Forza 5

The details that MS dropped on Forza 5 were simply amazing.  Not to mention they had on stage a Mclaren P1, one of only 2 in the world.

Lets talk about the game!  Every aspect of this looks like a dream come true.  From real time reflections (finally) to the glare off of the pavement and water, this game is all about the details.  Even the small ones!  Turn 10 boasts that you will see attention to the slightest detal, from the wearing of brake calipers, to the road wear of tracks.

Most impressive at the show was "Drivatar", the new cloud powered tech that promises to end AI as we know it.  Drivatar will learn how you play, learn how you corner, learn how you make passes, learn when you get aggressive and when you play it safe.  This system learns what makes you unique as a racer/driver.

But why?

When you turn off Forza, you keep racing.  Drivatar continues to enter events and drives your car just like you do.  Next time you log into the game you can see how your Drivatar did in races, see what they won for you, and know that even when you aren't able to play you are still there racing. 

This means that if I log on and jump into a race, I might be racing against a friend of mine who is not even logged on!  So no more predictable AI, I'm racing against real people, all the time!

Not much more was really revealed at the event.  Turn 10 showed a lot of footage of the game running and spent most of their time talking about Drivatar.  More news on this amazing title as it develops.
