Yup. That's much how I feel... though with that said, Forza's PR stuff has always been awful.

24 players on dedicated servers? Aw yiss.
You honestly think it was a valid question? And I mean that, what words gave you the impression announcing the FM5 would have 120 new cars meant that they were saying they have two different model standards, a premium and a lower-quality set?

If anything ai heavies the load so can't see them bumping up the numbers with them.
Still 24 is too good to be true without confirmation. When showcasing no more than 4 at a time at demo's I'm going to hold off getting excited for now.

24 players online would be awesome (if confirmed).
Thank you for posting fellow GAFfer.
This is indeed great news, makes me wish I could get a launch Xbox One with FORZA 5 in my hands, can't wait for more gameplay.
Really lucky for the GAFfers enjoying this fine game, can't wait for the proper discussions in FORZA-Gaf (which is an amazing community).

I feel the same. Can´t justify buying a console just for this game. In a perfect world it would be a PC release so i could run gloriously in like 15 fps on my computer.
24 players online should be the baseline for this gen, with options to go to 32 in the next installment.

My god this is amazing news if true. Cant wait to see the mayhem in a 24 person race.

They say that the game needs 3 cars... Your first car, your current car, and your dream car. Thing is those 3 cars are different for everyone.
Indeed fellow GAFfer, not to mention the hard time in the Economy in here will not help it, either.
I still keep and eye of FORZA threads... and they are full of friendly faces I know and/or played Online... it hurts so much..!
Isn't it opposite? 16 online and 12 when it's the AI?

24 online?!
Previous high scorer on consoles AFAIK was Blur with 20 players.
The fact that it's a launch game which gives them a much tighter schedule, that they haven't mentioned the number of cars at all yet, that things like night and weather are still missing, and that the other big racing sim game did the exact same thing as I mentioned making it not so far fetched. That's not enough to even have a stab in the dark?

Hopefully we can get confirmation on this because that would be fantastic, although 24 players or more is kind of what I expect going into next-gen considering we had 16 this gen.

I will have fun beating you in batches of 23.ppP
ForzaGAF open wheeler championship cannot start soon enough!
GET HYPED!!!!!
such reckless drivers!
They NEED to support the G27, I can't justify buying a wheel JUST for XB1, especially when I can already use it on my PC, PS3 and soon PS4.
No G27 support means no buy on Forza, can't go back to a controller once you start racing with a wheel set up.
We need to start a movement for this.

At least Race Clean fellow GAFfer. I always raced clean. 24 players on the same corner, is going to be fun, can't wait for some GAF-Gameplay of it.

Then keep waiting.
While fun in arcade racers, that's not why I play racing sims.

Your wheel is at the back of the compatibility queue mate, they managed to survive this gen without supporting it.

I have a really expensive Fanatec and I'm fully expecting them not to support that either.
0% chance of this happening

It's time for Turn 10 to release direct feed gameplay videos. Evolution just went first.

Same here, well...wasn't expecting them (MS or Fanatec) to support it originally but I'm quite optimistic now, be it a 1st, 3rd party or totally unofficial, something will happen.
Just hope it's not a lousy XCM jobbie.
Hope they manage to finish it or in the worst case delay it. As much as I hate some of their decisions and MS' marketing, they still make damn fine and polished racing games.
So simulating real life racing isn't the main reason you play sim racers?

All I need is for Forza 5 to be bundled with the Xbox Day One Edition. I would pre-order that shit, like, yesterday.
what
CPU boost and now 24 players online. Coincidence, I think not
I was thinking about that too.
Greenawalt must've put the screws on MS..
"I'm doing Newtonian physics over here and working with Calspan for fuck's sake and you can't give me an extra 1.21 gigawatts of power?"
Day 1 Edition Preordered
Thank you for this. That's GIF is amazing.

I still think we are jumping the gun a bit here (Some sites are even reporting it as news).
There have been plenty of wrong amazon game descriptions in the past. So I'd wait until Turn 10 say so before doing any celebrating.
