Come on, in next-gen sim racers I expect full weather simulation, with an option to select real-time weather for each track. FSX provided that for the whole world in 2006.

When Forza 6 comes out seems a better time to get an Xbox One. That should be proper next gen. A price cut or slim revision are welcome too and game ownership/license and effect on prices is hopefully clear by then.

so it has less features than its racing sim counterparts on last gen consoles?

i figured for sure they'd implement weather and night racing with the next gen forza

No dynamic weather ? Oh we'll I guess that's that I would have presumed with all that computing power including extra processing capabilities of the cloud weather could have been a feature on certain tracks including dynamic weather . The reference to 100's of cars leads me to believe its less that forza 4 otherwise they would have proudly boasted ie 500 cars . I predict forza 5 has 300 to 350 cars which is more that enough IMO if its 200 cars even that would suffice . As an example gt5 had just over 200 premiums and I played the hell out of that game when I checked my garage I had around 118 premiums .

You would be surprised at a slightly lesser garage you can still get many configurations of the same car and still enjoy the game . If I was ever to get an xbox1 FM5 would be a must buy for me

lol that smells like a DLC to me not a technical issue.... once again I don't mind having a split up game into several packages, especially for racers or RPGS where some people don't want to play every cars or have every cosmetic goodies or don't want to play all the factions or types of character... but it has to reflect on the price
I like everything XB1 has to offer so far but it needs to be coherent....

Forza 5 Prologue ?

Properly still going to be a good game without dynamic weather, but really it should have it by now.

Talk about going back a step or two. And i'm sure Forza had night racing and weather in the past. I thought it was a standard feature in racers now anyway. GT6 has it i think

Ahh yeah, I just know some things on forums can come across in a different tone to how the poster had imagined it. xD

Yeah I guess for a racing game, higher fps is definitnely an advantage, especially becuase you'll be travelling so fast, with so much happening around you. 
Only time will tell (:

Peace

Uh, what assists can't be disabled in Forza? I play with no assists.

Forza have permament steering assist... you can't turn off.
