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

Only shows 16 players here. :(

People were expecting more? Sixteen sounds good!

Edit: oh, online. Same as before. I see.

What's the number of on-track cars for single-player?

who knows.
16 i hope

The limits on single-player car numbers was down to the processing power needed for AI, right? That's why 16 was OK online because at least four of those cars would be human-controlled. If AI (Drivatar) is now handled by the cloud, sixteen SHOULD be now possible in single player, I guess.

Still having the grid limited to 16 players online must be either a design decision or (more likely) all that can be displayed in one go while maintaining 1080p/60.

bliah! all this talk of virtual burden and hoops... time exclusive achievements, rep system, family permissions, da cloud... it made me miss the screen the first time I watched it :/
I thought it was a forza video :D

and btw, for amazon.fr there is not a single chance in hell that they wrote that feature themselves..

It definitely sounded official didn't it?

Old screen or old info ?
T10 targeted 24 cars at some point but then found out the xbox is too weak to render them :p
And btw, they keep using the SAME | OLD | PRAGUE | B-ROLL footage from Xbone reveal in every feature.

That stuff is 6 months old. It's safe to assume the game hasn't improved if they keep using that ?
Is it safe to say the game has actually gotten worse ? :p

Yes, it did. Plus that lobby shot seems to be a carefully selected PR shot as all the details in it are already known.

not even drivatars named by the stupid cloud cannot have such ridiculous names (looking at you mechberg :p) , so
its a pr shot all right, and also, because forza 5 will have not 16 but 6 cars!!!!1!

Ok, as promised, this is what I meant when I said low poly geometry:

What I drew in paint slighty shows what I mean, but if you pay attention to it in the video, it really shows rough edges, particularly when you turn around corners. Don't mean to troll or anything, but when I saw that video for the first time yesterday, those hills really stood out to me.
 
Dat geometry. Goddamn, lol

Edit: did you at least notice that in those sections the 'geometry' is actually full of foliage? There's grass in there. In all those parts of the landscape. It's not a lame texture or something.

I think you're seeing things. You can't tell anything from those images, let alone where the polygons are.

Watch the video and pay attention to the hill on the right of the screen. There are too man straight lines for my liking.

I know there is foliage. But due to the low quality of the videos the foliage is blurred, making it seem as if there isn't any. But it does show the shape and form of the hill. Kind of when you look at something out of focus, you won't see the detail but you will see the general shape. But yeah, I might be seeing things, but when I watch the video I can't help but notice it.

LOL I've seen this game in person... with my very own two EYE BALLS!! The game looks stunning!!

i appreciate the effort but those hills are rather flat.

it's impossible to judge how much from that video, but having seen prague i doubt t10 ran out of their poly budget.

The video quality was really rough. You can't tell if it's imperfections of the architecture or something else entirely.

Yup, the geometry is that real life video also looks low poly hehe. I hope that in the final build well see detailed cracks with depth in those hills, like that image above. I'm curious to see how T10 will spend their processing power shifting from an urban track to a wasteland.

i'm surprised goku isnt complaining about the piss poor falken texture. i mean i can barely make out what it says!

unless
prague run on super charged pc's hehe

by the way, I can barely imagine the number of red lines that will be painted over forza 5 screenshots. and i laugh :D

I was there day 1 on pgr3 (for those that do remember the red lines counting the arches in pgr3 closeups of rims), but for this one i expect an explosion of red ink multitude times bigger 8)

edit:

LOL
very impressive that you spotted badned THE TOURIST and the lack of mirror reflections. it would be PERFECT alas you missed the plastic cars pointer :)
cant wait for game release 8)

@Saladine, just seemed a nice reaction gif to me. Gotta instant transmission my ass outta here :p

The criticism and defense tactics used in this topic are getting way up there in category epic.

Well for one, I admitted in the last page that I don't play racing games that much. When I saw the video in question, the stuff I pointed out stood out to me, and it looked odd on a next-gen console, with a relatively open track to boot. So I apologise if I offended anything or anyone, but you'll also have to understand where I'm coming from.
