Turn 10 design lead Bill Giese has confirmed all three hosts of the BBC’s extraordinarily popular Top Gear will feature in Xbox One launch title Forza Motorsport 5, but stopped short of explaining their exact roles.


“I can tell you all three hosts are involved, they're going to give us some awesome structure in how we present our career to players,” Giese said to Joystiq during a demonstration of Forza Motorsport 5.


“We'll be announcing a little bit more about that this summer, but we're super excited to have all three hosts this time.”
Jeremy Clarkson featured in Forza 4’s Autovista mode where players could hear his humorous and often candid descriptions of the 26 included cars. In Forza Motorsport 5 Autovista has become Forzavista and will extend to all of the games “hundreds” of cars.


Top Gear holds the record for the world's most widely-watched factual TV show and has been broadcast in 212 territories.

Forza 5 will be so good that it should be forgiven if it doesn't feature "every feature under the sun", Turn 10 creative director Dan Greenawalt has said.

Quizzed by ifcaracing about the lack of features such as simulated pit stops, tire wear, fuel consumption and more, Greenawalt said: "We feel that the true source of Forza entertainment comes from its overall execution and the emotional connection derived from its unparalleled immersive content.


"I feel that any details that are allegedly missing are far outweighed by our cutting edge graphics and physics. But it's not just these critical aspects; it's also (in the case of FM5) the new power of the Cloud that places us on an entirely new plateau beyond anything anyone has out there. So, I think we can be forgiven if we don't have every feature under the sun."


Greenawalt also made what appears to be a reference to Polyphony Digital's extended development periods for its Gran Turismo games, stating: "We'd like to have every good idea there is, but we have to draw lines too, otherwise we might take 5 years to produce the next version."


And in further defence of Forza and his team at Turn 10, Greenawalt added: "Seriously, we could make a hardcore race sim, but that's not what got us here. We can't take the path that others with less success take; we have to forge our own path.


"And as much as we try to be everything to everyone whether they are a car guy or not, we can only go so deep with any single feature if you know what I mean."


Forza 5 will be released alongside the Xbox One in November.

We have some new details on Forza Motorsport 5. The game is scheduled to launch later this year and is a launch title for the Xbox One.

People expecting weather and night racing are in for a disappointment as Turn 10′s Dan Greenawalt has confirmed on a Twitch TV Stream that the game won’t support those features. It’s something fans really wanted from the game considering it’s something that they’ve been asking since Forza Motorsport 3.


The good news is that the game runs at 1080p and 60fps. The game’s visuals can be seen in this in-game trailer.


Paints and tunes are still like the ones in the previous games. They can be created, traded and used but the now the payment depends on the usage and not the initial selling price.


The Auction House is gone due to the above point where they made paints and tunes free to buy. Cloud based suggestions are possible where the game learns what types of paints you like and will suggest you the same. At the Forza 5 E3 demonstration the Drivatar AI was said to evolve based on your driving abilities.


One more good news is that all the cars support Autovista mode which means you can check them out in detail. However, the car roster is still unconfirmed and may be less than Forza 4 due to mandatory Autovista.

Now here are the details and things I have learned about Forza 5 so far:
1. Vinyl/Layers cannot be imported into Forza 5 (new engine/system
2. Every car in the game will be available for Autovista Mode (now Forza Vista)
3. All paint changes, wheel modifications, etc.. will be present when looking at your car in Forza Vista Mode
4. New reworked AI that learns how you drive and finds/improves opponents for races
5. A cinematic movie score is present in the game.
6. No weather or night racing in Forza 5 (thanks to MotorWorldHype.com)
7. Paint is now layered. Clear coat and items are separate in the engine allowing very authentic look to cars.
8. Single player can be played not online
9. No dirt/rally racing like in Forza Horizon. With new engine in Xbox One different tarmacs will feel different. I drove a street course in Prague with terrain changes you could feel like transferring to a bridge.
10. Thrustmaster wheel to replace Fanatec as official wheel (rumor posted by Motorworldhype.com)
11. During daytime gameplay the dashboard has reflections on the windshield within the in cockpit race mode
12. This game will run at 1080p resolution at 60 frames a second.
13. Regular DLC packs are staying in Forza 5
14. Right trigger provides force feedback under shifting adding a feel to the car. Under braking the left trigger vibrates progressively more
15. No current agreement with Porsche
