menu songs like this

HOLY .... i had NO IDEA that they had posted the sound track for FM4
Does they have the sound track of FM2 and FM3 as well?

The only FM2 sound track i know it have online is the instrumental of "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House", each time i listen, reminds me of the FM2 menu everytime with the car fliping around

I guess Homestead wasn’t available then. Shame, it had multiple good layouts too.

Looks quite a bit shorter than Homestead so I don't think it's intended as a replacement.

Having said that I don't think Homestead will be in at launch but at least there is still hope it will pop up later.

FM7 had a soundtrack? (I kid, but honestly, one of the very first things I did was go to settings and turn music down to zero. I haven’t thought about it since. I doubt I’ve listened to one full song in the entire game.)

Just saw this video, its a great video about the community, it has somethings i also talked on this forum a few months ago, it also talks about upcoming Forza a bit as well, i dont want spoil it much about what it talks about upcoming Forza but please watch it beacuse i feel its necessary to talk about it in relation with the new forza

The whole video is good IMO but I'd suggest anyone wanting to see what @Roflwaffle says about the new FM game jumps to 29'46" - 34'25" where he discusses the online reaction to his recent Forza video.

It's not even that I despise the idea of the car levels; maybe they could've done a hybrid of this and the affinity system from FM4 where you drive brands enough and it helps you level up other vehicles of the same brand.

Anyone else think the lighting and colour has changed a bit in the most recent Road America and Eagle rock speedway track reveals? Am I imaging this? It looks a lot more natural to me (which is a good thing)

Seems less "cartoony" and less "vibrant" in those videos. I agree they look more natural. Could be me though

I was about to comment "Where torben tuesday" but I gues they just announced the stream instead:

I wonder whether less patient players will attempt to exploit the game mechanic by AFKing cars on an oval track until they reach level 30.

This could bring a new meaning to the term "rubberbanding", especially if they introduce an automated steering mode.

I sure hope this month's video is as enlightening and well received as last month's. Hearing positive feedback about the game has made a nice change for the last few weeks.

well received

Eagle Rock speedway doesn't seem to be well received, so i don't think some will be in the best of spirits for the livestream.

How so?

I meant the physics/AI video, not the ad. Thought that was clear from my post.

To be honest if you play FM7 at various times of day with HDR enabled some look plastic and others look really good. FH5 is way ahead when it comes to making their lighting work well at all times of day, so I’m assuming FM2023 will too, but perhaps there are still some times which are more plastic?

oh no, i meant as in the mood has soured over the forums because of the new oval. They have become more skeptical of the next stream because of it

Okay, but if that's all it takes to upset some people, then... 🤔

Too bad that those people are the most active on the official forums. Anyway, I'm hoping for a Torben Tuesday or something.

Too bad for the rest of us. Personally, I'm hoping for an Esaki August as far as this game is concerned.

To be fair, those people always seem to be pretty sour.

Horizon only?

 

[Beebo]

Horizon only?

Oh dear...nothing on the Motorsport socials about the monthly. They wouldn't skip a month, would they?

 

[nukleabomb]

Horizon only?

It's forza monthly, so i'd expect FM too.

 

[UKMikey]

If this really is a FH5 only stream with no FM2023 news they'll have to play the September monthly at 48x speed in order to fit all the remaining unrevealed details in. That was a long list.

 

[MagpieRacer]

 

[Beebo]

Atleast if we don't get a FM segment in the monthly, it seems like they're finally revealing some things on their socials every once in a while. I reaaaally hope my Sagaris made the cut haha.

Everytime a TVR is mentioned this theme will always come to my mind.

 

[Mae Borowski]

By my count, that puts us at 193 confirmed cars. At least 300 more to go

Because they chased everyone else off...

 

[GBalao888]

By my count, that puts us at 183 confirmed cars. At least 300 more to go

Suppose they do 24 car reveals on their socials in a week (since they want us to stay tuned in the coming weeks), by the end of this month, they could reveal 72 more cars (255), then throughout September, that's 96 cars (351). Something tells me they'll need to reveal at least 100-120 extra on every Forza Monthly (between this month and next month) if we'll get like, say, 550 to 570 cars at launch.

I found this tweet (sorry, I meant X post) last month. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽

If they do then they’ll do Motorsport at gamescom.

Confirmed to be about a mile, .5 less than Homestead.
