Forza 5 Announced

I'm still sceptical of drivatar, although not because of Forza 5's implementation but because of the wider implications. If we truly are on the verge of cloud computing being able to dynamically adjust AI behaviour in games the effect is going to be much more profound. Forget reloading a checkpoint so you can ace a game section by knowing where enemies spawn or how they behave, now the behaviour is emergent there's no point, throw in a number of rotating spawn points and it's down to your reactions.

And then I'll put my tinfoil hat on and look much further down the line to the point where we've integrated our different AIs, effectively taught them how to beat us and bam.. Skynet..

Jus sayin..

oh ****
 
so it's going to be polished like a very polished thing, it's got a few different cars we did'nt have before and a few new tracks that look awesome but losing more "inferior" tracks. why do i want this over FM4? can i use my fanatec wheel with FM5? which i love using with FM4, nobody knows and most saying no... are there any wheels to buy for FM5? i dunno.

Drivetar does look a lot of fun, i release this tune to conquer everyone! (xbox360 dunker8 good low price fast tunes heh) would be fun to see replays of races my drivetar has won dunno if that's in it, prolly not.

Ok physics, they'll be good no doubt but would i be able to tell the differnce without playing on a good wheel, i doubt no.

Forced kinect aside, there's not enough new content for me to fork out half a grand for a controller based new drive sim that's gonna have less fun/imersion that i have with FM4.

i know i've been negative about it but i'm hoping in maybe a years+ time there'll be an ultimate edition out with more tracks and cars, possibly the xbox without the hal and i'll be :D
 
Why even post in here? It seems like you upgraded your PC recently and now just post in threads to show off that your PC is now uber and consoles are for kids. If you've got nothing worthwhile to contribute then go run some 3DMark runs whilst the rest of us play games.

probably but even with my system I'm only able to play Forza on x1. Happy to get the console to be honest it's more exciting than pc hardware for sure. I certainly don't get a chubby when 780ti was announced or 290x lol.

What's happened to the crowd?!
 
I'm just pretty disappointed in what's been coming out and I'm totally angry with the early games, Forza 5 included. Yes I have a PC that blows away any next gen console and I love my PC, but I'm still getting a XB1 as a Christmas present and always have had an XB..look at my game library, 200 odd games played and 100k+ gamerscore tells its own story. Plus Forza 2,3 and 4 with high completion rates. I'm a Forza lover not a hater. The thing is, it destroys me to see how poor the game releases are, we know the hardware is at best mid range PC equivalent, but what I was not expecting was these titles inability to hit 1080p and achieve 60fps. This is the next gen tag for god sake, there's nothing next gen about showing a game on a PC at E3 (Forza 5) then watering down all the graphics, cutting out pieces of scenery, all to achieve 60fps at 1080p. I'm disgusted at the stories of Bf4, Dead Rising and god knows how many other titles, are upscaled from 720p and running at 30fps. My annoyance is what makes me post, not that fact I want to brag about my PC. Hell, it aint that special, no top end card or chip here.

I understand that the alpha builds (or whatever has been running for demo purposes) can change leading up to release but I do find it disconcerting that T10 have remained so quiet on this matter.

I do love the Forza series, I just hope by the time I get an XO that there is a prestige or premium edition that has all the DLC on for a reasonable price. That or I might wait for F6 when T10 have got to grips with the XO.

That looks utter utter dross. Next gen my ****

Not impressed at all so far with Forza 5 and I absolute love the series as well. Good job I'm holding off for a good year before I buy a next gen console, by then there should be proper next gen games out. No excuse really for this game to look, at best, a knee up from Forza 4 in terms of graphics.

They have examined the E3/release Prague differences quite a bit over at GAF, and some parts look better, some worse. I wouldn't be too bothered about what the crowd looks like if I was buying a Forza game anyway. It's just nitpicking.

There are much worse things happening with the Forza franchise though, and they won't be getting my money until they change their ways. And this is coming from a big Forza fan.:mad:
