When last we checked, Forza Motorsport won't support force feedback. We're not going to dwell on that sad fact and move onto other things. There' are a whole lot of other things probably going in the world of Forza. With a November release, that leaves about 16 weeks total before we get to see Forza.x
For the team, there is obviously less time, much less than 16 weeks. Between final submissions, approval and mastering of a few hundred-thousand discs the team has closer to 12 weeks to cramp, polish, tune, tweak and perfect every pixel, poly, texture, vehicle and track in Forza. 12 weeks isn't a whole lot of time, especially when you're trying to compete against one undefeated PS2 racer.
It's quite the endeavor when a design team is trying to cram in about 150 vehicles in such a short amount of time--all the while making sure the game plays, looks and feels the way it should, too. We can already hear detractors claiming, "But GT4 has over 500 cars!" Yeah, GT4 will have over 500 cars and probably 400 of them will suck.
Scott Lee, Forza-team bossman, admitted, "We're not taking the kitchen-sink approach." It's a jab at GT4 that is truly fitting. Who the hell wants to drive a Honda Fit or Toyota Ist? We sure as hell don't. Racing games are exactly that, racing games and it's no fun when your vehicle has neither triple digit horsepower or can attain triple digit velocity.
We have yet to hear what the final vehicle count--it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 vehicles--but we do know we'll see the following list of vehicles. Mind you, we didn't use our Jedi mind-skills to get this list. We simply watched the multiple videos of Forza, frame-by-frame to determine what cars in so far. We also studied all the screen shots we have to double check the cars.
