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

the car practically drives itself lol

I wouldn't say that... but it is a lot easier to drive, than say a ZR-1.

Which is still good for something. You don't need to be as amazing of a driver to experience that eyeball in the back of your head feeling or that feeling of almost being flung out of the car on a hair pin turn.

That said, it feels "safer" to drive than some other higher end cars, and with that, you lose some of the exhilaration.

Still something that commands respect in the automotive industry whether someone personally likes it or not.
 
That scared the living shit out of me for some reason. A lot more than I thought it would.

Not surprised you are the official opossum of XB1

One is improbable, two fantastic but three?

Three is impossible.

Your forgetting his beard is cloud based now, unleashing infinite strokes.
 
I just watched that Forza 4 trailer, which was awesome by the way, and then saw that they had the Halo Warthog in AutoVIsta! That's dope. I wish Turn10 would give us a driveable Warthog!

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

Have you driven it? Guarantee if you had you'd change your tune. It's true that an older super car or even something like the Porsche Carrera GT, might give you more driver feedback or offer a more playful ride, but that doesn't mean the GT-R is any less fun to drive. It's just a different kind of fun. It's driving a meticulous precision guided bullet sort of fun. Where you feel you can push the boundaries of physics and the notion of what would ordinarily be deemed possible, due to the sheer engineering balance and control offered.

Even if I was a multi billionaire, as much as I love the exotic superfluous nature of cars like the Zonda or Mclaren P1, I doubt I'd ever buy one. They're just excessive and overly showy imo, not to mention guilty conscience batteringly expensive. The GT-R is an understated beast, and that's what I admire about it. The way it looks, the size it is, the radio, sat nav, speaker system, rear seats etc, everything about it makes the mind boggle as to how Nissan managed to make such a shockingly fast and stupendously performing car out of something that is otherwise quite ordinary. At most I'd splurge on a Aston Martin DBS, but that's because it's just so damn classy.
 
Heh that forza 3 where dreams are driven quick ad be still showing up on last.fm for 360 sometimes..I remember when last.fm first came out it was the only ad on there but it still be popping up lol

While I love and adore driving the classic cars of yesteryear, there's no denying the performance and exhilaration of driving the GTR.
It's a very practical supercar...

in forza 4 yes, which is as close to real life as you can get!!!!!

i have however been in a ride in a tuned R33 with over 450HP which i'd say was as fast as the first gen R35 and while it was insanely fast my ride in a slower ferrari 355 was 100x more exciting..from the noise to the gated gear shift the pedigree..it made me feel like a 14 year old school boy getting his plums tickled. theres something about high end exotics that a nissan just cant offer. well..maybe an R390 can ;)

I seem to remember that those trailers gave us the first snatched glimpses of new unannounced tracks too (I might be wrong).

Imagine if Turn 10 had released a similar short teaser for FM5, with a car sitting on the track at Spa or Bathurst, before those tracks were even announced? The impact would have been phenomenal.

We still haven't seen Spa at all yet, have we?

Anyone else thinking that FM5 might be struggling to meet launch like Driveclub (allegedly) is?

hm, no.
driveclub felt and looked like shit. fm5 felt and looked amazing.
of course both as WIP and while most are confident DC is going to do fine until release, why shouldnt fm?

haven't you been reading my posts in the last few months ? :p

There must have been problems with the development, there's no way they can convince me otherwise. They keep showing that 6 months old Prague B Roll we never saw running on genuine xbone hardware in real time..
I still fear a downgrade (or a delay)

Well, playing Devil's Advocate for a second, there are indicators that could be interpreted any number of ways:

  • No Spa footage (or even images) at all, weeks after announcing the track
  • A perceived downgrade from E3 footage
  • Promises of floodgates opening in October, which we are now over halfway through
  • Official footage showing AA issues
  • No firm indication yet about car or track numbers
etc etc

I know there's this day-one uberpatch to gain a few weeks more time (a few weeks added out of necessity to a two-year development cycle - that alone should be reason enough to cause concern) but this game surely needs to go gold in the next week or so, so doesn't that mean it should already be in certification, and therefore effectively 'finished'?

