In order to give you a preview of what you're downloading, we've supplied performance analysis of the gameplay video, proving that Turn 10 has done it again in providing a faultless 60fps experience. We're currently working on a more detailed critical appraisal of the technology in the new Forza, which we hope to run in the next couple of days.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Downloading... I love these next-gen now videos on DF.

Gamersyde will have some serious competition if DF continue with this.

 

[Impeccable]

Well done!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

If you're used to the locked 60fps of previous Xbox 360 Forza Motorsport titles, you'll be right at home with the new Xbox One offering.

Nom.

 

[FrankT]

Impressive.

 

[Damaniel]

Nice to see they completely nailed locked 1080p/60fps. When I get an Xbox One, I'll pick this up right along with it.

 

[Brohan]

Couldn't they have put in some more AA if it runs this solidly?

 

[statham]

that is rock solid, well done T10.

 

[Loris146]

Amazing performance

 

[T.O.P]

Sweet

 

[saladine1]

Yeah, Forza and stable 60fps have been very good friends for a while now.

[StoppedInTracks]

Best Xbone launch game?

Seems so.

Good job Turn 10!

 

[ILHASS]

dat trees....dat downgrade..

 

[Hermii]

To have it run less solid?

 

[LittleJohnny]

Now that's how you do it!

Day one for me.

 

[nib95]

That video confirms that the game has had a pretty significant downgrade since the main gameplay reveal. In terms of overall lighting, textures, geometry, AO etc. But on the positive side, at least it holds a constant 60fps.

 

[Cincaid]

dat trees....dat downgrade..

Since that was one of the YouTube comments, I assume you are one of the down votes on the video as well?

[Brohan]

No ofcourse not, what i meant was that it looks like they still have some power left to spend, but maybe not.

 

[ekim]

Watched the video. Definitely looks good but the motion blur and the lack of AF are a bummer. (and the trees)

 

[MThanded]

The processing overhead with AA would probably smash the 60fps goal.

[Venturer]

Car models look great but not really impressed with the ground textures.

 

[Lemonte]

looks nice and solid fps. But dat rim pop up at 3:06

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Best Xbone launch game?

Seems so.

Good job Turn 10!

If your a racing fan it's looking like the best game on either platform

They toned down the color saturation.

This looks very different.

 

[Brohan]

It's clear Turn10 really cares about this stuff... I'm sure they squeezed every ounce of power they felt like they could while making the frame rate never drop below 60.

Yeah i guess so huh, it's just that it could really use some more AA.

Here's a better link.

Forza 5 E3 Prague Direct Feed gameplay

I made a post about it earlier. Didn't notice before, but they may have removed some motion blur too.

Obviously it's not conclusive given the extreme compression and video sizes (near final version being 1080p footage, the original E3 footage being 720p), and different views (cockpit vs outside) etc, but to me at least it looks like there may have been a few downgrades in areas. I like that they've toned down bloom in certain segments, and that they've added glass to certain windows etc, but overall IQ, cleanliness, lighting and in areas, AO and texture/geometry detail just seems to have taken a dive.

Original reveal top, newer build bottom.

 

[Moronie]

mission accomplished!!!!!

 

[Blastoise]

Direct feed gameplay makes it look very sterile.

Wow e3 footage looks much better.

 

[Dragon1893]

The game looks great and performance is flawless. Well done Turn 10. An example to be followed.

Edit: just read their review, surprised to see a 7.

 

[synce]

Looks and sounds good but microtransactions have deflated any hype I might've had for this or GT. It wouldn't kill Turn 10 to put in some night time and rainy races too...

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Two days.....

Can't wait.

 

[eso76]

Replay camera footage, that's why motion blur was there (possibly, some additional AA too)

Still downloading the video

To be fair, while some of the track side objects show signs of a visual downgrade compared to earlier builds of the game, they did a few upgrades elsewhere. Like buildings with added awnings for instance, and some of them even replaced with higher detailed models in certain areas of Prague.

Forza 5 E3 Prague Direct Feed gameplay

Replay footage. It's also running at 30FPS so they might be able to add some stuff there.

 

[dark10x]

Disappointed that reflections and mirrors are still only updated at half rate, though. Reflections especially look a bit weird as a result.

IGN was probably replay footage hence the motion blur. But yeah, there's changes in other areas too.

 

[metareferential]

nib95, all I can see is compression artifacts.

Why don't you all download high-quality footage before jumping to conclusions?

Besides, it replay vs gameplay.

 

[FDC1]

That's great. Let's hope they will able to do the same with 100% next gen assets for Forza 6.

lighting looks a lot more natural, although that's not necessarily an upgrade, rather a design choice.
A lot of those 3d buildings you'd see from the top of the hill in the distance are gone, as is the fog.

Overall, very pleased with the way the game looks and runs. AF also looks a lot better than it did in YT videos.

DAT 3D CROWD, though.

wait...


i thought i saw..


isn't that...

OMG COUNTLESS GREENAWALTS IN THE CROWD !

 

[Metalmurphy]

Is it really him? Haha

Wrong, because there's direct feed footage of Jimmy Fallon playing that exact build.
