Forza 4 Cover, Details Revealed

Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated Kinect-compatible releases of 2011, Forza Motorsport 4 should be the ultimate racing experience and an undeniable reason to own an Xbox 360 this Christmas. This week, the game's cover was revealed (as you can see here, boasting the Ferrari 458 Italia as its flagship vehicle), along with new details on what to expect in the package. Owners of Forza 3 will apparently be able to import their game saves provided they didn't delete them from their hard drives, and depending on what level of racing status the player achieved in that game they will be awarded with new cars as gifts to automatically be used in their races. The Top Gear branding on the cover also confirms that the international show- there's an American version as well as our own- will play a part in proceedings, with tracks used by its presenters appearing in select championships and reportedly with Jeremy Clarkson introducing the game's opening cinematic. Clearly, we'll have to wait until E3 on the 6th of June to see the full extent of what developer Turn 10 Studios has to offer us in the new Forza, but judging by what we know there's really no reason to be concerned that they might have rested on their laurels like Activision and EA are sometimes consider to do with Call of Duty and FIFA. Forza Motorsport 4 releases this Autumn.
