There we have it.
Forza Motorsport 5 had a DX12 demo on PC's to show off what it can do.

I skipped project cars for this, sounding good so far
It's not, "Tales from my ass".
We already know Turn 10 has been working with DX12 for a while now.

What is the problem with a little hyping up DX12? It will bring performance improvements and those can push the hardware just enough to enable things that previously were not possible.
I think his point was that people were constantly moaning about Forza not having weather or races at different times of day. We all can always take arbitrary points and say I don't like that, me disappoint.

When Phil said DX12 improvements would vary based on each/game developer you'd have to think the biggest gains (regardless of how small they end up being) will obviously be on the games and engine developed exclusively for Xbox One, its always how it works for exclusives.

Really excited for Gameplay at E3. I think it will look better than PCars.
1080 pixels and 50FPS, my Gameboy Micro is ready.

This should be in the OP. Would stop the "lol 50fps" comments.
I just hope the drivatars are much better this go around.
Yeah, same. I wanted to get it, but at this point, dunno when I'll ever play it.

I'm happy they made the tough choice to cut content in F5 to bring things up to a new standard.
And posts like the one above yours.

So what? Are you guys expecting a magic new GPU with DX12? Phil Spencer already said that DX12 wont make a difference on XboxOne. DX12 is a PC thing.
And people really should forget about it already. Its getting really annoying.
Btw Reddit is salty that you didnt credit them @OP
Well you also need to take into account the games that rely more on CPU power. Forza is a title that can always use more CPU power and even a 10% jump enables a lot of things for them.
Most of what DX12 is bringing for Xbox One is proper CPU communication.
I hope we will se some returning tacks like Maple Valley and Suzuka as well as some new to the series tracks.
Yes, I personally don't really care for night racing if it isn't delivered in form of day/night cycle.

I can add it but to be honest, it should have been obvious it was a typo. I ignored it in my title for a reason
I have no idea why anyone would seriously think it would be 50fps. That's embarrassing behavior.

that's a nice way to force a reveal after a leak like this. People assume it's worse than it is and they'll have to say something about it.
What are you talking about? DX12 has a wealth of new features that can be used. Just because it will not make a performance difference does not mean it will not make a visual difference.

I saw someone tweet it out which was then RT'd and appeared on my timeline, I didn't see it on Reddit but I will add it now
No he didn't, that's a load of bull.
PCars devs already stated that DX12 could give them a further 7% or more performance boost and their game wasn't even built with it in mind.
Phil Spencer said that there will be a performance improvement to games using DX12 but it won't be dramatic. He also said that the exact improvement depends on the game.

Nobody is seriously thinking this. Everyone is just having a good time.
Yeah, most people were just joking and being sarcastic about it.

I guess the Top Gear stuff will be cut this year?
Or will they just keep the track but ditch the VO?
Or will they just keep the track but ditch the VO?
Do they really want to throw themselves into that controversy?

I'm actually glad about it, although they're always a little bumpy in the first corners of a race, they really put up a good fight later on if you set their difficutly high. what made it frustrating were the short races, 2-3 rounds just wasn't enough to fight them clean and go for the win.
I'm sure they will add some improvements to make them even better in FM6.

I give it up... you are really expecting too much. And im tired about DX12 discussions. You should accept the Xbone Hardware for what it is.
Taking every buzzword Microsoft throws around, wont change the Hardware. Feels like reddit sometimes. People there are hyping DX12 like its a new revision of XboxOne.

what is with the putting words in people's mouths? Maybe slow down on the witch hunt and let people speculate.

Sonoma and Suzuka or bust
DX12 on Xbox One is there to make the development of a game easier and to get certain things out of the console in a more efficient way, it will not add more p's or frames than what is possible with the hardware, I thought this was already known.
So it's more of a feature thing? Okay.
4D with HoloLens.
Oh c'mon, don't be so silly.
Don't come out here and make a claim like Phil Spencer said DX12 will do nothing for Xbox One and not expect to get called out for it. No one here is claiming some huge improvement but 15% would be awesome if possible!
Also, you're on a professional and mature gaming forum, don't sit there and act as if new hardware is required for software to increase performance of a console.
Xbox 360 and PS3 had the same hardware at launch as they did at the end of the generation yet Halo 4 and Last of Us will stay play on launch systems.

They could talk around it. Sort of like how when Forza got the TG licence and Gran Turismo had to remove their Top Gear stuff / not mention it in promotional stuff.
So instead of having "Top Gear Test Track" you can now race on the "Dunsfold Aerodrome"

HoloLens support confirmed
Niiiice. I have a friend who's a HUGE Forza fan. This is great news.
Well, besides that there is not much you can find bad with Forza.
Seriously?
We all understand there's hardware caps, and know the numbers of the X1. That doesn't deny the fact that it we will get performance improvements from DX12, and since it's a heavily CPU reliant genre, it will be a good candidate for it. If it's anything like last generation, look at the visual leap from FM 2 > 3.
Holy cow though, am so hype for this.

Hopefully the drivatar's this time around are not clowns in fast cars, the real drivatar stuff was and still is in forza 1.

Isn't that the refresh rate for European sets? US = 60hz, EU = 50hz, or is that something difference?
Yeah there'll be always prople who won't be satistied but the Forza franchise is indeed always improving and consistent (well except for Forza 5 I guess)
Yes but that doesn't matter. The game will run @60fps. 50 was a typo.
Motion Blur doing it´s tricks
Fooled me at first. I felt like an idiot. I got a really big 4K tv, and was playing Horizon 2 on it with cockpit. I was like WHOA this is crazy. Then someone was like, you idiot that is 30 FPS.

Wouldn't it make sense for Microsoft to release a PC version of the game this time?

Yeah, if they didn't want to sell any Xboxs.
