Can someone link it for me? My browser just can't link it...

According to them, EA has the exclusivity license to Porsche.

Hate this kind of news. First, GT 5 won't get Porsche, now Forza 4 as well. Car manufacturers exclusivity is bad :(

been discussed in hype thread.

RUF is in there which are porsche's essentially manufactured by RUF using unmarked chassis and shells from porsche themselves apart from diffrent engines they are still essentialyl porsche's when it comes down to the chassis etc.

So they arent realy gone, but they are there under a diffrent marque essentially.

This. Unless they can get all the RUF's. But then again, I'm tired of circuit racing.

the funny thing i find about this is that it in no way influences whether i'll buy Forza 4 or the enjoyment i'll get from it, but just means i won't buy any EA games new from now on.

I only owned 1 porsche in FM3 and wasn't that impressed to be honest, so I'm not gonna be missing out on much. At least all of the good car manufacturers are gonna be on it :)

Well, I will mourn the loss of my beloved Carrera GT and a few 911 models but, I'll live. I still can't wait to play Forza 4! Best console racing/driving sim of the generation confirmed! :D

Shame on EA for being so selfish with the Porsche license. Perhaps MS should play hardball with them and deny them access to their Ferrari license.

Well at least we know why. I really can't stand EA.

That aside, I'm still getting Forza. No worries. I love driving Porsche, but I love a bunch of other cars even more.Ferrarri's and BMW's in particular.

Just license RUF. Problem solved.AcidSoldner

RUF doesn't have a GT1 Strassenversion, 959 or Carrera GT. :?

forgettable cars like porsche javafriek



You clearly have no idea of the heritage of the Porsche, or how much it has contributed to sports cars since the 1960's. Porsche has also been a mainstay in auto-racing since the 1970's, and have held the most Le Mans titles in the history of the race (IIRC).

True... but most of my favourite Porsches aren't represented by RUF (356C, 959, Carrera GT, GT1 SV). The 1980's 911 is the only one they have, and even then they are only the Turbo's. There is a lot more to Porsche than just the 911. Especially in racing.

Again, I know. It blows, a lot. But it's pretty obvious that EA isn't gonna get rid of that license anytime soon so might as well get what we can get.

It's the line of thinking "instead of giving us something, let's take it out from our competitors". It's a stupid move, which if becomes standard can be terrible for the sim genre (which isn't the most popular genre this days to begin with).

According two of the comments from the link, in return Turn 10 denied the use of the Ferrari licence to EA.

IF true, did EA really choose Porsche over Ferrari. Because if Ferrari weren't in a game that would be worse in my opinion.

That would require you to own a 360 to play forza 3 and we both know you don't own one because you are a fanboy of the third place last place ps3

Go ahead and add me to XBL BroknOath, maybe we can even race. :o

Not really a deal breaker. At all.

Are people actually not buying the game because of no Porsche. That's pretty weird to me. :?

Still looking like a great Racing game, great sequel to one of the best racing games of all time Forza 3. :)
