I agree but the way they went out of their way to unveil other tracks like Alps, Silverstone, Spa, Bathurst etc it seems weird to just plop Yas Marina at the end with no fanfare.
Never attempt to understand Forza marketing. As Shakey himself said in King Lear: that way madness lies.

We also haven't had a official reveal or confirmation of Road Atlanta, right?
Confirmation OR denial. In fact, have any tracks been officially denied? As in never coming to FM5?

Great shop.
Are all NDAs now lifted? Was anything confirmed about driving the cars out of the homespace straight from Forzavista?
Sal, it's high time you spuffed all the beans in your Forzanads. The game's almost out!
Is it really? It's like 10 minutes from my house.

Hey ForzaGAF, been reading here forever, but now my account finally got approved, thought it would never happen.
What I've been wondering all along:
There is a code in the Limited Edition which grants you 1.250 car token and the description says you can access every single car in the game with it. So does it mean they changed that system, too? I never used car token but if I remember it right, every car >900.000cr was 3 token to purchase ingame. Now, if there are 1.250 token and only 202 cars, this must mean there is a significant increase of the costs in car token. Even if the description included DLC cars or they added a new tier for hypercars.
I always thought because of that LE code there must be 400+ cars in the game, but then Wednesday happended.
Or maybe I am just getting it totally wrong.

didnt they show a picture of every car before the release of forza 4? i wonder if we'll get that this time too
If you like beer, you owe it to yourself to visit.
Congratulations! From what I recall, the language is:
So any rather than every may explain the confusion, though we're admittedly light on some of the specifics.
You're not kidding

RANDOM LAZY OLD FORZA GIF DUMP
By far the best replays in the whole series.
Cannot wait to see them in 5.

To be honest, who needs words..?
Phenomenal.
I love well modeled buildings in game.
The replay cameras on the top gear track felt like some of the best in forza 4, but then they used all the tv angles so no wonder why. When it comes to turn 10 making their own angles on tracks they feel off while GT has mostly nailed them since the first game.
Maybe would love to see a few full autovista videos aswell maybe Hel or BadNed will post here soon with some info

Lord's Prayer, from The PGR Bible:
Our Racer in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your Kudos come,
your will be done,
on Xbox as in heaven
Give us today our daily race.
Forgive us our spins,
as we forgive those who spin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from boring.
For the kudos,
the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever.
Amen.

Just watched people play F5 at a Microsoft kiosk at the mall. And honestly it doesn't wow like the screen shots do. It looked like a higher res F4. The materials inside the cockpits still all look like plastic. I think I'm just not a fan of Forza's art direction. It looks too much like a Pixar movie and less like reality.
well I liked your lancia integrale duck hunt edition, and it didnt look too real to me
plus your cat more pixar than mine, so what gives sportzhead?
well, yeah, but when the r8 was competing officially, it had restrictors on the turbos that where larger than the size of the turbos hehe
that engine was a beast , and a masterpiece of technology testbed
This engine was quite the beast as well:
Porsche 917-30 Can Am Engine

Ha. Didn't think you would have remembered that car. That reminds me, why haven't we seen anything about painting cars?
But F5 really was a let down in terms of graphics. The steering wheel and hand/arm animations still look unrealistic. The interior definitely didn't look as highly detailed in game as they do in the screen shots.
And my cat is a stoner cheetah with a British accent. I win, no contest.

Was playing GT5 yesterday. The paddle gear change annimation in some cars is much odder and unnatural than what we've seen on FM5. lots of hover hands.

270 is less than 200? Okay.

Wait, Forza 2 really only had 12 tracks? Surely that's without the Road America and Motegi DLC.

