Gamespot reports: On the heels of Forza Horizon 2's release and as we look ahead to the inevitable Forza Motorsport 6, Turn 10 Studios creative director Dan Greenawalt is optimistic about the future of the racing genre overall. "I believe we've only scratched the surface of what is possible in the genre," Greenawalt tells me as part of a wide-ranging interview about the state of the Forza racing brand.

Would love to see a PC port of this game Forza 3 and 4 are just gorgeous on XBOX but Jaw dropping on PC.
not like DC does. they were 10 yrs ahead of their time.

but FH2 was pretty good as well.
* I've still yet to beat the game and haven't bought FH3 or FH4 because I still have stuff to do in FH2....I just haven't played in a while. It's an awesome game and yes it still is just as good now as when it originally released.
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.
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.
Jacob writes: "Following on from my list of insanely difficult achievements, it’s time to shine the spotlight on another type of hellish achievement. The dreaded grind. These are the awards that will take you hundreds of hours at the absolute minimum, and often involve repeating menial tasks over and over. It’s safe to say that these were definitely not made with the casual gamer in mind. Only the most committed will ever see these pop."
Once again hats off to PG/turn 10 for crafting such a masterpiece!!! I can't recommend it enough... Game on!
Sounds about right. The guys over at T10 and Playground are pretty passionate about cars. Dan must be pretty proud.
The racing genre is stagnating in my opinion, the obsession with licensed cars and realism is sucking out all the fun and creativity we used to see.
We used to have games such as F-Zero, Wipeout and Burnout all offering unique and most importantly fun experiences. Now games like that have all but died as we're left with all these games that give us the exact same cars and the exact same tracks, with the only major difference being the name printed on the disc.
Hopefully one day we see someone with creativity and an eye for fun reinvigorate the genre. For now I'm just bored senseless of all these games that start you off in the exact same slow, boring cars and identical singleplayer modes. I miss when racing games were fun, rather than digital car museums.
