Are there any videos of Spa out? Turn 10 announced it, but have they shown it?

And here's a car I can't wait to drive in Forza 5:

Turn 10 wants players to be able to immerse themselves within a family of cars, then jump to whatever strikes their fancy once that event is complete. You can bounce from demanding supercars to sensible coupes right back up to hulking American muscle--the order doesn't matter.

well sounds like they've ruined the "career" mode, seriously how hard is it to give you a sense of progression, maybe start as privateer and then join a team or build your own. They seem to have gone in the exact opposite direction i was hoping and practically abandoned the idea that you're actually a racing driver who has to work his way up the ladder.

looks kind of sterile and boring, especially after watching NFS Rivals running on Frostbite 3, also why show a track that people have done like a gazillion laps around in previous Forza Motorsport games? also i'd like to actually see through the back of the car with the centre mirror rather than just a completely clear view because it just looks weird.Ā

[QUOTE="marklarmer"]

]Yeah it may have always been good inĀ thatĀ respect, but the series has reached a point now whereĀ it needs to evolve, practically every critic is saying exactly that. They also need to move away from the stupid 2 year dev cycle because each iteration is just becoming a greater example of wasted potential,Ā and with a team of like 400 there's no excuse.Ā 

If i were in charge of the next Forza i would be screaming at them to add a whole load of things from helmet/overall/pit crew customization, team/driver management with logo design/sponsorship, proper race strategys with multiple tyre compounds/fuel loads, more real race series/tracks, a better sense of career progression, weather/day/night and different track surfaces.

Adding a few more cars and tracks just doesn't cut it, especially when there are so many racing games out there doing so much more, even if they're not doing them all that well, at least they're trying to evolve.

I agree it needs to evolve. Im just saying that day-night cycle isnt the main thing that defines good racing game ;)

I guess I just don't understand this obession with night/day cycles? I am a huge racing fan, and I couldn't care less about night/day cycles. These races at most only last 10-20 minutes... so why does day need to change into night while driving.

i agree that it's not some OMG feature and really only has an impact in 24 hour/long races, but it still shows willingness to improve the visuals/lighting and level of realism, different weather would have more of an impact on that front and in terms of gameplay. I mean they even gave the excuse they didn't want to sacrifice the 60fps by including weather last gen, i don't see how they can still have that excuse now. It's just the kind of laziness that's causing the series to stagnate, and i don't see how these things are unreasonable to request when there are plenty of other games doing them.Ā

While i agree that day-night cycle and weather adds alot, it wont do much if the games drives poor. The most important thing in drving game is...driving. And Forza always was one of the finest console games in that aspect.Magik85

Forza 3 and 4 pissed all over Gran flopismo 5, and now Cows are trying to get a cookie, by telling everyone how superior DC is, yet it is a totally different direction game.

Fail more.

I wouldn't expect Forza Motorsport 5 to score as high as the previous ones if i were you, most critics gave them an ultimatum with FM4 that unless they added major things like weather and day/night the series would not continue to be held in such high regard, they seem to have completely ignored that, and will pay the price when most of the reviews are sub-80%. I wouldn't be surprised to see both DriveClub and GT6 outscore it.

As someone just said some of that gameplay is exactly the same gameplay that they showed for the PS4 version, with exactly the same voiceover, seems like all they've done is replace the HUD with Xbone controller promptsĀ :? Seems like an odd thing to do.

Yeah more like "most significant" because of the ridiculous price it's added to the consoleĀ :|
