New Acura NSX

Video also had a couple new tracks.

GT5 gets the NSX Concept and FM4 gets the Velostar Turbo. Ouch!
 
FM4 might get "only" the Veloster Turbo... but it's playable (with the Rally version too). There's been no hint of when/if that NSX concept will be made available, or at what cost.

The track, though - it's confirmed :)
 
Does the Huarya not count?

What about the RS1800, Monster SX4, Risi 458, Yokohama Gallardo, Scirocco R, Focus ST, Audi RS5, RX8 R3

do I really need to keep going? :sly:

I'm pretty sure the unoffical DLC score is

Forza - 3 GT5 - 0

Exactly.
I havent brought DLC for either, but Forza is the only one that wants me to spend money on it. RM's of included cars? Slightly different models of the same car? (mini, GTR) please.
I wish I didnt hate DLC, Forzas would have been purchased long ago
 
I do give PD some props for getting these tracks out. Although it was discovered that a bunch of tracks were already made anyway waiting to get in the game. (Remember that guy found some code with a bunch of tracks not in the game yet).

Forza does need to step their track game up though. I know we'll get something but they may need to bring a few more than just 1 or 2 this time around. Personally I'm ok with what we got but it wouldn't hurt to have some more.

As far as these concept cars their all nice and everything but I'm with everyone else , real > concept.
 
Does the Huarya not count?

Did the Huarya get announced at the 2012 Detroit Auto show? Guess I didn't make it clear enough but I was comparing the two cars that made it from the show this week into games already. And yes, I said into games meaning its in the game not meaning it is playable (yet). It is PD, it will take them like 2 decades to perfect the car and release it to the public. See, I can make GT5 jokes too. :D

Side note, guess I should figured this thread would end up like any other FM vs GT thread. Opinions everywhere and rants of FM superiority. I just can't get enough. <- Sarcasm
 
Let's not make a Forza vs. GT5 thread again. There's enough of those on GTP already. As for the NSX, I believe Forza will not try to get 1uped by GT5 so they're probably planing something good for Febuary. Also real cars>concepts. Driving concepts always felt a little weird in GT5.
 
Just to break away from the FM4 vs. GT5 ranting for a bit, what do you guys think of the actual car? I'm still a bit on the fence about it.

On the one hand, cutting edge technology was always what the NSX has been about and it is exactly what Honda/Acura is doing with this new iteration of the NSX. A hybrid all-wheel drive system seems to fit that very, very well and they also keep the engine in the middle of the car, where it is supposed to be.

On the other hand, the NA1 and NA2 NSX build their reputation based on their near perfect handling and the MR layout. I don't think that the handling is going to be much of an issue, Honda seems to get that right on most of their sportscars, but the MR layout will definitely not be there, and the design is also pretty unlike the older NA1 and NA2...

I guess I'l like it eventually, just for different reasons that I liked the NA1 and NA2 for.

Oh, and as far as all the FM vs GT ranting goes: I have a nagging feeling that this thread was kinda supposed to just provide more FM vs. GT fodder :lol:

It kinda looks like an R8 and the rear lights look like those of the Aston Martin 177, the car will also be in The Avengers movie. Not really swept away by it though. I cant wait too hear what the Aventador sounds like in Gt5. I bet you five bucks PD did that car wrong lol. How knows i might actually sound like a V12 this time....Not.

This isn't an NSX in my eyes, as long as it has AWD. Should have named it something else.

i agree. technically it still is just RWD, the electric motor runs the front wheels at certain times. I knew there was no way they could match the oldskool nsx (get it lol). I'm looking forward to hear more about it.

cutting edge technology is a very broad term, what matters is what kind of innovation, automatic dimming windscreen and emotion sensitive lighting can be cutting edge technology too.

I think fore and foremost it should be improvement in weight saving, chassis technology, aerodynamics etc. Electronic gizmos has never been a theme in NSX's history, but as long as most of the performance comes from chassis technology i don't mind some extra punch from clever diffs etc. In my mind the ideal New NSX should be like a carrera GT but with two less cylinders, shorter wheelbase, less overtyred rear end and a more docile handling package.
 
The NSX was the first production vehicle to come with both fully electronic power steering and throttle, at least according to its German Wikipedia page; in any case, it was the very first Honda to have electronic throttle fitted to it, so either way, I wouldn't say that using cutting edge electronic devices is unlike the original NSX.

that was only on AT acura models though, the luxury version. and it isn't as intrusive (in both good and bad way) to the driving dynamics as motor powered front wheels, that alone will affect the steering feel alot.

I won't either agree or disagree with that, for now. All I'm trying to point out is that the NSX has always been about cutting edge technology, including electronic devices. Considering that it still remains the first production car to pull something like that off makes it hard to say that incorporating electronic 'gizmos' is contrary to what the previous generations of the NSX did.

That the amount of electronic devices would differ greatly between a car developed in the late 80s/early 90s and a post-2010 car, obviously.
 
I wish it looked like a Honda, i.e. typically bland details stretched over an MR chassis, rather than this trinket design.
 
Forza already has the most desirable super-concept car of recent time IMO..

And the thing is, unlike the NSX, it isn't due to go into mass production (Only 20 unless lambo go back on their word) so T10 won't have to waste time modelling it it twice. I can wait for the production model in this case. ;)
