That's strange as my partner always tells me the opposite!

"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. 

...and a lower score than Resogun.

Sorry, couldn't resist :P

budget games get an easy ride, free games?  well... thats even more of a free pass.

Judging by some of these screens and no mention of $100 DLC cars in US game reviews, I'd say Forza is the one that got an easy ride.



I don't understand why people are surprised by the downgrade? Can't any of you remember the TGS 2013? Some Japanese journalists clearly pointed out the visual downgrades? It was blamed on wrongly calibrated screens? The writing was on the wall!



i remember they ever said let the Power of the Cloud do the job for AI so that the hardware can focus more on the graphics and this is what they end up with...??



New consoles launch. Same old arguments.

I have no evidence to support that Forza 5 was rushed for launch?  When it contains half the content of Forza 4, and a good amount of the content it does have is locked behind a paywall???

As for the "disparty" between a game's promotional build for a trade show and the final product...  again, you act like this is something that's unprecedented.  You must've slept through the PS3's launch.

There is a HUGE difference between showing a target video that aimed too high and having mislead customers for months with fake builds running on better HW than your own.  It's not like Sony had actual running builds of those games looking like that, only the target vids.  Which they still rightfully got flack for.  What MS did is in a whole other ballpark of dishonesty.

So we're now calling M$'s E3 show a whole 'nother ballpark of dishonesty because a launch title had a slight sacrifice in visual fidelity (and a major sacrifice in content) to make a launch release?

Ryse actually turned out better looking in-game than the earlier builds that were shown at E3, even though the gameplay remained somewhat lackluster.  Are we going to judge the XB1's hardware SOLELY on Forza 5 now?

First of all, that was no slight downgrade.  That's a relatively large downgrade.  Textures are worse, lighting is worse, the background is worse, and to top it off, they added more motion blur to try and cover it up.  Secondly, yes it is a whole other ballpark, since they puposely misled people to believe that what they were playing at E3 is what the game would actually look like.  It's not like they just had a target vid that aimed too high, then had to take flack when the first demo came out.  They actually took the time and effort to make a playable demo of Forza 5 on a PC and passed it off as Xbox One gameplay.  AND they still continue to run that footage in the ads as if that's what the game looks like.  That's horribly dishonest.

On a side note, no Ryse didn't come out better than the E3 build, as that was another game that received a downgrade. 



Crazy is too see people that were attacking PS4 thread after thread, posting victimizing threads about Sony fans being here complaining that Sony fans are badmouthing a game they like and saying they weren't in the threads about PS4 failure... maybe they started by themselves? Or was sony fans that are accussed of never uping negative threads that put them??

I see crazy people.

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.

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.


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.

Say what ever you think. I dont care. Ive played both. Forza 5's physics are way better. Forza 4 is the same. Its rubbish in comparison. Theres calcculations the old consoles simply cant do due to massively outdated hardware. 

Its all good. While you fight over last gen physics I'll just enjoy my xbox one. Best electronic device Ive  ever bought. 

Right Im off to bed. Just had a 5 hour sesion wit Killer Instinct and 6 mates. Was bloody awesome.Best fighter party since Soul Calibur 2. 

Night all.

They damn sure are trying to. Don't want anyone to have fun with a system they obviously don't care for.Like ive said before some of these guys are getting paid to do this. Oh no the trees lol man. What's worse is I really don't think they know they are doing it. Sixth Sense kind of thing.

That's simply false..Forza is not even a  sim compared to GT let alone PC sims.... Saying other games physics is rubbish, is well, about as real as the tooth fairy. Last gen physics are still vastly superior to forza's. No arguing, simple fact. I can drive many different cars in forza and they handle identical..... Every car in GT  has its own unique handling, it's why car sim fans flock to GT and not forza.

 

Your post on any racing or sim forum would be laughed off the internet.
