$10 is what they've always charged for DLCs. At least since Forza 3 they have.

The Forza 5 team said they put less cars in because they wanted quality over quantity. Yes, Forza 5 was rushed, but it's really not anything like you make it sound.

The DLC scheme was different on Horizon and the consumers got screwed, so I'm assuming they'll try the same thing with 5. And that was a generalized statement toward the entire industry not just Forza or MS. The only game where I feel I get my moneys worth in DLC is Battlefield.

I agree with the quality over quantity, just look at GT5. They re-did some cars but left the low res models for others and the game suffered from it. As much as I love the Forza series including 5, it does feel rushed in terms of the content, and I wish it would have released at a later time in a more finished state. Visually and technically it's a stunning game.

Turn 10 didn't even make Forza Horizon. So I doubt it'll be the same.

Oh it's no doubt that Microsoft rushed Turn 10 so they could release Forza 5 with the Xbox One and not do what Nintendo did with the Wii U.

The publisher decides the DLC pricing so that's why I'm assuming they'll go with the horizon plan.

I almost fell out of my chair from laughing at this

What's it doing? If it's driving "aggressively" I understand why.

Slamming into my Gallardo at full speed while I'm cornering sure is aggressive.

No. I think they just use whatever car fits the class/race you're doing.

I probably haven't done anything for that class yet then.

I saw they released the first DLC pack and if I'm correct, all but the Caterham were in the previous Forza.

2013 Caterham Superlight R500
1961 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage
2013 Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG
1977 Ford Escort RS1800
1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 409
2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello
2008 Lamborghini Reventón
1969 Nissan Fairlady Z 432
1957 Ferrari 250 California
1984 Peugeot 205 T16

The new way of doing business with video games is really driving me away from console gaming, and maybe video gaming as a whole. I still enjoy my Fallout 3 on 360, so I may just replay old games for quite a while.
