Listen to Dan Greenawalt Talk Forza 5 Behind Closed Doors “You’ve Never Driven Anything Like This”

Forza Motorsport 5 Creative Director Dan Greenawalt is a man that’s extremely passionate about his job and about his game, and it shows in this behind closed door presentation for the press at Gamescom, where his passion for simulation and racing was very evident and most of the journalists in the room went completely fish-eyed, while the few actual gamers and sim-racers present started to smile wide.

“You’ve Never Driven Anything Like This” - Whatever. I've driven way better.

Turn Ten seems to forget that they are new kids of the block. Polyphony Digital has been at this game way longer, and are way better and more efficient than them.

But Turn Ten keep spewing rubbish talk.

Abriael3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

Eh, that's not such a tall order.

Having tried the game at Gamescom, I can easily say it's true even simply because of the generational gap.

That doesn't mean we'll never see other games like that when the next generation hits, but as of now, the statement holds true.

The suspensions especially feel awesome, and the cornering behavior of the cars I tried was amazing.

JokesOnYou3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

allformats Nobody said anything about GT....I'd expect any dev, I don't care if its a indie dev to speak confidently about his game, if he doesn't think its the best why do I want something a dev knowingly made half assed? Both companies boast about their product but when its xbox related some folks go nuts, insecure much?

I admire there passion, but when there next gen game is still comparable to a current gen game (GT6) it is a bit of a big statement. Still I can admire their passion for what they are making.

Abriael3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

Eh, comparable how? because having tried both they do feel rather different. I'm a BIG GT fan, but there's a limit to the calculations a PS3 can do compared to a more modern machine. GT7 or whatever they'll call it on PS4 will probably be leaps and bounds beyond it. And it's the same with Forza 5 from what I experienced at least for the variables it takes in account.

Foxgod3888d ago

But will GT7 be leaps and bounds beyond Forza 7?

cell9893888d ago

@ Abriael ok now youre just over hyping Forza, you do know optimization comes along way on PS3, I dont think the gap is that big as you make it out to be, the fact that Forza in a 1st generation game on new hardware and GT6 is a 4th generation game tells you that besides a few extra polygons per vehicle, no one is going to break new ground in here

Abriael3888d ago

@cell989: no. I'm just describing what I tried. Did you?

There's no optimization you can do to put a 7 years old machine on par with a new one. It's that simple.

Physics simulation is one of the elements that tests hardware the most. Again, it's that simple.

robotgargoyle3888d ago

The comparisons will be inevitable. Two rival companies, two highly rated racing series. GT6 is coming out towards the end of PS3s console cycle, and should benefit from devs being familar with it's tech. Forza 5 is a launch title made on a new console. The best titles usually arrive towards the end of a console's cycle, launch titles seem rushed and devs have not taken advantage of the hardware just yet.

That being said, Forza 5 will be one of the most polished launch games on either next gen system. GT 6 will be great too. From understanding, it's an apples to oranges scenario where no games is a clear winner. Preference is key.

JackStraw3887d ago

@abriael you didn't really describe anything lol. you pretty much just said "hey forza 5 is better. believe me, i tried it at gamescom."

i'm not doubting you as, i'd hope it'd be better being a next-gen game and all, just pointing out the fact.

It's all subjective. Your opinion counts and should be respected. Do you expect a dev to not actively promote and have confidence in their game(s). I like this kind of passion from devs...

testerg353888d ago

Always a Sony fan commenting first. Must suck with nothing else to do.

No_Limit3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

Not surprising as all as the first poster also approved the article.

Oh, we've got plenty to do. Or play, I should say. But we can't play games ALL the time. So we take a break and come here.

JBSleek3888d ago

I really do admire when Sony fans are always the first to comment on an Xbox One game especially one they have never played.

Some insecurities huh?

Spoons3888d ago

Funny, they care a lot more about the One than even the console they are buying.

PraxxtorCruel3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

Damn! Talk about being a hurt over a comment like that. Who's going to buy a game where the guy behind it feels it's no good. Imagine that? The creative director talking bad about his own game? Besides he has every right to boast, the last 4 Forza games have all been a great hit amongst fans.

Bundi3888d ago

Insecure much? Did anyone but you even mention polyphony? People aren't allowed to speak confidently about their games now without some insecure fanboy crying foul?

Just rename yourself to all Sony please.

strifeblade3888d ago

You do know gran turismo 6 is going on ps3 right? you do know the first gran turismo game you will see is gran turismo 6 port on the ps4 a year later. You know in forza 5 not one car is ported from the 360 version while both gt5 and gt6 sport a full roster of upscaled car models from the ps2. Lazy much>? Look at the meta rating both forza 3 and forza 4- both arguable better than gt scored much higher than gt5. To the tune of 91 and 93 vs 85. You do the math. Do you even think for one second gt6 on ps3 can match forza 5 on x1.

JackStraw3887d ago

let the guy have his opinion. my goodness.

Belking3887d ago

"Polyphony Digital has been at this game way longer"

And it takes them way longer too..lol I love how you bring this up in a forza thread. I'm sure the mods will let this slide. Then again you could be one of them...lol

I hate Dan G. he talks all kinds of mad shit about Polyphony and the GT franchise. Shows signs of insecurity about your product, mean while Kazunori Yamauchi stays classy

Sayai jin3888d ago

I am not one for trash talking either, but he did not trash talk Poly in the article.

testerg353888d ago

Isn't Sony starting to smack talk a bit now?

JBSleek3888d ago

Sony has been taking jabs as MS does that show insecurity? No it's all about competition.

pete0073888d ago

yeah, there was alot classy on gt5s rele the appollogises from him for the unfinished product he has thrown at us, and yes i bought gt5 and it sucked big time, you all know it. i shit on PD

This will be one of the first true next gen experiences.

cell9893888d ago

"true next gen" experiences wont happen till a year from now, when devs start getting the hang of the new hardware, right now its a new playground for all devs, no such thing as true nex gen just yet

Abriael3888d ago

The new hardware is a PC with very little differences, on both sides.

They're all pretty used to that.

DaGR8JIBRALTAR3888d ago

Exactly...give em a full year or two and we'll start seeing some truly mind-blowing games. These launch titles are just scratching the surface

JackStraw3887d ago

"the new hardware is a pc"

i don't know whether to laugh or cry. show me a pc with architecture like either of the new consoles.

just... stop.

thetruthx13888d ago

It's going to be very difficult for any racer to top Forza with the photo realism and added immersion from the rumble triggers in the xbox one controller.

The 3 coats of paint on each car adding to the realism makes this the most impressive graphics wise and it's a simulation racing game

Sayai jin3888d ago

I expect this game to be top notch. Since you mentioned other racers...the next GT will be top tier also.

DigitalRaptor3888d ago

The game looks pretty tight, but what kind of driving enthusiast is getting immersion from rumble triggers rather than a racing wheel?

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.

bluefox7551729d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1729d 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.

IRetrouk1729d 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.
