This year the Forza Motorsport franchise turns 10, an opportunity for us to offer you some videos of the first Forza released on Xbox in 2005, just before the sixth game comes out. To capture te game we used the Xbox 360's backward compatibility, set to 640x480 because the European version of the game forced 50Hz, causing the game to run at 25 FPS instead of 30.

This game made me envious of xbox owners and was one of the first things I bought when I got a 360 since it was backwards compatible. All jokes aside the graphics hold up pretty well and the driving model was pretty complex for its time (pretty sure it already had the physics model overlay that's now ubiquitous). You can also thank this game for the driving line. Thanks for the nostalgia!!
I think the Fast and Furious tie-in cars, rain with puddles and open wheel racers offer a lot of charm in Forza 6.
I really miss Maple Valley, it was one of my favorite tracks in Forza games on Xbox 360.
If you had watched the F6 live stream you would see the amount of trackside detail going into the game this time round is quite staggering considering its running at 1080p 60fps.. i really dont think trees looking super detailed was more of a priority than filling the environment with more objects..
