Forza Motorsport is Xbox's answer to Gran Turismo. Loads of cars and tracks, stunning graphics, and relatively good physics. This is an excellent choice for the motoring enthusiast looking to try his hand at sim racing, or anyone looking for the ability to choose from and modify hundreds of cars and go head to head on some of the worlds best circuits.

Makes the pc look very out dated..
Im running 2x 290 amd cards top 1% of all benchmarks and I have nothing that can come close to looking as good as this forza on hardware that's 3 generations behind me.
Very annoying and sad for the pc users who are generally more pro than console gamers,
They deserve better.

Turn 10 is a very talented team with loads of resources which the developers of PC sims don't have such a luxury, however the physics and FFB on PC sims are way ahead of FM5 in my opinion so there's a trade-off.

Same here: 2x R290x and Pcars looks worse on my PC than on the PS4 :(

How is that even possible that it would look worse on PC than PS4? That goes against every game made except those that were purpose built with a better engine for a console like NBA 2k14 on PS4/XB1 vs PC, but that's really rare.
 
LOL, thanks but that's obvious :p, what I can't find is the special event inside the multiplayer.

I'm not 100% sure but with the June update the AA quality was improved, at least to my eyes...
Unfortunately I don't have a steering wheel for the X1 to judge the FFB, but IMHO the controller support isn't good like with the previous Forza games.
 
Hm, i'm not pad player, but tried FM4 once, now FM5 and even pCARS, and it definitely works great, mainly because vibra triggers. But again, im noob in gamepad topic, and can be wrong.
