forza motorsport 4 PORSCHE is coming back to Forza 4!

calster17 · March 5, 2012

They better add a 993 version. Best looking Porsche ever. Imo.

The 993 GT2 was in 3, so I'd be surprised if it was't added!:cheeky:

More info and some confirmed cars:

Turn 10 and Microsoft announced at their Spring Showcase that Porsches will be coming to Forza Motorsport 4 in May with the Porsche Expansion Pack.

The Porsche Expansion Pack will include 30 Porsches – 7 of which are new to the Forza franchise – 20 World Tour events, rival events and 10 new achievements worth 250 Gamerscore. The Porsches will also become rewards in the career and will also be driven by the AI in various racing events, but Dan Greenawalt, Turn 10’s Creative Director, was unwilling to comment whether they’d make it into the Autovista.

“This is obviously a big deal to us,” said Greenawalt, “Porsche just speaks to people that, honestly, a lot of brands don’t. We were very sad as a team to not have Porsche in the game.”

“Nobody wanted to keep Porsche from the fans. We didn’t. The license is held by EA – it’s a sub-license from Porsche itself – Porsche didn’t want to keep it from the fans, EA didn’t. We simply couldn’t find the common terms that were going to allow us to add them to the game.

“Even when we announced that they weren’t going to be in, we didn’t stop working on it,” said Greenawalt. “We announced that because we were at a point of no return where they couldn’t make it into the game. That didn’t mean we stopped trying… it took us a while, but we found common terms and were able to deliver this pack. The issue was of course that we had not built the cars yet, so even when we found common terms we had to go and rebuild the cars from Forza 3 and add the 7 new.”

“Generally, the rule of thumb around the studio is that it takes 6 months and a lot of that is because some work is parallel, some work is consecutive, and so there’s capturing, building and tuning… and that takes a long time,” the Creative Director continued. “The fastest car we did was just under 4 months” and even with laser scanning and CAD, it’s a lengthy process.

You can expect such Porsches as the 911, the 962, the James Dean 550A and the 911 Classic Sport, notes Greenawalt.

The Porsche Expansion Pack will mean that it’ll bring the total car count to 625 cars, however, because the Season Pass finishes at the end of April, the Porsche expansion will cost you money – a price yet to be announced.

"Expect Porsches such as the 911"

Eudemon · March 5, 2012

The 23 they will take from Forza 3 wouldn't have been much of a big deal as they would have had extremely high resolution models already made and even with the new ones like the 918 and 991, they were attempting to sign-up Porsche so they would have made at least a few of those models so in effect maybe 4/5 of the 7 are actually brand new created from scratch imo.

T3hReaper91 · March 5, 2012

Its gonna cost 1600 MSP -.-

T1M · March 5, 2012

Yep, of course M$ have to squeeze money out of whatever they can.

IMO it should be 560MSP, only for the new Porsches. We're paying for something that we used to get for free. :confused:

ah no, not the GT2... why not this one?

Ryzza5 · March 6, 2012

I wonder what led to this happening? :hmmm:

Milli · March 6, 2012

Well, Porsches will still getting smashed up in FM4... :lol:

TimBud · March 6, 2012

Ha, nice one Ryzza... they put the final nail in the coffin by escaping in an Audi. Brilliant.

Loz · March 6, 2012

If i'm right, FM4 would be the first game with both Porsche and RUF?

Flo · March 6, 2012

Nope, another game had that too, but I forgot the name :hmmm:

Flo · April 28, 2012

Just under a month :D

who's going to buy this?

I'm not :lol:

TimBud · April 28, 2012

Have just been playing in some of my Porsches in FM3. Can't wait for them to come to 4.

Way more excited about Porsche than the "Top Gear" pack.

Ryzza5 · April 28, 2012

Not fussed about what cars come to FM4 because I find the tracks too boring. Waiting for new tracks or for a special pCARS announcement. :)

TimBud · April 28, 2012

Most of the rumours I've heard recently are that there'll be no new tracks added...

Still hoping they'll give us back Rally Di Positano and New York, as they're still modelled from FM3, so they won't need any work doing ;)

993 is good, but -63 please :D

Paladin Skylark · May 7, 2012

#54 911 GT3 Cup added as well.

I figure there'll be at least 4 of these cup cars.

TimBud · May 8, 2012

Ha yeah, all exactly the same but with a slightly different livery :p

Prophecy · May 8, 2012

Something tells me that they wont be doing the hundred-odd gt3 cup cars, i expect 2 at the most, notice the amount of dupe race cars in the game isnt as high as forza 3? So excited to have the 993 GT2 back.
