Looking forward to this in a big way, but, if my Fanatec wheel set up doesn't work, I'll be taking a pass on it and the Xbox One.

Along with the usual damage, then superb physics and graphics, plus the beautiful tracks/environments, hundreds of cars with cockpit view, Turn 10 continues to outdo themselves with great new features like:

60FPS and 1080p resolution
Fully dedicated multiplayer servers
New Driveatar system is always playing always adapting
Forza Vista Mode for every car in the game

Brutal, I hadn't thought about that, that's a big investment I wouldn't want to replace either, that sucks but I have a cheap play seat with the old wireless racing wheel attached, I've been using it this whole gen, its always worked fine for me, so I'm just going buy a "cheap" wheel hopefully for Forza5....I have a lot of stuff to buy come the holidays so I got to prioritize/budget what I plan on picking up.

I started out with a wheel mounted to a plywood table I built years ago. Than it, as everything does with me, evolved into a room dedicated for gaming but primarily racing. Especially Forza. It's my favorite game on a wheel. I'm just really frustrated with MS. I get most of what they're doing with the X1 just not them abandoning peripherals, used and rental games.

I know used games will work but I don't want to have to learn how. I just want plug and play friendly. MS really needs to just come out and be 100% clear how everything will break down. Than again it's hard to weed through the misinformation often posted on sites like this because of tabloid journalism. You don't know what to believe.

I have a monster PC gaming rig but I prefer consoles for their ease of use / plug and play. I don't have shallow pockets. I could swing a whole new wheel and rig combo but I was really planning on going big with a whole new sound system for the next generation. I am still waiting for Thrustmasters plans for their new F5 wheel. If it's on par or better than the T500? I might still take the plunge.

I just don't think Thrustmaster would do that because the sweet spot for a FFB wheel for consoles is usually -$300. Maybe they will build multiple versions. 1 for the budget oriented gamer and 1 for the mentally deranged.

Forza 5 does look freaking incredible though. Everytime I see it I weaken. Must be strong. Must resist.

I have the Fanatec CSR Elite (Official Forza 4 Wheel) so I feel your pain but it's not going to happen. Our Fanatec wheels wont work on the X1.

MS is working with Thrustmaster and they are building the Official Forza 5 wheel. Rumors are that it is the T500 motor but built around X1 code. The T500 is an incredible wheel (I own one) but I prefer the CSR Elite and especially the CSPedals V2 over the T500 pedals.

I don't see why our wheels are being X'ed out (pun not intended). I mean I just got the wheel a little over a year ago and it's the official MS Certified Forza 4 wheel. So I agree because that was the deal breaker for me as well with Forza 5.

I'm not shelling out another 500 to 800 dollars for a wheel and pedal setup because we, the dedicated diehard fans, are being left behind yet again. It's not right.

urwifeminder3959d ago

My launch game that's for sure if I have to get a new wheel I will do it its worth it to me.

Foxgod3959d ago

Best looking racing game imho so far, and it already played the best for me, so i cant go wrong picking this up.

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"

Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.

bluefox7551731d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1731d ago

Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.

IRetrouk1731d ago

I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for September 2017 any good?

James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"

Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.

lxeasy2422d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2422d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2422d ago (Edited 2422d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2422d ago

I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.

TheSaint2422d ago

I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.

EazyC2422d ago

Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides

Profile picture, son. I'm an adult, I don't do that fanboy nonsense.
