do they ship internationally?
at the moment i'll be paying $700 from EB Games for xbone and fm5 which is ridiculous

I think Aussies can get FIFA 14 Free. Not sure about Forza 5, but at the moment no one can get that unles you were lucky enough to preorder within hours of the announcement.

700 aus or usd?

by theboomeranga Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 0:27

700 aus

Shipping will cost you a fortune.

by theboomeranga Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 2:06

well, turns out that if i get it from the internet it'll cost around 500 british pounds, around $853.50aus then i need shipping which'll cost a fortune, where as it'll cost me 700 and no shipping to get it from EB games 5 minutes down the road,
decision made lol

Car leaks? More like car reveals / confirmations happened earlier than August. Forza garage reveals began 15th July for Forza 4 and the game was released 14th October, basically 3 months before the release.

If it were the same strategic timeline, weekly car reveals should have begun 2 weeks ago.

Amazon France product listing for Forza 5 now includes:

"With 24 drivers for the first time on the same course online"

Hope it turns out to be true - I'd be very happy with that, 24 players on dedicated servers!

by CQR Myles Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 13:47

Only 24? It should be 25.5 Cars!

by **CQR Aero** Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 13:54

Oh boy, 24 would be awesome, but only if they're all player cars (not 16 + 8 AI for example).

Ok that's got me worried again. Thanks Chris you just gave me another grey hair!

With the new Twitch TV integration we can all live stream from onboard!!

by F4H Lotterer Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 14:02

or run 3 classes and have 8 per class per lobby.

by Guest Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 14:06

Nothing confirmed yet Wumba, it's just in the product description, but it's the first evidence of a definite number of cars on track I've seen so far.

@Aero - If it is 24 cars, there's no reason why it wouldn't be 24 real player cars - they're less CPU intensive than AI cars (because each players Xbox is doing the physics), so it's actually more intensive to generate additional AI cars. Notice how Forza 4 is 12 players in single player (AI cars), but up to 16 in multiplayer.

@Trash - sounds great, Forza 2 was only 8 cars, so it's like having 3 Forza 2 lobbies in one race Smile

Also, because dedicated servers will reduce the strain on people's uploads, we should be able to run capacity lobbies - e.g. 24, we can't even take full advantage of FM4's 16 player lobbies because it falls apart much beyond 12. So in effect 24 players would double the size of what we regularly race now, so very good news if this rumour is true.

With any luck these what i call BS tracks will be gone along with the likes of Benchmak layouts.

by LastNewtStandin Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 14:14

24 on an oval will make Mark a very happy mario bruva too

by BG Wumba Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 14:16

If they include Longbeach, 24 Indycar race around there! :drool:

by F4H Lotterer Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 14:24

Actually thinking about this it is really a horrid idea that now you can have your aero damaged by any of 23 drivers rather than 15 and still not get it repaired.

by Standaman94 Fri 6 Sep 2013 - 14:27

Shortage of pit crew? Razz
