Oh, I think everybody prefers the idea of new cars as DLC. FM6's DLC was pretty fantastic IMO.
But there needs to be balance — and it needs to be considered that not everybody is going to stump up the cash for post-release content. There's almost nothing new in terms of cars/tracks so far over FM6. I get that there's undoubtedly a lot of work put into the dynamic stuff, bringing back the 360-era content, and other things... but cars/tracks are the visible big sellers for games.
Don't get me wrong, for those that will be calling FM7 their first Forza game, the content looks great. But after the debacle that was GT6, and it's questionable status as a true sequel to GT5, this is more than a little worrying. Especially since it's Gamescom — it's actually been quiet across all three of the big titles this week, which is shocking.
To be fair, FM6 has a car count of around 460-470.
So we're talking 250 extra cars.
No, if you bought all the DLC, you total 616 cars (I believe) leaving roughly 104 "new" cars.
But then, I think fairly, you would have to count all FM7's dlc.
Granted if 30-40 are "FE" versions, that's somewhat of a duplicate. They do have nifty traits, particularly cash bonus cars, but even still, removing them leaves about 60 "new" (mostly returning) cars.
For everyone that's on PC, and PS3-Xbox1 traitors like myself, all those oldies are brand spanking new.
For FM vets, it's (presumably) newly remodeled classics that disappeared and were requested back.
The downside if for any new cars it's a dlc nightmare.
That's a bit disheartening. While I'm all for the idea of purely new cars as DLC, I was still hoping for at least something in the base game.
Even though they've stated 700+, I doubt it will be significantly over that count. Much like the "Hundreds" from Forza 5 literally just turning out to be 200, from the 30+ tracks labeled for FM7 which turned out to just be 32(?)
Well in fairness, it was an aspect of Forza that people would use to bring up a fault against PD. It makes sense that it's getting the same treatment now even if it is at a significantly lower degree.
Yes, however 30, only covers Mazda's. Horizon or Forza cars, at least cone pre-tuned, and with an in-game bonus.
In GT, "tuned" cars of some kind were always counted as another model as well. (Without duplicate complaints)
I was thinking, if T10 pulled a PD, and used copy-paste work to model every year of all their cars...(like a 92 nsx, 93 nsx, 94 nsx, 95 nsx, etc)
Car count could hit 3-4k
I may be crazy but I would by happy if they just had all the FM4 cars as "standard cars". lol Just imagine the car list if they did that. Maybe even FM2 as standard cars and FM4 as semi-premium.
We would have a choice of so many mid 2000s cars. You can laugh at me but it would be dream coming true to me because I always wanted to play X360 era Forza games and never could.
please god no.
No more premiums and standards and super premiums or mega ultra premium quality.
