had a source but that's your own speculation. We know it'll be in Forza franchise but "when?" is the question.

I did this, and was reminded why I switched to Forza. The driving physics in GT 5 are some of the worst I have ever seen. And that is coming from a guy who used to race home after school to play the original GT. Forza has lapped it.

I hope F4 gets the cars, but I think Sony got it for a while.

I know someone was saying this but we should get a FT86 forza club going. We need to get this going if its not already. That way when someone races dirty we can butcher them on the forum.

iirc someone did make one

lol no.

You're just used to one's physics over the other. Forza's physics are way more arcady. GT5 physics are some of the best in the industry for a game aimed at consumers like this one is. Part of the reason GT5 took so long was perfecting these physics. Forza's engine audio is WAY nicer though. GT5 seriously slacked in that department.

^This. I'm not saying Forza has arcady physic or vice versa... BUT Yeah, Forza got that engine audio down better than GT for sure

It was @Sea1monkey2

lol It's not my own speculation. I can't mention specifics more than i did. I didn't say forza franchise, i said fm4. The marketing is already in place. Sorry to get your hopes up, relax.. Lol..

Drive your fr-s/brz on track to tide you over. :)

I disagree. PD dropped the ball on GT5. I'm a huge GT fan and i hate the 360, but FM4 is better imo. The physics are not bad. GT5 does not feel better even with a $$$ cockpit and wheel setup.

I've driven quite a lot of cars on real race tracks. GT cars are magnetic to the track. Forza cars react more realistic.

I was hoping the Twins in Forza would tide me over until I could get one. I've got at least a year or two of college ahead of me and my business contacts have all disappeared, my fault of course.


There was already a very long discussion about GT5 vs Forza4. Near as I can tell, the only thing GT has on Forza IS the driving physics.

IMO, GT5 is easier to race and drift on than FM3... not sure about FM4 though.

Sounds like you're doing the responsible thing. Godspeed, man!



Just my humble opinion. Play whichever you like better. :)

Same mechanics, It feels like it's hard to do, but with a right tune and suspension, it could be done. Kinda like in the real world lol

What if they both got the best and favorites from each game, and .... wait for it.... made a collaboration game!

Hopefully Horizon will have the 86. That's what I'm holding out for.

The major thing is, both of em just need to look what make other one better & bring it in into their game

It would take 10 years for GT5 to finish remodeling all the standard cars and add forza-like audio, at their current pace.

No, it'll be less than that. They just putting other extra stuff that caused it to delay the game to come out
