Confirmed Game Features:

Confirmed New Features:
-Working headlights (Including daytime running LEDs)
-The game will make use of the Xbox One's 'Impulse Triggers' - providing different vibrations and feedback to go with engine roar or tire damage.
-There will be no night cycle, and no weather effects (except for mild fog/mist).
-Variable track friction depending on track position i.e on/off the racing line, or on the marbles. Possibly "rubbering" in of the track.
-Cars are now 'paint-able' in a variety of different materials from 24ct-Gold to Carbon fibre. There won't be any rust.
-The game will feature Drivatars, that will mimic your driving style and that of your friends, and also use liveries from your favourite artists.
-The auction house and storefront are no more, however designs will be available to download for free, and the creator will be paid each time the car is used with the livery on it.
-Cars will show wear such as blueing on chrome tailpipes, discolouration etc.

Confirmed existing & updated features:
-A new version of Autovista - called Forzavista - will be included, again bringing detailed interiors, opening doors and functioning features (i.e. active aero).
-Tire wear (now visible).
-There will be at least two road surfaces - tarmac and brick.
-There will be tire smoke, sparks and debris. Also the dirt on cars will show up as specks of debris & dirt. The paint on the cars will be more realistic as minute imperfections will also be simulated.
-Cars will have backfire.
-There will be active aero.
-New damage models.
-Cars can still be disabled fully, but wheels will not detach.
-Tuning, upgrading, the PI index and classes & the livery editor will all still be present, however it is unknown what (if any) changes there will be.

As much as I want 5... The $100 more for One probably won't be justified to me.

I'd agree but considering how there is literally nothing on PS4 I'd play, the extra $100 is worth it to not have a massive paperweight in my living room.

Forza 5 looks awesome but it will wait. I won't be buying a system at launch and that's the main reason. If I buy a new one it will be the Xbox one and I plan to wait a year or so and try to pick up a Black Friday deal.

[FenwickHockey65]

I'll probably wait a month or so.

BF4 'nuff said.

Can't wait for this game, I have it pre-ordered. I hope they have the Z/28 and the 1LE in the game or at least available in later DLC.

Meh. I liked BF3 but it got old very quickly.

If I can't play Halo or Forza on it then I'm not buying it. The games are more important to me.

Damnit, Halo... forgot about that one. BF4 is like BF3... but they actually tried and cared about BF4
