Yeah too bad you need a strong PC and a highly expensive steering wheel for those two games though...
AC can be pretty much ran on a potato, and can be played with the exact same controller as your PS3/PS4/XB1. So yeah, no.

I just got into this game barely a week ago and now it's ending its post-release support. I'm just awful with timing.
Ultimately, I just hope that FM8 improves on FM7 whilst sacrificing very little content in the process. I also desperately hope it's backwards compatible with the Xbox One, because I don't buy new consoles until they're a few years into their lifecycle, and would hate to miss out on FM8 until half a decade later.

I just can't justify purchasing a new console at launch. [...] Furthermore, I just bought a Xbox One S last winter, and still need to put some miles on it to self-validate the purchase.

How is it awful timing? The end of support usually marks the best point in time to adopt a game, hence it's also common for some publishers to re-release their games as complete editions when support ends. Trust me, you wouldn't have wanted to play FM7 during its first 12 months.
Shame they aren't going to get around to fixing drafting, the racing is really hurt by the current model.
Very sad news but the game has received fantastic updates and free cars since launch, owning Forza 7 day one I remember it had nothing really on release. I thought there was a A I update based on real world Forza players, I was looking forward to this. Also how will we get M Rossi race suit hehe I keep checking the race shop daily . I hope the update in August will be good, I’m guessing no more tracks as I was hoping a expansion would add that but still great job the game I enjoy it.
I really don't think so with a controller though. From what I've heard in the past, many struggled to play it with a controller unless it was built around it in mind by the devs, which I assume wasn't the case.AC can be pretty much ran on a potato, and can be played with the exact same controller as your PS3/PS4/XB1.

This is exactly my feeling on why I said in the past, I will like to play AC with a wheel instead. I just believe it wasn't made for both pads and wheels if the physics allowed it. It be another pCARS situation where you're toggling with the pad settings to get the "right feeling" again.Do you really think that anybody is going to be playing Assetto Corsa with a pad? You're losing a vast majority of the feeling that you get from the handling system. I played AC on PS4 with a pad for an hour before I realized that this game wouldn't feel complete without a steering wheel.

Drafting has been hit or miss with me so far. I don't race online so I can only go off the things I see offline but I notice that the character of a race changes in say the last half to final third of a race. Like last night I was running a race at VIR full. In the first say half of a 15 lap I could be right on the AI car's rear bumper as we start down that very long straight but I won't close on it. But after say lap 9 or so I did close on the AI car and was able to overtake at the end of the straight.
Honestly pre-ordering Forza games is silly, with game pass you either get it for free or can rent it for a month basically and within 3 to 6 months it will be at least 50% off at least once.Totally the same case here.
I bought an Xbox OneX just for Forza Motorsport 7, because I'm a long time Forza MOTORSPORT fan. I played Forza since the first one, on Xbox Classic.
I never thought, that the Motorsport 7 will be soooo disappointing to me.
It's kind a Motorsport / Horizon hibrid with the ridiculous costumes and some other design choices.
So exactly the same happened with me:
I bought a PS4 Pro, and started playing Gran Turismo, for the first time ever...
And meanwhile I always give a chance to my big love; Forza...
I checked it after every update, how the things are, and...
It's not my franchise anymore.
Maybe the Motorsport 8...
We will see.
But this time I definitely not going to pre-order it. It was a big mistake.
If I'm going to buy it new I might as well pre-order it. It's really not any sillier than buying it outright after release.Honestly pre-ordering Forza games is silly, with game pass you either get it for free or can rent it for a month basically and within 3 to 6 months it will be at least 50% off at least once.
No you can't. That's never been the case.If you wait 6 months you can usually get it for around $40 with all DLC included..
I'm pretty sure you could? The DLC has been like 40% off multiple times as has the base game to my knowledge... I'm pretty FM7 was off a bunch as well during the Black Friday or Christmas sale months after release?If I'm going to buy it new I might as well pre-order it.

No you can't. That's never been the case.
The Deluxe edition doesn't even come with all the DLC anyways. For the 2018 sale, Did that include all versions? Because if it didn't than the Ultimate edition wasn't remotely close to the price listed above.Microsoft knocked $20 off the base price for Black Friday 2017.

For 2018 FH4 was 35% off while FM7 was 50%. So while you can get a discount only a couple months after the usual release date, you're not going to get the deluxe version for $40 6 months after release (from the MS store at least).
When FM7 released, I thought I had wasted $100 on it. It was buggy, almost 20% of the cars were locked away, the prize crates were annoying, menus were super slow to load, etc. But T10 fixed the bugs, unlocked the cars, got rid of the prize crates, improved the menu loading times, and generally kept working on it to make it a better game. The monthly spotlight cars were a nice touch and brought a lot of great new race cars to the game. It didn't take long before I was actually enjoying the game. The day after launch, I was 95% percent certain I would not buy FM8. Now I'm 95% certain I will.
I was still on the fence about getting FM7 up until about two weeks before release. Then I saw the Dubai circuit and that was enough to get me to pull the trigger. And yeah, full dynamic ToD and weather would be amazing. If FM8 launches on Scarlett/XB4/whatever they call it, then there's no reason they can't implement it.Well, that and a lot more tracks. Pretty disappointed there was only... Two new tracks? Three? I honestly don't remember. It's been almost two years though...
I'm curious if they'll add the 24 hour weather cycle they were pretty close with FM7.
Technically only 1 brand new track to the series and that was Dubai. Suzuka, maple valley were redone from older games.For FM8 I just want them to to still the career mode from Project CARS lol.
If they don't have practice, qualify and race weekends by the 8th game I'll pretty much give up lol.
