Forza 5- New Footage

New footage of Laguna Seca from Xbox One flagship racing franchise Forza 5.

windblowsagain3898d ago

Looks good, but i still don't like the lighting model.

theWB273898d ago

Forza has always had a vibrant, colors pop type of look. It looks like sunlight...

4Sh0w3898d ago

Micro should give Turn10 a raise cause they constantly deliver with Forza.

game looks good, considering its on a next gen, then it could be better.. still its seems its starting to beat GT in graphycs department (not all details, but mostly track surroundings)cars are similar... physics still is not looking like it should be...

and I dont get those gaming journalists who dont know how to use a controller... I just wach, I dont listen to them..

starchild3898d ago

@Tvensky

Huh? Gran Turismo 5 was unimpressive. Even current gen (or is that last gen) Forza games already beat that.

mikeslemonade3898d ago

Racing sims are lame. It's what you should expect from a racing sim. Nothing special here.

Now this is what i'm talking about. Like Ryan said in the video, this is going to be a great signature game for the XB1 to really show of what the hardware is capable of at launch in terms of technical, visual features and control features, etc...

mcstorm3898d ago

This game looks amazing the reason why I have decided to pickup a one over the ps4 at launch but that said the back end of this year and beginning of next is great for racing fans as we ill have Forza 5, Project Cars, Drive Club and GT6.

christian hour3898d ago

I dunno if its the video compression or not but is there still no AntiAliasing in Forza? Can anyone clarify that for me? I thought we were saying bye bye to those jaggies this gen :(

Gazondaily3898d ago

There is AA but iirc, the developer did say that it was impossible to completely get rid of them unless you had a 4K display.

plmkoh3898d ago

It's the LG TV, due to the Passive 3D filter you will get a fixed aliasing pattern no matter what you do.

Practical for consumer consumption, but one of the worst TVs to show off your game.

christian hour3897d ago

Thanks for the clarification guys :) Was worried there for a second.

As for needing a 4k display to completely get rid of them, I think the developer might have been making up excuses. I've seen plenty of PC games with fantastic AA.

Then again I understand that a TFT-lcd PC monitor is very different from the LCD and Plasma screens used in TV's, so I'm probably wrong there. Haven't really been keeping up with advancements in display technology other than expansions in resolution.

Bigpappy3898d ago

You guys are getting distracted. Focus on the rumble in the triggers. That's going to be the memorable innovative experience that will stick with you, after you finish you first race.

christian hour3898d ago

I played forza 2 on 360 with the X360 steering wheel back in le day... I don't think rumble in the triggers could even come close as being as memorable an experience as racing with force feedback and active resistance features for the first time.

Bigpappy3898d ago

I have been humbled? Should have said if you are a controller only gamer, it will leave you with a different experience. Fixed.

ABeastNamedTariq3898d ago

The rumble triggers sound like a really cool feature to me. Have to admit I'm a little jelly. It's perfect for games like this. And shooters. Ah well, I'll get the XB1 soon enough though lol.

AngelicIceDiamond3898d ago

I agree I love his constant emphasis on the X1 controller. The X1 controller must be something truly great, he seems really excited about it.

MadLad3898d ago

Has been my favorite racing series since Forza 3.

CRAIG6673898d ago

I love Gran Turismo also but regardless of what the my little sony crew say, GT5 was a let down in many ways, Forza 4 was way ahead and this... well, what's the point in Sony even releasing GT6? This is a Huge step forward.

MadLad3898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

I like Gran Turismo, but I agree. The game was a let down.
It took way too long, not to mention extra funding through a glorified demo, for what the game actually ended up being. Forza, now, is in its own league. Project Cars is looking very promising though, mind you.

CRAIG6673898d ago

Agreed, project cars looks promising and I also have an eye on driveclub, it looks like it will be massive fun.

I really think Sony should have put more time into GT6 and just release it as a PS4 exclusive, oh well...

WeAreLegion3898d ago

Will the wireless speed wheel be compatible with the XBO? I really enjoyed playing with that. Also, does the XBO controller have a gyroscope? Because that might be just as good.

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.

bluefox7551735d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1735d 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.

IRetrouk1735d 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.

lxeasy2426d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2426d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2426d ago (Edited 2426d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2426d 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.

TheSaint2426d ago

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

EazyC2427d 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

Ps propagandist article and post.

Keep it neutral, fanboy.

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