75 Microsoft stores are hosting Xbox One demos with Forza 5 playable until the system launches.
One of the most significant changes to Forza Motorsport 5 is the removed focus on being first. While that may seem sacrilegious in a racing game, series director Dan Greenawalt explained that removing the need to place in first makes for better racing.
Forza Motorsport 5's first pack will be the "LaFerrari," named after the limited production hybrid car. Turn 10 also announced that the "Car Pass" to get each of the six monthly packs will be $49.99.
Forza Motorsport 5 will be selling another Car Pass, similar to the one offered in Forza 4. It will include six monthly DLC packs, each of which includes 10 cars.
One of the coolest features of the Xbox One controller are the impulse triggers. These additional rumble motors exist in each shoulder button, giving the controller a unique feel.
Today, Microsoft has released "the first ever direct-feed gameplay footage" of the upcoming Forza Motorsport 5 for Xbox One.
You like cars? You want cars? You want Forza Motorsport 5 with loads of cars? You can get more zoomers in the Xbox One racer by scooping the Day One Edition (a free upgrade) or the $80 Limited Edition, Microsoft announced today.
Day one patches are nothing unusual in games nowadays, but this is new: a game that won't run without the patch. Forza Motorsport 5 for Xbox One will require a one-time connection to Xbox Live before you can play the game. Without a connection, the game won't run at all.
A golden year for racing games in on the horizon, so Shacknews conducts a comparison of all the racers out on the E3 floor.
After four games where modest and respectable cars kept their wheels covered, Turn 10 Studios is throwing decency to the wind in Forza Motorsport 5 and introducing cars who shamelessly show their wheels. It's adding classic Formula 1 cars, IndyCar racers, and other "open wheel" driving devices, in other words.
