Forza Motorsport 5 video: 'first ever direct-feed gameplay'

Today, Microsoft has released "the first ever direct-feed gameplay footage" of the upcoming Forza Motorsport 5 for Xbox One. So, ignore all these other videos then, we suppose.

Of course, whereas previous videos were fancy music video cuts of gameplay footage, this is unadulterated footage, showing off a 2012 Pagani Huayra racing on the Bernese Alps circuit. And Microsoft points out that while the track was featured in Forza 4, it has been "completely rebuilt" on Xbox One to showcase the next-gen graphics engine--running at 1080p and 60fps, of course.

Forza 5 will be available on Xbox One launch day--along with these other games.

      Nice, looks good. The environment has more detail, trees look way better more of them, nice particle clouds on the side, reflections are high rez, car model looks real nice, good lighting, rocks on the side are not so flat have higher poly meshes or tessellated(maybe? I have to watch it again).

      Looks good, looking forward to playing it. One thing though it does not blow away Drive Club it is hard to tell which is better, we will have two rad racers that is for sure.

      I dunno... to me, that didn't look like 60fps. It didn't look smooth at all, especially when the scenery opened up and when more trees were present.

        I noticed that I agree, it looked like 30 if that and fluctuated. Devs say it is 1080p @ 60fps so I just waved it off as the video issue, you really can not tell in a vid.

        We will see, they got a lot of pressure to deliver hope they do.

          It's definitely the video. Youtube videos always clock in at 30fps if a video is taken at 60, it's just how the streaming works. Also, I got quite a few artifacts watching it, and I highly doubt that's the game.

            Well that explains it then. Looks pretty nice otherwise. A shame that YouTube does this.

            I look forward to a better video and/or some hands on time with a demo unit.

          ...and also compresses images quality. Still, I'm glad that finally a direct feed video was released - looks good to me!

        They need to do what they did with Titanfall and release the full 1080p 60fps video. Fuck that looked amazing

      Like the music, seems Top Gearish.

      Also I want to see the Top Gear stuff they have planned.

        Forza always had good soundtracks, unlike GT which always had some really weird Japanese pop-music. However, I still always turn the music off during the races because I find it a bit distracting.

        no, no it doesn't... Forza 4 doesn't look this good and it's only 720p not 1080p.
