have u played forza 5?
no unfortunately. my one year old 500+ fanatec wheel didn't work anymore thanks to MS
i love forza itself. i have played from 1 to 4 and loved them all. i am sure 5 is great. just saying lets wait till it's out. then see if does shots are real. gameplay is great i already know it. knowing forza and turn 10.

i didn't like forza horizon at all. loved forza 4 but horizon no. i was playing them with fanatec csr and elite pedals. i think they have rushed things to catch up with Drive club. i really hope it's a good game this time.

just saying.
i really hope it will look like that. like i said, i am a forza fan but lets say i don't have high hopes yet. after WD and forza 5 downgrade

lol.

It's not long to wait now anyway, it's out at 2pm GMT/6am PST.

Apologies for posting yesterday that the preview was out at 5pm GMT today btw, that's what info I had at the time.

I guess another 2 hours or so isn't that bad. We're just so thirsty for news...

(Dumb Picture)

You know both sides of that picture looks like someone took a blur tool to them. It's truly a horrible comparison. If you would like I have some high bit rate Elgato captures of forza 5 if you would like to see how it holds up jr.

This brings nothing of value to this thread what so ever. It is made by a different developer for one thing,

To the point I really am digging the screenshots released so far. No doubt being used in photo mode.

sure, show me

And? Just because a launch game was downgraded doesn't mean that every game ever on XboxOne will be downgraded.
We know that Microsoft had some problems with unfinished development tools before launch and stuff.
This says absolutely nothing about any future games.
 
Really, you' are really thinking that those not ingame pictures are " fantastic " ?

I loved Forza Horizon and i will love the 2 but graphically for now it's very meh

ok, the obvious release plans by MS are now official.
forza motorsport and horizon released every 2 years, while they rotate on a yearly basis.

now what i dont get:
they have one racing game focusing on sim and one on action/ fun. why the hell did they put arcade stuff like the multiplayer into fm5?
i can see that many console racers love arcade games, but instead of making fm5 more arcady they should have started with horizon 2 to please all kinds of early adopters.

just my 50 cent

hey LeBoef! long time no see :)
my guess is they put what they could in fm5 at that time.
I want to think that during this generation things will get more clear with t10 and partners. maybe even they will create a third franchise, something-something fast paced open wheel? who knows..

Will be interesting to see what kind of racing events/modes will be featured in the game.

Hopefully, suitcases and bowling pins don't sneak in from FM..

Why wouldn't you want multiplayer?

How is Forza (5) getting more arcadey? The accessibility options =/= arcadey.

I'm not a racist, but...

Another thread derailed to console war crap....oh well. :(

Just another concern troll.

Yep, lots of "concern" on Xbone threads lately. Concerns about how the graphics will turn out, concerns about how the Japanese games on Xbone will bomb e.t.c.

Are we going to see some footage running on an X1 ? Not buying those bullshots in a post Watch Dogs world.

Or after playing Forza 5

Going to be a blood bath later in the year , with all the games coming there is no way I'm buying 2 arcade racers.

You guys are feeding the troll.
Welcome to a Forza Thread.

Anyone remember when Xanadu was the top poster on Horizon 1 reveal thread? Then Mascot assumed the post after he got banned.

edit: just checked, and GlamFM is the top poster now. Forza thread confirmed!

You don't need to leave this here at all. There are other screen shots from the exact same video that show more trackside detail and more detailed buildings in the final game. Of course you don't see those screens because that doesn't fit the agenda. Games have things that change all the time when the final game comes.
Also the compression is so bad on those screens that anyone who uses that as proof of what the game looks like is simply an idiot.

screenshots are nice but as mentioned probably bullshots/photo mode. Also that second shot doesn't look a million miles away from F5 which is a very pretty game. The key will be how it plays, and how it looks in-game. The former should be fine with the previous game to go by, so I'd still want to see in-game direct feed video before fully spooging.


edit: out of curiosity, does the existence of a 360 version mean that those of you with 360 wheels that don't work on Xbox 1 are tempted to stick to the older version?
 
I wonder if Top Gear has any presence in this game like road trip / challenge type stuff?

In some ways it makes more sense to be in Horizon than Motorsport.

The Horizon festival is fictional, I would prefer if they keep everything TopGear out of this game (and maybe even Motorsport.. because ugh).

PM me details for Skype or another service that I can transfer the file to you. This thread has nothing to do with forza 5 photos so we will not derail this. Also forza horizons lighting looks amazing.

thanks. i wan't to know the true. so. i pm you later.

Guys let's make one thing clear here i am not a fanboy or forza hater, not a kid either.
Like i said i love Forza becouse it's a great game. played from the first game till Horizon.
My upinion about does FH2 shots stands. i really do hope it will look like that but can't say it will yet. now flame the junior :)
peace out.

Damn, this looks AMAZING.

I love how you can see every single water drop on the cars :O Also those reflections ... Gorgeous.

Furthermore the lighting looks much more "Natural" than in F5.

Really want to see those dirt and rain effects in motion.

I knew the game would look totally badass!

How dare them making more games of their main franchises. I mean really... sheesh!

Of course they can bit it is a risk.
I love my Forza but don't feel as excited as I have in the past.

I think it is important to keep a bigger than one year gap between the games to increase the hype when a sequel is announced.
 
Didn't many of the devs at Bizarre end up at Evolution? Including the design lead for PGR4?

I read that on GAF somewhere so I have absolutely no idea wether that's true.

Some ended up at Evo, some at Playground and I'm pretty sure some ended up at Codemasters too.

Point is they went everywhere and any studio they landed in was ultimately better with them than without.

I'm not the biggest fan of it's inclusion either, I just think it would perhaps be more suited to the open world style of game.
 
The graphics look great, but it's the gameplay that I'm most looking forward to. Free roam with some awesome cars, just relaxing. Absolute joy. I'm hoping there are more options and choices for the soundtrack this time.

Yes got to totally agree those NOT in game shots do look amazing!

I wonder why that bottom pic doesn't look as good as the others and is lower res, could it be the 360 version?

It's an action shot with loads of motion blur - I think it looks good but reminds me a lot of Horizon 1 with those fences. However ... rallye and rain ... goddamn if this happens.
