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

Yet I guaran-damn-tee you and Mascot are all over the OT.

Like a pair of crack addicts. Gotta get your fix.

I'm not sure why you dragged my name into it, but you don't have to own a game to be interested in it, and you certainly don't have to own a game to be able to post in the OT.
 
I'll be down for playing some games. While ill probably not have a ton of time-- it'll probably be crunch mode for me at work-- this game is getting me excited about racing games again. The driveatars, if they work even somewhat as expected, would give me some hope about the Xbox team's cloud aspirations.

The dlc is disappointing, and seems odd since they mentioned the day 1 patch to basically complete the game. If you have to have a patch day one just to play the game, then day one dlc should be included.

I hope they couple dlc updates with free updates, though I hold no expectation that they do so. It would be a sign of good faith by turn10 to reward the day1 buyers and somewhat ameliorate the dearth of content.

Dynamic driving may make up for the small, static cars included in the package--but I would not count on the driveatar dramatically altering ones game experience if I were turn10.

exactly, dont talk about games physics until you play them :)
so I quote this for future ...reference :D

and given the chance, then please do for me f4 - pcars comparo.
general, not your best moment in one vs the baddest you had with another.
USE THE BALANCE!

i cant compare because ive never played forza with a wheel, i own a g25
 
I dunno, Dan said all the right things in the interview.

The very mention of them irritates a large chunk of the gaming side here which pleases me greatly.

... 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.

Oh shoot. I had completely forgotten the number of environments there. I was in recovery from knee surgery when I was playing that game. It was basically all I had to do, and it never felt short on content. I never did finish buying all the German cars for that achievement.

That's some good perspective actually.

2 had nurburgring though :'(

so I'm giving you even more bonus.
compare pcars g25 to f4 joystick, physics wise.

thats stupid though, i can tell you at its current state i prefer the physics of cars to GT5 but not by much, cars has a long way to (go although some cars are better than others obviously its unfinished) to match rfactor or assetto corsa, the latter being the best ive ever tried. but i dont think cars aims to beat those hardcore sims, cars is more like forza/gt, a semi sim.

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

Yeah will be hard to stay on the console if pcars doesnt hold up to other versions and we still wont have proper wheels.

Honestly I had about 6 go to tracks in F4, sadly Road America was my #1. But I love Bathurst in other games so it softens the blow a bit.
 
The Drivatar concept sounds great, and I hope it delivers. Even if it all it does is to stop the AI breaking on the 'effin apexes, that would be a huge success as far as I'm concerned.
In fact, thinking on it, I don't want the drivatar to be too realistic, because if they aped the style of some of the people on my friends list, I'd either wreck after the first corner, or be left so far behind I'd DNF. One particular friend could do both.

Ok just got back from playing I'm guessing the Laguna Seca build at a media event in Toronto. Impulse triggers feel great, but overall the one pad feels a bit.. flimsy perhaps, I need more time with it definately. Tire flex is back in a big way, I was doing donuts in a Ferrari and the back tires were warping all over the place. Sound from what I could hear in the loud room was INSANE, though I'd wait to hear it on a nice system first. Trackside detail up close was lacking unfortunately but whatever, I care more about how the game feels.

There definitely wasn't enough AA going on. I'm uploading a video now of another player racing around in the 300SL in cockpit mode, I'll update this post when it's done.

We'll...sort of.

It had a Nurburgring, not the Nurburgring.

Maybe there's a faint larger second one that runs around the outside like a double rainbow.

That's the one they modelled perfectly.

now to laugh just a little bit...

imagine xanadu christmas eve, when laser scanned nurburgring - the behemoth lands in the freaking xbones :)

btw, did the stupid evo magazine got printed? can we buy even digitally to finally verify what it says??

I think that's an older build. None of the newer buids have the red gloves.

random topic title from september:
>> Exactly How Many Cars Will Forza 5 Have? All 670 Of Forza 4+120 new?
lololol not exactly so many....but ....close..... HUNDREDS!!
 
I didn't read it mate.

