You mean Forza 3's Career Mode, right? Honest Mistake.
No I mean the FM4 event grid that is a companion to the regular career.

Forza 4's event list was pretty much the same as Forza 3's, but with a severe lack of endurance races and far too many Top Gear 'mini games'
Nice!
Definitely jealous, I hope you have a great time!

There aren't any mini games in the companion event grid. I think you are confusing the main career calendar "world tour" with the event list grid I am talking about.
I mean this - each of these boxes is a whole race series. Was there one of these in FM3 too? Can't remember, I'll fire it up later and have a look.
Yeah it is very similar to Forza 3 in that sense. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't an entire column of those events Top Gear themed with Autocross and other random events like bowling pins and other stuff?
Seeing that grid again brought back horrible memories of having it around 95% complete, then booting the game one day to find it less than half finished. This happened twice. Never did find out why. Never did manage to complete it.
Maybe this isn't the right thread, but I have the hardest time trying to play Forza 5 with the pad. Maybe it's because I've been playing sims on my PC with a wheel for a while now (and haven't played a non Horizon Forza title since 4 first released) but I can't make half a lap without spinning out or sliding off. It feels like every car is on ice, even race cars. I've always played Forzas with a pad but never had such a hard time like I've had with 5.
Still looking forward to 6 but it's making me want a wheel. Unfortunately there isn't an affordable one that will work with both consoles and my PC.

Holy shit. Looked up the price for all that as I'm interested. Quite expensive.Thrustmaster TX 458 with H-Shifter.(Hopefully the pro pedals by launch)

The horrors of booting up a game, ready to resume your save, only to hear the "WELCOME TO FORTZAH MOTORSPOHT" like a first boot.
I just booted FM3 to find I had lost my entire save. I wasn't planning to continue, but at the same time I'm not happy that it's gone.
What does the shifter offer you over the stock paddles?
New pedals I can appreciate would help as the stock ones are naff.
Hey guys, I'm super happy to report that Turn10 (via the awesome Helios) sent us some 60 fps super high quality footage of the game. Enjoy it

And yes, people pretended that their 60 fps footage on youtube was real, when it was just interpolated from 30 fps broll. This is the real deal

Late to this, but looks great!
Me either, dare I say that FM3, 4, and probably 5, had far too much in the way of career races?
I think that using some overexposed, oversaturated photos doesn't really prove your point...Lighting doesn't make tracks look sterile, they look sterile because they are sterile in real life.
Forza really isn't that over saturated.
I think most games nowadays don't show how colorful these cars are in real life.

Forever? I mean, Forza threads?
THANKS!
Hey mate, is it because its in 3rd person ?? and the racing line's on.The cars seem to have smaller on the screen again, like they did in F3 from F2, could be just an illusion i'm seeing.Again, it's not the tracks that look sterile, I know how racetracks look.
The presentation just looks very 'gamey', and in my eyes that's because of the lighting engine they are using.
I mean, look at these gifs:
It looks sharp, it looks fast, it looks colourful. The IQ is very, very good.
But it does in no way come close to looking like real life. And again, that has nothing do do with the track, probably a mix between the lighting and T10's stylistic choices. Again, hard to put a finger on what it is exactly that's breaking the illusion.
Either way, I'll let it go
The ignore button is right there. Go nuts!
If I could trade one thing with GT, it would be the color palette or color correction in different lighting conditions. I always thought FM5 looked best with cloudy conditions, like on the Top Gear Test Track. As soon as the sun hits the paint, the colors just pop too much for my taste.
But again, that's another thing I stop worrying about when playing the game. Looks great, but doesn't look realistic to me, who cares in the end.
A few days ago when the first bunch of pictures where released I was so impressed that I actually considered buying an Xbone, but watching the Gamersyde videos made me change my mind. Sterile was the first word that came to my mind. I don't know what it is exactly, but something seems off.Again, it's not the tracks that look sterile, I know how racetracks look.

Personally I think the vibrant colour palette suits the game, all the custom paint jobs etc just would not look the same.
I really do not understand the sterile comments though. What would you do to improve it, so it looked less sterile?

Forza needs a sepia or black and white option.
Be careful what you wish for, people. If we aren't careful Dan might suddenly discover the piss filter.
...having never pre-ordered a game digitally, would the money be taken straight away?
This Forza Rewards thing: turns out I'm Tier 4, with 4,217 points. I went to redeem the points and was told they expire in eight days, with new rewards coming in nine days. What on earth does that mean?
Also, what do I need to do in FM 2, 3, 4 & (coming soon) 5 to maximise my points? Is it all explained simply and concisely somewhere?

I could go back to the previous games to use up my vast stocks of credits on buying hundreds of cars, but I can't be bothered.
I am perhaps in the minority of preferring the Forza 5 economy before the big Xbox backlash at launch that meant the game just started throwing money and cars at the player. I liked earning them. Yes even having to use in game credits to buy the DLC cars.
Money just drops in every month, nothing to spend it on.
