PAX Prime 2013: Forza 5 Hands On [ThriftyNerd]

Nick Bristow of ThriftyNerd.com says, "The game is simply gorgeous, filled with amazing detail in every aspect of every car. Stitching and bumps in carbon fiber can be seen all over the super cars. While these cars have more polygons than ever before, that means little when traveling at a 100 mph through a bend. The worlds are more alive in Forza 5. Looking off in the distance, you can see activity everywhere. Little touches such as a helicopter flying around in what appears to be a fully rendered city in the distance."

Whether people like it or not, Forza is now the number 1 racer on the market.
Turn10 is very efficient with developing their franchise.

GT5 alone sold over 10mil how is Forza number 1 again?

PraxxtorCruel3890d ago

GT5 sold well but I've got this inkling that GT6 will struggle to reach 10 million. There seems to be a lot of disappointment already.

dantesparda3890d ago (Edited 3890d ago )

"how is Forza number 1 again?"

Because he and all his ms fanboy bretherens said so, that's how it works with fanboys, didnt you know?

and at Praxxtor

Forza 5 would be happy to get whatever numbers GT6 sells, but they wont, they wont even come near it. Forza 5 is very low on the preorder list, meaning that except for you diehard ms fanboys, most people dont really want/care for it

@ Foxgod

Lmao! You're adorable with ur delusions. You should take something for that though.

The Captain3890d ago

Need for Speed sells more....

HammadTheBeast3890d ago

I disagree, Gran Turismo, Need for Speed, and others sell more, and are more popular.

Let's be honest. DriveClub isn't competing with Forza. It's not meant to, that would be like Motorstorm with Forza.

Gran Turismo 6 or 7 or whatever on PS4. Now that will be worthy competition against Forza.

But let's not kid ourselves.

Gran Turismo 5 PROLOGUE sold more than Forza.

Can't wait for Forza 5, cars look nice and shiny.

malokevi3890d ago

I'm getting Forza day 1 because it showcases next gen technology better than any other launch game. I'm getting 'the crew' because it looks like a blast to play, and is still really nice to look at.

dantesparda3890d ago (Edited 3890d ago )

"because it showcases next gen technology better than any other launch game"

On the X1, right? You wasnt including PS4 in that statement was you?

malokevi3890d ago

I can't think of any ps4 games that look as good as Forza. Maybe Killzone... but not quite there.

If you have a suggestion I'll take it under advisement?

windblowsagain3890d ago

Quick Question.

What Nextgen Technology does it showcase? And please do not say cloud, because you will loose any cred.

I do know a game showcasing next gen graphics, tracks, DRIVECLUB.

malokevi3890d ago

Ummm... processing power? Lol...

Driveclub vs. Forza. I'm getting both... you must be high.

Forza is a decent racer but it sits behind GT, Mario Kart and NFS in both sales and overall success. Fox you gotta come out of MS's butt sometimes to breathe and see there is a bigger world out there.

Foxgod3890d ago

So all of a sudden sales are a valid argument?

malokevi3890d ago

Lol, yeah, funny how that flips whenever its convenient.

That being the case, kinect 1 is the best peripheral that has ever existed!

dantesparda3890d ago (Edited 3890d ago )

What's even funnier is how now it suddenly doesnt matter to the MS fanboys. Yeah it is funny how it flips whenever its convenient. Stop being hypocrits! Both sides do this, as a matter of fact all fanboys do this. You's are a;; a bunch of hypocritical flip flopping phony @zz you-know-whats.

and p.s. kinect sold around 25 million with a 500 billion dollar marketing push. Move sold around 14 million with minimal advertising. So Kinect is not that impressive. Also really, kinect?! you like that sh!t?

Foxgod3890d ago

oh it still matters to me, but i dont accept hypocritical arguments.

malokevi3890d ago

500 billion?

Ahahahaha. Are ppl like you allowed to use the word "fanboy"?

I'm not sure if I will be getting Forza. It still seems like it doesn't know what it wants to be. Drive Club for now and play wait and see for Forza. It is very pretty.

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.

bluefox7551738d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1738d 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.

IRetrouk1738d 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.

lxeasy2429d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2429d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2429d ago (Edited 2429d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2428d 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.

TheSaint2428d ago

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

EazyC2429d ago

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

senorfartcushion2429d ago

Ps propagandist article and post.

Keep it neutral, fanboy.

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