[XB1] Forza Motorsport 5

I'm sorry, am I a bad person for liking this series?

I never said you were. It just seems like a lot of bullshit to put up with to play one game.

I don't really HAVE to put up with anything outside of putting the game in and playing it. :dunno:

I think your original post made them sound like they were gestapo/Nazis, so I could see why he might think it was an insult.

I see what you guys mean. That typo I made does make one hell of a difference in the thought I was trying to convey. I was calling M$ and their console gestapo-like, not Swarley and JMS.

Shame I won't be able to enjoy it.

So I was at the vintage game store today to blow some money on old games that I don't need, and I came across the original Forza Motorsport for the OG Xbox for $5. Of course I bought it (I'd never played it during that console-gen and got into the series with FM2).

I fire it up, and the first series I run has the tracks Silverstone, Maple Valley and Alpine Ring. Holy crap, Alpine Ring is a fantastic fictional track. Crazy to think that this is the only game it appeared in. It's much better than most of the fictional tracks in the game now. I REALLY hope it makes a comeback.

(This guy blows, but it was one of the better quality videos)

EDIT: And damn, Blue Mountains Raceway (reminds me of Bathurst) and the Rio de Janeiro street circuit are damn good tracks as well. I can't imagine why these tracks got cut in favor of crap like Sedona, Ladera, Burnese Alps and Camino Viejo. :smh:

forza 4 ran at 720 and 60fps right?

 

[Price]

Pretty sure it did. No weather or night was because they wanted to stay at 60 FPS.

Correct. Horizon, however, was 30 fps.
