Wow! I love Forza, I know Turn 10 works darn hard on the games, but darn it at this point they should have night racing at the very least. There is no excuse not to have it now. I was all set to buy this day one, but I'll wait a bit to see if they implement it at a later date!
Very bitter sweet feeling right now about Forza 5.

words can not describe the utter fail that this is next gen with better and powerful hardware.

there should be no reason that this game doesnt have night racing, or a day/night cycle. the gaming media better rip them for this.

Yi-Long3963d ago

... AFTER the game is launched, as downloadable content you'll have to pay extra for.

I think the Forza games are absolutely fantastic, but I didn't bother picking up Forza 4 or Horizon because of Turn 10's DLC-milking.

Aceman183963d ago

@Yi

You know that would not surprise me Lol. I would love to hear T10 excuse for them not having it in a next gen game.

Jakens3958d ago

If any game (besides Gears) milks DLC it's Forza.

BABY-JEDI3963d ago

I think it's purely all about getting the game out for launch. They obviously can do a lot more, but to miss the XBone launch would be a BIG disappointment for the fans.

Jakens3958d ago

I'm a fan and I want a finished game please.

Kalowest3963d ago

WTF... That's a deal breaker, I was really hyped for this game :(

izumo_lee3963d ago

Really? Seriously!? A game called Gran Turismo 3 made over 10 years ago had night racing & wet roads. How in this day & age with advanced tech that a game of Forza's caliber is unable to do things a 10 year old game did!

Fans of Forza should be upset cause racing in night & weather is part of the hazards of racing. It makes the experience that much more exciting.

chcolatesnw3962d ago

because its easy to apply a night theme and slippery track. i hate it when people put it like that. "well a game 50 years ago had this crap why can't this one do it". because they can't just make the track look wet, they gotta make it feel wet too, which involves a whole lot of physics and probably days/weeks/months of testing on each type of car. also just making it night doesn't work like it did in your GT3, tho it's still relatively unadvanced. you gotta have different lighting effects which should be relatively easy to do.
EITHER WAY, THEY SHOULD HAVE THESE THINGS BECAUSE ITS NEXT GEN AT THE VERY LEAST, I AM ONLY ARGUING WITH YOUR BS "OH THIS GAME HAD THIS FEATURE 10 YEARS AGO"

claudionmc3962d ago

So are you saying that they cannot do what Sony did in GT6? with a hardware of 2006 and 256mb of video memory?

I think that rain and/or night features wouldn't be possible in xbox one at 1080p and 60fps... that would explain this

chcolatesnw3962d ago

"So are you saying that they cannot do what Sony did in GT6? with a hardware of 2006 and 256mb of video memory?"
GT6
Gt6

YES, I completely agree with that argument. Why cant they do on 8x more powerful hardware when PD did.
But to compare to GT3 like the guy above said where rain would have no impact other than visual, or maybe the car would slide here and there. GT6 rain, I have no idea actually, but Im guessing will affect how the car/tires/traction and pretty much everything works. So yes, comparing to GT6 they have no reason not to do it. It sucks tho because I might still have to shell out 500$ just to play it. I love the Forza franchise and since theres no GT6/7 that I can play on PS4 soon after launch, and seeing how DriveClub is arcade/30fps, I might have to shell that money out so that I can fill up on my racing simulation with good visual needs.

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.

TheSaint2421d 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

Damn good month. No doubt

senorfartcushion2422d ago

Ps propagandist article and post.

Keep it neutral, fanboy.

senorfartcushion2421d ago

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