Man those DW12 tires look so bare without the tire branding.

Also, reading those youtube comments might give you cancer.

I think this is more of a product of Microsoft forcing them to be a launch title; they didn't have enough time to upgrade all the cars from the previous generations. (I'm sure MS also wants some delicious DLC monies, too, since they know people will buy it.) But yeah there are some odd ones missing.

Hopefully the full track list is more satisfying.

Well I guess we all knew there'd be cuts in a next gen title (GT2 to GT3 comes to mind), but goddamn. Maybe there's still hope in car customization.

gently caress it I still have it pre-ordered. I hope one of you buys it so I can have someone to race with :smithcloud:

I'm still getting the Forza 5 Collector's Edition, and I'll let you guys know how it is from first-hand impressions.

I might be the only one :ohdear:

Forza 5 doesn't have shadows, AA, or AF. They had to do all that just to get a driving game to do 1080p60?

Pretty sure the car has no shadows because it's upside-down, or on some weird terrain.

So every race can be GTCC? :allears:

Wait, that's actually multiplayer. Nevermind

There's gamertags with mics on the left side of the screen, so I think it's multiplayer. Unless drivatar also accurately recreates pubbie rage from turn 1 shunts by broadcasting childish screams and offensive language in a high-pitched voice. :v:

During the Giant Bomb First Look, I was cringing so hard just watching him try to drive around Sebring. Seems like 99% of the people that make videos of it are really bad at the actually driving.

If it's anything like iRacing, always brake way earlier than you think you need to and be very gentle with it.

Also, pray. Each lap.

Yeah those cars look pretty loving good to be honest. (I have the collector's edition of the game, but I haven't bought an XBone yet.) Someday I'll play this because I miss the fantastic audio and customization.

I request pictures of the 22B, because I remember that one being one of the worst looking carryovers from Forza 2 or whatever.

It looks like they upped the poly count and such, while adding the interior to go along with the Vista mode, but they just didn't reconstruct the lights at all. Hrmph.

I believe all the crowd images are employees of Turn10, though that's just a guess. Dan Greenawalt is in there (the bald guy with the beard and mustache combo). I'm leaning towards the replacement of 3D crowds with 2D cutouts was a last minute decision to cut graphics load, but who knows.

:suicide: (CFS will get a good laugh) But seriously some of the cars look like they will be fun to hoon around in though.

I use manual w/clutch on controller and have been since Forza 3, with the clutch being the LB. It takes some getting used to (use forefinger to clutch, middle to brake), but it's perfectly doable, and you're way faster on upshifts.

L_Harrison

It's several small things really that combine to make the car seem a bit ... off

If you look at the two back and forth, the proportions on the front end are just a little weird in some instances, and the way the front end of the car sits on the front wheels is odd. The headlights aren't the greatest either (not necessarily their proportions, but the way they're modeled. They're just ugly and bland.) It doesn't take away from the game in any way, but it'd be nice to see it redone. The interior and engine bay are all fine. They've upped the polygon count obviously for F5, but the model design hasn't changed since F3 or whatever. There are others, like the Subaru 22B and the NSX that have minor issues as well.

Again, I'm not saying the game is horrible for those reasons at all, and I completely understand not being able to redo them for time constraints. Turn 10 probably knows and has already seen discussions like this one here, but it'd be neat to see them up to the amazing standard of all the other cars in the lineup.

That's not hyperbole. If the weather isn't dynamic, it's essentially just a grip modifier, which Forza already gives you the option to turn on and adjust percentages anyway.

It could still be dynamic and I sincerely hope it is, however.

I'll still be playing it though.

There's 21 tracks on that list, and the remaining 5 are supposedly all new tracks for Forza 6. (Maple Valley nooooo)

So I might get an Xbone, should I get Forza 5 or hold out for Forza 6? I've been playing forza 4 recently and I really love all the cars they have!

Wait until Forza 6. If you love all the cars that Forza 4 has, just skip 5. Forza 6 will have all of the content from Forza 5 + all DLC (hopefully) + other new cars and tracks.

Edit: it's like less than 3 months away anyway.

Speaking of Forza 6, I guess there's no physical copy of any edition other than the standard edition? That's a shame.

So, I'm a little late to the party for playing the Forza 5 career mode, but racing prototypes against the Drivatar AI is a loving joke. Hope you don't need those precious aero parts, because they will ram the gently caress out of you when you get ahead of them. Oh, and anyone in front of the player basically parks in the middle of the corners for no reason, only adding to the butt-loving from behind. The rubber-banding is like an on/off switch (only enhanced because of the high performance of the vehicles). Everyone ahead drives like grandmas, and everyone behind is out to murder everything in their path.

Basically, every Drivatar is M. Rossi.

Oh no no no, it got so much worse. I was still a sweet summer child just a couple of hours ago.

Indycars :stonk:

Okay, so first the game forces you to run road course aero at Indy in the championship, lol. Then, Long Beach is just ... holy poo poo. A pack of Drivatars all coasting around the fountain turn with no power because their cars stall for going so slow, and then the same thing at the hairpin, except I can't make the turn without stalling either because ... Forza reasons I guess (or I use a controller and can't turn the wheels sharp enough).

L_Harrison
May 22, 2007
Oh I definitely messed around with the setup before hitting the track, but the Indycar championship in career forces you to race without setup modifications, and thus lovely gear ratios and road course aero by default (though looking at the numbers, it appears oval and rc aero are just different in appearance only without any actual change in downforce).
