Forza Motorsport: Difference between revisions

** R1 and X class - Le Mans Prototype cars.

* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Most obvious in ''4'', where the cars each AI driver drives are the same colour, when a car's colour can be chosen.

* [[Cool Car|Cool Cars]]: Hundreds of them! And that's ''before'' you start loading them with performance upgrades and light body kits.

* [[Crossover]]: ''Forza Motorsport 4'' features the Top Gear (UK) test track, and Jeremy Clarkson will provide commentary on dozens of cars in the ''Autovista'' mode. All the Reasonably Priced Cars from the UK and US Top Gear will show up as well.

* [[Executive Meddling]]: The reason why Porsche isn't in ''Forza 4''. [[Electronic Arts]] basically holds the rights to use Porsche vehicles in their games, and in the middle of Forza's development, they told the Forza developers to get rid of the Porsches.

** [http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/en-us/porsche_expansion_announce/?fwlhd=1 Porsche will be returning to FM4 as an expansion pack in May.]

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Small cars like the Lotus Elan and Mazda Miata offer extremely good handling, but they're ''tiny'' and slight nudges can cause them to spin out.

* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: ''Forza 4'' had a bug in online player where players may hang up in loading screen - sometimes up to ''five minutes'', until the game boots them out to the lobby or pukes up a "disc is dirty" error. When this happens, the ''entire lobby'' gets stuck in the loading screen until the person causing the delay get booted out by the game. This was patched in the March 23rd update.

* [[Green Aesop]]: ''Forza 4'' has hybrids like the dreaded Toyota Prius, and electric cars like the Chevrolet Volt, Nissan Leaf, and Tesla Roadster. There's a player title reward for driving 1,000 miles in hybrid or electric cars.

* [[Hard Mode Perks]]: Disabling driver assists (such as anti-lock brakes, traction control, racing/braking line) and increasing the AI difficulty nets you more cash - disabling every assist and enabling the hardest AI will give you an extra 165% cash on top of the regular winnings in ''Forza 4''.

* [[Itasha]]: Can be done from 2 onwards.

** Can actually be used to a player's advantage online; risque paintings or vinyl groups have actually [[Distracted By the Sexy|distracted other players]] [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|ogling them as they drive along]], often causing them to crash.

** The car dominating the lower class leaderboards in ''Forza 4''? The hybrid Chevrolet Spark.

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters|Loads And Loads Of Cars]] ''Forza 4'' has almost 500 cars on its own. The monthly DLC packs and the Porsche [[Expansion Pack]] increases the car count to over 600.

* [[Magikarp Power]]: The [[The Alleged Car|Datsun 510]] and [[Joke Character|VW Rabbit]] in the third game absolutely dominate with enough modification, although any heavily modified car applies.

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The HUMMER H1 Alpha in ''Forza 4''. It's nigh-impossible to really damage, and weighs the better part of ''eight thousand pounds''. The "Weight removal" upgrade on it effectively acts like removing an entire Ford Focus from the weight of the truck.

** And even after applying full weight reduction, it's still heavier than the second-heaviest car in the game.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Any event with a field of R1 Le Mans Prototype cars and no assists. These cars have 6-700 horsepower but only weigh 900kg ''at most'', so the slightest twitch on the throttle is almost guaranteed to cause you to spin out and mash into a wall.

* [[Old Save Bonus]]: Having a ''Forza 3'' game save will reward ''Forza 4'' players with additional credits, some unicorn cars (see [[Rare Vehicles]] below), and an achievement.

* [[Scenery Porn]]: The Fujimi-Kaido track in 3; cliff faces, rivers, waterfalls, and none of this is in the skybox. You can actually look alongside the track and see some rapids with water flowing over them. They even put in a small scenic overlook so you could stop and gawk at it all.

** Forza 4. The Alps. Whoa.

** The "Out of time achievement in 4 is to [[Back to The Future|reach 88 miles per hour in a Delorean]].

** The loading screen for Drift events has a [[Initial D|white Toyota AE86]] drifting through a corner.

* [[Technology Marches On]]: The Autovista description of the Delorean's interior describes how advanced its tape player and AM/FM radio is

* [[Technology Porn]]: The ''Autovista'' mode in 4 is this.

** This is pretty much taken exactly from the review he did of the car on [[Top Gear]], but without the additional [paraphrased] line of: "Personally, I think it sounds like the God of Thunder... Gargling with nails!"

* [[Teleport Spam]]: A non-intentional, hilarious side effect of players joining with terrible connections. Cars with poor connections will start phase-shifting across the track wildly, suddenly appearing in the sky, partially submerged in the ground, or [[Tele Frag|inside someone's car]].
