Microsoft has officially announced Forza Motorsport 4 with a live-action trailer at Spike TV's 2010 Video Game Awards early this morning.

After showcasing Forza Motorsport with Kinect at E3, Microsoft has confirmed that the next iteration will feature support for Kinect as well as classic controls. In addition, it looks like FM4 will be taking advantage of the Top Gear partnership announced earlier this year, but no further details were provided.

The latest iteration in the prestigious racing sim franchise will once again be developed by Turn 10 Studios, with the developer calling it the "biggest Forza Motorsport yet". Forza Motorsport 4 is set to release exclusively on the Xbox 360 in 'Fall 2011' (July-Sep).
