I just have something do say from a Simulator Racing fan.

You can't judge the DRIVING PHYSICS and the IMPULSE TRIGGERS in the same sentence... one just invalidates the other.

If the IMPULSE TRIGGERS are something that make you fell better on Forza 5 then you need to stop to play any simulator racing and start to play arcades racing.

But I know some guys that like the "rewind" feature and says they are simulator racing fans... contradictory.


This. I love physics comparisons that are done without a proper wheel. I have put over two hours into Forza 5. The impulse triggers are neat but not really helpful...Also, Forza 5 is nnnoootttt a sim.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Yes, it clearly has had a massive downgrade from E3. Yes, In game transactions are clearly altering the in game economy, skewing it towards paying for cars with real money. Yes, The game has clearly been rushed to make launch. Move on its boring. Yes Driveclub will look better, yes Ridge Racer at PS3 launch was 1080p 60FPS, yes GT6 is 1080p 60 FPS.

Yes Eurogamer has the balls unlike all the other sites to call people on their bullshit, i for one am very pleased, they are providing a service to gamers not being coersed into "Glossing" over aspects of games that matter. I for one will be eagerly awaiting their anaylsis on GT6, if the in game economy is altered in any meaningfull way due to the introduction of microtransactions then I simply will not buy it.

In a industry famous for deception with On Disc DLC, "Micro" transactions, Review Embargoes and Bullshots, these types of articles should be praised. Thanks Eurogamer you'll save me alot of money this coming Generation.



PSP Lifetime more than PSV+3DS Lifetime.

I'm just astonished at some people. It's almost as if people don't want next gen games. They're not bothered about resolution, they're not bothered about having next gen coding, they're not bothered about 2D crowds or trees, they're not bothered about reduced content ... If I didn't know better, the only reason they want next gen is so they can display 'Xbox One' in there homes, because quite clearly there's nothing else they're bothered about.



 

The PS5 Exists.

How does that become your problem?

The movie shallow Hal comes to mind.

"I saw a knock out, I don't care what anyone else saw"

Best line ever. You are being the friend that keeps telling your friend that his girl friend is ugly until he listens to you and breaks up with her.

That guy is a dick, I'm just glad I'm not "that guy"

A) I hav a family with 2 young children. I cant always set up my wheel.

B) Not everyone can afford it.  

Its pretty shallow to make the asumption you have.

he physiccs are  clearly in adifferent league to last gen. After extensive play tats obvious.

"it sets a precedent for next-gen racing simulations by virtue of simply planting the flag in the soil first."

....so it is currently definitive.

good.

They are disapointed with the game... no AA, heavly downgraded from E3, some assets looks worst than last-gen, etc... the good part is that the game holds solid 60fps.

They called the game unfinished or working in progress.

Do you just read what you want?

And why did you bring GT here again? It is a Forza's thread.

Perhaps you are reading what you want.

 

The game looks fantastic. Disappointment and last gen, and the game gets a higher score than Killzone SF. Go cry some more. 

Moderated,

-Mr Khan

Big let down this Forza 5. Even GT5 has a better metacritic!

What was that about crying?

You cannot judge physics without  wheel...

 

Forza 5 doesnt even match GT5's physics let alone PC sims.. It is NOT a true sim it is a arcade sim hybrid..Gt6 with its new tire model, suspension, physics without aids is on par with the best PC sims, Forza is simply not even trying for that level of realism..It's why Despite forza doing some things better then GT in the past...Real sim fans but GT, its physics and handling, attention to detail, with every car handling like it should, are unmatched on console..GT6 is more nex gen then forza.

 

Sim sites reviewing Forza are disappointed for a reason.
