This is the newest thread, so I'll ask in here.

Does anyone know what wheel that is?

It's the Thrustmaster one, although in beta form.
I just noticed in gameplay videos that part of the HUD was fading out of the way. Another thing we requested here on NeoGAF.

Loading from a conventional HDD will always limit load speeds.
How great would it be if we could put in a large SSD Microsoft?

This was the best looking game I played yesterday. Bummer about the weather and time stuff but god it still looks so good.

He was probably at E3.
They said hundreds of cars I believe so probably 200 to 400?

You should add "No buy" to the title.

At this point I think weather and night racing are subjects dan and the team just don't want. I don't think it's a case of them not being able to do it, but a design decision... Same way they just don't seem to want to get rid of the terrible floating camera replay angles, etc.
I really wanted to be excited for 5, but sadly this will most likely be the first forza game I won't buy at launch
Though time will tell, all can change once we know more.
What? They have a limited amount of time to launch this holiday season. That's less than 6 months from now -- if you want to ship, you cut features or you cut quality. Hiring more people now won't work, mythical man month etc.
You can still choose not to buy it, that's totally fine (I'm disappointed too). But I think it's being unfair to the dev team to say they take pleasure in cutting features.

See, if physics are the problem, then there really is no reason that couldn't be shifted to the cloud (literally). One says there's a rain-heavy track coming up, sends the physics adjustments per-tyre need up to the cloud, cloud does whizz-bang quick calcs, sends numbers down... all in the loading screen. Then all the One has to take care of is the display of the water (which should be possible to reliably fake/interpret to match calculated physics)... simulating the tyre behaviour is then just a matter of using a cached lookup table (oh, 73rd corner on Nurburg has X horizontal force, Y vertical force and Z friction applied due to weather changes). Could even be done during a race for changing track weather or racing lines on wet tracks.
BAM. Problem solved. You're welcome, Dan.
You don't even need the cloud for that. Why not just pre-compute all those numbers and send that data as a patch or even DLC?
Hello. Building nukes is eazy. Use a rocket, fuel it up, put some uran into it and start the party. Pew pew
wait, got to ask my teacher if this ok so.
Ah yes it is!
You re welcome

Nah, I wouldn't mention it if it was dynamic. Just saying that, for example, the One mentions that there's, say "heavy" showers across Spa and sends that to the cloud, cloud does calcs, sends back appropriate forces that need to be applied around every inch of the track in one hit. Would be a small file assuming it's only numerical data and would only need to be done at the loading screen (or at a few times during a race, but certainly not every second, depending on changeable conditions).
Mascot, here is something to add to the list as probably most hilarious development of them all:
Forza Motorsport 5 shall not work in very country where the most prominent course - PRAGUE - is located
This is beyond hilarious.

No Czech Republic on the officially supported country list.
Yeah dear Prague citizens, you will not be able to play Forza 5 in your own city.
Of course, my country is not on the list too.
So, even if the Fanatec issue will be settled and even if I would somehow decided to bite the bullet over all DRM nonsense, my Forza 5 game would simply not work.
Thank you MS, I will finally build myself a gaming PC from the allocated XBO funds.

Wow...MS is messing up at everything possible. What is going on at MS?

Oh, well, it's your lucky day, Amar, because "fortunately they have a system you can buy and play ! It's called Xbox 360 !"
this is ridiculous, but they said "at launch". Maybe..errr....just wait a few months ?
I didn't say they took pleasure in cutting features, but it seems at this point in time that they just don't care or want to add in features us as fans are crying for. Building an engine from the ground up has been their calling card for what, 3 games now? You'd think by that time they would have some sort of solution for day/night/weather cycles - though still no mention of it.
I love this franchise along with pgr and gran turismo, I just want to see the best of each studio.
Ahahahahaha. Oh wow.
Where do you live, amar? Man, this will KILL MS. I thought not being able to use the console without internet would kill them enough, but not being able to use it because your country isn't "supported"? What a kick in the nuts. Even if they're announced post-launch, who's going to keep an eye on MS' map to see when their country is added?
Honestly, I think they would've been far better in creating a GT Prologue-type title, where what they have they can release at launch (maybe even as a pack-in for the console?) and continue working on the "full" game to be released in 6 months or however long it takes for them to not undercook it.
Forza 1 and its night tracks and all the great original tracks before the bean counters started designing Forza games.

What the fucking fuck? I don't even know where to begin. This is staggeringly unbelievable. It's like Microsoft are clinically depressed and keep self-harming as a cry for help.
In other news: No Porsche in FM5.
The support worded it rather carefully. They didn't definitively state that it won't work, but didn't want to make it sound like it would work, since they don't know. I doubt the Xbox support people know that much more about the One already than the rest of us. They may have only that country list to go on, but not know how the actual system would behave at that location.
If the 360 with XBL set to another region works there now, then I don't see why it wouldn't work for the One.
For now the country is not one of the official XBL countries, so the console may not be sold there directly. However, they could probably easily buy one from e.g. Germany or Austria.

Sounds to me that if it's not a supported country - if it doesn't work, you were warned.
That's exactly what it is. If it doesn't work, you were warned. That's what the support is supposed to say.
However, just because it's not supported doesn't mean it won't work. XBL works on the 360 in countries that aren't supported, too: "Users from other countries are not officially supported, although it is possible for them to access Xbox Live if they provide an address located in a country where Xbox Live is officially available." (source wiki)
Of course the official support isn't going to say that un-supported countries are somehow supported. They didn't definitively say it won't work: "unsupported countries would not have the full experience". I bet if you asked the same guy if XBL on the 360 worked in an unsupported country, his answer would be the same.

Think it could be a server/cloud situation? They probably don't have clouds near enough so they won't be able to authenticate your xbox?

Spa? second in on the left at top.
Spa?
Yup.
