Top-notch quality on those cars. That R18 would benefit from a 24-hour endurance race at Le Mans with a day/night cycle.

^^^^ WOW

And look at that tire flex on the 300SL!

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Damnit. Want level: increasing.

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in...

 

[King1982]

The scenery and lighting are incredible.

 

[BoneSawTX]

Think i need a new pair of pants after looking at the e-tron.

Man laguna Seca looks prettier than ever. In interior lighting is freaking slick.

 

[HAL20XX]

The audio sounds amazing!

I know what you mean mate.

Hopefully there will be some price competition for the new consoles or lack of demand after the initial high sales or Kinect-less SKU.

PS3 launched at £429 here (like the Xbox One is) but 6 months later were around £300 with 2-3 games and an extra controller.

glad to hear it. I really think the improvements to the audio systems will show what next-Gen can be at least as much as the improvement in visuals.

Dammit, I know I'm going to be pre-ordering the Limited Edition & just holding onto it until I actually pick up a Xbox One. But now that may come sooner than later. Laguna just looks stunning.

 

[chromatic9]

F12 looks great in the autovista type menu.

Photomode will be pretty crazy

 

[BobbyBRAKEaNek]

Looks like I might have to get an Xbox 1 to go with the PS4. Forza is looking great.

 

[zr1chris]

Why exactly did i preorder the ps4 instead of the xb1? This decision is such a tough one.

Bonus for getting a Xbox instead is you get to race against me...Ive gotten a little better since our last races

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

My god that R18 e-Tron is amazing, I don't want an XB1 but...damn you T10, you've made it harder on me.

 

[IceMan PJN]

Why exactly did i preorder the ps4 instead of the xb1? This decision is such a tough one.

When we started getting specifics about the new consoles, a co-worker commented that it was stupid to pay $100 more for a One if both consoles play the same multiplatform titles. That would make a good argument if all I wanted was third-party cross-platform stuff..., but that isn't all I want. Forza is huge for me, with me having spent probably a thousand hours or more with the series on 360, so One would surely be worth it to me for this single franchise, but I also get to play multiplatform releases, too.

[hennessey86]

tell me about it chris, I genuinely don't no which one to get, I would pre order an xbox one tomorrow if they would confirm fanatic wheel compatability.

While it's a little hard to tell, the sound does seem to be better. In the Mercedes video posted by Gamersyde, I think the shifting effects are different. The loss of revs between shifts are more pronounced compared to FM4. I could be wrong though.
Chippy, can you clarify on this?
Has the shifting effects been enhanced?

 

[MXH]

Turn10 is really hitting my soft spots. Looks fantastic.

 

[GroupB]

Check out the 300SL hubcaps changing color to match the body--looks like the game engine has finally been updated in that regard.

 

[shawtyoner]

Corkscrew seems to have been addressed finally! And the new lighting at Laguna is perfect!

Also, the sound, holy S***!

 

[Chippy569]

Which clip are you guys watching regarding the sound comments? YouTube link?

[edit] nvm found it http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_forza_motorsport_5_off_screen_gameplay-30588_en.html

Here's another one:

Can't help but notice how the trees outside still look flat, basic and somewhat crappy. Hmmm.....

FM4



FM5

The new Laguna looks fantastic. But I don't believe the new lighting model is as responsible for it as the time of day; notice how in FM5 it looks like late afternoon, or the brink of a bright early evening. The shadows and super-dark grey on the track says so. The hue in the skyline is a good indicator as well.
Laguna in FM4 is quite bright, but then again, the sun's clearly visible, and it's probably between midday and the afternoon.

 

[Speedster911]

^^ But I absolutely LOVE the new Laguna look. I hope we get an option to select time of day for ALL tracks!
