This.

I'm interested to hear this as well. Just list the actual tracks though not counting every variation as a separate 'track', that is such an annoying trait.

Still on the fence re which system to plump for but as G.Man said, seems £430 is a lot to pay for Forza 4.5.

Mod74

But that's the thing with racing games in the same franchise. They're only incremental updates, even across a new platform.

I loved F2 and 3 to pieces but I didn't play much of 4. I think I'm ready now for some realistic street/circuit based action.

I didn't even bother buying F4. Just looked exactly the same as F3.
The only thing that would make me actively seek out another Forza or GT game would be a quantum leap in the graphics dept on next-gen hardware, and this just doesn't appear to have that.

curious to see it in the flesh tho

FM4 actually looks and plays much better than FM3. Much more refined physics/handling model for starters (so long as you avoided the majority of the assists).

I'll "share" a video on the 22nd so you can have a look gman.

without variations it has 11 tracks confirmed.
of course it will have variations and there must be more tracks unconfirmed.

I'd have agreed with that (what G said), until the moment I saw the Euro Truck 2 vid that Chump posted in the Oculus thread...

That game looks proper bo'.

Forza would look shitloads better...

Graphically it doesn't look anything near like what I'd consider to be next-gen. In fact it I was shown it unlabelled, I'd be inclined to think that was a current-gen title. very underwhelming g.man

its gt5 with less skylines and tracks.

i retract this actually.
forza5 dosnt have a day/night cycle or changeable weather.

Wot? Nissan's Skyline, or mother nature's?

If racing is your thing then there is no choice to be made re: which system. Forza 5 is exclusive to Xbox One, Drive Club is cancelled and NFS is multiplatform.

I'm afraid if anybody is in the market for a racer on next gen at launch it is a no-brainer.

Is it just the number or are there any details beyond Prague, Spa, Nurburgring, Silverstone and the Top Gear test track?

Looks rubbish.

GooberTheHat

Looks like the best Forza yet. Make of that what you want.

Lord_Griff

Rubbish?

drive club isnt cancelled its been pushed back.

If SIM racing is your thing and you want to spend £430 just to play Forza, get an Xbone. But that would be insane, no game is worth that.

Mod74

With the best will in the world DriveClub isn't going to be the same type of racer as Forza is. For that you'll have to wait for GT7. Seems like Need For Speed aren't going to be revisiting the SHIFT sub brand any time soon.

I_R

The guys that did Shift were supposed to be doing something multi-format, but that's gone quiet.

[Deleted User]

I still haven't played ANY NFS game this gen! Driveclub is gonna be similiar to PGR isn't it i.e. none of that tuning bollocks, just racing?

Oh, ermm, yeah! That was that crowd funded thing wasn't it?

From what we know, it seems that way yeah. Even if it had tuning I seriously doubt it's getting the same autistic attention to physics detail.

Project CARS. Will probably be amazing on the PC, but the crowd sourced approach is likely to be slow and PC focussed.

^looks like a PS2 game sadly.

It's been cancelled from launch day.

I don't know if there's any PC sim racers that look absolutely amazing at the moment, despite their obvious tech advantage over 7/8 year old consoles. Realism is a bugger to do I suppose and expensive.
