Why Porsche is not included in upcoming Forza 4...

*Photo shown for illustrative purposes only

It's hard to accept the fact but it's too hurtful.

When the Forza Motorsport franchise begun, we can see Porsche models and we love to drive these models. When FM2 and FM3 came, we made Porsches our everyday cars not just for racing, but decorating it anything that comes from our imagination.

A few moments ago, I read "Under the Hood Part 1" on the official Forza Motorsport website and I got devastated that Turn 10 creative director Dan Greenawalt told that Porsche will be not included.

The reason:
"We’ve asked our contacts at EA to reconsider their position frequently and regularly over the last 18 months. We also reached out to various influential people in gaming to lobby on our behalf, and on your behalf, but that was to no avail.

In our business, we stay friendly with all of the manufacturers and licensors necessary to deliver players rich and innovative automotive experiences. As you’d expect, this includes quite a few key people in Porsche circles. To make sure we tried everything, we consulted with these advocates and were happy to find they were already aware of the situation and lobbying from within on behalf of Forza 4--and, despite the result, we thank them for their efforts.

While we respect EA’s need to run their business as they see fit, we’ve regularly collaborated in the past and hope we can find our way back to that approach. Forza had the exclusive license for all Ferrari cars, for example, on the Xbox and PC platforms. But at the end of the day, we’ve always found that we just weren’t willing to block other racing games from having Ferraris outright, as we believed that this would do nothing but hurt the racing ecosystem.

Are you disappointed that Porsche is not included on FM4?

    I haven't kept up with Forza 4's development, but it is surprising that Porsche's not represented in the game. I wonder if Turn 10 can do what Digital Polyphony did with the first Gran Turismo and have RUF represent Porsche.

    EA seems perfectly capable of shooting itself in both feet - it first withdrew all its titles from Steam (sacrificing sales on the system), dissed Steam with inane excuses when all it wanted was to drive people to its own new network, refused to provide DLC for the PC versions of some of its new games, and now this.

    EA Games! *whisper* Pissing Off Everyone

      EA's downfall was predicted more than a decade ago, when it starts to buy off and killing great developers like Westwood, Bullfrog and more... >,<

    :(

    I was looking forward to playing a 911 GT3 RS with the improved tire physics.
    The factory 911 race cars were fun to drive and were highly competitive as well.
