The Xbox One thread

The propulsive ad accelerates through the pixelated worlds of Gran Trak 10 (Atari, 1974), Pole Position (Bandai Namco 1982), RC Pro Am (Rare, 1987), Chase HQ (Taito, 1988), and Ridge Racer (Bandai Namco, 1993) before breaking through to today’s photorealistic Forza Motorsport 6.

The ad stars the 2017 Ford GT, the all-new ultra-high-performance supercar that will appear exclusively in Forza Motorsport 6.

To place the photorealistic car inside the pixelated game worlds, Xbox photographed a real-life, multimillion dollar prototype of the Ford GT that was suspended within a motion-controlled hydraulic rig. Tracking markers were used in-camera so that shots of the real car fit perfectly into the simulated environment of the earlier generation games. The spot concludes with actual Xbox One footage featuring the in-game Ford GT within Forza Motorsport 6.

The ad was developed by creative agency twofifteenmccann and directed by Michael Spiccia. The song featured in the ad is “Danger! High Voltage” performed by the band Electric Six from Detroit, Michigan.

The full-length 90-second ad will be seen on TV around the world during this weekend’s telecast of the Formula One Italian Grand Prix.

Forza Motorsport 6, featuring 460 Forzavista cars, 26 world-famous environments, and an all-new 70+ hour career mode, is available starting Sept. 15th. Until then, be sure to check out the Forza Motorsport 6 demo, available now on Xbox One. As an added bonus, everyone who plays the Forza Motorsport 6 demo will automatically get the new Ford GT delivered to their Forza 6 garage at no additional cost!

Played Gears UE the other day, it's so hard on your own online, back in the day when I use to play with people you could at least be using strategies a bit, on your own with three over randoms there is just no team cohesion or anything really. It's a good remake though.

I play it with my mate and we're sometimes lucky & match-up with with another party of two. We stayed with 2 other random people for about 15 matches last night and only lost once.

At least there's two of you and then when's four of you makes it so much easier x and y can go here the other two somewhere else, the games I've ended up everyone just goes for the sniper or something, seems to forget their part of a team. And then if the other team are working together you end up outnumbered as they are working well and you can kill one with a bit of wall bouncing but the second one normally gets you, just so frustrating as Gears back in the day was class for me playing with mates, probably best online game ever in my eyes bar the glitching of the crab walk and flip out of the map.

But I'm a gaylord, it's easily the best and by far the biggest racer around and I shale continue to post pointless pictures of my races now and again

Best simcade/console racer, probably.

But once you play a proper sim racer, you'll never go back!
