It hasn't always been like this though?
I supposed we had the leaked trailer before that answered a lot of questions before T10 had time to drip feed them but before then there was quite a regular dollop of info.

Awesome! More than I thought!

Someone should probably change the thread title.
Also, how come racing game developers are more secretive than any other genre?
Even story-driven games get more pre-release information :/ But devs like Turn 10 and PD seem to act like they work at Area 51 or something.

I just had a race in Gt5 with 16 players in Monza. First chicane massive crash. Imagine the carnage with 24 players. This is a serious problem with racing games. Its almost better to stay behind before Turn 1 and then overtake.
I'd seriously bet the behind-the-scenes stuff is a lot messier than they let on, so the fear of announcing stats or features that don't end up in place (aka MolyneuxSyndrome) is pretty high.
I wish more Forza 2 players had been aware of this :/

Next gen sim racers should have 22 and 32 players for off and online gameplay - anything less is total wank.

You just KNOW half the idiots after the first lap will be driving in reverse, fucking other players up.

120 autovista relevant cars rebuilt from scratch + future dlc = I'm very ok with this.
12 player grid is fine imo.
thank you for chiming in and nipping this in the bud - even if its dissapointing that its not confirmed.
i think its safe to assume we'll have at least fm4 numbers of cars on track, but i bet we'll get more. heres to hoping there was some validity to the numbers amazon had. like someone else mentioned, they likely didnt just make them up.

thats why it starts countdown when they get 3rd place so it ends race.
forza turns you into a ghost car if you drive in reverse or stop

Unfortunately people would just roll along in the right direction when the field came around again after causing a massive turn 1 crash.
Hopefully T10 ghost cars that are about to get lapped in "default" collision mode this time.
In other news, a Moderator from the official forums is trying to claim HeliosT10 isn't the actual Helios.
LOL!
add to that an iRacing like rating system ( + non rated servers for fun races) and it would be a nice start for competitive and cleaner racing.

Mmmmm. Vague bit of info and it's only Monday.
Can't wait to see what gems they have planned for the rest of the week.
By Friday we could be seeing a 1080p/60 video of a moss or suede covered Ariel Atom at Spa.

'Lots of cars on track at once' or something, I wouldn't class 8 or even 12 as lots, suppose some would though.

If t10 targeted 24 (and at one point they obviously did) I can't imagine the actual figure being very different.
Around 20 maybe ?

I think T10 should go crazy this week and release 2 new pics. You know, just for the hell of it.

:lol
You're crazy. They should just tell us that some thing is coming "maybe next week" and then not release any new info.

Showing us legit footage? never.
This is a game/company which holds everything back until it's leaked, like back when forza 3 was about to come out it took Jube showing us an uploaded photo shot to confirm that compression was shit fucked, it also took people recording the screen at events to confirm anything up until about 2 weeks before release.

2 screenshots in 1 week? Damn, talk about misplaced hope.
Still cannot get into a single room in FM4 :'(

24 players at 1080p60fps is seriously impressive.
You're also having trouble getting into games? I was trying to set up a lobby with some friends yesterday but they were unable to join me after many tries. They were able to set up their own lobby. I have no idea what the problem is, my NAT seems fine.

Oddly enough, you've shown the sun in FM5 bathurst is in the wrong place. It's North North east instead of East like it should be.
T10 taking "artistic liberties" with sun placement?
The sun doesn't always rise due east.

And once it does rise, it moves North significantly (use the time slider at the top of the screen to see it).

If smart match works as claimed that wouldn't be a problem now would it?

No, although it's easy to get confused with all these numbers floating around.
60 players at 1080/24fps
12 cars at $120 each.
