April DLC Thread - Out Now

[GTvsForza]

The supercar fanboys on YouTube would endlessly complain about the addition of the Honda Odyssey Elite.

*COUGH* AR12 *COUGH*

 

[RazorSharkz]

The packs have been mixed bags I'd say but this takes the trohpy...I mean honestly 4 classic racers and another cool road going porsche joins the lineup, what more can you ask for...now I will say I hope going forward we will start seeing more modern cars especially modern GT and prototypes as there have been a hefty amount of classics in these last 6 packs.

I get it, I just love oddball cars. This pack seems safe to me, also I haven't driven them yet so we still need to see how that goes. Good pack, but my least favorite so far, which I see more as a compliment to the other packs so far.

 

[L8 Apex]

Interesting pack. I know they had to model it a long time ahead of time, but it's kind of a shame they've got the V6 Levante S now that the V8-powered Levante Trofeo has been revealed.

The Greenwood Corvette has proper Goodyear sticker tyres which is awesome.

That's...amazing. That makes it the first car in any Forza game with real tire brand lettering in ages, does it not?

All NASCARs have them and so does the 2017 Renault RS 17, but with those I feel like those would’ve had to have through licensing and sponsorship and what not. So this makes it the first historic car to actually have the correct tyres.

Right. I forgot about the modern NASCAR and F1 stuff, obviously.

 

[-Fred-]

Don't the Indycars have them as well?

 

[Populuxe]

No, they're blank.

I might have been mistaken with PC2 then.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

If the Odyssey is in the game I wonder how much horsepower it’ll get maxed out without a engine swap.

 

[zaxs]

Waiting this lasts pack to start second career playthrough, though I lost interest for game after failing to beat Triton.

So after this one T10 comes to it's playground -extra payed packs...and better cars.

 

[RaceFuchs]

I think the Corvette looks really cool, the Porsche 906 is welcome, too. Overall this looks more like a classic pack. Its ok, i guess. But it gets serious from now on. With the regular car pass out of the way, we could see a proper Expansion anytime. The most interesting and newest cars are also yet to come with the next few packs - it has always been like that.

 

[PJTierney]

@Northstar You might want to remove "Releases April 12" from the title.

Although Johniwanna initially posted that in the Clue Thread subsequent communication from Turn 10 has stated that the pack is "Coming Soon".

There's a chance that the DLC may not release tomorrow if another issue comes up.

Another suv just what we needed. This is the true suv sim. Gt sport has far superior car choises

I respectfully disagree. Gran Turismo Sport doesn't have the car variety that Forza Motorsport 7 has.

 

[SPhilli911]

Well hot diggity dang a 924 Carrera GT, that's a pleasant surprise!

 

[TokoTurismo]

You have to be blind if you think GT Sport's car list is superior over FM7's. Mind you. I'm enjoying it adding JDM cars like the FC, FD, BNR34 and such, as well as other cars, but stop lying to yourself.

 

[PJTierney]

Forza Motorsport 7 has the stronger content lineup, however Gran Turismo Sport has stronger features and overall game design.

Neither game is perfect but both have their positives.

 

[DavidMonoy97]

Umm... Why does Turn 10 want an Oddyssey?

 

[Nielsen]

Umm... Why does Turn 10 want an Oddyssey?

I'm thinking it's product placement by Honda.

 

[Turboteg90]

Because Doug Demuro likes it.

Every car in racing games promotes the car manufacturers. That is the way business works.

 

[JCH8r]

From just the car collections being released, the business model of Forza still seems to lean more to the end user and less to the myopic current head of marketing at Porsche, Ferrari, Nissan, etal. We all understand that the manufacturers sponsoring these games want their products showcased in the best light possible. But, GTSport seems to have gone over to a real world Vision Concept model, featuring currently "relevant" models aligned with futuristic possible race cars, while Forza is throwing in cars with much less immediate commercial appeal that highlight the racing traditions of the brands. The Greenwood Corvette in this new release almost makes me want to buy an X-Box and finally give Forza a shot, especially if they are going to stick to a historic racing formula, while GTSport promotes the less prosaic here and now. The manufacturers who supported the Trans Am, Can Am, F5000, Camel GT, etc. back in the day probably didn't consider the potential marketing upside of virtual versions of all of those series, but that is the marketing reality of modern simracing. I don't think any of the currently available games have completely grasped that fact yet. Hopefully someone will.

