so i was watching a pcars video of buthurst, and guess what

just like raceroom, it has that signature lonely tree as a generic tree, too.



i guess forza 5 bathurst edition seems to have them both beat in roadside accuracy

It better or that's some terrible laser scanning equipment. xD

I just hope Nurburgring is as accurate.

Anyone else notice that Turn 10 said they manage to scan the entire Bathurst in like 4 days?

LOL
that would be the cherry-on-the-top announcement everybody thought of, but nobody dared to write yesterday

laser scanned nurburgring would be like the perfect thing

with leaderboards per car per class. now that's perfection!

Turn 10: We laser scanned Nurburgring and someone accidently used the 110% scale so we decided to keep it! :D

for the good of the casuals, because the ring is too fuckin' tight!!1!! :D

I'm pretty sure BADNED gave a hint that this kind of logic is no longer in play at Turn 10 when it comes to tracks and cars anymore. It's been a while so I would be hard pressed to actually find the quote though, pretty sure it was on Forza Central.

Oh, what could've been for Forza Motorsport 5...

It's frustrating that pitstops were faded out of the Forza series.

You're not really a sim unless you have a pitstop strategy imo.

Forza has all the elements in place to make for exciting pitstops. All they'd need is more cars on the track to make things thrilling.

I posted my Xbox One impressions on the gaming side guys, including Forza 5. It was the Laguna Seca build - if you have questions ask away.

I've watched that video too, and boy. What if that was a forza video? So many people freaking out with those jaggies, pop-in, bland lighting, trees.

difference is with PC games you can solve most of those problems, with consoles you are stuck

According to BADNED, Turn 10 are showing off a new playable build of Forza at SEMA next month.
I guess that means we wont be seeing anything this week..?

yeah, I also re-installed shift 2, because of a conversation we had the other day, and boy, am i able to better describe its physics with memory fresh..!

**unrelated to forza stuff**
its like rwd skateboard physics. you got your two axles connected to a cental beam, and by dropping your weight towards left or right (joy left/right) outside of the central connecting beam, you force the beam to bend, thus forcing angle at both the wheel axles.
exactly the same feeling i got from this. but after playing that other ferrari bullshit (sorry amar) I forgot that unleashed was 10x worse!!(so you were right about ferrari being better)
but this engine, the unleashed engine, here's a tip EA: do a next gen tony hawk game with it!
so, graphics on upcoming pcars is not an issue for me. AT ALL!! handling is.
I did not get into funding so I dont know shit, but hopefully the community involved will not tolerate graphics over gameplay in a game they're paying for to be created.

It is sad. It would of been fun to set like a 10 lap race with accelerated tire wear/fuel so that Pit Stop strategy could be taken into play. That is something I wish they would do. What is sad is that the Pit Stop's in Forza have progressively gotten worse as each edition comes out. Forza 1 had the best, if you can call that "best" of the series and has been getting worse. I fully expect NO pitstops in Forza 5 at this rate.

I just hope in the future that we get Pit Stops and that they are functional and that they have advanced time/wear to make them fun to use.

Well the game comes out next month, so I pray to God that it is a new build. I know they are going to the wire with the game and having that required day 1 update to get the rest of the game.
 
While we are waiting for something/anything about Forza 5. Does anyone have any predictions/wishes for Horizon 2 (I imagine it's in development as we speak)

I'm personally hoping for a European location this time. More winding roads and mountains.

More interaction between Horizon and FM would also be welcome.

i'm hoping that this time they actually keep the proper FM physics under all the arcade bs..was real disappointed in the physics of horizon..and yes i want somewhere less orange

Well, I'd prefer it to feel more like an add-on to FM. Rather than it's own game. Like sharing the exact same car line up.

Say, you have FM5 and Horizon installed on your Xbone. You could actually seamlessly access each game from within each other. Like if Horizon's map shows up as a track in FM5. Which you click on and are then taken to Horizon (But still with the car you were in in FM5).

I know, it's a long shot and far fetched. But it would be cool if they could unify them more for people who own both.

I'm at the opposite end of this.

I want Horizon to be it's own game, to have it's own identity to be honest. Apart from the cars, i'd like everything else to be different, unique.
The one big problem I had with Horizon, is that it felt too familiar. I want PG to differentiate themselves from Turn 10 even though it's part of Dan's vision for the franchise. PG have enough talent and experience to hold their own imo..

Anyway, I want to see more sanctioned race types and shows to happen at the actual Hub. Drag racing events, drift events, show'n'shine..etc. Kind of like what Black Box did with NFS Pro Street.
I also want to see a deeper customization and upgrades feature. Car culture is really varied and ideas are really wild. There are some crazy and imaginative modifications, (body/paint/performance) done with cars these days.

It'll be interesting to see where the next location will be. All I know is, it better not be Colorado..

Well your version sounds more realistic than mine :p

Also, I'd like a bigger penalty for hitting traffic. Because they just kind of bounce off you in Horizon, slowing your car a little. I want a bigger fear of riding straight into an oncoming car.
 
With regards to the future direction of Horizon, it doesn't have to have a specific location, in fact I think it would be better if it didn't.
If its true that laser scanning tracks is quicker and cheaper than previous methods, why not have Turn10/PG identify the world's best driving roads (eg Transfaargen, Stelvio pass, Isle of Man, Route Napoleon etc), scan them, and insert them into the developers own gameworld. It's not as though PG were faithfully reproducing Colorado, just its essence.

or do city routes, pgr style

i hope they dont focus entirely on gfx whores, and manage to keep a substantial game to go with the gfx

+1 to this.

The dream would be for the open world to be one giant hodge-podge of the world's best driving roads and rally stages intertwined and subject to varying lighting and weather conditions.

Also, snow and mud please ;P

Yep, I want weather in Horizon 2.

I still want them to keep the same Forza philosophy of it having a really good handling and physics model.

I don't want it going full NFS or something.

i just want forza's physics and rally incorporated from the start. i'm fine with the single location thing again and capturing the essence of a location, but lets get even more variety next time. i think a mini california would be incredible. have SF and LA like locations for PGR style racing, fast winding highway along the coast, southern cali deserts, redwoods, snowy mountains, oak foothills and the napa valley. perfect. i might be biased. and again, lots of rally.

silly shinnn. homespace doesnt count.
Well if homespace doesnt count, we've seen like 15 cars total. Most of new things they havent showed in gameplay yet.

btw, just thought about this. Dont know how they will handle open wheelers vs "normal" cars. Driving a normal car against open wheelers feels weird. Wondering if they will have a class separated for it or something like that.

Guy doing some drifting. Tire squealing sounds awesome. Smoke is poor like fm4.

I would guess the game should go gold this or next week at the latest.

I am not sure everything went as planned last week, not sure what BADCAT referred to actually materialized, but this week will be glorious !
