"With all the fuss and confusion regarding what the Cloud can actually do, Turn 10 studios' Dan Greenawalt has explained how it will work for their upcoming racing simulator: Forza Motorsport 5."

Then... What's the point in playing if a BOT does it all for you?

Ah well, Guess you can choose to turn it on and off!... I hope...

Urusernamesucks3954d ago

The difference is the bot is having all the fun and your not.

Richard Cypher3954d ago

Again they try to make us think that the cloud thing add something to gaming but it won't in 99% of gaming style.
And it has been technically proven than it can't enhance real-time graphic.

dedicatedtogamers3954d ago

Press X to win.

I guess Forza is just taking cues from Ryse.

Loki863954d ago

The amount of misinformed people on this site about both of these games is staggering, do some research.

Ryse all button prompts and slow down can be disabled with hardcore mode. Forza download AI then you get XP based on how your avatar does in these races ON OTHER CONSOLES.

AutoCad3954d ago

@dedicate isnt what you all do in god of war?

rdgneoz33954d ago

@AutoCad Except Ryse will complete the cinematic kills for you even if you screw up the button prompts...

GameCents3954d ago

Yes dedicated, you are exactly right. When Forza 5 comes out, you'll pop it into the console and then press X and the game will be over.
Thank you so much for that wonderful insight. Now we don't need to hear from you in another Forza 5 article again because you've educated us so well.

Well done. Your parents must be proud.

LonDonE3954d ago

I am sorry but gran turismo 5 has b spec mode, where you coach bots to drive for you and earn you cars and money, and thats on PS3, whats so revolutionary about that? it was a waste of resources on gt5 and will also be a waste on forza, the garbage these devs come up with to milk the fans, instead of concentrating on things which matter, LOLOLOLOL

When your Avatar(refuse to say what it is actually called) is downloaded then you gain experience based on how your AI does on other consoles. You still play your game and earn experience as normal. Sounds pretty innovative and a good incentive to make the game harder.

kneon3954d ago

It sounds stupid to me. So you get XP without even playing, that's dumb. I thought the GT b spec was pretty much just filler to pad your wallet but this is even worse since you don't even have to do anything.

GentlemenRUs3954d ago (Edited 3954d ago )

I hope there will be a way to turn this off, I like to play games... Not let some program do all the work for me :(

EDIT: I would also like a reason why people disagree, I'm all ears... I won't bite ;)

@Kratos_Kills

The concept is fine, but you shouldn't get XP for it, that's the dumb part

@edonus

This is not rocket science, the use of "cloud computing" in this context is overblown. They will simply parameterize your driving characteristics and feed that into their AI algorithm on the other console. It's not that difficult and doesn't really need cloud computing, only cloud storage so that your parameters can be accessed by others.

they are just bluffing since xbone is 1.2 teraflops they want want to back it up with cloud shit and compete with PS4's 1.84 teraflops .. they think gamers are idiots and will never figure out what cloud is really for.. without cloud Xbone games will look bold and dull and i can guarantee that multi-platform games will look better in PS4 offline..

Haules3954d ago (Edited 3954d ago )

In Forza 5 car plays you...

GameCents3954d ago

It's a Microsoft game, quick lets nitpick it to death and pretend this feature will keep people from enjoying their game!

Everything Microsoft does is a way to stop gaming from being fun amarite?
I'm so tired of coming to the comment section of this site and being bombarded with nonsensical complaints about everything. Please keep your pessimist attitude in the forums.

I mean for crying out loud really? You really think a bot is going to "have all your fun"?

Again I ask, is there a class that you people take to spin everything xbox related into a negative?

GentlemenRUs3954d ago

"Again I ask, is there a class that you people take to spin everything xbox related into a negative?"

There must a class which you take to take a stab at anything when someone does not like a feature...

3-4-53954d ago

When your not playing, your bot is being you, in other people's games.

Therefore, when you race AI...it's actually AI based on real players actions, not some set code.

It changes and adjusts all the time and becomes more like you the more you race.

It will make racing offline feel like you are racing online.

It's great for single player honestly, if it does actually work out that way.

Context is a terrible thing to waste.

All this and T10 can't even use the cloud to make rain.

I understand what Turn 10 is doing with the AI. However it seems like M$ just pulled the plug on "Cloud Gaming" to make it seem like we are missing out. Like they expect us to cry "NO Please put back the DRM check in so we can have all this cloud stuff." or something.

Loki863954d ago

No the "cloud stuff" is still essential part of the console as they said in their statement.

Also, Conficker that made me laugh, good one.

AngelicIceDiamond3954d ago

@C4 cloud is still MS "vision"

http://www.joystiq.com/2013... Mandatory DRM has absolutely nothing to do with the cloud and games utilizing it.

captain_slow823954d ago

so there pretty much doing what the iphone game real racing 3 is doing then lol

http://www.polygon.com/2013...

thats what ms are doing with the cloud really lol

kneon3954d ago

That sounds like it's just based of the final lap times rather than any real analysis of the driving characteristics.

captain_slow823954d ago (Edited 3954d ago )

i have the game on iphone and yes its a very neat trick how it works....

and it could be done on any console rite now...

point is try the game on iphone then play forza 5 then disagree with me because im 100% certain u wont

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
