When Forza 4 for Xbox was released last fall, Porsche cars were not included due to licensing issues with EA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I bought the game anyway and played some but it has been collecting dust the past few months. Guess it's time to dust it off since it was recently announced that Porsche will return to Forza as an Expansion Pack costing $20. The EP will include 30 Porsches - 23 from FM3 and 7 new cars. I would guess the 914/6 will be one of the included cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Will be interesting to see how the 914 runs with the new physics, etc of FM4. Any one have FM4 and plan to buy the Porsche pack? Any interest in getting a 914/6 spec racing league up and running again?

I will download it sometime in the next few days. I actually didn't play much if any FM4 due to a few reasons. I didn't boycott the game, but I wasn't as interested if I couldn't drive my 914 and I think the public lobbies for online play is screwed up (should not be as much of an issue for private games). So it was hard to play casually if you didn't already have a group of friends to play with.
I think they screwed up with the list of cars, but I am very glad the 914 made the cut. I think they could have dropped some of the racing 911 variants and included the 356 and most importantly (many people wanted it) a 917 (I would have preferred a short tail version). But I think they tried to keep many of what was provided before, continue with their ALMS tie in (hence the two 2011 911 GT3-RSR), some newer models (such as the 2012 models) and that didn't leave much room for some older historic cars. I am not holding my breath, but I wouldn't put it past them to try to get some extra money out of the Porsche faithful by including a 917 in a future car pack. So that way we will buy the Porsche pack and then a future car pack as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Richard |
