One of these days these elbows are gonna walk all over you

Theoretically, if I decided that I'm going to forego an Xbone in favor of a gaming PC would it be unrealistic that a racing game of Forza 5's quality would show up in the semi-near future? I want to finally build a little racing set up which is quite an investment. Forza 5 is a launch title which means I should be able to get years of entertainment out of it, but what about in five years? I haven't heard great things about the wheel options for the Xbone. Are the wheel options for PC any better? The same?
There's a little game called pCARS it looks beautiful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6X2Q6xFSF4

It hasn't come out yet, but they're in closed alpha right now but they're updating the physics every week and it's getting better and better.

The wheel options for PC are amazing and almost unlimited, but if you want to race for a long time and with lots of different cars then yes, switching to PC is a completely valid option.

The wheel options for PC are gigantic. You have a lot to choose from. And Project CARS is the racing sim to get right now. It easily matches Forza 5.

I wouldn't say it matches Forza 5. pCARS definitely will be a great sim, but it will never have the sheer number of cars that Forza does. Unless they continue courting manufacturers I suppose. It just seems like in the time period they want to release this game in, it's not possible to have a broad selection anywhere near the size that console games can get. I think CARS is going to end up being more like iRacing in that it will be more spec racing. Whereas Forza is a "pick a car you like and build it up" kind of game.

I meant for graphics, but yeah Forza 5 still does a lot that Project CARS will never be able to do. Some of the features in FM5 are things only Polyphony Digital would be able to match if they wanted to, given another 10 years to do it. :v:

Amazon is offering a Day 1 XBone + free Forza 5 bundle online in Europe.

My finger is hovering over the pre-order button and I'm not sure what to do :negative:

Edit: That deal is in all stores across Europe actually. You get a choice of Forza or FIFA 14 with a Day 1 Edition.

Kick rear end!

This month's Monthly Rivals events really suck :/

e: How to drive a Sesto Elemento in the Drag and Autocross events. Because some people don't know how :milk:

1: Buy a Sesto Elemento :20bux: x a lot :homebrew:
2: Put a RWD Conversion on it. :wth:
3: MORE POWER! :madmax: I added Race Intake, Race Exhaust, Race Pistons

That's it. I know the events say STOCK ONLY but for some reason it will still let you pick the car. It should show up as R3 740 in your garage, but on the leaderboard it will show as R3 741.

For those without a lot of credits, I've put one in the AUGR Garage.

There isn't any guarantee that Forza 5 will have as many cars as 4 does. They'd either have to redo every car in F4, drop a bunch or just import them directly without changes, a la GT5. Given that some cars in Forza 4 look like dogshit due to not being updated since Forza 2 (the 22b is a prime example) and how Turn 10 has said that a lot of things were cut due to time restraints to make F5 a launch title, I'd say that there is a really good chance that there will be a good number of cars dropped.

Every car they've scanned since 3 has had detail removed from the original model to put in the game. You can tell from Autovista in 4. The cars in there are much higher quality than what is in the game. I don''t know if all cars were scanned to that detail (as in, modeling every surface) but they were all recorded in great detail and then toned down. So anything that's been newly designed for 4 is able to be made in higher quality for 5.

Jun 22, 2004

Yeah i'm not expecting FM5 to be able to match the car list in FM4. That car list is pretty incredible and easily beats any car list of any other racing game out there. FM6 will probably have a better car list.

Remember, for FM5, every car is in Autovista. So we know for a fact there are no low quality models in that game.

Yes, they are not big on releasing a flood of information and screenshots. Polyphony Digital on the other hand goes overboard with screenshots that misrepresent their games. I wish a game dev could find a good balance. :negative:

Is there still an active inviter for AUGR? I'm messing around a bit in FM4 while waiting for FM5/GT6 and wouldn't mind getting into a few races again in the meantime. I just finally dropped LLJK today. It felt wrong. :911:

Also, has there been any word as to if the Kinect will be required for anything in FM5?

I'm pretty sure the 24 player online isnt true. I think Dan Greenawalt said 16 players at E3. If it did turn out to be true though that would be really awesome.

They only ever said they're "still figuring that out" or what have you. They never confirmed a number.

We could finally have a proper F1 grid. And we'd be half way to a NASCAR grid, so ovals will start getting more interesting; we'll have enough cars to start having packs.

Buying an ST is what got me playing this again. Kind of a waste since I already had max Ford affinity, but whatever. It's kind of weird how the ST in Horizon is a completely different car though, unless I was looking at different year groups.

As for the Forza rewards system, would it be possible to get one of you guys to buy whatever it takes to get the storefront achievement in Forza 3 for me? I'm not really talanted enough to make something worth legitimately buying in a game that's still popular, let alone a mostly abandonned one :(

Realy wish they would remodel my car (sw20 mr2), the interior is spot on but the exterior looks so bad. Also maybe this time they can use a hardtop instead of the creaky less rigid t-bar version.

It was a bit annoying that they left out the toms version in fm4 because that version was much better model wise.

Edit: maybe i shouldnt have bothered with the forza rewards thing, i'm now just doubling up on unicorns
