I dont know if someone had posted but Steve Super GT has made a intresting video about FM
He seems really intrested in the game and he wants talk deeper about the multiplayer later



The graphics in the track reveals has been very inconsistent and I’m not sure why but damn the Home Screen looks pretty incredible at the start of super GT video. Seems the track reveals in broad daylight all look great but other times of the day maybe the compression is messing with the detail
 
BOK

What does the homescreen have to do with gameplay graphics?
 
I would love to see LMP3 in Forza. I used them quite a lot in PC2.
They were fantastic cars in PC2 and I think they would fit a nice niche in FM8 as well. Having a more sensible stepping stone towards the "big prototypes" would only be a good thing.

In general I would like more feeder series cars. Most people can't handle the top class stuff and having them as the only option throws people in the deep end, so having a better "ladder" might help people... Although knowing racing game people, they would probably just skip the ladder because they are too cool for it and crash a bunch in the fastest things, like all the knobs that go "pfft I'm not racing some wussy Miata, I'm going to drive a GT3 car at Spa" and then proceed to crash out on the first lap of the race. Every ****ing time.

Ginetta GT5, Group CN, Group C2, TA2, Clio Cup, GR86 Cup, any of the various South American beginner touring car series, the Ligier support series with protos and their cool GT car, etc would all be good additions for the series.

Its the lighting and tod, in every game and in real life lighting can make everything look good or very dull. Here are some examples

I have feeling they did made those trailers in different bulids
What ones, i dont know, but my guess that Mid-Ohio, Miami and Glen are in the closest bulid to launch
 
For extreme weather lovers, is there thunderstorms in the game? :D I'm looking forward to driving during night time and with brutal rain. :cheers:

The new for '24 Mustang one make series would be nice and an exclusive for the series but you might not see it until '25 after the series has it's first season.

Mustang Challenge is a IMSA and Ford series, both are partner with Forza so i dont think would take that time
The biggest probleem would be the vote in forums, specially when people prefer the Horizon people there want the GTD

I enjoy watching Super Gt's videos. Im really going to enjoy watching his review.

I also hope for Viperconcepts review.

PS: Forget Viperconcepts review he made it clear on youtube he will be quitting or not making as much videos as he used to as he said his gonna start a family and get married. Basically he will move on with life. Understandable.

You might not see it too much in open play but it's very easy to create custom race events with fairly extreme weather conditions.
 
It just hit me that Super GT is one of Jimmy Broadbent's team members at his recent outing to the Nurburgring with the Bilstein BMW. Should've subscribed to him a long time ago, he's very entertaining.

I'm quite excited that Steve got a code, since he will try out the game on his sim rig and is quite experienced in that regard. I always play on a wheel and rig myself, so his opinions will be very interesting to hear.

Perhaps he will also be able to tell how balanced the performance will be between players on a wheel and those using a controller. In FM7 it was always a big disadvantage to use a wheel.

On another note, I hope they introduce more historic layouts of other tracks, like Hockenheim for example (if it gets added post launch). Imagine having the old loop through the forest where the faster cars can really stretch their legs 😍

I was thinking that, but they had covered the layout in trees so i dont know if can be properlly scanned and there has various dirt roads across the track now makes the process very more confusing

We could list the tracks they could do, but the only ones i know by head right now is Indianapolis F1, Interlagos and maybe Pocono

In terms of tracks in the game that could have historic layouts, Laguna obviously, Silverstone is another as the old bridge layout is still there, Grid had this layout as well. Not sure about others.
