I'll agree that the feel of the cars has improved since Forza 4, which should be the expectation when jumping to a next-gen console (especially dig the separate feedback for the brake...wow!) Graphics aside, I gotta agree with Mikey that the lack of content from Turn10 is disappointing. A racing simulation game that prides itself on being top shelf, yet no Nurburgring? And with all the newly available resources that come with a more powerful architecture, I can't help but frown at the list of cars being demoted to "arcade racing" level. I mean, I think I had more options to choose from in Outrun!

That being said, do I think the game is a flop? Absolutely not. It was the first game I picked up and I don't regret it a bit. Do I think Turn10 left a lot on the table? Absolutely, and there's a very specific reason why. To get a similar experience and level of available options in 5 that I had in 4, I'm going to be forced to pony up on the microtransactions, which will easily double the investment cost. Unfortunately I can't give Turn10 the benefit of the doubt on this one. They really set the bar in previous installments and have shown us what they're capable of putting out. Going next-gen means that the limitation of having to balance quality AND quantity should no longer be on the table.

In the end there's no question that Turn10 is going to show that they're capable of giving us the quality and quantity that a next-gen experience deserves. Question is...how much are they going to charge the masses for the content that should have been included in the first place?
