Forza Motorsport 7: General Discussion

[BK711]

Okay, so I know have both Totino's cars and suits. I have an extra code if anyone wants it. Just send me a message.

edit: code has been claimed.

If anyone has any extra Tostino's codes and feels super generous please send them to me. I've been to my local Targets and Walmarts and there was not a single specially marked pack. Thanks in advance.

Of course T10 are adding yet another offroader that should've been in FH3. They better be planning something rally/ off-road related, because this is getting ridiculous...

I mean, why go through the trouble of spending months modelling that gorgeous new Raptor and you can't even stretch its legs on some dirt?

Oh it will. In FH4.

 

[Northstar]

I really wish they would have brought back the sport trucks from FH4 (Ram SRT10 and Saleen F150) and maybe added a few like a NASCAR truck. They would certainly make more sense than all the off-roaders we have.

Plus, another Raptor? Say what you want about PD and their Skyline obsession, but at least they suited the game.

I don't know man, sometimes the special cars like this don't make it to the next game (Warthog, Chryslus Rocket, Regalia, some random cars).

On a sidenote, that Raptor is how a proper Forza Edition car should be I'm my opinion, a truly custom car that actually looks unique, not the same car with some Forza aero!

To be fair, some of the FE's are actually unique, visually.

For those itching for something that kind of resembles stadium truck racing, take the Forza Trophy Trucks to Test Track Airfield. That little jump at the start feels pretty satisfying to land in the RJ Anderson truck.

 

[TokoTurismo]

Like everybody else, I'm too hoping to see some sort of rally expansion. It be so wicked!

 

[McLaren]

What's funny is there is a truck race on the undercard for the Long Beach GP every year - Robby Gordon Stadium SUPER Trucks - even with jump ramps placed on the front straight.

I'm sure if they added the ramps in this game, everyone would be complaining that it's unrealistic and should be confined to the Horizon games.

(shhhh...a little secret. Even though ykiki takes his motorsports seriously, ykiki found the trucks to be surprisingly entertaining)

I've heard about it. It's just a mix of Forza's AI, that track, & running the truck with my usual setup of manual, & no aids besides ABS that made it frustrating. It's such a uncooperative truck on a tight track with ditzy AI in the first section.

Can you send me some pizza?

I kind of hate this speciality dealer. It’s a cool feature I guess, but now I find myself doing mindless grind races each week with FE cars, just to make sure I have good bank put away for the dealer.

Which brings me to my second point, I kind of hate the FE cars, because I feel like I’m leaving credits on the table if I’m not using one of them on a longer race now.

 

[Northstar]

I hate auto cross so I put the Bronco one in New Racer so I could be done with it. I figured it would give me plenty of time to finish, I didn't however think it would give me 12 whole minutes!

I finished it in 4, received the Bronco and have no plans on trying to improve that time.

Anyone hear or read about Stadium Trucks coming to RA? Hoping to be off that weekend to go.

I have every "country flags" driver uniform.... except my own, Canada.

Ive gotten tons of duplicates as well...

+edit+
Platinum Collector complete! Now, to sell close to 300 Pacers... *sad noises*

+even more edit+
295 Pacers! Kept one though and now have 3.5 million credits for whatever the expensive car will be at the speciality dealer.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

I have the career mode more than half-way complete now.

It’s definitely an improvement of FM6’s career and is less repetitive. My only nitpick about it is that you have to come first in every race in a series for the game to consider it "complete", which kind of defeats the purpose of the championship style of the events. Unfortunately, that means I have to redo the ones that are solid blue. Coming at least first in a series overall should have been the requirement.

So....achievement wise, you need to come first in every race to get the "fully complete" achievement?

 

[Eunosthedeer]

So we are a week away from the first Car Pack right?

I have still not purchased the game yet but I'm still following updates etc.. May have to bite the bullet soon.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

No. You just have to do every event and earn enough points in the process to fill the bar. You don’t have to win them.

Getting a checkmark next to everything is just something I personally want to do.

 

[PJTierney]

No.

You just need to do each event and hit the Series Points target.

My problem with the specialty dealer is that some of the cars so far have been too expensive and out of reach for someone like me who hasn't been able to put in the time to save credits. I've yet to break 2 million CR yet, so buying the Cinque or 250 would wipe me out! Great for the people with money but a missed opportunity for the rest. (Edit: Yeah, they will come up for sale again, I'm sure. But the collector in me wants them asap)

The VIP bonus helps now, but I sorta miss the days where credits were thrown at me and I had a steady 20 mil or so saved and all the cars I wanted.

Cashier gave me a funny look in Game yesterday:

 

[Stang616]

I'm not sure what is going on, maybe they are changing the layout or pulling product. I managed to snag the last marked box at my Walmart last weekend.

Wait! there are 2 cars for the Totino's? I have 2 suits, and the Pagani Huayra. What am I missing?

Both cars are the same, just different liveries.

 

[ApparitionLOD]

I'm guessing IMSA in January, just in time for Daytona. The lack of current GT cars and the IMSA deal just seems to make it a logical choice.

Hopefully whatever it is it includes more than 1 track.

We're only missing 3 tracks from the IMSA calendar and they would all make great additions to the game regardless . If I had to choose only one out of the 3 (Mid-Ohio, Detroit and Mosport), I'd pick Mid-Ohio.

 

[AlienDeathRay]

Okay so it's like the drivers suits, the same just a different variation. I painted over the Totino's on the Pagani Huayra. It was hideous, (why would anybody have a car like that with hideous paint job and decaling, they could have made it cooler by making a nicer Totino's racing livery, or just simply a unique color), almost threw up my Totino's I was eating when I first viewed the car. Thanks Northstar!

Mid-Ohio was scanned years ago with a bunch of others, its the only one that hasnt shown up yet.

These are all just for competing. You don't have to win. I just put together this quick little livery on my Holden Ute:

The deadline is today.

 

[UKMikey]

I thought this time was okay and placed 5th out of 31 friends so how come I only rank in the 99th percentile? Something surely isn't right here?

We should have the hints appearing soon regarding next Tuesdays first DLC. Fingers crossed for a 2016/7 GT3 or GTE car

To anyone else who has VIP, the VIP app appears on Xbox but not the Carpass itself-is that normal? Im guessing it may appear as part of the VIP app but Im unsure, I didnt get the carpass from FM5 and FM6 so I dont know how it works in that regard.
