I have probably played about six hours of forza 5. It's really really good in a lot of ways. It also has it's flaws. At this point I'd be buying an xbone exclusively for that game, and truth be told the game isn't worth 500 bucks for the system plus 60 bucks for the game. I also want a fanatec wheel for my pc and ps3, while M$ have deliberately made the fanatec wheel incompatible with their new system (the wheel I want is actually forza branded and was designed for forza 4.)

I'd probably pay 250 dollars for the experience of fiveza but 560 is too much. My plan is to give it a couple of years, there will hopefully be a new wheel out, the xbone will maybe be a hundred bucks cheaper, and sixza will address the lack of content that fiveza has.

Yeah I'm kinda in the same chair as you. Feels kinda unnecessary to buy a new console for just one game. But as you say, when the price drops a bit, I'll probably buy it.

Watching the scoop is hypnotic.

Someone should make a GIF of it or something.

Sucks though because hands down, I think fiveza has the best physics of any console racer ever.

From this video it looks like Forza 5 still has the same problems from 1-4. #1 Bad A.I. - yes the driver of the trans am took a bad line on on turn 5, after the esses, but the car behind should have been cautious of the idiot driver in front of him and given space or been more intentional in the bump and spun him. #2 non competitive racing - halfway through the first lap the race is over.

I agree...to a point. It's not so much the AI that's horrible though. It's called Drivatar. It takes account of how you drive over all your races and then implements it to the AI to drive as you averagely do when against other opponents. In short, you're racing against real people while they are not online. I hope that made sense. If not, just ask.

As for the non-competitiveness, it's true, if you have your settings changed to easy. Put it to hard and you are really struggling to keep your position, much less gain position. Add the simulation effects to damage and when you hit someone, you mess up the way your car drives Hit them hard enough and you can really screw up camber or aero or suspension. Fiveza is really only as competitive as you make it.
