Forza Motorsport 7: General Pre-Release Discussion

[ImaRobot]

I get 8mbps, so that's going to be a day or probably 2 for me at least, depending on how my internet is acting. . I hope they let us predownload it.

I'm so sorry for your troubles

I think mine will be along the same line as @-Fred- lol.

The worst part of it is, there's 60mbps high speed just a few miles up the road, it's frustrating.

I know how that goes. When I first tried to get internet for my mom, to get her away from the horrid ATT service she had, I was just one street across too far. I was fairly pissed haha.

Nothing to worry here - optical fibre
Sorry

 

[FordGTGuy]

Oh great, that'll be like 6h to install...

Preload.

 

[-Fred-]

Preload.

Nah, I don't like buying digital. Call me old school but I enjoy having physical copies of stuff.

Had a race in bathurst this morning, and the AI did this


It makes the race more believable and dramatic. Hope they keep mistakes like this in the game.

I hope you all have some extra storage set aside for FM7. It's going to be a 100gb download.

Thanks to @R5 for the info and link to the article.

Holy mother of...

God bless my ISP for gutting DSL and forcing us to switch to fiber optic (which, for some reason, is also cheaper. Go figure).

 

[Cloudy]

That 100 gig download is going to be just awesome for my ~4 mb/s connection!

 

[PJTierney]

You mean 26 for us non-fibre players

 

[fet_thunderdome]

will it have a proper triple monitor support?

 

[mrPetros]

pc yes, ultrawide too
I edited my post in another thread to tell you so, but probably missed it.
you're good, no worries 8)

 

[GBalao888]

If that's really the case with Motorsport 7 being a 100+GB game, then...

R.I.P. My Xbox One.

[bf3]

Nooooo....to much for me

 

[mrPetros]

4k youtube video

I guess we will have proper such videos when game is out, but still

Man, the FM7 vs GTS vs pCARS2 thread...

It'll be a hand full.

 

[mrPetros]

very good news from BadNed!

For Forza 7 as we already know, there are over 200 ribbons total.
these do not double count the weather variations! (confirmed)

for comparison, Forza 6 had 102 ribbons, 115 with all DLC

smells like a significant increase in content, if thats even possible

I am pretty sure we are going to break legendary world records in double standards, if that counts

 

[bf3]

From NeoGAF?Yeah,im watching that thread as well,Helios there also.
So 2 forums for my hungry hype to feed

 

[mrPetros]

Badned is not just a member of a forum. He's the owner of forzacentral.com (another forum for your feed), and last years he works within turn10.
so what he says, its guaranteed

He doesn't work at Turn 10. He has some sources/contacts but I know for certain he is not Turn 10 staff.

I dont know exactly what goes in definition of staff, but I'm pretty sure that some years back I learned about it. and it was a good call from Turn10 too, the guy has been running forzacentral since day 1. and always reliable as far as I remember.

wow thats big news

yes, I think so too. We'll see soon-ish.
even if they go back to all existing tracks and add all the missing ribbons from real-life, we are still far away from 115->200.
Looks like my estimation the other day that when they say "more than 30 environments" that is equal to 31, might prove wrong after all.

Didn't Forza 6 have upwards of 130 ribbons?

EDIT:

There are 90 daylight circuit ribbons, 22 rain ribbons, and 18 night ribbons for a total of 130 separately listed ribbons

I don't think thats counting the tracks that came with the expansions either.

"Pretty much all the locations featured in FM6 did not had all the ribbons they have in real life either, so adding new ribbons to existing locations isn't really unrealistic."
Hope Turn 10 goes down that road and adds the MotoGP variant of Catalunya and the VLN layout for the Nurburgring. Those would be really sweet.

the official blah blah only says 26 locales, just checked. no account of total ribbons. and going by manteo's list, 90 daylight + 18 night time is 108, not 102 as per badned. (but 102-108 are still close, and very far from 200)
so, only one way to proof it out. we count ourselves!!
I also wanted to run a lap or two in forza6, so probably do it later, unless you've got the data already

I won't be able to check until Monday, unfortunately.

EDIT: Also, that post was stickied on the official Forza Forums, it might have some truth to it

manteomax is like a living database, true that. but even according to his list, its 90 daylight + 18 night time + 22 weather.
disregard the weather as badned says, and you've got 108. which is more than 102, but close.

Either 102 or 108, both numbers are almost half of the announced 200 Forza7 ribbons.
sounds good ..worst case scenario, we get a hell lotta more night tracks.
