Default Forza 4 say bye to Porsche and hello to Ruf
Doesn't look good, I am not sure why Porsche was so stupid to only license EA. Considering EA release games that are bug ridden and then don't release patches to fix the game but yet release a new version a year later.

Still speculation but usually when the add Ruf to racing game is means it's because there are no Porsches in it.

Also they signed a deal with the ALMS, which might be a good thing. Maybe we'll see some more effort put into ALMS cars and some balance but without a RSR and updated GT2 Corvette then it doesn't make much difference. Currently only have 4 ALMS tracks and no plans to add any new ones.

Is Forza Motorsport 4 waving goodbye to Porsche?

that would suck, it was a key advantage over GT5 (since the average videogamer buys for graphics instead of physics).

If they go that route i hope they at least add the new ruf's instead of relying on t he same 3 old ones like GT5.

The fact that Porsche took a pass on a licensing deal, or that grown men are aflutter over a video game?

One of the best games i ever played ( for its day of course) was Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed .. it seemed pretty downhill from there for both EA racing games and Porsche content too ..

Ironic to see the real Porsches wearing GT5 stickers ( along with everyone else) at the Nurburgring 24
