Yep, I was right, it is all over the internet: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=day+night+cycle+forza+5

Here is a link to your favorite website as a proof: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5427797

 

So ?

Most the links in the google search cleary state " no night racing ", of course some people would complain about no cycle as well. I have no idea you're trying to prove really. The main complaint was no night and weather effects.

 


I said people were attacking Forza 5 for not having day/night cycle. Am I wrong? I didn't say all, of course. So what are you trying to prove me wrong when I am not? I didn't say it was the only reason and I didn't say everybody.

"This alone ruined every Forza 5 thread" is not everybody? Riiiiiiiight xD

Have a good day, sir.

Don't understand the difference between persons and threads?

Yes, have a good day, sir.

A racing game should be 60fps, arguably a fast arcade racer even more so.

Saying they reduced that to 30 to have prettier views is an odd thing to say.

I'm waiting for Piorcupine_I to post in this thread....


Well, Forza Horizon was 30 fps, too, but devs concentrated a lot brainpower to input response and control so it was still great to play.

Not to mention it featured full day/night cycle

No, I saw that, but I think the main reason for the attack was, aside from of course just finding flaws for the sake of finding flaws, that you have a set time of day for every track that can't be changed at all. In DC it apparently just doesn't change dynamically according to the real time but you can still set the time to whatever you want ingame.


I think it was gifs like this that made people hope:

 

Yeah but this still seems to be in the game, look:

"We allow you to customise the start time and the time compression (time lapse) in every race you set up, so you have lots of flexibility yourself,” he revealed."

I think the article chose its headline poorly, the dev said that the day/night cycle won't change according to the real time, but you can still choose to race during whatever time you want and also set the time compression so that what's happening in your gif will also happen in the game.

60fps is more important than eye candy for racing games, in my opinion.


1080p isn't just about eye candy.  Draw distance and detailed draw distance is extremely important in a racer and increased resolution helps extends draw distance.

Not worth the framerate tradeoff.

It must be insane graphics. They didn't do the baked in fake lighting like Forza. 

If there was another platform that did 60fps I'd get that version, but meh. I bet this game would run at 8fps on xbone as well as being 480p.
