In a recent interview published by turn 10 Dan Greenwalt revealed some interesteing facts

"For Forza 4, we took an entirely new approach to our tire simulation. This time, we threw all of the old data away and asked Pirelli to provide us with all-new data for everything. Pirelli did custom tests on a huge variety of tires to cover all of our cases—including tire width and height, compound, inflation pressure, heat, wear, sidewall height, load, angle, etc. We then changed our system to accept the real-world data directly and without any fix-up from us at all. This means that the tires in Forza 4 behave exactly as the Pirelli test tires did, even in complex situations where multiple parameters are changing rapidly."

And now the interesting bit

Forza Motorsport 4 will also come with a new simulation steering option that disables all driving aids for sim racers using the title with a wheel, does this mean that they were driving aids in the last forza 3, for me the information below pretty much confirms it for me.

Finally, we added the “simulation steering” option. This option removes all of the controller aides. There were very few of these aides on the wheel controller, but there were several on the console controller. With these aides removed, you will no longer get help finding the right counter-steering angle. If you over-countersteer (meaning you overcorrect by steering into the angle of the slide), the wheels do as commanded. This usually results in a wicked tank-slapper. Also, initial turn-in is direct and linear. This can feel very twitchy. When you command the game to go lock to lock-to-lock, it assumes you mean it and lets you live with the consequences.

Batman and Robin are NOT GAY. Nope. Not gay. I'm pretty sure this meme is wrong too.

Its been confirmed, the PC version of the game is going to require Games for Windows Live, cause I don't already have enough DRM on my PC what with securom, steam, impulse(okay, this is a far lesser evil and I added it because I want to support stardock) and Ubisoft's bullshit and soon Origin too. Don't try to blame this on piracy, its nothing to to with it since piracy actually increases sales. At least the game will probably be good enough for me to want to actually install GFWL letgs just hope its not a carbon copy of the first game.

 

Mass Effect 3 will be shepherds final outing, in the mass effect universe .

 

 

"After this, Commander Shepard's story is complete," producer Michael Gamble told site. When asked if that meant Shepard definitely won't be in future Mass Effect games, Gamble responded, "Correct." That doesn't mean the Mass Effect universe is in danger of going away. Bioware CEO Dr. Ray Muzyka told PC Gamer that the studio has "ambitious plans to continue this franchise," and is looking at Mass Effect 3 as an opportunity to make an entry point for newcomers to the series.
