I am jealous of Forza.
saw it running at Best Buy, the one thing that PS4 is lacking right now... a next-gen racing game

I know no one wants to hear about the cloud, but this is the game who has been using it the most. Drivatars sound awesome.

Drive Club looks absolutely amazing. Not a launch game though.
I did grab Need for Speed. Love that one.

True.
Wrong, not my intention. Just bringing next-gen's version of "Only On" to people's attention. I don't have allegiances I'm afraid.
And if this was a car forum, we might be discussing that

I thought Microsoft's latest marketing strategy might make for some interesting discussion.
Cloud anyone? It's clearly next-gen's

Semantics. The implication is clearly that this game is only technically possible on Xbox One.
I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it's clearly the intended conclusion, the other statement is entirely superfluous as it's platform exclusive.

This totally deserved a thread.

Only on Xbox was a much better marketing line imo.
No matter what pr MS throws at us, saying that this game cannot be made for a competing (more powerful at that) console is just laughable.

Didn't Sony do that several times with the PS3? But we all know now that anything done on the PS3 is definitely possible on Xbox 360. So there you go, marketing!

It clearly looks like you are trying to spark a "lets bash what MS is doing thread"
Did you think people couldn't read the slogan? It's marketing fluff. We're used to it.
The Drivatar feature is doable on any platform with servers, Forza could be made on PS4/XB1/PC It's only a marketing slogan but it's pretty stupid, Only on Xbox made much more sense. This will especially look stupid if they attempt to brand games such as Titaanfall/Zoo tycoon like this.

We have threads about marketing all the time. Just earlier today we had one about the Tesco Direct logo.
It think you're being a little speculative. This is actually great marketing from Microsoft's standpoint IMHO, it takes the "Only On" a step further.

Super Mario 3D World is only possible on the Wii U
Gran Turismo 6 is only possible on the PS3
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is only possible on the 3DS
I can go on.

Did somebody say Cloud?
Seriously though, you guys talk shit about cloud technology and I don't really understand why...at least not when it comes to gaming.
The future will likely see high graphics compute handled by server clusters, with clients remote accessing on tablets and other devices. Eliminating the need for a hardware box that loses its performance value as the years pass.

I like it more than "Only for" or "Exclusively on".
It also will piss off some people.

Well not really. Forza ain't seeing any other platform anytime soon. So it's still true.
MS is gonna market their games. Big whoop.
This is what happens when fanboyism runs amok.
Of course it's true. What part of 'exclusive franchise' don't you grasp?

"Only Available on Xbox One" would have been more accurate.

I'd be interested to know if it breaches advertising rules, the ASA in the UK can be quite picky about phrasings like that.

How so? When are you going to see Forza on a Sony platform? Nintendo platform? PC? Where's the subterfuge?
