Forza 5 Showroom | New cars and details for Forza 5, ongoing reveals

Sorry, I'll ask in that thread then.

Don't be sorry, you're not guilty of making most GT/Forza comparison end up in swearing-spewing, shit-flinging, personal attack filled, no-holds-barred war.

Also, if you want extreme realism sims (as in "pro drivers use them for semi-serious training" realism), you'll want to look on PC; plenty of options there (specially with mod support).

I don't play racing sims but what's the consensus on which is the better one - Gran Turismo or Forza?

if you are new to racing sims i'd suggest forza as it has many more assists and is more fun i'd say, GT is slightly more hardcore and can turn newcomers off but either choice is a great one

Switched off after 1:30 when Wendl started to insult the intelligence of every Forza fan out there.

"Bathurst has been one of our most highly requested tracks throughout the history of the franchise. We've been wanting to put it in but honestly the technology wasn't there to do it justice".

Jesus wept. Why do they say these things?

now its suzuka and nordschleife.

Mt Panorama trailer, but it's a terribly weak trailer and mostly just talks about the Xbox One car at Bathurst this year:

I'm weak, I was out but I'm back in after seeing that. The hood cam shot going over Skyline gave me a hard-on. As an excuse, I did say after Spa was revealed that if they included Bathurst I'd buy it.

As an aside, regarding the race coverage in the trailer, it's easy to be in the lead when everyone else has had a pit stop.

Well, it did sound better than "It's always been too far away, too expensive and it's full of Australians."

My only qualm is that he kept saying Bath-hurst instead of Bathurst.

Kangaroos at 60fps? What else could he be referring to?

So has this been mentioned yet? Crossposting from here someone at Beyond3D says that the 1080p footage of F5 seems to have somewhere in the region of 50% vertical upscaling.

http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1803910&postcount=613

That image isn't 1080p native. Looks to be upscaled of the order of 50% vertically at a cursory glance. Interestingly, the map is native, suggesting the game is rendering sub-1080p in the game and overlaying native resolution UI elements.

The final ass storm? It certainly would explain why people have been reporting a lot of aliasing.

Eh. He's judging it on this image which from the Gamescom build way back in August

I don't believe it. But God, imagine the shitstorm if it was true.

I call BULLSHIT, but the half of me would REALLY like this to be true, if only for the laughs and the "unprecedented" shitstorms :D

edit: from twitch stream? .... there goes our fun..ruined before it even started.. :D

I played an XBox One yesterday at the local mall's Microsoft Store.

I played Forza 5.

The controller is awesome. The first thing you notice is that the grips feel a lot more natural in your hands than the 360's. The sticks have smaller heads on them, but they have a knurled edge that grips really well. The triggers basically felt like 360 triggers to me, except for the vibration. I only had one lap, so it was hard to tell what the vibration was trying to tell me. It was definitely noticeable, and not annoying, though.

I was playing on a really large Samsung 1080p TV that was set up horribly. Reds were blown out on the side of the Ferrari so that you couldn't see any detail, and sharpness was turned up a ton.

The build of Forza they had (the Laguna Seca demo from Gamescom) looked a little rough. Lots of aliasing, but it was hard to tell if it was due to the game or the TV's sharpness. I drove my Ferrari F12 right off the track several times (I had turned off assists except TCS). I also didn't realize that the game starts you off in neutral instead of 1st, like Forza 4 does, so that was an embarrassing start. I probably should have tried the Focus ST to start. The handling definitely felt a lot different from Forza 4, but it has been a while since I played that game. With TCS on, the car tended to understeer a ton. Should have turned that off, too.

They wouldn't let me hit the guide button. :(

I guess this confirms there will be track DLC...

nurb is confirmed. long beach, monza, pacific raceway, and lime rock heavily rumored. we almost have a track pack here. throw in a remake (positano) and we got six. take my money.

I dunno, man, I'm scared at how much they're gonna be charging for this stuff.

Following the shit storm for the Car Pass I think it'd be neat if they said all tracks will be free.

Is it true that tobacco advertising on cars isn't allowed for on-disc content but is allowed for DLC?

I've read that a few times from various sources but I don't understand the reasoning behind it.

Can't find that this has been posted yet, but GameSpot has posted more game play videos on their site and youtube.

This one is the Lotus F1 @ Yas Marina

and the R18 and LeMans

Nice, thanks.

Slightly OT...played some Horizon yesterday, really looking forward to H2. A screen from my play time below

I was LTTP with Horzion (I'm a sim fan darn it).

I'd assume because the base game is graded by rating systems, but DLC isn't?

i'd imagine a track pass would be at least as much as the car pass. and as i've made clear, i'd buy it in a heart beat. its tracks that make the game worth playing, its tracks that can extend the game indefinitely.

there will be a shit storm, no doubt. but bottom line is, if the value is worth it to you, you pay. if its not, you don't.

This would be the smartest thing MS could do, especially with less environments and tracks in the game compared to Forza 4.

That would really go a long way.

I also think that Forza 6 could be pretty amazing. This game feels even more rushed than Forza 2. Let them build up their assets, figure out how to exploit the hardware more and the next game should be pretty damn good.

yeah, only problem is I dont want my hair to grow white while waiting..
I am sure that froza 15 will mop the floor with forza 14, but that aint enough of a reason for me to wait;.
AND ALSO,
I think I am right saying that I played forza 2 for like double or more the time I played forza4. new technology and all, it ALWAYS makes things more interesting..

and guys, the possibility of separate car pass and separate track pass, hell, that's the reason i started yelling those days ago..
its just that now, slowly microsoft trying to find a way to communicate their SHITTY dlc plan.
if it was that it would be changed, I think that in the past days we would have heard something....
I like people that are optimists , but I think microsoft run out of smart moves here, and return to their recent specialty, STUPID ideas!
....they are going to look greedy as hell on this, I have little doubt left.
also, note this for the future: titanfall DLC ;)

My feeling is That at least The first track should be free.

Reality is that you will be able to show your support and enthusiasm for racing by getting a new rack for around 12$ people will laugh at it cry, shout but it seems like the game was expensive to make and now is time to milk people.

I thought CBOAT himself confirmed 1080p?

EDIT: I see the picture in question.. yeah, the vertical aliasing is bad. A lot of steps for something supposedly in 1080p. =S Please don't be final.

They can't say native 1080p and then scale it vertically, that would cause a big outrage and add another point of attack on the Xbox. Ugh I hope its no true. I noted the bad aliasing on the LS build in my impressions but newer videos look much cleaner to me.
