Support NeoGAF

[elfinke]

I think that this pushed me over the edge on getting an XB1. Good job T10!

Yeah Forza is the one game that has kept the Xbone in my mind at all times leading into this generation and this announcement, damn abouttime.gif. Looks tremendous, over-glare notwithstanding.

I mean, I'm not buying either console at launch in any event, though it is this sort of announcement that keeps reminding me I love new hardware and that I should find a spare $900AUD for one of each!

 

[Glorified G]

you know that to be pushed over the edge, you're usually pretty close to the edge already?

If this has, then yeah, you were way over the edge already

 

[Red Chocobo]

On a related note. I don't know if it's the same for anyone else. But I found the V8 Supercars in Forza 4 to be the hardest to control without assists.

Maybe it's because I'm a bit crap and use a pad, but damn those things were tough to keep under control. Needing more delicate acceleration control than any other car I drove.

 

[op_ivy]

fm5 is looking to have a fucking killer track list, especially if the rumored/leaked real life tracks come to pass. panorama and spa are huge additions.

still hoping for rally di positano to be announced though

 

[endlessflood]

If this has, then yeah, you were way over the edge already

Or you're Australian

Don't underestimate the importance of Bathurst to Australian racing fans.

 

[metareferential]

Note to self: don't buy Forza 5 until the wheel-issue is resolved.

Damn I want this game xD

 

[speedpop]

Now all they need to do is emulate the weather patterns and people will be happy. I want sun, overcast, drizzle, storm, and sleet all in one race.

You must not have heard a single thing about this game up until this point.

 

[Chuck Norris]

I love the exploding sun graphical effect

hey i heard its pretty dang hot in australia

I don't care whether the game can do weather - that much is a given. My comment is in relation to the insane fluctuations of weather when racing on Mount Panorama.

 

[GrizzNKev]

I realize this is from a Youtube video, but seriously Turn 10?



Tone it down...

It's actually worse in person.

 

[op_ivy]

It's actually worse in person.

and real life.

 

[GrizzNKev]

and real life.

Haha, that too. But, video games.

 

[chubigans]

Added the new track image to the ol' collection.

 

[Cmerrill]

Added the new track image to the ol' collection.

I think this game is set on the planet Tatooine.

 

[op_ivy]

Haha, that too. But, video games.

its something a driver has to deal with. i'm ok with it.

but yeah, not every track has to have lighting conditions where you'll see this. still holding out hope that there are multiple times of day for each track like in fm4. now that disc space isnt an issue there is no excuse to not have it (aside from making launch - admittedly a big excuse)

 

[legbone]

awesome. love that it's in. i had to cancel my xbone preorder but i kept my forza 5 le preorder. i'll just keep the game until i get a console.

 

[Zeth]

Too obvious!

 

[SatansReverence]

I refused to believe the evidence.

I will happily eat crow right now. Lots of it.

Greatest race track in the world!

Can't wait

 

[chubigans]

Night race mode revealed!

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Well done T10. Amazing track. And this will be the first time Mount Panorama will be available to the public in laser-scanned form (iRacing's is expect to come in december, if memory serves me well).

2 down 1 to go. Bring on laser-scanned Nordschleife and I'm sold.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

That's cool.
I want to see more exotic locations though, like Bernese Alps from F4.

Got a good chuckle out of me.

Than perhaps you should wait until the next Horizon.

And that screen shot is taken from Forests Elbow just before conrod straight if anyone is interested.

Horizon 2 should be awesome. But I'm going to get a headache from all the people complaining about it being 30fps.

 

[Xanadu]

complaints are justified, no racer should be 30fps

 

[nib95]

See. Already my head is swollen. Arcade racers are perfectly fine at 30fps with eye candy turned up to 11. Some of the greatest senses of speed in the genre have been from 30fps racers.

for me gameplay is more important than eye candy, motion blur can be good but 60fps fluidity wins every time, fuck 30fps

 

[Mobius 1]

No video?

 

[supersaw]

If Fanatec makes something that makes my expensive wheel work with X1 I'd jump otherwise goodbye Forza series.

 

[patchday]

Yo I must say that track looks hot and so does that xbox Holden car. Props Turn 10!

For real tho if X1 supported my wheel I'd probably bite. Forza 5 is looking good. Granted, thats just a replay high rez shot right? Still tight tho I spent a lot of time watching my replay in forza 4

 

[SatansReverence]

No video?

This is Turn 10s marketing department. Asking for a video is far too much.

 

[Truespeed]

Tone it down...

And knock it off in the chase cam.

That track side detail... those grassy hills (above the FALKEN logo) look straight out of the PS2 era (texture wise speaking)

Yeah, they really don't...

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Yeah, they really don't...

Yes, they really do. look at the big image, not the one i quoted.

 

[SatansReverence]

Yes, they really do. look at the big image, not the one i quoted.

Or I could just click on it to make it fullsize and still see the fact they look nothing like PS2 quality textures.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

After clicking on it i think i was wrong, they look OG X-box quality (texture on the grassy hill)... and the strands of vegetation on top seals the deal, and what is going on with the ridiculous sunlight?, tone it down guys... or am i going to be forced to wear sunglasses when playing?

 

[DopeyFish]

Yes, they really do. look at the big image, not the one i quoted.

I think you should go take a look at PS2 textures again, to be honest.

And no, they aren't OG Xbox quality, either.

 

[Mobius 1]

This is Turn 10s marketing department. Asking for a video is far too much.

You'd think that with two months and change away from launch, they would bother to release some proper promotional videos.

My purchase of the console hangs on whether this title is good or not... they're not helping very much.

Ah... Conker begs to differ... but i digress...

Ok, i might have exagerated, mea culpa. ( so don't ban me for posting a negative post in a Forza thread, it is just my opinion)

Doesn't take away from the fact that those textures in particular look bad.

 

[linkeds2]

tire streaks that go to the wall on left turns always remind me of the senna crash

 

[Twin Tails]

Lens Flare = Next Gen

While I agree it looks a little bland don't forget you'll be driving fast and you really won't notice.

 

[LeeRoyBrown]

Looks great. Too bad we won't see gameplay until the game comes out.



This is what pushed you over the edge? An announcment of one circuit has convinced you to spend $560 on x1 and Forza 5?

I'm guessing he is Australian.

Just like me, I will also purchase GT6 if this track is included.

Spoiler

On PS4

 

[Xanadu]

but for photomode...

 

[flyinpiranha]

Neat, now tell me about wheel support. Seriously, MS, Turn10, Fanatec, whoever the fuck ... Somebody has to know!

Seriously the one thing keeping me from an launch XB1. I reeeeally want to play Forza, it's my favorite racer and this inclusion is fantastic. But I can't play with a controller and I won't buy a new wheel.
