something that has power to keep you ironed back into your seat until you let go of the pedal, definitely has some kind of fiery soul.
whether it has the style of its opponents that it trounces laughing with ease, now thats another question..

You have bad taste lol. Soul is not always superfluous design that playboys and yuppies can buy in to, to show off and add inches to the size of their ego. It's understated design bundled together with audiophile speakers, a high end radio and sat nav, comfortable leather seats, rear seating and such sublime engineering that it can out pace cars 5 times its cost and not look anemic whilst doing it.

I get that it has a lot of electronic wizardry to help it along, but the prime objective of these cars is speed and track prowess. If such wizardry allows the car to oust cars considerably more exotic and expensive, more power to it. When you turn on that launch control and put your foot down, and your head becomes part of the head rest upholstery, tell me that isn't soul.

its not about how fast it is, its about the feeling you get while driving i, i'd much rather drive the elegant v12 muira than the big fat datsun GTR even though its miles slower and less capable around a bend

Man, sitting here and watching all this while knowing I won't get to play it for a while is like some kind of torture.

Make sure you guys play extra for me when it hits!

Tech Marvel for sure, but I'll agree that driving it *in a videogame* isn't much fun.

That PIC is gorgeous though :p

The Mclaren is viewed as being the better car technically but most would probably take the 458 (and catch on fire) because its the more visceral of the 2.

Well, seeing as we haven't seen any actual racing of fm5 either I'll confess I'm kind of worried :p

worst case scenario they both get cancelled and we save well over 1500e (ps4/xbone/wheels/games) next month.

but we have seen multiple cars -and AI cars to be exact- racing on ..prague since the very beginning ;)

yes, but real-life difference is that you can buy 3x(yes three) skylines, pay to maintain them and even to tune them before you get to afford that one 458, or the mclaren after the cut.
then, the cost of use per kilometer is even more ridiculously low on the nissan, that makes it look even more bargain in comparison.
but i agree, it doesnt hold that well at posters with fantasy cars.

In b-roll footage.
Never in playable form.
Or even in interactive, real time demo.

We haven't seen more than 4 ai cars on genuine xbone hardware.

I'm worried and have been for a while..

But Im not talking about which car is more attainable.

The GTR to me is the ultimate sleeper car. It doesn't look like a crazy performance monster but it is. But if you were to ask me which car excites me more, I will always go for the more flashy choice, because you feel special in those cars, where in the GTR I would feel like Im in a tricked out Nissan.

If Dan has even an ounce of decency in his body he'll follow Evolution's lead, immediately halt development, lock the current code away and blackmail MS into reversing their bullshit steering wheel policy, or at the very least get them to admit that it's fuck-all to do with wireless protocols and everything to do with farming cash from their most loyal consumers.

Do it, Dan. The power is in your hands. I gave you Leonidas. It's time to give something back.

Line it up next to a 370 z and the average person wouldnt know how much the power difference is. Now put it next to a Zonda and more people would be drawn to the Zonda over the GTR.

Well, I've got to cancel my preorder.

I'd hoped to pick up Forza 5 LCE, register the keys on the Xbox site, and play the game when I could afford to do so. But... well, I'm more worried about figuring out how to pay January's rent now. Life really enjoys smacking me around. I'll have to cancel it, which means I'll likely never get to pick up the Forza 5 LCE.

This day sucks.

You can always get your toys later, your real life always takes priority.

Yeah dude, fun will be waiting for you, but obligations and real-world stuff take priority. Good luck. We've all been there, and those lucky enough not to probably will be someday.
