Welp, I met two of my goals today. Finally got all manufacturer affinity levels to at least 10 and I finished the event list and got career mode completion to 100%.

Just glad I got that done before GTA5 comes out.

I can't wait for Gamescom, there badly needs to be a information blow out on Forza 5 already. I really want to know more about the game and see what some of the older tracks look like on the new graphics engine. I wonder if Turn-10 made any changes to the Nurburgring because that's the one that needs the most improvement.

Cojawfee: May 31, 2006; I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius

Did we ever have a Forza 5 thread? The Limited Edition was just announced. No word on if you can get the LE packs if you buy it digitally. I don't want to have to leave my Forza disc in the drive like on 360. THIS IS THE FUTURE.

http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-US/news/FM5_LE_Announce

So McLaren P1 on the cover of the regular one and some dumb Audi on the LE. :/

Edit: There are some really big idiots on facebook. "Why won't this come out on 360? You should release this on 360. You're so stupid for not releasing this on 360." Do they not understand that Forza 4 was already pushing the limits of what a 360 can do?

FM5 LCE, VIP, and Day One Edition details posted: http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-US/news/FM5_LE_Announce

quote:

Limited Edition Car Pack � This five-car pack features new cars that are already destined for legendary status. Each car in the �Forza Motorsport 5� Limited Edition Car Pack will feature a Limited Edition livery and will be tuned to the top of its respective class. The cars in the �Forza Motorsport 5� Limited Edition Car Pack include*:

2011 Audi RS3 Sportback � More than a mere grocery-getter, the RS3 Sportback marries performance with practicality. The result is a 340-horsepower grin-generator that will paste your head to the back of the seat and not crack a single egg in the process.

2012 Aston Martin Vanquish � As comfortable on the track as it is on cozy country lanes, the Aston Martin Vanquish is equal parts refined style and snarling, road-taming grit.

2013 Ford M Shelby Mustang GT500 � While the GT500�s aggressive lines suggest raw power and straight-line speed to spare, the sound of that big 5.8-liter V8 simply screams, �Get out of the way!�

2013 McLaren P1� � The successor to McLaren�s legendary F1, the McLaren P1� is an automotive highlight reel: technological innovation, gorgeous contours, and pure, unapologetic performance. Epic, legendary, astounding � words tend to fail when describing this car�s limitless potential.

2013 SRT Viper GTS � The return of the Viper has been celebrated by automotive fans worldwide. With an 8.4-liter V10 that�s capable of pushing the GTS to a top speed north of 200 mph, the 2013 Viper GTS has once again firmly entrenched its spot near the top of the American Muscle hierarchy.

quote:

VIP Membership � Forza Motorsport 5 VIPs enjoy exclusive benefits, including 2x player reward acceleration, access to exclusive multiplayer events, an exclusive in-game player card badge, and in-game gifts from the Forza community team.** VIPs will also have access to the Forza Motorsport 5 VIP Car Pack, featuring five amazing cars only available to VIP members, including:

1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C � Marketed as �the fastest streetcar in the world,� the 427 S/C is the most desirable of all the Shelby Cobra variants. Out of the 100 that were planned only 53 were built. They are nothing less than a purpose-built race car converted at the last minute for street use.

1987 RUF CTR Yellowbird � Dubbed the �Yellowbird� by journalists during a test drive event, the 1987 RUF CTR Yellowbird earns its name thanks to the canary-like chirping of its twin turbo blow-off valve. Just 29 of these cherished classics were built.

1991 Mazda #55 787B � One of the most beloved race cars of all time, the 787B holds the distinction as being Japan�s only winner of a 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Featuring a brash green and orange livery and an unmistakable screaming Wankel rotary engine, the 787B continues to inspire more than 20 years after its debut.

2011 Ford F150 SVT Raptor � Say hello to your rear view mirror's worst nightmare. The Raptor is essentially a factory-built pre-runner race truck with suspension to match its under-the-hood muscle. Slide it, jump it, whatever you like � it just begs for more.

2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport � Even among hypercars, the Veyron Super Sport stands alone. After all, this is the car that currently holds the Guinness record for �World�s Fastest Car� at speeds approaching 270 mph.

edit: forgot Day One

quote:

Day One Car Pack � This three-car pack features amazing cars from Lamborghini, Audi, and Ford; each with a Day One-themed livery and custom tuning package created by the experts at Turn 10. The Day One Car Pack includes the following cars*:

2010 Audi TT RS Coupe � Stuffed stem to stern with modern tech, the TT RS is the first TT model to carry Audi�s famed RS badge � a distinction that�s earned on the track from the moment you step on the gas.

2013 Ford Focus ST -- Debuting with the same 247-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine from the much larger Ford Explorer SUV, the new Ford Focus ST packs a serious punch.

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera � Like great sculpture, the Superleggera�s chiseled form is carefully considered for maximum impact. That�s where the similarities end, however, because this work of art is best appreciated when it�s moving at top speed.

So basically like Horizon a lot of the good cars aren't in the base game.

So I guess the last thing that has yet to be revealed is whether there will be pre-order bonus cars that will vary by retailer. I was pissed that I ended up not getting the BMW 1M on FM4 because I bought at the wrong retailer. It was released, along with all the other pre-order cars, albeit a year or so after release and I had to pay for it as DLC. I was happy just to have it though.

e: The FM5 LE is not showing up yet on Amazon or Gamestop.

Also, how much racing are you guys doing these days? The only person I see on regularly anymore is Bentron and some of the [PA] guys and the people who race in their league. The hoppers are so bad :cry:

I have almost no time to play anymore and it makes me sad.

Hopefully I will have more time in the near future but no clue. I'm still going to be playing Forza 4 for another 2 years at least, I doubt Gran Turismo 6 will pull me away.

Ever since getting my new PC up and running I'm finding it hard to go back to my 360 and to F4 because I'm relegated to a small 19inch old monitor due to space. I like racing but I don't have a lot of time for it due to work as well.

Maybe I just need to retire. 35 more years to go!

I've said this before but everyone is welcome to race with Club [PA]. We do random dicking around on tuesdays. Thursday of this week and next week are finishing up the current season of our organized league races so after that thursdays will be themed race nights for a while.

The few AUGR guys who still race typically join us.
