On xbox.com it says 6.99 for the hoonigan pack for fm7.

So the hoonigan pack is actually purchasable? I read somewhere it wouldn't be available after launch if you didn't pre order digitally but that doesn't make sense, most pre order DLC ends up being able to be brought after launch at some time or another. Really want the Mustang and the Holden drift ute

Very cool photo. Hopefully our garages are like this, and this isn't just a fancy PR photo.

Also, having the pitlane on the right hand side of Maple Valley should work much better, as having the the pit exit come straight on to the racing line, like, the old version, is always a bit risky.
 
Maybe that's where the car collecting aspect comes into play; the more cars you have, the more garages (and home spaces) you unlock, a la PGR3 and 4.
 
Has anyone seen footage or mention of the Storefront, or footage of the livery editor?
 
I think there is no Storefront footage because its not available at release...

  3. What systems are in place to discourage people from deliberately crashing into one another in Public Hoppers? (Unanswered)

  4. Will there be more effective tools to kick consistently unsporting players from Public Multiplayer Hoppers? (Unanswered)

  5. What changes have been made to the League system from Forza Motorsport 6? (Unanswered)

  6. Will some form of #Forzathon exist? (Yes)

  7. Will there be a Co-Op Campaign feature? (No)

  8. Will Saved Replays contain all of the UI elements of a normal race; laptimes/position etc.? (No)

  9. Will Saved Replays run at 60fps? (Unanswered)

  10. Is there some way to send editable vinyl groups and designs to other players? (Unanswered)

The prize crates in FM7 actually remind me of the prize car crates from Car Town.
 
Im actually excited now after the horrible marketing the game got, such a weird approach from turn 10.

I am starting to have this funny feeling they may have waited until their very last moment to show their hand just to to rain on pCars 2's parade by drawing attention away from that game two days before it comes out...

It’s great that we finally have night available on COTA in Forza Motorsport 7, however I was disappointed by many of the track locations still only offering ‘Day’ configuration options.

Imagine racing down the beautiful city-streets of Prague at Night or taking on returning fan-favourite Mugello in the thundering Rain. Whilst not all tracks support these conditions, the ones that do are incredible. I loved Maple Valley and Suzuka in the Rain, whilst the dynamic skies on each track promise to make each race look and feel different.

Forza 7 takes an interesting approach to how it gives you access to those 700 cars. During the campaign, you can't just hop in and buy the best car in the game. Rather, the vehicles are split into various tiers -- at first, you are only given access to the lower tier of cars, but each vehicle that is added to your collection adds to a higher garage score. Higher garage scores grant access to better cars.

Of course, there's also the ability to just skip all of that nonsense in the Free Play mode, which lets you do what you want to do.

Imagine being the guy who has to light every window in Prague up to make it happen...

Is that a Silk Cut XJR9 I see in @LumpiestFish's photo? Way in the back.

Sure is! But that was announced in the last Forza Garage reveal already.

It was? Nice. I thought it was just the Castrol XJR9.
 
Finally have actual confirmation of dynamic time. AR12s video at around the 14 minute mark he starts a race at Sebring at night and ends the race in early morning. Hopefully we get full 24hour time transitions and options to adjust the speed time changes. I want to set up 1 hour races with full day to night and back to day time changes.

 
P1 GTR racing with R class cars?? Has it been moved down to R class??
 
After seeing all of the footage, there are some positives and negatives.

Positives:
- Good lord the graphics.
- Seems like an interesting carrer mode ahead.
- Huge roster of Cars as always. Epic customization too.

Negatives:
- There are cars that sound off. Probably some but compared to PCars 2 its underwhelming at best.
- No traction loss on grass? No dirty tires when off track?
- Forza 6 menu feels better tbh. Forza 7 seems more, for lack of better term, "Americanized".

Also there are some footage where there are bits of framerate drops. Not really sure, though.
 
It seems to be moving towards the aesthetic style of Forza Horizon rather than going for realism.