TLDR: I feel like historic race cars aren't going to feature in GTSport because they don't sell Civics today, but Forza is playing a smarter long game.

If people get hung up on it [the Odyssey], despite the rest of this pack, then so be it.

How prescient, although it's about the Levante, apparently:

Another suv just what we needed. This is the true suv sim. Gt sport has far superior car choises

By my count, there's around 50 SUVs/trucks in FM7 (depending on what you consider). That's 1/15 of the car list (Around 7%). Or, to put that another way: around as many Skylines as there were in GT6. GT Sport has 41 Vision GT cars — or 20%.

Obviously taste is a personal subject, but if you honestly can't look at the 750-ish car lineup in FM7 and find more cars you'd want to drive than in the 200-ish GT Sport, then I'm going to conclude it's not so much that you're a fan of cars but a fan of a particular franchise.

As @PJTierney said, both games have their positives. Forzas sheer content amount, in terms of cars and tracks, is its.

Also, you agreed to the Acceptable Use Policy when you joined, and that includes proper grammar. That means using the shift key when necessary. 👍

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Not to be a downer, but the only thing I'll say is that I can't wait to drive these road cars in Forza Horizon 4. At this point I've pretty much given up on Forza 7, and the Motorsport series in general.

I did not talk about the cars that come at launch. I was talking about dlc cars. Yes gt has less cars but its Much with Much higher quality. And performence in the cars in gt sport is more realistic. The sounds are Also horrible in fm7 gt sport is Miles a head. This suprices me as fm6 had great car sounds. But a lot of things has go downhill in fm7. This is a bad thing for turn 10 as they have Lose some its players to gt sport and i can understand why, me being one of them. If they just listen better to its fanbase would have make a lot of difference

I was talking about dlc

I second this. I haven't bought the season pass for FM7 (although I have never bought a season pass for any Motorsport game), but seeing the road cars included in the DLC packs has got me looking forward to the car list in the next Horizon game. 👍

 

[Joey D]

So the real question is, can I make a replica of the Bisimoto Odyssey with 1,000hp and a roof box?

I love it when oddball cars end up in racing games. They're almost always more enjoyable than the run of the mill supercar or racecar.

 

[Dsavage27]

I'm also looking forward to the update which everybody seemed to forgot. Hope they address a lot of the main issues that still plague the game including engine, exhaust and turbo sounds on many cars, some glitches and freezes that still occur, lighting on some tracks, interior seating positions on some cars, headlights that can be manually turned on or off, fix homologation and some of the free play bugs, etc...

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I did not talk about the cars that come at launch. I was talking about dlc cars.

So... you'd rather DLC cars be mostly cars that were already in the last game? Not new-to-franchise cars? Because out of GT's 50 post-launch cars, the vast majority have been cars that were already seen in GT6.

Yes gt has less cars but its Much with Much higher quality.

Actually, it doesn't really have less cars, if we're talking strictly post-launch. They're not really higher quality, too; the lighting engine is what makes GT Sport look so great (and let me be clear; that lighting engine really is stupendous). The models themselves are very similar in terms of quality; PD focuses on interiors and headlights more, but Turn 10 models things like under the hood and trunk, with fully opening models in most cases.

And performence in the cars in gt sport is more realistic.

Hugely, hugely debatable (especially with the fantasy cars).

If they just listen better to its fanbase would have make a lot of difference

We've been over that in this very thread; the idea of listening to the fanbase, when even the fanbase on the official forums can't come to a consensus on what it wants, is a folly.

And, again, please use proper capitalization and punctuation. And don't double-post.

FH4 is my most anticipated racing game! More than GTSport, Forza 7 or any other racing game. IMO, FH is now the biggest xbox exclusive game.
