Forza Motorsport 7: General Discussion

[Apple Slipper]

Spotted these screenshots uploaded onto ArtStation by a member of Turn 10 Studios by the name of Josh Andersen. Includes cars that we haven't got yet in Forza Motorsport 7 nor Forza Horizon 4. As you can see, the new cars are required to be tested in Forza Motorsport 7 first before implementing them into Forza Horizon 4.

Such a tease being that we won't get those with exception of the ones that have made it into FM7. But August is the last of the content for this game and I highly doubt they will drop the remainder of those, cant believe they withheld those cars from us

I don't suppose there's any chance of the Corvette C8 making it in the August update, but man I would like to take that around the 'Ring.

We might see some of those in FM8, maybe some in FH4, maybe we'll never see them again, who knows.

I'd bet a hard dollar the Vanquish Zagato comes to FH4 before too long, though.

 

[GTracer38]

FG Falcon from FM5 being there is odd.

Indeed, but I want that to return to the Forza Motorsport games!

Also a fun fact that the Fiesta GRC's headlights in Forza Motorsport 7 are stickers, instead of the normal headlights in Forza Horizon 4.

Tried to get into a League race several times last night. Finally gave up after 30 minutes of the game not being able to find me a session.

Is it just me or did Julys update from a few weeks back enhance the graphics a little? I know FM7 was already a good looking game overall graphics wise but I swear it looks better now since the last update.

I see no difference on PC, but the every now and then I'd get tiny stutters and those are gone.

Can anyone recommend their favourite lobbies?
As I tried MP for the first time today and was so disappointed, all the cars and tracks that are in the game but I kept seeing the same old tracks and same old divisions... SUVs *sigh*
**EDIT** I enjoyed the race regulations lobby a lot more today - no SUVs and no Dubai on repeat!

August final update surprise free Spotlight car: 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8. It would make for a hell of a parting gift.

August final update surprise free Spotlight car: 2021 Chevrolet Corvette C8. It would make for a hell of a parting gift.

Would be sweet, we can only hope. But based on T10s recent history we would be lucky to get one last spotlight car. Its been 3 months

*2020 - I'm hoping/half counting on it because I don't think I'm getting the next XBox.

They wouldn't be able to scan and model it that quickly, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Not necessarily. Chevy could have shared the info with T10 well ahead of time so they could have it ready to go. (I don't actually think we're going to get it in FM7. I'm just trying to point out it's possible, if unlikely.)

Recently my game is stopping in Free Play. I'm trying to do the last challenge for the Forzathon, involving Track Toys and going a certain speed. I choose my car, set up a race, and then go to the race, but in the intro screen to the race my game doesn't go any further, just plays the background music and shows the track straightaway but never goes to the race menu. I don't have a problem with multiplayer or League play.

Did you do anything with buckets or make any changes to race restrictions in the race you ran before attempting this one?

 

[AlienDeathRay]

Yes I did. But I checked, I reset everything back. At least I think I did.

I've had that before after trying to set up my own free play event - the game didn't like. (Y) Reset to default usually fixes it.

 

[Jezza819]

If you manually reset everything I don't think that will clear it up. You have to go back into race settings and reset to default, and then you can change back your difficulty level, etc. and that should clear that problem up.

At least it did for me. I was trying to race with 2 buckets in a certain class. After that race had finished I changed to a different car in a different class and got that screen locking up thing. The music would still play but the overview of the track wouldn't disappear. The screen would just sit there frozen. Went back into the settings and manually changed classes, took the buckets away, still frozen. And I don't know what made me try it but hit the reset to default button then changed everything to what I wanted and it cleared it up and the race loaded normally.

Maybe C8 will be a "hero"\cover car for FM8? Would be cool to see it in FM7 though.

 

[AlienDeathRay]

Thanks @Jezza819 and @beyond72 ! That's EXACTLY what I did, reset to default Y, worked like a charm. I was starting to think I had to give up and accept that it was broken.

The next instalment of Forza Monthly is coming on Monday at 11am Pacific/7pm UK time, and the image that is being shared on social media seems to imply that the 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport is part of the August update...

Sweeeett! Finally Another GT4 car for the KTM to race against.

That's exactly what I thought when i saw the picture.

Wishful thinking has me saying in my head that it's an expansion with even a few more GT4 cars like the Camaro GT4, Ekris M4, and nismo 370Z lol. But I know I'm overthinking, not gonna happen.

 

[Apple Slipper]

Epic final addition to Forza Motorsport 7!

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I'd be genuinely surprised if that livery shows to that level of quality on a base XB1...

Also, is it too much to hope for the road-going 718 GT4 too? Or maybe even the Spyder alongside for a goodbye trio?

 

[Nacho Libre]

So that was the last update for Forza Motorsport 7? For me it goes out with a whimper, not a bang, and I'll always wonder what would have happened if they had chose to develop FM6 over time instead (and thus break the 2 year development cycle back then.)
That being said, I'm liking what I'm hearing from Chris Esaki, sounds like a reinvention truly is coming.
