Forza 5 Announced

Until they make the multiplayer as good as Forza 2 it will bore me in a month like 3 and 4. I also hate the fact they can never get the balance right between drivetrains. Forza 3 was all about AWD, Forza 4 was all about RWD, Forza 2 again was the closest having both drivetrains competetive.

They are going to have IndyCar, so hopefully that means we can get quite a few other open wheelers.



Edit - Also just read this, if true then it sounds great.

For the first time, “Forza Motorsport 5” will feature historic grand prix racing cars, including the 1976 McLaren M23 and the 1976 Ferrari 312-2 cars driven by Nikki Lauda and James Hunt, respectively, during the 1976 season. These models are the same cars featured in the upcoming Universal Pictures film “Rush", directed by Ron Howard, and will be available in Forza Motorsport 5 at launch. In addition, IndyCar race cars will be making their series debut in Forza Motorsport 5. The game will feature cars representing four of the top teams in the IZOD IndyCar Series: Andretti Autosport, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, Target Chip Ganassi Racing, and Team Penske.

mate of mine is the same.. Then went and pre ordered a PS4 as he reckoned one game isn't enough to fork out the cost of an xbox one.

Shame, I too like the forza games. I'll wait until a xbox one is affordable and 'might' look into it. I've purchased an xbox 360 to play forza, once I was bored of forza the 360 gathered dust and got sold.

Same problem here, i've been playing Forza since the original, I didnt buy a 360 until Forza 2 was confirmed.

At this point i'll probably buy the new Xbox, the only annoying thing for me is the online check if Virgin have problems (very rare for me though).

Shame there isnt a cut down version on the new Xbox that just plays games, without all the other bits i dont want or need.
 
We have details of the Forza 5 collector's edition. Anyone going for it?

Haven't all the Forza collector editions gone for £59.99 at Game or am I remembering incorrectly? Then again it is for the XBOX ONE, so there might be a slight price hike!

Same. It's $20 more in the US, which probably means an extra £20 for us. Not sure I can justify £65 on it, but I'll definitely think about it.

The amount of time I've spent on Forza 4 would justify the extra £20. :p That and I really hate it when I finish a race to find that the car the top people have used to set the fastest laps are almost always ruddy DLC cars which I could buy but considering how close we are to Forza 5 that would be a waste of money.

Do not remind me of the dreaded black Bora. I hated seeing those, cause it always got me curious as to what car they had running especially when they were leading the pack!

Ah, thanks for that! £60 would be the ideal spot!
