Normally new car announcements for video games are hardly worth writing about — particularly for me, a man with no interest in cars or racing games — but after years of wrangling, it looks as though the Porsche is finally coming to the Forza Motorsport series.
Not content with throwing some Kinect support into Forza 4, Microsoft is also releasing a wireless, motion-controlled racing wheel for the game. It didn’t sound too promising when it was first announced. And doesn’t look too promising in action, either.
The people over at Turn 10 Studios give us another sneak peak into how and why Forza Motorsport 4‘s tracks are chosen and created. In this video they show off the historic Hockenheim track in Germany.
Turn 10 Studios, the people behind the Forza Motorsport series, have a rough job. In order to make a top-shelf racing game, they had to go to one of the most beautiful places in the world and hike, examine, and photograph the landscape. They have our sympathies.
Forza Motorsport 4 will change car culture forever. But before that, it’s getting an E3 trailer.