Think it might be true because I saw people talking about the 24 player thing so the info we had earlier must have come from Evo mag.

Shared the news in Good, Bad and Ugly form to the biggest Forza fan I know (and my car/motorsport Yoda) and this was what I just got back:

This is not ok and this aggression will not stand. I love Forza and I've happily purchased several hundred dollars in DLC and even a physical racing wheel, solely for use in past iterations, but this genuinely feels like a rushed launch title scrambling to keep it in the black long enough to win their own personal resource war of attrition so they can finally release a finished product. Perhaps it's a sign of things to come as developers learn how to adjust for the increase in time and money required of next-gen games, but if that were the case I'd think we would be hearing about other titles using similar tactics...it's a bad smell from where I sit and I don't care what gave them gas, I'm pretty positive that Turn 10 just farted directly in my mouth.

For the record, the Good was that smokin' hot trailer single teardrop and sniffle of awesome, the Bad was the $50 Car Pass, and the Ugly was the track selection.

Love them fat tires.

Why, every time I see an open wheel car, do I want the person to floor it as they come out of curve and throw the car into the wall in the process?

I watched that car just wanting the person/AI to have a brain fart that sends them into the wall at 120mph.

Man, F1 cars in chase can looks so wrong.

BTW, we haven't seen cockpit in a f1 yet, have we

I am ready for Track Pass news after reading that Evo supplement on iPad.
ok
I also found the scans, but too low quality to read it all or enjoy.
what I am 100% sure though, is that it is not a article, it is a paid feature.
everybody who knows even little about car magazines can spot it in a second. (also means its LEGIT)

its 8 pages, I only skimmed through it until I found the Ring reference, it indeed says January, its god-dam official in my eyes, and the way it is phrased (as 100% expected from me), it looks like paid dlc too.
I write the exact quote:

<<But it wont stop there. Connect the Xbone to the internet and you'll also be able to get all the very latest content -further new tracks and new cars- as soon as its available.>>


so, turn 10 are indeed cheap whores that kept content in purpose to sell not a single pass for the game, but (at least) two of them.

given that they know they are mainly addressing to their core fans at this point in time,
I find this tactic pitiful, cheap and definitely not worth of the praise t10 has been receiving from me all this time.


I'm still getting the game, I'm still getting everything,
its just the feeling like you had a person for years that you thought was a friend, and one day you discover him going through your laundry's pockets to frisk your change...
their loss, not ours.

so no big deal, just fuck you greedy !
looking forward to spitting on 100 euro bills and rubbing them into dans nipples. gonna be fun 8)

You mean the one with 21 extra cars... yep I'm sure that's what you meant.

If you're talking about a version that includes all the DLC... that doesn't exist.

well i wasnt aware it only had 21 cars, thats another negative for t10..guess i'll have to wait for forza 6

then they dont learn their lesson, they dont care what you think, they care about the money and if you give them it anyway they will carry on doing this crap

I dont know if you do this on purpose, or if really you cant read!!
this is a STRATEGY, its not a time problem. wake up

if you want to play forza, like you dream you are going to play it, chances are you are NEVER going to play it. ;)

its pretty obvious forza 6 will have a lot more content than 5, even if they try this bullshit again i'm sure it will have everything that 5 has + the overpriced DLC +more

what lesson? are you serious? they are a company that tap dances for microsoft.

let me break this down for you, so we dont have repeating conversations. it goes like this:

forza 5 is that sexy WHORE you see across the bar.
she gets you horny, but you know you are going to pay double.

you have two choices: pay to fuck , dont pay to dont fuck.
whatever you decide, that whore aint learning NOTHING from you tonight.

How does that sound?

what if people realise they can get a cheaper whore thats just as good in the next bar and the GOOD whore loses sales and realises they have to do something about it so she ships all her content in her game and not save it for DLC to make the customer super happy! everyone wins!

Sounds completely looney considering there would most likely be a 3-month gap between track releases.

Who exactly would the cheaper whore be? GT6 the fat one that still hasn't lost all the weight she gained from GT4 and GT3 or the one full of aids called NFS Rivals?
