Having seen the graphics of this first hand at Eurogamer, I must admit that I was seriously impressed. If the gameplay and sound matches the graphics, then Turn 10 can genuinely be proud of themselves. Fora 5 will be Xbox One only.

I spent some considerable hours playing 3 and 4, but the game just lacked something for me. It felt too clinical, to clean, nothing seemed wrong. It was just... too perfect. Even looking at cars in their garages, the garage looked like it had just been the location of a mass murder and a crime scene crew had cleaned it up. At least with Gran Turismo the cars were in pits, paddocks, museums, etc etc. Whereas GT4 (not 5) felt like the kid in a Focus RS hooning around a track at full tilt, Forza felt like a physics buff measuring g-forces in every corner in his perfectly tuned Nissan GTR.
I don't know if that coes across really well, but for me, racing needs to have a bit of grit. A bit of danger. A bit of people sideswiping each other to get ahead. Forza just didn't have that.
I'm not sure if I'll be getting this one myself, but as I said, if the graphics were anything to go by, then Forzaists have a fantastic treat to look forward to.
