Also, Forza 3 had 35 Porsches. This, just 4.


And only the new exciting ones. Forza treated Porsche with respect to their heritage. EA is just like "Look! New Porsches! They are fast, expensive and shiny! Very shiny! Ooooooo...."

I realize that the vast majority of people probably don't care about the heritage, they just know that Porsches are fast and fast cars are cool, therefore, Porsches are cool, so I kinda get EA's reasoning in not putting in vintage 911s. Don't get me wrong, I like the new stuff, but put a 2012 911 next to a 1973, and chances are I won't even look at the modern car.

But man, why does Porsche itself agree to this cheapening of their image?

You are right J-2 but why Porsche signed deal with EA when they could get more money getting their car in Forza, GT, TDU...
And i think that best simulation are made by SimBin. I played Forza 4 & GT5 but GTR & RACE series are better. Only problem with SimBin is that they aren't owned by some big company and they don't have money.

And they blocked Forza from having Porsches, just for trying to get sales. They´re so desperate, they converted NFS into a mix of Heavy Rain and GTA, and they all know to do is trying to get attention, doing things like that.

To sum up how they´re thinking right now:

"Hey look! We have Porsches! We´re now the only game that have them! Also, we´re introducing the new 991 Carrera in here! And you can even win a real one!! And one of the main characters is played by Christina Hendricks!! That gorgeous redhair from Mad Men!! And one of the trailers was directed by Michael Bay!! Awesome, isn´t it??!! Go and buy our game!!"

Yes, it´s sad when you ran out of ideas, and you have to keep up with stupid things like this, in order to attract attention. They don´t care about quality anymore, they just think about money.

I can only hope, for the sake of games, and Porsches in them, that The Run is a fail in sales. They deserve it. (I´m sorry for the developers, though)

When i remember the good old days, when EA wasn´t a corporate monster, and did good NFS games...ironically, one of the best was Porsche Unleashed/2000, when all this began, but hey! That was an actual homage to Porsche, not like modern day NFS.

Also, Forza 3 had 35 Porsches. This, just 4. But it´s not because they have a limited range of cars, they feature 7 Nissan, 7 Ford, or 5 Lamborghini...

Why do they want the damn license then? Showing off. That´s why.

GT never had any Porsche car, so obviously this was never going to be anyway.

Where it should have been, as i said before, was Forza 4. It was already made, but EA decided to play dirty, so, no any serious car game will have this...

And again, i hope they finally lose the license, and both games can use Porsche, i miss driving them a lot...(EA can go back to sleep if they think i´m buying this just for driving Porsches...i prefer to go back to FM3 and drive them again)

Exactly. EA must realize that people aren't happy with them hogging the Porsche license. I think EA just keep it to themselves so if you want to drive Porsche's (on PS3, like me) EA is your only choice. Which sucks. I guess the only people who don't have a problem with this are EA (duh :o ) and RUF.

Yes, RTR. It's a Vaughn Gittin Jr's own design. It's actually a toned down version for those that can't afford the higher performance version, I believe. Probably will get some drifting action in the game's story.


He designed this himself? Cool (That explains the "RTR" with the Mustang in S2U)

This very car was going to be featured in FM4's autovista mode...

So, Porsche prefers to be in a unrealistic arcade saga running out of ideas, rather than a serious car simulator, where cars get a decent treatment. (Autovista cars even more)

If only Forza and GT could use them...