I'm only telling you exactly what I saw with my own eyes while driving LMP cars around Le Mans. It's not an opinion, it is a fact.
Fire up the game for yourself and take a look. And wind in the sarcasm, so effing childish.
So what about the content that was pulled and publicised as being day one free DLC because it couldn't make the disc? Does that even exist anymore or have they slapped a price on it? I haven't read a thing about it since it was first mentioned.
Edit: Here we go. Not hard to find, either:

Real lack of clarity running up to the this launch isn't there? Both in terms of hardware and Forza.
That's being generous. I feel at times Dan is flat-out lying.

He's probably counting the cars being held back as DLC.
SatansReverence
Hipster Princess
That's because he is.
All the bullshit about everything being from the ground up.
All real world circuits being laser scanned.
Only keeping older content if it's very good.
Etc etc.

Well, let's recount. Forza 2 "enviroments":
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Mugello Autodromo Internazionale
Nürburgring Nordschleife
Road Atlanta
Sebring International Raceway
Silverstone
Suzuka Circuit
Tsukuba Circuit
Maple Valley Raceway
New York Circuit
Sunset Peninsula/Nissan Speedway
Test Track Infield
The thing is, counting all the layouts (including reverse versions), it adds up to 47.

I just think they won't be there day one not because they decided they're under a paywall, but because they can't finishe them in time for 22nd. BUT if they are late, they might charge for them, thinking ""well, fuck it, they bought the game anyway, right ? now we can pretend this content is extra and charge for it !"
Dan's quote, and latest news specifying "200 cars and 14 tracks ON DISC" seem to indicate there's more you're entitled to when you buy the game.
But the fact they didn't say anything Beyond that, means they're taking a wait and see approach. Right now, they're advertising it as a 14 tracks game, which means they are currently planning to sell you those 2 tracks they INITIALLY PLANNED TO INCLUDE in the game (disc or day one DLC)
We need clarity, They didn't decide whether long beach and nurburgring are going to be free when they're ready, but i guess it depends on people's reaction.
That's why we should be shitstorming T10 even worse, though, because if gamers are happy, if the game sells well, they will certainly charge for them.
Great shop.
Are all NDAs now lifted? Was anything confirmed about driving the cars out of the homespace straight from Forzavista?
Sal, it's high time you spuffed all the beans in your Forzanads. The game's almost out!
Made a promise that I wouldn't.
But let's just say you are warm on one of those features...

in one of those pics we saw TGTT has 7 ribbons in FM5, for example.
It had 10 in FM4, and that's not including cloudy and sunny versions.
in other news, i made a quick and dirty version of all the gameplay/replay segments in that McLaren feature
Not a montage, just a quick job.

I hope that high long-shot down to the tunnel is a replay camera actually used in the game.
Dan actually makes a lot more sense in your video, eso..!
Oh man, I wish somebody would collate the audio from a bunch of interviews and edit it together so that it's complete nonsense. That would be hilarious.
"So for Forza 5... we reverse engineered... human drivers... and let me tell you I'm... into gamers, but... The Stig... is one of my... lovers".

oh, I do that all the time at work..editing the crap some VIP said into something that makes sense..
Thank you for volunteering. I eagerly await the results.
then after the entire dlc plan is communicated, maybe you will do the inevitable youtube "hundreds!!"-"hundreds!!" video.. like the blamer developers-developers one
lots of material out there to make us a video worth at least a season laugh pass for forza 5 PR
edit:
BTW, 11 DAYS MOTHEFUCKERS!!!
Nah its about that racing car count crap that annoys me all the time.
1 car with 5 liveries counts as 5 cars, which is total bs.
R8, maraneello 550 gts, porsche gt3 cup and rsr or mc12s should count as 5 cars, but actually they re probably counted as +20.
he is referring to that, but i cant say if his numbers are correct. I am sure that fm5 counts some cars more than once, too.
This engine was quite the beast as well:
Porsche 917-30 Can Am Engine
1600hp/800kg = power to weight ratio that dreams are made of! 8)
you dont even need turns. just straights are enough.

in some off the record talks I had with some people, it was more or less the same story for the R8 tfsi (keeping power in reserve), but more contemporary.
