Eurogamer - Forza Motorsport 5 Review

EG:Taking something beautiful and retooling it into something beastly is one of the consistent pleasures of the Forza series. When the Ferrari 288 GTO rolled out of the Maranello gates, it was a vision of sculpted perfection: in Forza, there's an illicit kick in lowering the profile of its chassis, stripping out the luxurious leather interior then strapping a supercharger onto that already heavy-hitting twin turbo V8 to create a true monster.

Said the other day I seen this coming, reviewers are being extra fussy

Perjoss3817d ago

Well people are saying this Forza has a lot less content than Forza 4, so I guess there is a reason for the average reviews.

-Foxtrot3817d ago (Edited 3817d ago )

Well least some reviewers have got their head put on straight

Sorry but if a game has LESS content then the last game then it shouldn't get roughly the same marks as the last one....it should get lower.

People are making this seem as good as Forza 4 and that game was a blast

It's like giving devs a free pass

"You want to put less content in the game....OH THAT'S FINE, we don't mind...we'll just pay extra for it as the inevitable DLC"

skoorydook3817d ago

Thing is I love the series but we only have to look at the reviews for the other launch exclusives, they are all averaging bellow their last gen counterparts.

NewMonday3817d ago

what happened?

this is the worst reviewed Forza in the franchise, I expected it to be the best reviewed XB1 game.

majiebeast3817d ago

"There's the potential for it to improve over time, but right now the Xbox One's heavily touted cloud rains down a thunderstorm of idiocy."

POWAH OF ZEH CLOWD!

badz1493817d ago

they should rate it down for cutting down contents and having the guts to beat their cheat about their DLC plan! let's not encourage the devs to give less and DLC more! more power to the gamer!

WrAiTh Sp3cTr33817d ago

majiebeast must've had to send his console in to sony, lol.

Agreed. If you compare what Forza 5 offers, it doesn't even come close to series standards and this review is pretty much one expression of such. It has about half the content and features of Forza 4, and the only reason it achieves 1080p/60fps is the sheer amount of content and features it's missing. This should hold major gauge in a review, when you're putting down $60 for an incomplete product.

Apart from it having far less content for $60, they're putting out a $50 DLC season pass bringing the content you should have received in the first place to $110.

These fluctuating standards from game reviewers need to be highlighted. I'm just waiting for those stupidly negative and nitpicking reviews of GT6. I'm expecting some overblown A. Sessler outrage about something about micro-transactions, or about it being on PS3 rather than PS4. Indeed.

MRMagoo1233817d ago

I think it should be 5 considering its half the game the previous ones where.

strigoi8143817d ago

paying $60 is not enough for this DLC to complete game

GrandpaSnake3817d ago

I was trying to figure it out, on ign all the fanboys are like YES! we get less weather/lights/tracks/cars but its okay it deserves the a 9 its really fun lol

InTheLab3817d ago

Yeah so just go play Forza 3 Ultimate as it was the last legit Forza....

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.

bluefox7551746d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1746d 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.

IRetrouk1746d 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.

lxeasy2437d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2437d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2437d ago (Edited 2437d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2436d 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.

TheSaint2436d ago

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

EazyC2437d ago

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

senorfartcushion2437d ago
