I want to try this game. I want to see by myself the differences from last gen and how enjoyable the game mechanics are. Racing games are my gig and I shouldn't miss it. From all the buzz around the game, I gather it is more like a Forza 4.5 (some people even said Forza 3.9), but since it's the first and only racer on X1 and next gen both, it is a definite Forza 5.


I think ethomaz (GT afficionado) tested it at BGS and liked... so gameplay shall be good (not GT good,  but you get it).


Yes...I'd like to meet him online, as`I am a GT enthusiast too and also an amateur racer. But why would the gameplay not be GT good? Because of downscaled grahics? Racing physics may have very weel been improved. (What about those Driveatars? Anyone had experience yet?)

As far as I know, they still have some arcadeish gameplay in some aspect (like the speed fell)... Driveatar you would have to ask Selnor and Kowenicki (but that wouldn't help you much since they would say its the second coming)... also a GT fanatic, to sad I can't keep my wheel always mounted (still wanting to do the "pro" drive lessons).

Ι see (thanks for the answer anyway). I have had some feedback about arcadeish gameplay on previous Forzas, but it is something you need to put many hours behind the wheel to discern.

So

Kowenicki and Selnor, care to share an opinion on the game's gameplay? Have you had any experience on Driveatars? How's the AI without them?

The lucky bastards are playing...

A far better way to spend one's time than argue in fora. Never mind. I'll wait until they are back, or someone else that has played the game cares to post the impressions I asked.



This, I stole from grandpa...It's called soap.

you guys are missing the point the aricle is pointing out what the gfx look like that is what that site does.

It also is clear that is is drastically worst then the one show at E3 (perhaps need the cloud to kick in?)

In any case this is nothing new, even Sony has done this in the past with PS2 and PS3, Killzone 2 is a good example of that.

All he did was post an article.

Lol damn all you do is post negative xbox news. You only bolded the negatives for the articles there was plenty of good stuff being said as well. This console wars shit is serious ass business lol.


he posted the digital foundry article about forza 5. and he posted the verdict and source in the OP and nothing else. so dont go attacking auther just because you are dissapointed with what MS and turn 10 have to offer with the game graphically. 

Im impressed with the game graphically and not dissapointed at all actually. What I said wasn't an attack either, all I generally ever see Ethomaz post is negatives about the xbox one as of late.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

The first screenshot makes me nostalgic.

The trees in the middle look straight up like N64/Dreamcast assets.

so why aren't we discussing AI and handling by the way? and only 1080p and aa?


Digital Foundry is pure graphical analysis.

bit flawed way of reviewing

it's not a review

Its not pro-Xbone so that is the point.

this game being a simulator revolves around handling and control and ai is being judged on graphical facts like aa

same like putting civ:rev up there =total nonsense, it looking nice is a benefit not the goal

If you want a review read a review, they are clearly discussing graphics, so what is your point?

You seem to not have saw the negative PS4 and positive Xbone he posted this week... sometimes what we see in others is what we have in us.

He has to spend like 2,000 more on a ps4 so I don't blame him. he is on the master quest to reasure himself and everybody else that he has the superior console.

Though when we start talking those numbers I would build a PC and say FK consoles. The point of them are supposed to be cheap alternitives that comes close to PC performance. Spending more is a bit...................

Well he is paying around the same in grey market  for PS4 than the Xbone in official stores, so that is not the problem... and gaming PC here can cost much more than 2k dollars really easy.

People love to complain about the OP poster... but never saw them posting positive PS4 or negative Xbone news, but they attack the poster everytime, so stop complaining and accept life...

You threat the person as an enemy (because he support the other system) and complaing he isn't nice... why would anyone expect the enemy to post good press about you and bad press about themselves is beyond me.
