Worth reading. Microsoft E3 2011 Press Conference: Forza Motorsport 4 Preview - E3 2011 16 players confirmed along with 10/11/11 release date Looks like Jalopnik got the scoop! "Graphics (Polygon count size does matter!): For starters, Turn 10's re-rendered every single vehicle, ripping the graphics engine down and building it back up. And the results are simply staggering. Cars are up from Forza 3's 400,000 polygons to over one million polygons per car. They've added real-light changes like blooming and lens flares help make the cars look like they're really in the environment. Turn 10 is achieving in real-time at 60 frames per second what was once something Pixar needed weeks to render." "Physics Engine (Kick the tires and light the fires!): Not only has Turn 10 rebuilt the physics engine from scratch, they've also tried to address one of the most glaring problems with Forza 3, the tires. That's why, for enthusiasts anyway, the most important addition to the game is going to be the tire physics. Thanks to a partnership with Pirelli, Turn 10 has completely redone the modeling for tire dynamics."
