Forza Motorsport 5



  Hondata'd EP3 Type R
IF Ive started a championship, and say Im 2 races into 10, anyway of coming out of it.

My Modded R34 probably isn;t as competitive as I had hoped against Bugatti's ;)
 
Played this last night at my mates.

Graphics are very nice, everything looks much sharper and deeper, something to be expected of 1080p though.

Flames out of the exhausts every gear change in certain cars looked very cheap.

The cars handle very well, understeer builds nicely and LOOS is great fun in the DC2. Very easy to get simmed though, I noticed it a lot, not sure if the sensitivity is out on the controller, but it felt like large inputs were needed to make certain turns, maybe just different at opposed to worse.

Trigger feedback is cool, very easy to lock up until you get used to the car too, which is decent.

AI is far better than the last, but still a long way from sorted. Braking in bizarre places for no reason whatsoever makes it very hard to follow them closely as you can end up in the back of them very easily.

Good game though, with more tracks and a few more cars it'll be decent.

ARGGGHHHH, so bloody true.

This is being really buggy for me today.

on the starting line the wheel is turned all the way to the left, as soon as you start it straightens up.
the gear change sound has been out a few times like it used to do in fm3 (change up a gear but the sound is still playing at max revs in previous gear)
windscreen cracking for no apparent reason
a lap or so later if you use the rewind function the cracked windscreen miraculously fixes itself
out in front all alone and the sound of another car is being played as if it's right next to me

all the above has happened today over the last 5 or so races I've just done.

Excuse me, what?? ;)

I know. Christopher slammed his breaks on when we had already come out of a corner and I went straight into the back of his VW bug. :(

What class racing do you lads race. I've got into a bit of B class racing in my evo 8, it's not the best at top end but brilliant on the corners.

A quick question, can you adjust the throttle sensitivity on the trigger on forza??
Flew through the first classes but now onto v8 RWD cars am really struggling to control throttle, it's like 3mm movement on trigger and it's WOT! Bad heeed

I haven't seen anything myself when I was looking for vibration setting.

It's so hard to get used to. It should be 50% trigger 50% throttle... Likewise for brakes!
instead it's 10% trigger 100% throttle/brake.

dont want to have to keep TC and ABS ....

Will have to do some google searches I couldn't find how to do it on game, thought it would be one of the first settings to change.

Pity the bulk of that is historic content that they've held back from a "full" game that's already short on both cars and tracks. Forza 5 prologue.

Is that a typo? Looks like a good car pack tbh, thought the Clio would have made an appearance though.

That caterham will be a handful without assists or is it just coz I'm crap! Had a go with the xbow r and got 1 gold out of 5 races (drivatar +20%)

I was close to getting an XBONE for this and I'm so glad that I didn't. Stunning visuals isn't enough to warrant spending £500!

More than stunning visuals tho m8. The lack of tracks is a shame but the handling with everything off and sim steering is a world away from fm4 IMO. You go out in a 800bhp supra and you will be spinning all over the place if you aren't 100% focused and when you get it right it's very satisfying....

Have the drivatars been updated as I no longer getting them smacking me in the arse every bend, hadn't played it sinse before xmas and all of a sudden it seems easier and less of a bump fest and more actual racing

I think it is a case of as people in general get better on the game then their drivatars in turn improve as well
