they were looking for a 'capture artist' a couple weeks ago. Looks like they haven't found one.
Although with the old F1s, it could be really cool, there are a lot of better tracks that I'd like to see in FM before Monaco personally.
I guess it's a compliment to FM4 that it looks so good IN PHOTOMODE.
FM5's visuals will blow FM4 out of the water during actual gameplay. Photomode is just one big con, we all know this.

Forza games need gobs of AF. Not sure what F4 and F3 had, but the low amount of that during 60 fps gameplay was one of things holding back the impressive amount of detail they put in their tracks.
Monza would be nice. Not sure why its never been in Forza either, even a fictional version of it would work.

We have Prague too on the media event floor but the old E3 build.

so it's two separate demos...
well, i find this rather suspicious.
And what do you mean "We" ?
i didn't know you were officially a member of T10 Hey Badned, what is going on with you and the recent "we" you are using?
Also, any wheel news?
Thanx in advance.

Dont hold your breath. I asked Albert Penello twice and got nothing. Answered or acknowledged every ones question but mine about our Fanatecs.
its obviously bad news
Take it as gospel. The man never lies, or allows hyperbole to run riot.
BTW, BADNET is Major Nelson.
It's gonna handle like Forza alright.

The Prague build is running in the one big hydraulic setup with the Thrustmster proto that was at E3. All other demostations have the new build.so it's two separate demos...

Only wheel news I can give you is, the involved parties are still working on it. No ETA nor if or if not at all.
ok, which cars there are in the new demo?
Ok, there's some hope right there. I'll take it for now..
This is such an important issue. This will literally determine whether people buy the system and game or not...
Okay, I understand. Thank you very much for this, it really is a complicated issue it seems.

yeah...isn't it kind of 'not exactly smart' to have the big hydraulic wheel setup up for the old physics demo ?
Maybe it does not work with the new physics stuff.
its just that prague surroundings are more impressive than any real track surroundings.
so it is more effective to put that on the pimp setup. and also it makes no sense to update the old demo with the new physics as it is basically a waste of time at this point.
but, my question stands: what cars in new demo?

Wait, what? Sorry, as I am not a native speaker I didn't catch this until Sound bolded it above.
What does this mean exactly?
No ETA (estimated time of arrival - release date), no "if it is going to be released" or "if it going to be released at all"?
Am I interpreted that right?

Spa AND open-wheelers?

That track looks gorgeous.
For the decision on the wheels.

Not for the new wheels, but the current Fanatecs

They just one upped PD.
Nah, the image in the main screen, where you get the view of somebody who is 3 inches tall and standing at like 1 o'clock from the front of the car.Dat ass car pics?
Must he hiding something
Past games always picked these awkward angles that didn't show off the cars and liveries very well.

The lighting is much improved particularly the self shadowing and environment shadowing.
Will have to get a picture from somewhere of a car half in a long cast shadow to see if it still has the terrible FM4 shadow mapping.

they should just do it like forza 2, you can spin every car without having to click on it

Focus ST?
It does. Same static shadow maps that project weirdly on cars.
Looks like it. And the SL300 of course.

Come on now, the lighting is heavily improved.
They've got me fucked up if they think I'm going to throw down 500 + ...400 + wheel + game when I already have a 400 wheel that works on everything else...
Why fucking laser scan if they want to limit the wheel users to some sort of bullshit exclusive club. Seriously, they need to allow all wheels.
Where's that '...400' coming from?

Blind guess. Thrustmaster wheels aren't cheap, and the Forza/MS Fanatec was over 450 with both the wheel and the clubsport pedals...
Hopefully. The gameplay we've seen does look damn good and not *too* far away from these shots.
Nitpicking but they couldnt have chosen a different lighting condition for Laguna Seca now that they remodeled the whole track? Why not early morning or a bright afternoon. We've had the same look since Forza 1.
Oh, typed out, it looked like it was 400 plus the wheel or whatever.
Dude, FM4 was already in a blindingly bright afternoon! Made it really hard to take good photos, really.
Yep. I take very little joy from watching the progress of FM5, knowing that I'll probably be stiffed regarding steering wheel support just so MS can farm more money from their loyal customers. I know it's not a Turn 10 decision and it's wholly illogical, but the whole situation has really turned me against Microsoft, and by association, the driving game studio they own. And FM5 by itself would have been reason enough for me to buy a launch Xbone. My whole attitude to Xbox division has been turned on its head since E3, and it's all because of this bullshit steering wheel support policy.

How do you laser-scan a race track?
