Forza 5 - Bathurst!

No, I meant old Holdens and the old Falcon.

I can understand their thought process, but like I said before Forza has nothing to offer me anymore. Maybe somewhere down the line they'll release a Forza with all these updated graphics that includes my favorite cars and tracks, and maybe something more than we had from Forza 4 like weather and night racing. At this point they're basically telling me, "Look, we need to have this out as a launch title for the One, so could you just pick it up and buy some day one Ferarri DLC while we try to transfer everything from the game you've been playing for 2 years."

Forza had nothing to offer me since they announced my Fanatec wheel wouldn't work on the XB1. To be honest, I'm sorta relieved I have more reasons to not buy FM5 now... Sorry guys.

On the bright side we will still be touge racing on FM4 and hopefully maybe GT6 too.

Car List incoming:

Spoiler:

No 1st or 2nd gen RX-7, no 240z. I didn't think I could get more disappointed.

Subject: Re: Forza 5 - Bathurst! Wed Nov 06, 2013 6:40 pm

No Mazdaspeed RX-8, no Gen 2 MX-5, no JDM DC2, no EG6, no Altezza, no AW11, no MR-S, no S13, no S14, not even the R34!!?? They even took out the Acura NSXs...

The only "tuner" cars that were added were the Subaru BRZ and S2000 CR

I guess we can only hope that the next Forza will include all the content from Forza 4 with the updated models and physics. Polyphony and T10 are definitely taking completely opposite paths in the quality > quantity department.

Subject: Re: Forza 5 - Bathurst! Wed Nov 06, 2013 7:07 pm

The lack of quality in GT5 made me mad but I don't even car anymore as long as FM4 exists.

See you all Dec 6th lol.

I doubt that's the entire list, considering there are well over 400 cars in FM4 there should be the equivalent, if not more in FM5

Subject: Re: Forza 5 - Bathurst! Wed Nov 06, 2013 8:23 pm

It's the full list, not counting the 60 paid DLC cars that will be released over time. I think it's awesome that they included Lauda and Hunt's famous race cars at least.

That was unexpected and very disappointing...

Subject: Re: Forza 5 - Bathurst! Wed Nov 06, 2013 8:35 pm

It's like the nail in the coffin, how can we be Touge Union on FM5 without any touge? We can't even drive Nurburgring and pretend we're on a touge anymore.

Subject: Re: Forza 5 - Bathurst! Wed Nov 06, 2013 8:35 pm

Is Fujimi not in FM5?

Unless that's an official source I don't quite believe it. T10 has only confirmed 7 tracks so far, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

You know why they call it the Xbox 360? Because you turn 180 degrees, look at the Xbox One, then turn 180 degrees again and go back to playing FM4.

So they got rid of Fujimi Kaido because their fictional track had "imperfections."
Maybe they just don't like the Japanese anymore, they don't even have circuits there anymore.

Subject: Re: Forza 5 - Bathurst! Thu Nov 07, 2013 1:29 am

It's not that they got "rid" of them but more like they didn't prioritize getting them "back in" since all the tracks had to be redone and not just updated or smoothed out like before. I gotta say though, Nurburgring should have been #1 on their list and they skipped it completely, I can already see a $10-$20 DLC for it in the future. Rolling Eyes

FM5 might have twice the quality but to me it's only half the game compared to FM4. Only a stepforward technologically with the XB1, but two steps backwards everywhere else. We'll see what Gran Turismo 6 has in store. If it's only an improved version of GT5, that might be enough for me.

Subject: Re: Forza 5 - Bathurst! Thu Nov 07, 2013 1:34 am

It's probably because they insisted on a day one release date to coincide with the One. Combined with the massive undertaking of completely reconstructing every car from the ground up, they had to cut all the content that's not high on their list of priorities. As for the tracks they probably didn't want to re-scan any of the circuits in Japan because it would cost too much time and money, same for rebuilding niche tracks like Fujimi Kaido which until the last year, was pretty much reserved for drift lobbies.
