Hang on a second, you're now claiming the models in FM4 weren't accurate?
Let me break something down for you right here and now:
Lamborghini Reventon: Wrong color (granted that's easily fixed so it's hardly an actual gripe) and the driver's seating positioning is off. A problem not present in FM4.
Lamborghini Reventon: The air brake is still non-functional.
Hyundai Veloster: Absolutely lacking the same full-on Auto/Forzavista experience found in 4.
And I'll just end it right there as to be quite honest I haven't made a list of everything; the examples above just happened to come to mind. So, tell me again, what is there that we should be so head-over-heels in love with when everything that's been supposedly improved from 4 is now fundamentally flawed in several ways?
...And I haven't even begun to mention the fact that several cars lack body upgrades found in 3 and 4.
I'm sorry but really?
Your complaint is that they've rebuilt these models from the ground up?
You guys do realize that the past Forza games have had really good car lineups and it only makes sense that they will remodel and reintroduce past models too. Are most of the new cars repeats because they are in older games? Sure but that's because they've already collected data and recorded sounds on these cars making them easier to rebuild.
You can cry and whine all you want about it but these cars never looked like this in Forza 4 and Forza 5's biggest thing is the jump in graphical fidelity of the car models. This isn't Gran Turismo and Microsoft isn't going to just port over a bunch of Forza 4 cars just to inflate a car list and they also aren't going to give cars away for free after rebuilding them just because they were in a past game.
If you don't like this then don't buy the DLC and as far as the Season Pass is concerned you knew all along this was going to happen so why even act surprised at the sight of it?
I for one am very happy to see the MC12 returning and it looks fantastic and I'm sure it sounds better too, will I pay for it?
Sure, when I get the chance but I'm not going to whine about already paying for it in past games too.
Where is everyone yelling about NFS games having the same cars or tracks?
Where is everyone yelling about GT reselling you the same cars with every new version of the game?
Honestly it's funny to see this kind of talk on GTPlanet, although I can't speak of this particular community I've seen this attitude defended over and over again.
With GT you're literally paying for the same exact cars and tracks you've bought in the last game but at least with Forza they are remodeling them and improving their sounds and physics.
That's basically the thing here; you are paying to have a ForzaVista version of the car you had in FM4. If that excites you enough to pay an extra 10 bucks for it that's fine, but for me i would rather not pay extra for that.
To be honest the FM4 version already looked pretty 👍
No you're not, your paying for completely remodeled cars with improved sounds and physics that you can actually drive and not just a autovista version.
Reading comprehension: I suggest you try it.
Nope that's basically what people are asking for...
Really? So you think they'll never have to update these?
The concept of "future proofing" is a flawed one from the start. There will always be changes; we're just increasingly getting to the point of diminishing returns - hell, some will argue we're already there. And this ignores what I already said; that it's very likely T10 already had higher-quality versions of the models in the game.
Please, teach us.
Just so we're clear, you're now saying the FM4 models aren't accurate, in general? I'm curious.
Are we honestly going back to the conspiracy theory that Microsoft has been sitting on these models already created?
If you've played both Forza 4 and 5 extensively you would know that the quality difference in the cars is immense.
My bet is you're right. I've been told that some of the cars have the exact same paint glitches they've always had since FM2. How you have the same paint glitches in entirely new model? You don't.
You're just upping the to higher quality version that was always there. Soooo glad I skipped this one...
first Forza I've ever skipped and I will likely not return unless there is a serious change in direction at the top.
Meanwhile....Cha-Ching goes Greenbucks.
Spoken like someone who has never even played the game... which you openly admit funny enough...
Also paint glitches with be the result of textures and not models and the textures and the way paint and materials even work now are completely different from past versions of the game.
What's even more ridiculous is that I'm more than positive T10 said Autovista cars were practically next-gen ready, and that the Autovista system was just a big test bed to see how detailed the cars could be in the future. So if this is the case, why did we have to buy the Reventon? Where are the other Autovista cars, like the CCX, the DeLorean or the Spyker?
Actually no they didn't say that.
They said Autovista models were
prototypes for Forza 5 car models but still were not up to the quality wanted in Forza 5 so they weren't ported over.
