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

MS/Turn 10, it isn't too late. You can still save this. Include all DLC cars and add some tracks that are hidden away for a rainy day back into the initial game.

Do it, before it's too late. Time is running out...

People are dropping like flies lol..

It's too late, we bought the DLC.

When the Ring returns to Forza
And the sun is in the sky
And next gen value surprises
Then you and I will cry
From the Redmond cloud he rises
Robbing fans on either shore
Taking content from his franchise
'Til fans exists no more.

I'm still in for the LCE btw.

Still buying. Need something other than Ryse to play on my XB1. The 200 cars is fine. I'll only want to drive about 10 anyway. Just need more tracks. It's all about the tracks. And I love sim racing games, so Forza is all there is right now for next-gen.
 
This reminds me of pre-180s Microsoft, happy to retain just a portion of their previous audience as long as the audience they did keep was always online and more than willing to part with their cash for DLC.

I'm curious to see how this works out.

or people with brains will have the money to just buy the game on day one and not care about all this mess and be happy playing the game for months before the GOTY is hits shelves.

And they will even use they own money to buy DLC.

Yep. I'm looking forward to playing it. Not worth me raging about it.

if those replay cam segments are not 'doctored' and from actual replay, or same quality as actual replays then holy shit, this looks so amazing i won't mind floating camera closeups on cars this time :p
Those in the video look absolutely awesome

Did you catch that overhead shot right before entering the tunnel on the Alps?!

I wonder if a "helicopter" live action replay will be in the mix/options.

Forza 5 |OT| Daylight Rubbery

Perfection. Gets my vote, and if you win I hope Helios sends you an Xbone and a copy of the game. Microsoft are gifting these to completely random Xbox Live subscribers, so since this mini competition has been officially sanctioned by Helios himself and given the Turn 10 stamp of approval I think it's the least they can do. Good PR and all that.

mascot. lol
but think he made a few so he is able to cancel one with every bad news incoming.

getting close the zero now

Nope, just the one preorder, well and truly cancelled with no prospect of reinstatement. The situation can be reviewed once pCARS hits next gen consoles this time next year and the FM5 GOTY is out for £19.99.

:p

There won't be a GOTY version. Not now Horizon/Motorsport are on every other year cycles.

Why release Forza 5 GOTY at the same time as Horizon 2?

So...
Who has cancelled their pre-order?
Who will definitely not buy?

I'm very close to canceling my pre-orders for XBONE, Forza5 LE and Thrustmaster TX Wheel.

The first straw was having to replace my Forza branded CSRE Wheel and Clubsport pedals. Not to mention Thrustmaster doesn't even address basic Q's on PC compatibility, add-ons etc. 2 weeks from release!

The #Tracks is the final straw though as it's just too much of an investment to race on a couple of decent tracks. I wasn't planning on buying ANY DLC either way though.

There was a GOTY version of Forza 4 around the time that Horizon released.

It was crap though. It only included 21 DLC cars.

Same, it might not be perfect (nothing ever is) but I'm still very much looking forward to playing Forza.

Most of my "recent" console purchases have been for a racing game initially, and X1 is no different.

PS1 (Ridge Racer)
Dreamcast (Sega Rally/MSR)
Xbox (RSC/PGR)
Xbox 360 (PGR3)
PS3 (GT5)

Still in, my Xbox One is fully paid.
While the latest news were really disappointing, Forza still is my most wanted game releasing this holiday season and other launch titles interest me as well.
It's very unlikely that I'll be able to play GT6 due to my PS3's bluray drive not working anymore so I need my racing sim game fix this holiday too.

unless that zipper has some serious use that my homer simpson sized brain is unaware of,
my style is not to wear fancy ties with zippers or equal stuff to look smart :p
so I guess you like that attention-whore gadget? hehe

I will paint red zipper-ties on the back side of my car so you'll be happy when we're racing :p

edit from the future:
cowboy, we will have at least ONE full lobby when EVERYBODY from ALL AROUND THE WORLD participates :p
worst case scenario we will comandeer badned and helios to fill up the spaces :D

Hopefully not many people buy into it. There's no incentive for them to change their policies if they can make as much/more money off of shitty practice.

How on damn earth you think we will be able to make some fine exclusive replays and gameplay videos of GT6 without your PS3?

We could fill the empty spaces with drivatars.

Maybe Dan can knock up some gaffertars to fill the empty spaces in here.

Damn this game.
Were it not for Forza at launch I wouldn't even be considering Xbone... Game just looks so damn good.

I couldn't believe it when it happened several weeks ago. I was waiting for Beyond Two Souls and GT6, the last two PS3 exclusive that interested me... I just don't want to pay a new PS3 for those two games, not when I'm already paying for the next gen launch.
My (slim to none) hope is for a PSN release, I'd even be prepared to pay the full price for it, just to play it but I don't think it'll ever happen.
I also need to check if a fat PS3 bluray drive would work in my Slim as I know someone who has a YLOD fat PS3 with a working bluray drive...



Anyway the Alps replay footage looks incredible, and that's in poorly compressed YouTube form, I can't wait to see it live on my TV.

Maybe. They just put God of War Ascension up on PSN recently and that thing is fucking huge. 35-37GB but of course you need 80GB free.

They're about to launch next gen (next fucking friday, how crazy is that?!) where everything is going to be available for download, and all of it HUGE.

Maybe, hopefully, a PSN release is not that crazy a thought.

I honestly dug it. My girl really enjoyed playing it too. I am surprised by the negativity surrounding it. I thought it was an interesting story done in an interesting way.

Edit: And apparently they removed my avatar for some reason?
 
I can sort of get the disappointment with the track list announcement, but I just spent around 100 hours playing Forza 2's career last month, and I'm only approximately halfway done. That's a game with just 12 unique track environments, and Forza 5 is a launch title.

I guess keeping my expectations in check was the right thing to do.
 
Yeah there's no doubt we'll get hours of enjoyment out of it.

My expectations of the feeling of tyres on track is what needs to be kept in check right now. Can't judge physics and handling from videos but what we've seen so far looks way ahead of F4.

physics are good. my awesome armchair video analysing skillz say so.

if they weren't, why the hell would I be here yelling? :D


the only thing I need to personally test for final results is f1

I'm keeping my ear to the ground. I wasn't going to be an early adopter just because of the cost of the platform and my current-gen backlog (which is unfortunately quite large), but I want to play this game more than most other next-gen titles. It honestly looks incredible in its attention to detail and handling, so seeing how well it reviews both technically and as a game will nudge my expectations in a way that I'll probably love it when I do get going with a career runthrough.

I also want to see how Turn10 reacts to people's concerns about the amount of content juxtaposed with the paid DLC being offered so early on. If this news had come earlier, I feel like people's reactions would have been more measured. Obviously this isn't like hiding it until the 11th hour, but for some people it probably feels that way. Statements from this point on will have special weight. Heck, even just more information about the features in the game would at least let people get a sense of what's being offered, outside of the "sticker shock" of seeing lower than expected content figures.

Gosh was it really 12?

so xanadu, on pcars scale, how good are forza 5 physics?

Seeing that PCars doesn't have the true track surfaces for every track, you can't really compare the two physics wise for the time being. I don't know that they'll go through the trouble/cost of getting the real surfaces on the tracks throughout PCars.
