forza motorsport 5 Forza Motorsport 5 {DT} - Turning current-gen car lovers into next-gen car gamers

[Paladin Skylark]

Jeez, why does it look so bad? The textures on those bridges alone are horrific!

 

Xbone isn't as powerful as the PS4.

Lots of titles on the Xbone run an up-scaled 1080p, not authentic.

[TimBud]

Good, review of the game... but its yet another convincing factor that I'm not bothering with FM this time.

 

Such a shame, because it wasn't too long ago that I was pretty damn excited about the XBone. :(

Photomode pics are starting to appear and I need new pants

:drool: indeed.

looking good...

I'll probably be ordering xbone once I get to new york next month.

I just need to find a good wheel.

You'll have to wait for Fanatec to finish making them first :P

yes, although problem with fanatec and thrustmaster is all this branded wheels they come out with (ferrari, porsche etc). It is the worst marketing strategy I've ever seen in my life. And I certainly cannot afford something like csr elite.

[Ryzza5]

CSR Elite is discontinued and not supported on Xbone anyway.

 

Having completed watching that video ^ there's actually a fair amount to like about the game. If it worked with my wheel I'd be just a little tempted now.

they'll probably have something equivalent of that. I don't mean CSR Elite per se

Veni Vidi Vici - Forza 5's monetisation is a monumental rip-off

 

Not all cars available in Arcade mode? 0_0

 

Welp, I guess I'll just save my money then...

[Ryzza5]

Well to be fair there are a few $20mil cars (that granted are much more exclusive although less 'necessary') in Gran Turismo 5, and there's no option to buy them with real cash, nor can you save up more than $20mil which is even more annoying.

 

The price they've chosen however is completely stupid. But then all of their DLC is hopelessly expensive.

Eurogamer was first to write about this I believe in their review.

 

Forza Motorsport 5 review Eurogamer.net

All that's left is the grind, and it's not a particularly pleasant one. Unlike previous outings, cars don't unlock upon levelling up. Everything must be bought in Forza Motorsport 5, and all transactions take place in a slightly misshapen economy. A series will, on average, net the player in excess of 110,000 credits for just under an hour's effort - but with some of the premium racecars costing well over a million, it's a somewhat brutal grind. Good job, then, that there are tokens purchasable on the Xbox One's marketplace for you to attain the car you're after, or to temporarily boost the rate at which you gain XP. When you've already paid £429.99 for a new console, £44.99 for the game and maybe even £349.99 for the only steering wheel that the game supports at launch, such tricks appear a little unsavoury, and in Forza 5, mechanics greedily smuggled from free-to-play games trample over the elegant RPG elements the series once embraced so effectively.

[Automotive Gaming]

I am a huge fan of the Forza series, as I have all the episodes

but this is just... No.

 

:bananamad:

[Ozzmcom]

seriously ?

what the hell is going on with the game industry.

why has it become acceptable that we pay ridiculous amount of cash for a half of the title and then have to pay even more to get the rest of it?

It's with all this big names out there.

Why no one is questioning if you buy 6-8 AAA titles it basically adds up to the same price as the console you play them on.

Does anyone have this game as I forgot I grabbed a code for the exclusive McLaren MP4-12C from that PizzaHut giveaway?

[The Compensator]

Obviously I don't have it but been watching few videos. InsideSimRacing has upload an hour-long 'walkthrough' video showing the first race and so on.

 

The cars sound the same. Orange peel seems to be more important than engine sounds.

 

 

Customization, which is still bad. No improvement there whatsoever.

 

 

Look at 06:00 mark, you can clearly see proper next-gen quality.

 

[RobikV3]

I don't wanna sound like hater but here goes: I watched few videos and im not really impressed with this game few more cars, tracks, better graphics etc.

 

But the the wheel choice is still rather poor same goes for the bodykits for cars , no interior customization (driving a fully drift built car with only rollcage added to stock interior is silly in my opinion), smoke coming from the tires is poor as always been, engine swap menu doesn't even say what engine you're installing.

 

Those are main peeves, but i do like the new menu overall FM4 menu is boring to death for me.

 

I'm probably not gonna play the game soon as i cant afford Xbox One so until that this is how i see the game hope you understand my point of view.

Look at Forza 2 and then look at Forza 4. I'm sure the console is capable of doing better once they get more used to it.

[Milli]

As i said before, they fixed something that really annoyed me. Which is how the driver holds the steering wheel. Now in FM5 it is properlly "held".

 

And i am liking the lighting of it... just a few bugs here and there, and as Santtu said, the first game of the console is not really a parameter.

Few more cars? I thought there were only about 200 in FM5 or am I thinking of something else?

[Eudemon]

Maybe he means a few more new cars to the series. Though you could easily counter-point that with the amount that's been removed that were added in FM4 and Horizon.

[TimBud]

Removed is such a 'final' type of word. ;)

I think they'd prefer if we referred to all the other cars as 'on hold'... on hold for DLC that is.
