Jeremy Clarkson better than Cortana: Official. Forza 4's Top Gear Warthog commentary proves this

Just what the hell is a burst-proof, single-unit nanoskeleton, anyway?

Words: David Houghton on August 31, 2011

So the Halo 4 Warthog is in Forza 4 as a (tragically non-driveable) easter egg. Exciting, no? Yes of course it is. What isn't too exciting, however, is Cortana's rather dull vehicle commentary from the game's car-porn Auto Vista mode. Nice that she's in there, of course, and she makes an effort with a nice, typically overblown anecdote of the epic awe and majesty of everyone's favourite balloon-wheeled buggy, but regardless her voice-over is bit on the monotonous side.

Well fear not, because the boorish, ozone-hating, first man of British motoring, Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson, has recorded an alternative. It's far more amusing, though might make the more reverent Halo obsessive a bit sad. Though that's sort of amusing too.

Dave, I bet you thought Photoshopping Clarkson into that photo was a good idea until you got to his hair.

This is an excellent easter egg. Such a shame that it cannot be driven in game.

I don't want to ruin it by watching that video. I'll get it when I'll play Forza 4. I'll have to agree though, yes Jeremy Clarkson is way better than a fictional Cortana. ^^
