The reveal looks pretty epic though, especially the course they're driving on. And the Road America commentary.

God, I hope that's in-game but I've yet to see any current PC games look that good.

by Standaman94 Tue 21 May 2013 - 21:30

It looks in-game, you can see some rough polys around the edge, like the sticky out orange bits on the front wings

Coinciding with today's reveal of Forza Motorsport 5 for Xbox One, we've partnered with McLaren Automotive to give one lucky Forza fan the opportunity of a lifetime -- a dream ride in the Forza Motorsport 5 cover car, the McLaren P1™.

They had lights in the E3 forza 3 trailer...

Is that Prague?

Looks like the Charles Bridge and the River Vltava in that first image.

by F4H bandicoot Tue 21 May 2013 - 22:22

Yeah its not been confirmed or anything but a lot of it looks like Prague

Actually, it is Prague. All the geography fits with google maps!

Looks like a fantasy circuit in a park in northern Prague. I've walked along that exact part of Prague before. Quite intoxicated however..

gorgeous renders lets see what we can find out Wink

by LMR Zakspeed Tue 21 May 2013 - 22:52

Does that Prague street circuit remind anyone of the Milan ciruit in Grid 1?

by Standaman94 Tue 21 May 2013 - 22:56

^ Exactly what I was thinking

by CreamyTastey Tue 21 May 2013 - 23:00

It looks from the announcment trailer that it is like an updated Version of Race Driver Grid

That's a significant downgrade then

by **Richy59** Tue 21 May 2013 - 23:40

We were saying it looks like Vienna in Grid, or Rome in GT5.

I was in Prague last month and I didn't pick up on that, good spot. Interesting choice of places to put a city track.

Also, the lights in the FM3 E3 trailer were on the real Audi R8 - or extremely well rendered one - for about 10 seconds and wasn't shown in the rest of the silly rendered footage or in the gameplay trailer. This one has lighs on all the time, and it's during the day and not at night like Horizon.

by nickyf1 Tue 21 May 2013 - 23:44

Actually, on watching the trailer again in high-definition, it might not be as 'CGI' as I had thought at first.

It's definitely had some treatment, but there's probably some real gameplay under there somewhere. The track is definitely quite a large circuit around Prague, with the route heading through the Old Town and over the river into the Holesovice part of the city, then onto a fantasy bit of road overlooking the river. Very cool!

There we are then! I'm very impressed.

Now, if Turn 10 can get their act together in the track department, and recreate the Nurburgring PROPERLY, to the standard of which it is represented in Gran Turismo, then I'll be a very happy bunny.

by Guest Tue 21 May 2013 - 23:55

I think they're telling the truth with this, the smoke doesn't look quite right for pre-rendered, so I believe this is real 'replay' footage from the game engine, probably running at 30fps to increase the graphical quality, just like Forza 4 does with replays. So in game, at 60fps they're probably dial back the detail a bit. Remember the actual hardware in the console is good enough to run something like Project CARS at 1080p full detail resolution, so those scarcely-believeable Project CARS trailer graphics will be possible on Xbox ONE too, so don't be surprised if Forza 5 looks jaw-droppingly good. And the games will only get better as we get into the console life-cycle - look how dated early 2006/2007 Xbox 360 games look compared to the stunning Forza 4, Halo 4, Crysis 3 from 2012/13 - it's still the same hardware, just getting the maximum out of it now.

by FSR Groves Tue 21 May 2013 - 23:56

I for one, having no money, wont be getting a new xbox until a long time after its release, so i'll be doing a majority of my racing on project CARS, which still looks like it could be better than forza!

by Guest Wed 22 May 2013 - 0:00

Project CARS has been delayed until Spring 2014, but good news is they are considering an Xbox One version if there is sufficient demand and funding...

Forza 5 in Nov/Dec and Project CARS sometime in 2014 anyone?

by FSR Groves Wed 22 May 2013 - 0:01

eurgh, well as long as there is still a 360 version...

i dont want to be abandoned cause i cant afford it! :L
