God damn. I mean that. Gawd damn. That is pure sex for your eyes. I am uploading our Impressions/crashing video. There are parts, most, of the game that looks absolutely real.

 

[FrankT]

I'm in love.

OT thread title right there.

 

[ekim]

Lightnings are in... according to Twitch chat. 1 more hour before I get home...

 

[Chorazin]

Ugh, I really want to play this tonight but I don't want to play all the same stuff again when I get the full version.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Ohhhh I get it... For people who were wondering why I got the Deluxe edition for 75$ Canadian... The Horizon 2 VIP is 50% off for FM5 VIP members.

I'm in the US and bought the Forza 5 LE so I'm a VIP for FM5...I don't see any discounts

[Backfoggen]

Gid damn 10 GB.

 

[Faith]

Started the download 20 minutes ago and now it's finished

 

[Diablohead]

PRETTY

 

[TheOddOne]

MS should be smart now, hopefully.

Microsoft should definitely buy them, but as long as Activision stays the fuck away I'm good.

Any publisher that buys them up is in for a bargain. Great creative direction overall, technically proficient and churn out games very fast. Can’t believe they already have 5 years under their belt.

 

[c0de]

How much of the full game map is in the demo percentage wise?

 

[ElNino]

That would explain why VIP was $9.99 for me.

As for the Demo... I've only done the intro race to the festival in the Lambo and the first cross country race in the Evo. Pretty damn awesome! Driving through the fields with in-car view is nerve wracking when you don't know the terrain yet, particularly when I came over a hill and slammed right into a hay bail and launched it.

 

[Timmay]

Watching this stream is going to cost me 400+ bucks. Open world racing is just so damn good. I must have it.

Well a couple $100m(maybe?) would go a long way with that $2.5B.

You can go to that mountain.

Drats. Every time I try to purchase something in Smartglass, after hitting the Buy or Get it Free button, I just see a spinning Loading display with an X to close.

Looks like I'll have to start the demo's download when I get home.

 

[MXRider]

I need faster internet. I've been downloading since 9 and I'm at 64%

If I recall that correctly the demo map is like this. (red circle)

That's maybe 10-15%?

 

[Reckless Onion]

It's not your internet(i think), mine is also painfully slow

 

[Osahi]

goddamn dat intro movie is sexy. Don't know who that voice over girl is, or how she looks like, but she can count to ten in my ears all the time.

Game is fun too. Not a big racing fan (I like them, but they're always low on my to buy pile) and I was planning to stick with Driveclub PS+ this holiday season and planning to get this on a later date in slower months, but now I'm in doubt. Might get in on release, and play it for a week till Alien and Middle Earth arrive :')

Scooby is just caning it all over the map!

Can't wait for his impressions post once he's stopped playing the demo

 

[metareferential]

Got home now from work.

Let's do this!

MINECRAFT tho.

THIS IS THE WORST THING I'VE HEARD, DERFEEF PLS.

 

[ekim]

From twitch:

Alrightvegemite: picking a different starter car gives you a different championship for the demo to start with it seems

 

[derFeef]

THIS IS THE WORST THING I'VE HEARD, DERFEEF PLS.

I was kidding! Don't hit me!

 

[TaKeRx]

What are the demo cars?

 

[Caayn]

Hurry up train I need to go home

 

[Omni]

I really want to try this

But the fact that you can seemingly drive over any surface without even slowing down or anything just puts me off considerably. It bothers me greatly to see

 

[bedlamite]

What are the demo cars?

Mitsu Evo X
Audi RS3
some Bowler SUV

 

[Cancelled]

Picked the Bowler for my starter car to be different, got different races to the guy who picked the Evo. "Extreme Offroad".

Guessing the RS3 gets different again.

Edit: Races seem the same, just different sub-set of cars.

 

[Ape]

This game is almost too good

Watching. Looks great fun. Seems like the wet road surfaces really changes up the handling.

Can't wait to get home from work and check out the demo!

 

[OrangeOak]

I need faster internet. I've been downloading since 9 and I'm at 64%

and I need Xbox One

 

[Diablohead]

First thing I did in the demo was SIMULATED steering, no assists.

The drifting and grip levels in this game, beautiful, once you get used to them you can take any corner with style, off-road grip levels with no TC will make you spin at high speeds, I was originally worried that going on mud would be a minimal effect.

Really solid demo, has online modes too once you beat the 3 or so races given to you.

 

[p3tran]

Do I go all out for the Ultimate Day One edition? Passed up on Destiny so I've got some extra cash to spluge...

well, this dude below knows whats up:

Here we go

Also my corresponding pic:

8)

So I got home, set up my thrustmaster tx458 wheel on my wheel stand while the game installed.

I sat down and started the game.
..........
I then turned off ALL assists and started a cross country race.....

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

My only fear about this game was that my wheel would be relegated to a poor vibration wheel but everything is there.

The wheel goes light when you take jumps or lose traction.

The vibration motors go absolutely flipping mental when off loading.

Hitting a bump jolts the wheel accordingly.

I've played this gAme about five minutes and it's an insta buy. No doubt.

very nice to hear about the wheel.


now if only my internet speed was faster.....

 

[TaKeRx]

Mitsu Evo X
Audi RS3
some Bowler SUV

Thanks! RS3 it is then. Can't wait!

 

[Ape]

Guys, I just did a doughnut in the vineyard. I don't think a game has brought a smile to my face like that in a loooong time.


e: biggest problem is the generic white dude avatar in the car. that really isn't working for me.

 

[JaggedSac]

Are the other cars driving around with names above real players?

Unless you are on online freeroam, they are drivatars.

No. Playground Games.

I love how you ca pretty much wreck it all and still get points for it.

Unless you are on online freeroam, they are drivatars.

Ah thanks for that.

Game is already providing you something that isn't real, might as well go all the way. Wouldn't be as much fun otherwise.

 

[Diablohead]

A new Rallisport Challenge probably

[JaggedSac]

I didn't brake hard enough into a turn, slid into a group of trees and successfully navigated out of it unscathed. Felt GREAT!

 

[daxter325]

Thank GOD those horrendous cardboard cutouts from FM5 are gone.

This game is Xbox's killer app.
