Forza Motorsport 4 Trailer

There’s no question that the biggest threat to Gran Turismo’s throne in the pinnacle of automotive racing video games is the Forza franchise for the Xbox 360. So you can imagine just how left out Xbox owners must have felt when just about every Playstation 3 owner on the planet was scooping up Gran Turismo 5 a few weeks ago.

Well, we have some very good news for you Forza-playing gamers out there. The next installment of the highly-successful racing franchise – Forza 4 – is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2011. Unlike the gap between GT4 and GT5 – about five years – the gap between Forza 3 and Forza 4 is a mere two years!

The countdown to the release of Forza 4 has officially kicked off after the Forza website released a teaser video of the upcoming Xbox-exclusive video game. Other than this video, details are still scarce about what’s going to be included in the game, but at the very least, Xbox owners won’t have to suffer the same excruciating wait Playstation owners had to go through with GT5.
