Microsoft: 'Forza 5' 24-player online multiplayer listing 'inaccurate'

XMNR: A retailer listing discovered Friday suggested that Forza Motorsport 5 for the Xbox One would support 24 players in online racers. A response directly from Microsoft to Examiner.com nixed that information along with a count of new cars though.

"Turn 10 Studios has confirmed only 29 cars so far along with five tracks."

They better get that up.

okmrman3921d ago

"they better get that up"

thats what she said :P

PraxxtorCruel3921d ago

Perhaps they've listed 24 player as inaccurate because they might instead announce 32 players online? IMAGINE THAT! :p

DeadlyFire3920d ago

32 players online in a racing game? Nascar beat that years ago with 43 players. :P I hope that they aim for that in next gen consoles with next Nascar entry, but I am doubtful.

While I do wish more racers had large scale races with more players I don't see it happening just yet. NFS Rivals has 6 players on current gen for its online play. Their idea is that you want to be number one and its impossible with more people. I disagree. Chaos adds a special kinda benefit to a racer in some ways.

Dee_913920d ago (Edited 3920d ago )

well hopefully its atleast 20.
alot of cars on the tracks was one of the things I was looking forward to the most next gen
@ deadlyfire
I disagreed by mistake while iwas typing this haha my bad.

@PraxxtorCruel

Right, because they wouldn't brag about it if the confused number was higher.

"Turn 10 Studios has confirmed only 29 cars so far along with five tracks."

They have only confirmed 29 cars and 5 tracks not said there will be only 29 cars and 5 tracks. Forza 4 had 400+ cars.

Deadpoolio3921d ago

Thats probably just whats on the disc, you have to go home and download the other half of your game so thats probably where the rest of the cars and tracks are

Nafon3921d ago

Deadpoolio:

XB1 uses bluray, so they could probably fit all of the cars and tracks on the disc

Triella3920d ago

@Nafon
And they most likely did, but they're probably in the form of unlockables AND behind a paywall.

24 seems abit excessive. Of course the more the better but really when you have more thsn 8 people just leave when their not top 6 and it makes the first corner impossible. It's good for friends and leagues but in reality 16 will be more than enough.

HammadTheBeast3921d ago

See, I think it's the other way around. With 24 players, even if you fall behind the track won't be empty.

kewlkat0073921d ago

Seems like HammadTheBeast is used to be being by his lonesome on the tracks...

HammadTheBeast3921d ago

Yeah, first place can get pretty lonely.

Imalwaysright3921d ago

24 people fighting it out on Nurburgring = gaming bliss to me.

Irishguy953921d ago

24 is an option. If you like 16 stick to it.

mt3921d ago

I disagree with you. it is always good option to have more people online. of course it is better option to have for example 24 players race- 16 Players race - 8 players race. because I know for sure 24 players will be chaos but you have good laugh racing 24 players especially knowing froza glitches *winks winks* fly away.

Lol at that plus the 29 cars haha...oh wait I pre ordered this...fuck!!

Masterman2803921d ago (Edited 3921d ago )

I still hope its 24 players online, a 24 cars pile up in the first turn would be hilarious!!

Allah_The_Great3921d ago

There are wide tracks in the real world you know. But very few of them none the less.

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"

Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.

bluefox7551775d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1775d ago

Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.

IRetrouk1775d ago

I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for September 2017 any good?

James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"

Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.

lxeasy2466d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2466d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2466d ago (Edited 2466d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2466d ago

I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.

TheSaint2465d ago

I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.

EazyC2466d ago

Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides
