One thing I do like about the Xbox One is the ability to record up to the last 5 mins of a game, thou only at 720p... that's good for a lap showcase or something, but not long enough for a full race broadcast. (Twitch is for that.)

Anyway, Forza Motorsports 5 is a pretty awesome racing game, thou no support for my wheel makes me use a game pad, the tracks and cars are much fewer then before, but a few of my favorites are there, and the AI continues to be idiots, not holding a line, squeezing you off, and sometimes braking for no reason, even on a strait away once in a while... but it's still fun for what it is, lets hope Project Cars does a better job.

Here's a lap race at one of my favorite tracks, Road America with one of my favorite cars, the Corvette. (I was born and raised a Ford Mustang fan, but since getting into ISMA SportsCar racing, I've become a #4 Corvette Racing fan, and want one of my own... which will never happen. wink

Their are 5 difficulty settings in FM4 this is number 4, 5 requires clutch work and sucks on a gamepad, the AI is above Average... normally I always win, once in a while usually due to damage I lose, in this case you can see I took damage and the car was pulling to the right the last half of the race... so it was not a good race, but shows you the game quickly, the good and bad.

I thought the AI was supposed to be other people's drivatars?

Now I'm glad I didnt sell off my Intensity Pro (though I'll be upgrading to do 1080p/60 soon)

well it is, but either some people can't race worth a crap or I'm better then I think or that's just a farce... it's really just AI tied to another racer. wink

Avatars prolly drive like crap because the best drivers from FM4 are stuck using a Controller.

I cant do it, I tried to run FM3/4 with a controller and it didnt last a lap, I had to pause, disconnect controller and setup the wheel.

I still have a mess of events in FM3, and most of the FM4 event list.

I'm still wondering how I barely played FM3 and got all but 1 achievement, but I Abused Fm2 for 4+ years and only have like 60%.