You just never know mate...unless Helios or BADNED say otherwise..?

It'd be great if either of them popped in to say "we are aware of the Driveclub rumours and of people's concerns about FM5, but rest assured everything is on track, no compromises are being made, the launch will not be affected and the game is everything we hoped it would be. Plus: free money and naked ladies for EVERYONE!!"

gamescom?


@mascot
yes, this in an possible interpretation. but i dont do that anymore. it drives you mad AND spoils the fun when the game is released. since your mind is already set on "ah, this and that looks unfinished. they should have released it later..."
yeah they didnt. it is as it is and as long as a game is worth its money i am fine. i will never again think what a game could have been if <insert reason>
it just spoils everything

edit: i dont wont naked ladies! i want a F40!

The Prague demo they had at Gamescom was still the old physics/one car on the track demo they had at E3.

They still have to show me they can match Prague demo / trailers graphics and IQ with

- NEW physics engine running
- AI cars

on genuine xbone hardware

So far, the only Prague demo we've seen was a one car (ok, 2 cars in the Jimmy Fallon direct feed) on the track with old physics deal.




On a side note, i've just watched the reveal video (the very first video we saw when xbone was unveiled) you can download from xbox wire in uber high quality (avid format, so you'll need VLC).
For the record, that was using Forzavista models (you can see Huayra's engine through the air vents, but it's not there ingame in the Laguna Seca demo) and man, IQ was on a *completely* different planet.
Our fault for even believing next gen could achieve what looks at the very least like 1080p 8xaa.
No way that was ever realtime on xbone hardware.

Its ugly. And I'd prefer RWD any day. Sorry. Xanadu is right - its not always about how fast something is. Which is also the reason I don't feel much for the McLaren MP4-12C, either.

hehe. they will have to show that to ALL OF US, not just you.
that is, if they want us to buy console/game/whatever.

but its for the best we let them make it first.
if they dont have it ready up to the level they need to have it, how can they show it so that you will understand that everything is alright? chances are you would understand the opposite.

now, if november breaks and we still have that every-wedndesday-list-cars to go by, then yes, maybe there will be problems. but until then, I dont think so.

I would imagine those 2 extra pics we got was not what BENDED was referring to when he said "DIS GONNA BE GUD WEEK !"

I think it was actually. I mean, we were accustomed to only 2 pics prior to the last reveal.
4 pics this time?
Now that's my definition of a good week...

you talked about the prague demo at gamescom. just wanted to point out it was laguna seca running on xbox one hardware with AI cars.

or are we talking of different things and i dont get it?

yep.
Laguna Seca had NEW physics and AI cars.

Prague demo was also present at Gamescom, but it was the same OLD physics NO ai cars demo they had at E3.

I'm sure he wasnt referring to those, too.
but sometimes things change. something that was bound to happen at time X, could be moved to time Y.

maybe they will chirp us something.. like for example "things are right on track, here's your uncompressed video of V8 cars at bathurst"

they did say they were preparing something for those who couldn't see Bathurst gameplay broadcast. Don't remember where i read that.

And BALDED said 'next track reveal wasn't too far off' ..17 days ago :p

new track this week, today or friday. And footage.

Forza 5 won't get delayed even if it ought to be. They'd rather ship it broken I reckon. Patch it up post release. It's literally Microsoft's main triple A exclusive, and the most pre-ordered Xbox One exclusive at that.

I just realized that 2015 will be the 10 year anniversary for Forza Motorsport.

I'm sure Turnip Studios has big plans for FM6...
 
I wanna go to the local GAME lock in now.

How can I explain that to my missus?

I'll tell her I'm nipping across the road to the Chinese massage palour and sneak off!

havent seen prague there. must have missed it on the playable floor. (edit: ah found it. closed presentation on tuesday)
afaik laguna seca was without the calspan data.


but now i got what you re trying to tell me.
prague = high IQ and car model which shouldtn be expected for release
